Server migration

Just a little warning that my website will be undergoing server migration shortly (if it hasn’t already begun!) There may be a brief period of nothingness, or a few little hiccups here and there, but these should be minimal (we have good men on the case). Many thanks to Topper and Chris as always. Cheers [...]

The gift of music

Today I present you with a truly wonderful gift (that was admittedly leeched from a forum I regularly visit). The gift of music… but not just any music. We are talking music from a Golden Age. We are talking 80’s pop music! I’m sure genuine musicians and music lovers alike will appreciate the impact that [...]

Classic Pachelbel Rock (in D)

Ok, so it’s been doing the rounds on the Internet for quite some time now (i.e. the Japanese guy playing along to Pachelbel’s Canon in D with his electric guitar) but I don’t care! It is one of my favourite pieces of classical music and thought it was worthy of another listen!
You can [...]

Lake District / Cumbrian Mountains

Well, what a fantastic and relaxing weekend that turned out to be. Admittedly the weather wasn’t brilliant (i.e. it remained overcast and dull for 96% of the time, rainy 3% of the time and sunshine for the remaining 1%) but that didn’t dampen (fnar fnar) our spirits.
The ‘organic’ hotel was first-class and there’s nothing quite [...]

Looking forward to…

…a completely relaxed weekend in the Lake District. With my lovely cousin. In a posh 5-start hotel.

I may (or may not) be around on the Interwebbynet over the weekend. I know I should perhaps give it a rest but when the rooms have free ‘Net access (and flat panel tv’s)… In all honesty I might [...]

Prey – demo played

Y’know, this game could be very, very good. I highly recommend you download the demo and give it a blast. It looks good, sounds good and (importantly) plays well. It might be a standard run ‘n’ gun affair at heart but, thanks to good level design and well implemented game mechanics, it would appear to [...]

I hate gardening

I do hate gardening (and I’ve probably said that many a time before in my various posts and rants). However, during the recent hot weather – although it’s miserable at the moment – my dear folks purchased some flowers and shrubs for my garden and in they went. The flowers, not my folks. Inexplicably I’ve [...]

Evil, evil biscuits

I never really gave it much thought before (why would I?) but it is quite obvious that ginger nut biscuits are evil. Pure, calorie-fuelled evil. Why? Well, they’ve taken over my biscuit barrel. (Yep – I’m being absolutely serious here). It all started a few days ago…
I decided that it was about time I did [...]

Cooler than cool

Following the recent hot weather (and the fact that it actually lasted longer than 3 whole days) I noticed my PC was getting a little hot under the collar. Nothing too serious, but all the extra cooling fans were kicking in and the noise from the cooler on my graphics card was akin to sitting [...]
