Just a minor update… the beta of BellaBlocks went out tonight for some private beta testing. Oh, and Rise of Nations worked in Wine but was dead slow. Gave up in the end, trying a VM. Ubuntu is pissing me off again. I swear I’m not going to let this bloody operating system win. Grr…. read full entry »
When we moved to the new flat, I decided that I’d be setting up both my new and old laptops in my little ‘office’ so that I could run the Dell (Ubuntu) for my coding, any work stuff, browsing etc, and the old VAIO (WinXP) for gaming. However, the VAIO is not a gaming laptop… read full entry »
One of the only downsides I’ve found so far about the new flat, is that the TV signal is total toss. We’ve spent evening after evening tweaking it, poking it, moving it, extending the pointy metal bits, turning it up and down (it’s got a booster thing) and it’s still buggered. We have a satellite… read full entry »
Karl and I went to hand over the keys for the old house this afternoon. Upon speaking to our landlord, we discovered that he also owns the flat downstairs (we’re first floor). How’s that for coincidence?
How better to bring myself back into regular blogging than with pictures of the furry boys? Apologies for the quality, these are taken in shit light (again): And if you like Furry Fridays, you may be interested in my next project. I’ll not be starting it for a couple of months though, so you can… read full entry »
Oh hai! I’m still alive :) ISP cocked up our connection move so an order that should have taken 24 hours or less to complete – giving us Internet the day after moving day – is now taking 7-10 days. We’re on day 4 now, so it shouldn’t be too long before I’m back on… read full entry »
12 hours of moving furniture yesterday, I’m absolutely knackered. Argh :| Anyway, not a proper blog, just wanted to let you all know that the Internet hasn’t been connected at the flat yet, the cats are settling in nicely, and the guinea pigs didn’t even notice we moved them really. A couple of people have… read full entry »
The day has finally arrived! Karl and I went to pick up the keys and let ourselves into the new flat. It’s just as spacious and light as when we looked around. And, I have to say, I was blown away by the thoughtfulness of the estate agents. They handled the entire thing with speed,… read full entry »
SitePoint (the cool people who make books and write articles and things) are giving away 5 of their books in PDF form for the price of 1. That’s $149.75 worth of books for just $29.95 (about 20 quid). As if this wasn’t a groovy enough deal on its own (because the SitePoint books do rock),… read full entry »
Due to the unfavourable exchange rate I’ve not bought a geek t-shirt in… quite a while. I try not to think about it too hard, else I might weep. To save myself the time and frustration of having to re-search (not research) for funny t-shirts next time I have money and no pending bills, I’ve… read full entry »
