    Applications

    Lots of them. All in a dirty great big chain. First one to the Scottish Vocational Qualifications body to get duplicates of some certificates I’m missing, and the next to retrieve replacement birth and marriage certificates. Once I have birth and marriage certificates, I can...

    Still Moving

    Well, in most ways we’re not any further on but in some ways we’re miles ahead of where we were. For one thing, I have my head around the documentation required by the ACS and it turns out I’m better qualified than I thought I...

    Destroy All Humans (Xbox)

    I have an almost irresistable urge to write this entry in Martian, but I shall resist. ‘k, quick databurst. Third person, walking and flying a saucer, death ray, zapomatic, brain sucking anal probe (god knows what kind of traffic I’m going to get from google...

    Low Carb Rolos (Real Life)

    Good heavens! What will they think of next! Science can now create food that tastes of precisely NOTHING. Nothing at all. Each Low Carb Rolo is a chewy slice of null. It has void taste. Remarkable.

    Uru: Ages beyond Myst

    I’m a longstanding fan of the Myst series. Uru is something I’ve been playing in fits and starts for what seems like forever. It’s got all the usual Myst mind benders in, but wrapped up in a largely free roaming 3D environment, rather than the...

    Darwinia (PC/Mac)

    Aha! I think I’ve got it sussed. There’s going to have to be a bit more sneaking about and sending in engineers (and defending them) *before* annihilating all the virusy things. Makes it a lot tougher, but I *nearly* managed to beat the introductory level

    Darwinia

    It’s ACEBEST! Really nice abstract graphics which, because of their simplicity, really fly on most machines. I’m only on the first world, really, and I think I may have to restart it because I’ve stuffed up b doing some stuff in the wrong order. It’s...

    BBC NEWS | Scotland | Blogging ‘a paedophile’s dream’

    Oh for heaven’s sake. The BBC seem to have crawled down beside the Daily Mail in the gutter. The article linked below, written by an “expert” so misinformed she has the word “Cyberspace” in her department name, is yet another example of the press and...

    Nothing at all

    It’s a larf, innit? The summer holidays are almost upon us – seven weeks the kids get off. There’s no justice. Still, I’m sure they’ll have a great time, scampering about like lunatics. Matthew’s rediscovered the trees in the orchard recently, so he’s been doing...
