It’s hard to bear
Posted on April 27, 2008 | 2 CommentsWell, the barbeque is on for the third night in a row. Cajun chicken, this time (with a couple of snags on the side). The weather’s been lovely for the last couple of days, despite what the weathermen keep trying to tell me. What I... -
Geeky Discourse
Posted on April 25, 2008 | No CommentsI had a very geeky conversation with the strangest of people last night. I had gone to pick up my oldest lad from Scouts and was standing speaking to him, one of the Scout leaders, and the Scout leader’s daughter. The Scout leader is a... -
Ha!
Posted on April 24, 2008 | 1 CommentdeKay thinks he’s being clever by running a spectrum emulator under wine on Mac OSX. Except he’s not being clever at all, because my dashboard widget STILL wins. -
Mac Envy
Posted on April 22, 2008 | 2 CommentsMy lovely lady wife has Mac Envy. It’s a terrible thing to see. She was wrestling with MS Office this morning and was practically turning purple. So, I’ve been commanded to “Get Her A Mac”. Thing is, we’ve been stuck with the PeeCee for over... -

Posted on April 11, 2008 | No CommentsThis post has been a long time in the making. Cast your mind back to 2006 – we were an entirely Apple household, with no sign of a nasty PC. Then came the house-moving, the shipping to the other side of the world, the whole... -
The Strange Affair of the Cursed Pot Plant
Posted on April 8, 2008 | No CommentsSo, my mammie bought us this hyacinth in a pot. It’s very very pretty but smells like dead things. It was sitting on the kitchen window sill and every time anyone walked past it they made a comment about the unnatural reek emanating from it.... -
Mystery Dungeon – Shiren the Wanderer
Posted on April 6, 2008 | 2 CommentsThis is probably the best game I’ve played on the DS to date, but it would have worked just as well on the GBA. In fact, given that I’ve been happily playing this game in rogue/hack/nethack/angband/zangband form for near enough twenty years, I’m pretty sure... -
Zangband (PC)
Posted on April 5, 2008 | No CommentsYet another embarrassing death, or “Why it’s important to research your class”. Ok, so a new character, level two, rummaging around in the first level of the dungeon. Suddenley I’m hungry. Oh dear, think I, I’ve been too busy playing with the magic system and... -

Posted on April 2, 2008 | No CommentsThump the Warrior, at level 17, has just been killed. By an insect swarm. I’m going to cry now.
