The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I don’t, as a rule, blog about music because I listen to so much of it that I’d never get anything else done. This album, though, warrants an entry for its sheer ACENESS. I find that I get so used to bands being unable to match their over-produced studio efforts on the stage that I

ZOMG! It’s the best game EVAR! Well, it’s really good anyway. Basically, it’s an RPG in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem. Except instead of the usual style of turn based combat you play – well – bejewelled. It shouldn’t work, but it really really does. Except, even early on, it’s as

“Polled I/O FTL. You’d think the interrupt had never been designed. Oh. That was really quite geeky, wasn’t it?” “Yes. Yes, it was.”

Well, I found some vikings who were landlocked by a rampaging sea dragon and needed my help in settling it down. So, off I headed to the dragon shrine and turned my whole party into toads to cross a pond and then into mini-mes to get into a stone dragon’s gob. Once in there, I

A bit pretty, isn’t it? This is a two minute walk from where we live. It’s impossible to describe how good it is to be able to just wander off and sit on the grass in the quiet – particularly as we’re living in a fairly built up area. The thing I particularly like is

See, this is just annoying. Why is it that certain types of people just aren’t happy unless they’re busy legislating? One of the nice things about blogs is that you take them as they find them. They’re not ever-so-nice reporters in sharp suits with elegantly styled hair reporting only the bits that make money, it’s

Well, Dracula has me stuck between a rock and a hard place, so while I’m off levelling up and exploring, I’m also picking up Final Fantasy III where I left off. Last time, I ended up getting a mini-me spell and heading off in search of a gnome village – which I promptly found. Due

More on Microsoft’s half-arsed indexing technology. It still accounts for 80% of the bandwidth usage on my site. As a result, I’ve banned the entire search.live.com domain. Hopefully others will follow suit. Inflating peoples bandwidth bills just to try and be like google is just plain rude, if you ask me. So – those of

Well, after an extended period of whacking, Hugh has been taught the error of his ways and the key to Dracula’s room is now in my sweaty grasp. So, I guess now is the time to go around and get all of the items I’ve missed and colour in the rest of the map before

Camilla is out of the way now, and I am the proud owner of a super-jumpy-ability! Hooray! As it happens, through thunderbird summons did the trick without me actually taking any damage :-/ I think it’s fair to say that the bosses are now easier than the normal enemies in the game, due to the
