Tum te tum. Ever have one of those indescribably bad fortnights at work? Rubbish, aren’t they? The company I work for is in the gruesome throes of acquiring another, meaning we have to punt all their sites across to our servers. Trouble is, the new company host on Windows 2000 and we host on UNIX.

Animal Crossing is truly addictive. There is something endearing about all the little characters. You say – OK, Ill just pop in to check my mail – then suddenly you look at your watch and youve been there for an hour. You have to speak to all your friends or else they go in the

We were having a rummage around on Ebay (no, we haven’t learned from the Ducky adventure) and stumbled across a guy who deals in Terrapi slavery 🙁 He keeps all kinds of Terrapis in captivity, to sell as collectors items and they never get played with or cuddled or anything. Anyway, while looking through the

Well, truth be told, I was back at work yesterday but it was a bit mad. One of the boxes in a cluster that we host decided to go a bit nuts and had to be resucitated. Problem is, the beggar is hosted at the other end of the country, so it all had to

Well, after a fortnight of unseasonably warm weather, we finally had the mother of all thunderstorms last night. And just in time, too – the earth was like dust. Having Scotland bathed in sunshine for two weeks in the middle of April is not natural. My mother and father are just back from a trip

Eep! It’s been horrendously busy! Well, kinda. Spent a lot of time faffing about in the garden, doing some planting and tending, drinking beer, and so on. Picked up Zelda: Wind Waker and Super Monkey Ball 2 to review for Boomtown and managed to finally get the Sims review written. Gahhh. Zelda is simply the

Well, I’m on holiday this week. It’s yummy 🙂 Been scuffing about in the garden, playing games, doing all the life stuff that work gets in the way of. Anyway, during the week (so far) Debbie and I have noted an inexplicable increase in the amount of big white vans in the street. Also, Debbie
