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

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

Wednesdays are interesting. Expecially around lunchtime. By the time you’re reached lunchtime, you’ve kinda dragged yourself up the hump of the week and are teetering on the summit seeing the vast expanse of Thursday and Friday zooming away at your feet toward the weekend. So, without further ado, we should let out a cry of

Watched the final episode of Buffy season 1 and the first of season 2 on DVD last night. Have a bit of an early Buff rennaisance, but then why not. I’m in the middle of organising things for the impending shift of the llamasoft website from Dowcarter to Black Cat Networks. It’ll be good 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

Back at work today, and God am I cold. The machine room in which I sit isn’t heated, it’s cooled. Basically, the three cabinets full of servers chuck out a lot of heat, and the cooling system kicks in if the temperature gets above about 20 degrees. Except, it’s currently -2 outside. Gaaaaaah. I need

Gaaaaaaaah. Back at work today. I think we must be the only company in Scotland that’s actually open for business. Drove down the Mound (beside the Castle) at 8:45 and stopped at the traffic lights in Princes Street. Not another car in sight – the town is absolutely deserted. I don’t actually have very much

The christmas rush panic and madness is over, thank God, so life can return to some semblance of normality. Tristan and Matthew are currently gubbing each other with death-rays in Godzilla: Destroy all Monsters. Makes a change from them arguing in real life, I suppose. Don’t know what it is about brothers (never having had

and I have two very excited little boys. Harmony Constance isn’t particularly bothered (being a mere two years old) but Tristan and Matthew are getting a little, err, hyper. I love this time of year – the whole period makes sense once you have children to share it with, although a visit to the shops

If all the sponges were taken out of the ocean, how much deeper would it be?
