What have I been doing? Well, loads as it happens. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather so have taken the opportunity to have a couple of hours on the DS. With Magical Starsign being completely stylus driven, it means I can play it one handed with the DS resting on a surface which

After years of running Gnome at home and KDE at work, I’ve finally done a switcheroo and changed my home desktop. With version 3.5.5 (what I’m running with Ubuntu Edgy), it’s finally getting to be rather a nice desktop environment. As it comes, it can be a bit sluggish at times, but turning down the

Just spotted this story on UK resistance – apparently, Game are so desperate to sell at least one PS3 on launch day that they’re, well, making things up. Read for yourself: Game’s mind-control experiments.

This is George, at work. Eight (count-em) 2.8GHz CPUs (not counting the three machines at the top), Forty Gigabytes of RAM, an 8 Gigabyte Solid State Disk (for the logs) and an insanely huge RAID-10 disk array at the bottom, attached via a dedicated fibre channel switch. All to run a database. On Windows. It’s

So, I was having a look through my web activity stats (as you do) to see why I’d had a sudden upsurge in traffic over the past few weeks. Imagine my complete surprise to discover that it’s because Microsoft are crap programmers! Who knew? So, my site – being largely content based – tends to

This one has been sitting taunting me from my game case for months. So, a pre-FFIII break from Castlevania is required, and a light-hearted RPG is just what the doctor ordered. I’m actually very pleasantly surprised at how much fun this one is – it’s pretty lightweight as RPGs go – imagine Mario and Luigi

Did I mention the abiding hatred I have for medusa heads? No? Well, I have this abiding hatred, right? And it’s for medusa heads. Particularly the ones that hang about in the machine tower in this game. That keep resulting in you being knocked to the very fecking bottom of the tower Every. Single. Time.

ZOMG! (for the second time today). I’ve just had a look at the manual and seen the available jobs! I’m not sure I’m ready for something the sheer girth of FFIII after finishing so many short ‘n sweet Castlevania action-platformers. I think the best way to go is probably to continue ambling through Circle of
