If gaming isn’t a part of your life, you’re doing it wrong.

  • Walls, Fletchers, and Games

    The Wall Building will Continue until Morale Improves Yes, I have brutalised myself, but all in the name of progress. The wall has come together quite quickly. Is it perfect? Far from it, but it hasn’t fallen down yet and doesn’t look horrendous. It is a long overdue project as I hated the old pseudo-brick…

  • Split Slate and Fiction

    A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

  • Reading on a Deadline

    Because what better way is there to relax than a threat of impending confiscation… The Library No, I’m not talking about your Steam Library. Or your PlayStation catalogue. We are discussing brick-and-mortar (and sometimes chassis in the case of vans) libraries. I have an on-again, off-again relationship with the library system. It was a convenient…

The story so far – I was discussing blogs with my friend, who had expressed interest in writing a tech blog, which got me thinking about…

  • Recovery

    It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

  • Sleeping Rough

    The title really says it all. Along with some friends, I’m sleeping rough in front of Belfast city hall, all in aid of raising homelessness awareness. It’s organised by Homed Belfast, and queen’s students are out in droves to support the cause. Let me tell you, it is pretty damn cold out here, and it…
