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…

Travels and (Almost) Total Solar Eclipse

Everything fitted fine, barring an optical drive (it was going to be a streaming video player anyway so not an issue), but the graphics card was too tall…

That’s a fine looking media centre…why doesn’t mine look like that!
Before I begin the post proper, there are just a few things to clear up. Yes, the exams are over, and yes I’m relieved but not yet free from university tyranny. There’s a couple of assignments for the start of the semester, and I really should be working on my CV for the intercalated degree…

Luck is not forthcoming
Before I begin, apologize for my erratic posting, and subsequent lack there of. I’ve been pretty busy lately, and all my free time has either been spent being lazy, playing Skyrim, setting up an HTPC or cooking. Blogging has fallen by the wayside as a result. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any…
