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 midweek update thing may not have been the best idea in the world, as it has upset my posting by more than a week, but I’m working on it! This week has been pretty intense, and I’ve been working on a few presentations and other projects; not to mention keeping up my Breaking Bad…

  • Midweek Update!

    Shock horror! A midweek update. I’m still sorting out this posting frequency deal, so bear with me. Monday was equipment night at the camera club, which is usually a display of the same cameras every year, but this time was different. Some of the older generation have now made the transition from miniDV tape to…

  • The Phone Malfunction

    I completely forgot about my Argos ordeal when I was writing last night, but now I will tell you a tale. A tale of phone repairs at Argos, and false replacements and so on. I first got my Orange San Francisco back in March of this year, to replace my i-mate Ultimate 8502 (still running…
