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
There are plenty of reasons to holiday in the Catalan capital. Sangria. Tapas. Gaudi. Xocolate. Our summer holiday was a re-do of last years washed out trip to Barcelona. Surely it couldn’t rain the entire time in August? Thankfully this time we only got an hour or so over the duration of the holiday. X…

This time I had my eyes set on a different prize. I started digging a bed in Sarah’s parents’ garden a few weeks ago, not fully…

Ordinary Decent Gamer Returns…again
This post marks the end of the unofficial hiatus. I had an exam on Monday, so everything was dropped while I hit the books. Or perhaps more accurately, the RCPath cancer datasets. For those of you not pathologically acquainted, the datasets are essentially manuals explaining how to handle specimens from all the main cancer types,…

It’s Valen-time for Another Post
Valentine’s Day has come and gone for another year, and I spent it in the company of Adobe Premiere Pro, and an old friend. I am of course referring to Jessica 17, a film which was rivalling Duke Nukem Forever in the category of time spent as vapourware. The Story of a Troubled Teen Jessica…
