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

  • Isle Trotting

    This be a holding post…be ye warned Waterford I popped across the Irish Sea to do some work in Waterford last weekend. The flight was delayed and we ended up being the airport stragglers, left stranded almost an hour after the rest of the occupants had vacated. It isn’t the most comfortable place to be…

  • Madeira (Escaping the Rain)

    Trying to cope with the British weather? Why bother. Just leave already. That was our approach over half term. Why stick it out when you can leave for sunnier climes. I believe the upper classes refer to it as “over-wintering”, but five days away hardly a season makes. Geography lesson. You may think that Madeira…

  • Once More with Gusto (and Games)

    This is the usual pivot-post. Ease you in with some games, teach you how to bake, and finish up with some light food criticism. Bon appétit It (still) Takes Two? Yes, we are still playing It Takes Two. It also takes enough time that we’ve got plenty more to play. I have been slightly side-tracked…

My research project presentation is on Tuesday, and after that I get…

  • Blackmagic, and other fantastical things…just kidding

    A break! It feels like it has been so long since I have had a proper holiday, one without anything to do, and this holiday is no different from others. There are many things to do and so little time to do them. And that isn’t including coursework. Essays, papers, presentations and more await me…

  • The 3rd PC Building Issue – The Drawputer!

    I might have posted sooner, had I not been involved in the greatest project this year (for me anyway). I finally have a workspace to call my own. It is still needs some finishing touches, but it is damn exciting. Over the last few months I’ve been working on coin rings, but without a bench.…
