    C-C-C-Cardiff Changes

    C-C-C-Cardiff Changes

    No more excuses. It’s time to get back to writing. The question is what should I write about? The excuses? Sounds like a great idea to me! “Mawidge” Almost a month ago I lost the ability to tick the “Single” box on official forms and insurance quotes. Yes, I have been bitten by the marriage…

    Remember that time I went to Cardiff?

    Remember that time I went to Cardiff?

    Remember that time I went to Cardiff? (No, you probably don’t) It wouldn’t be Ordinary Decent Gamer without an apology at the outset. I’ve been remiss in my writing duties. It also wouldn’t be the same without an excuse. I moved country! At the end of July, I bade farewell to my small corner of…

    Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt

    Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt

    Organisation Failure and an Impromptu Shirt Normally my schedule is organised. Orderly. I adopted the Microsoft calendar years ago on Windows Mobile, and migrated to Google calendar which has successfully managed my life for many years. That didn’t prevent me from turning up to work in the most casual of clothes, and moments later receiving…

    Another Hardware Video: the Palit GTX 1060 6 GB

    Another Hardware Video: the Palit GTX 1060 6 GB

    Part of an Ordinary Aggressive Marketing Campaign for my latest video. We’ve been doing some updating of the Newforge Studios hardware recently. The main editing rig is getting on a bit, and packed a Core i5 2500K, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, Radeon HD 5850 graphics card, and a Samsung 840 EVO SSD for a system…

    That’s a Fine Looking Barbecue Pit…I mean keyboard

    That’s a Fine Looking Barbecue Pit…I mean keyboard

    Another day, another Simpsons reference. Things don’t always turn out as planned, or as beautiful as on the front of the box. I had my last scheduled day in clinical medicine on Monday. I was working the Easter Monday holiday, but that didn’t matter too much. It was a momentous occasion. One of my last…

    Food Rebel – Ramen at Bia Rebel

    Food Rebel – Ramen at Bia Rebel

    I’m back in business, once again. My Dell Inspiron 7000 Gaming is making the long trip to Germany via UPS to have a pesky power cutting problem fixed (hopefully). I spent the evening resurrecting my Dell Studio XPS 16 with Windows 10, and finally got round to writing this post.  Time for a food adventure,…

    Reasons Not to Check Your Baggage

    Reasons Not to Check Your Baggage

    “Why not check your baggage?” You’ll get priority boarding, and your bag will go on last so it’ll come off first at the other end. I couldn’t face trying to get a large carry-on into the cabin on a busy flight to London Gatwick, so it seemed like the perfect solution. Surprisingly, this post bears…

    Breaking my own Copyright: Mother’s Day at Lismaine Cottage

    Breaking my own Copyright: Mother’s Day at Lismaine Cottage

    This a a shameless re-post of a blog I wrote for Lismaine Cottage, my parents bed and breakfast establishment, on Mothering Sunday. The reason I want to share it is not just that it gives me something easy to post, but the cake was so damn good. This cake was certainly not a lie. Enjoy!…

    The Satellite Saga: Phase 1

    The Satellite Saga: Phase 1

    I’m off to England to reside for the minimum amount of time to allow us to give notice to marry. Apparently the registry office resides in the dark ages, and being a citizen of the United Kingdom isn’t quite enough to get married there. I’ve just finished a set of nights, and another project. The…

    The Mystery of the Reversing Capslock

    Gather round children and I shall tell you a tale. One of valiant struggles and unexpected twists and turns. And one underscoring the importance of observation. Get ready for the mystery of… The Reversing Capslock It all started innocently enough with a malfunctioning computer. This is not an uncommon occurrence with dad’s computer, and I…
