Barrel Aged – the Newforge Studios 2024 Halloween Film
Just a short one this time at the spookiest point in the year. Happy Halloween! Sit down by the fire and sip on some fine Barrel Aged.

Any Port(o) in a Storm – Port 1
That should be Part 1, perhaps after too much port. I spent a few days in Porto visiting a laboratory for a digital pathology workshop. Of course, I couldn’t come this far and not spend a bit of time exploring the city on the Douro. Plane. Train. Automobile. And bus. That’s how you get to…

On the Edit
Shelving the Desktop? Due to an “internal technical issue”, my Alienware desktop order was cancelled. I had planned on re-ordering it but was reliably informed by my Intel-insider that the 15th generation of Intel CPUs was due to launch within the next month so it might be worth holding off. So that’s exactly what I…

Behind the Scenes of Newforge Studios’ 2024 Halloween Film (Kind of)
Yes, it’s that time of year again as we creep ever closer to the Spooky Season! And like most other years (barring 2019), there will be a Newforge Studios Halloween film. We shot on location at the Walkhampton Inn last sunday which, whilst a great location, brought a raft of other challenges. Working between guests…

I Fix Things
Or at least I’d like to… Half a week in Southampton and a failed platelet donation later, and I’m left with little energy to write. Time for a throw back list! I was heartened to read a recent comment that someone had fixed their sewing machine off the back of a post I wrote a…

A Barbican Brunch
The title says it all. We were down in the city centre of Plymouth several times over the weekend for Seafest-related events (and Toddler Club at Everyman, of course). On Saturday after the cinema we had a quick walk through the stalls on display at Royal William Yard and got to try some circus equipment…

Gaming and Camping (Gamping?)
When you feel like doing nothing else, there are always games to comfort you. Being ill isn’t fun, but games are. Mostly. The fun ones, at least. I’ve gotten back into Horizon Forbidden West, a game I have had on the go for a long time now. It’s a densely packed experience and one I…

Burgers, Camping, and Camp Survival Horror?
Camping? In the UK? Is that wise? This one will be shorter by necessity as I’m writing on a phone rather than a proper computer. We’re outside of Lyme Regis in a rather quaint campsite overlooking some beautiful countryside. Bucking the trend for campsites, we also have 4G reception. The Polestar 2 capacity has been…

Metal Shed Solid
Shed, what’s happening? Shed? Shed?! Sheeeeddddd!!! The base is complete! It was in the last issue, and it remains complete. Things have finally moved on with the rest of the build. I started laying out the base panels for a dry run to make sure they were well positioned. On reflection I would have extended…

Shed Loads of Progress?
Shed-gate? Water-shed? It’s not really a scandal, but it is taking a while. Why not have a coffee while you wait? Since getting the bean-to-cup machine I’ve been giving latte art more of a go. The old coffee machine took quite an age to steam milk given its tiny boiler, but it’s a breeze with…
