I demand satisfaction!
Yes, I am now equipped to duel with my new rapier! It’s strange, but I always imagine swords as elegant, light weapons, whereas the reality is that they are heavy monsters. Even the rapier, one of the lightest swords, is hefty enough. I can’t imagine having to fence with it for any amount of time.…

Monies…give me your monies please
Money. It’s not the be all and end all, or the route to happiness, but it certainly is one less burden if you don’t have to worry about it. And on that note it would be helpful if I was actually making some to offset all my erractic expenditures, so here’s a brief plug. As…

Despite what you may believe…It’s still Friday
Hello again, for the second time today. Thankfully I survived the train, and I’m hear to bring you my news, as I watch the engadget show on my media centre (which remains nameless, and is still working well). The week has been busy as usual, but still pretty good. Firefly viewing resumed, and we almost…

Back to porridge…literally
As you may have guessed, the title represents not only the start of the university semester, but also my return to porridge as an alternative to breakfast cereal. It’s all part of my grander scheme to stay off milk as much as possible; which is in turn part of another even grander scheme. But that’s…

Films and what not
I need help! I need to make a film, before I go completely insane. I had all summer and I haven’t made a film yet – all I have is hours of holiday footage, along with some other stuff. So many ideas are swirling around in my head, but it’s getting motivated to actually do…

Busy weekend
I’m back in the game! I was helping dad to film a singer/saxophone player on Friday morning for his promotional video, which was actually pretty good fun. The performer we were filming does swing covers of rock songs and other things, in the style of Paul Anka, and he also plays saxophone mainly for restaraunts/functions.…

The PC building issue!
Hello again! I’m getting into fairly frequent posting schedule, though whether I’ll be able to keep it up is another thing. As promised before, I’ve got the photos of the build process and the computer as it currently stands. It is still giving me some hassle and various teething problems, but hopefully they will be…

Work continues
After all the gutting and cleaning of the amplifier, and several hours tinkering, that idea didn’t work out. The issue was a matter of a centimetre really. Everything fitted fine, barring an optical drive (it was going to be a streaming video player anyway so not an issue), but the graphics card was too tall…

That’s a fine looking media centre…why doesn’t mine look like that!
Before I begin the post proper, there are just a few things to clear up. Yes, the exams are over, and yes I’m relieved but not yet free from university tyranny. There’s a couple of assignments for the start of the semester, and I really should be working on my CV for the intercalated degree…

Luck is not forthcoming
Before I begin, apologize for my erratic posting, and subsequent lack there of. I’ve been pretty busy lately, and all my free time has either been spent being lazy, playing Skyrim, setting up an HTPC or cooking. Blogging has fallen by the wayside as a result. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any…
