I own a car

By Iain May 27, 2021The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

So this is one of the final steps in my last action plan - buying a car. All that's left to do on the old plan is pass tests and become legally able to drive the car I've just bought. The new plan is more about consolidating things, and streamlining processes. One post on here a week as a general…

Taking another year off

By Iain September 16, 2020Reflections, The MissionNo Comments

I'm finding myself in that situation again this academic year, mainly thanks to coronavirus this time around rather than financial worries. But this time, I can see it coming, and I won't lose focus. I won't waste this year. I've got things I need to do to be ready for starting the level 4 counselling course next September. See, after…

So I took a year off, from everything

By Iain September 9, 2019Creativity, Reflections, Site Related, The Mission, VideogamesNo Comments

I mean, it was mostly not through choice. We needed to make sure we would make it through the year financially. Sure, an exotic cat was added to the family in 2019, but other than that, we were careful. Frugal. Thing is, I got lazy and complacent. I found the smallest possible reason to take a year off from personal…

Destiny and the Iron Banner

By Iain May 12, 2016Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So, Destiny then. I've been fairly addicted to it for the past few months, and the Iron Banner has been one of my favourite aspects - I look forward to it rolling around every month. I can't put my finger on exactly why I like the week of Iron Banner so much to be honest. Is it because it is…

Timely Friday update

By Iain October 17, 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Hey, I'm going to do a Friday update on a Friday for a change! I'm in the front room watching Jake while he sleeps rather than writing it in my study as usual, using my video-recoding laptop rather than the familiar keyboard on the main PC... I've never used this keyboard to type before, so I keep missing letters and…

Missed the update window again…

By Iain October 13, 2014Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So here is an update on a Monday. I went back to work yesterday, which wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. Well, the department was a mess, but it wasn't so bad as to drive me insane. I've started tinkering with Sony Vegas, finally editing this Super Time Force video I've been banging on about since the first RFTV…

I get it now

By Iain September 19, 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I understand why parents post so much about their kids - because to them, their kids are awesome. I ignored their posts mainly because they were not my kids, and I had no vested interest in them. It would appear that now I have a child of my own, one that I have a vested interest in, I want to…

A new approach to updates

By Iain September 12, 2014Music, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

Friday update 1/8/14

By Iain August 1, 2014Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Wow, August already? Crazy times. We went and saw our midwife this week - baby is doing fine, and has turned so the head is pointing downward! They are so very nearly ready to join us, it's quite exciting. I took a photo of Jane earlier, and she didn't quite realise how large the bump was! From her perspective it…
