Not at all faster and still with terrible wifi range

By Iain 10 January 2014Internet, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

The title just about sums up the new modem. I won't take a picture of the speed test as I can't be bothered to make one - you'll just have to take my word for it. The technician left without setting it up or telling us what any of the usernames and/or passwords were as well, which meant a half-hour…

2014 fitness and other random targets

By Iain 1 January 2014Books, Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site RelatedNo Comments

I need a new routine. If the start of a new year spurs that change, then so be it. I can understand that some people don't like those people that make "resolutions", but I'm all for them to do so - if making a resolution makes that person sit up and admit they have a problem they'd like to fix,…

Goodbye 2013

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

Fry-up Daydate 13/12/13

As if it was not clear from the above title, I'm quickly running out of ways to combine the words "Friday" and "Update" in creative ways. Ooh, it's Friday the 13th - scary? I did kind of get really ill really suddenly last night whilst playing the RGF. I was up 'til 3am playing Hyperpath, which in itself, wouldn't be…

Friday Update 6/12/13

By Iain 6 December 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I wasn't going to do an update this week, as I usually do them on a Thursday night after work and post them early Friday morning, or schedule them for early Friday morning if I fancy an early night, but after the day I had, I was not in the mood to write anything. It's Christmas in retail yet again,…

Friday Update 29/11/13

Let's start with work. I suffer from dry skin on my fingertips (of all places), and if I handle a lot of stock then the skin does tend to crack. I cracked my fingers at work on Sunday - not a good way to start a working week for sure. They usually end up cracked by Wednesday or Thursday, but…

Frupdate 15/11/13

Friday again. randomfury.co.uk has seen a little bit of activity, with my thoughts on the upcoming Halo for Xbox One. What I would like to see, ideas I've had, my theories on why there's not a five in sight... That kind of stuff. The Random Game Friday this week featured a platform game inside a puzzle game. I've been playing…

Friday update 8/11/13

By Iain 8 November 2013Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

I think I'll try having one definite update of all that is happening in my life once a week for a little bit, see how it goes. Sure, there may be more posts some weeks, but if I know I have to do at least one per week, without fail, then I may feel a little freer with the rest…

So here’s the plan for the main site

By Iain 27 October 2013Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

In terms of what is going to happen to this blog - it'll pretty much stay the same. Personal stuff will continue to be exclusively posted here, whereas videogame stuff will also on the main RF blog in a cross-posting fashion. As for the forum - It's important to me that the integration stuff happens - I have realised that…
