Just write something so they know you’re still alive

By Iain 7 July 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Hi, still alive. The fitness targets I made are not going terribly well - I seem to have developed a monster appetite since stopping smoking, I'm really enjoying my food at the moment. Just need to tone it down a little, have some resolve. I've got a reasonably long to-do list, and not enough motivation to get me through it…

Xbox One

By Iain 16 June 2013Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Upon completion of that last post, I have realised that I've not addressed the Xbox One on here yet. I can kinda see where they are coming from with the extra functions and all, but I think they have misunderstood it. Nowadays people can get games on devices that can also do loads of other things, but never have I…

Vista Pro

By Iain 7 April 2013Creativity, Internet, ReviewsNo Comments

Now, this is new for me, doing a review of software. I remember using Vista on my trusty old Commodore Amiga 500, waiting half an hour for an image to render, then discovering a tree in the middle of the picture. I remember using it on my souped up Amiga 1200, bumping up the detail settings and resolution, and waiting…

Confidence+5

By Iain 7 April 2013Creativity, Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

So I recently posted my latest picture on DeviantArt and then on Facebook, and the feedback has been amazing, it's given me a real boost in creative confidence. To say I'm proud of it is an understatement - it's without a doubt the greatest piece of art I have ever created - and the only time I've not fallen short…

Disconnected

By Iain 5 April 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've just posted this on the forum - it's pretty self-explanatory. I feel a little disconnected from you guys. Work/Uni/travelling/moving abroad has happened, and for whatever reasons, we've all drifted away from the forum a little. How are you? How's things? Is your life turning out how you'd hoped? I'm good, married now, plodding along at Asda but I've got…

Facebook update #2

By Iain 1 March 2013Creativity, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So, it's been a week, roughly, and I'm up to 175. Three quarters of my stupid random personal challenge completed. Other than that, I've not really been up to much. The Batman canvas is pretty much finished - keeping to my personal target of creating one "finished" piece of art a month. I feel that something has got to give…

Facebook update

By Iain 25 February 2013Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

After only a few days I'm up to 147, and those were just the blindingly obvious ones. As I said, I never add anyone, I always let them come to me, but there are people who I like and respect but am strangely not "friends" with on Facebook. I didn't keep track of exactly how many invites I sent out,…

It’s been a while

By Iain 22 February 2013Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

This is the longest I've left making a post for a long time. Nothing interesting has really happened to be honest. I've made a canvas for a work-friend, and nearly finished another one for some other friends, convinced Jane to make some progress on her fiction (specifically, The Famous Yiberdeedo), watched some films that I don't really feel the need…

Creative targets

By Iain 31 January 2013Creativity, Internet, Music, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

As I am a loyal subscriber to ImagineFX, issue number 93 popped through my letter box the other day. One of the first articles was about setting yourself goals. How they can motivate you, boost your confidence, and also keep you within the realms of reality: There is a difference between goals and fantasies. I am going to set some…

2012

By Iain 30 December 2012Creativity, Internet, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…
