The new RF is stop!

There were just too many unforeseen issues. While I love the idea of having a forum and a blog working together with one unified log-in, there are just too many basic things you can't do in Word/BB/BuddyPress, which I discovered far too late into the process. It was my own fault for assuming. And along with theming issues that the…

I've felt like proper shit for the last few days - I have this viral thing affecting my upper respiratory tract - Paraflu, Jane says. She's smart like that, knows all the names of the diseases and stuff. All I know is that I've barely slept for the past couple of nights because my throat is so sore, and I've…

Cats

Posted inCreativity, ReflectionsNo Comments
I am currently watching loads of "Cats" videos on YouTube. Not videos of cats, you understand, but videos of the musical production Cats. Why? Because I'm doing a canvas for my little niece who is obsessed with Cats. I'm trying to get a feel for this Mr. Mistoffelees dude's attitude and mannerisms, work out his signature pose. So far all…

I feel that the last post answering questions has helped me massively. I am "Just Doing It". Ticked a load of little jobs off my To-Do list today, and opened the door to ticking off a bunch more tomorrow. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

600th post spectacular – Questions galore

Posted inBooks, Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Ok, so the numbers say that this will be post number 600. I feel like I want to do something special for it, and after having a little think, I remembered that I’m currently reading a book on my Nexus called “Be creative” by Infinite Ideas – it was free and has so far given me a few decent tips. In one chapter it had a list of questions you should ask of yourself in order to understand yourself, because how often do you actually stop and question things?

So, here we are with the questions and answers. I endeavoured to be as brutally honest as I could be and I gave each question a lot of thought. I ended up spraying my thought process on to the page as I was typing, and I did repeat myself a little, so be warned!

WARNING!!! VERY LONG POST!!!

This post is going to have the most tags ever.

So when we first moved in together back in 2009, he was this good at drawing: Yeah, I used to let him watch me play Halo 3: ODST, so what. He started in year 7 this September. We've been drawing this Zinogre from Monster Hunter for a couple of hours a night for the past few weekends and we finally…

The Xbox 360 brought all kinds of neat touches to consoles, one of them being robust online leaderboards. They were by no means the first stab at global high-score tables, but most games offered different leaderboards per level/mission or track, per difficulty, some ranked by score, some by time, some by how few times you died. My question is: Have…

Karl and Hannah came to visit us in the Summer. During their visit, I said to Karl that I've not taken an active role in promoting Random Fury for a long time, to which he replied "Maybe you should". This is me taking an active hand again. The website, randomfury.co.uk, will soon be transformed. Our existing phpBB forum will be…
