Where have all the people gone?

By Iain 10 November 2014ReflectionsNo Comments

I was thinking this to myself late last week when a man asked me where he could get a reasonably obscure piece of cabling for his A/V equipment. There used to be a couple of shops in the local area that would have been able to conjure up this bit of cable for him in minutes. Maybe even custom made…

It’s not Friday and this is not on time

By Iain 28 October 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

Until I pull my finger out, there's only so much variation you're going to get in these updates to be honest. Jake gets bigger and more attentive. I do more than my fair share at work. "No YouTube stuff this week, sorry!". Hmmmm. I did actually do a video this week. Or was it the week before? And it wasn't…

Timely Friday update

By Iain 17 October 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 13 October 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…

Fatherhood is very distracting

Yeah, so, I missed the Friday update last week. Not that it really matters - not much happened - we went shopping and bought some baby bits and pieces, and basically spent time looking after Jake. YouTube has dried up, RGF has dried up, there are two more VGMRotW scheduled and a few on the waiting list after that (thanks…

That went too quick

That did not seem like a week since the last update. Not at all. But hey, I guess that is the danger now, isn't it? Time will fly. Thing is - I didn't really do much! I got into these Lego Mixels recently - we were selling them at Asda for £1.47 each, so for less than a fiver I…

I get it now

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…

Jake Michael John Stewart

Well that was a day and a half. Accidentally woke Jane up at 5:20 when I got up because I had a sore back, she then realised she was having contractions, so we went to hospital, and she gave birth to a little boy who weighed 7lb 10 at 11:25. We called him Jake. Here is a picture of our…

Friday update 5/9/14

By Iain 5 September 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

September. September already. So, Monday was a bit scary. We took Gizmo to the vets in the morning (he's breathing very heavily at the moment), found out he could either have something in his lungs or he simply has a chest infection. Jane didn't sleep very well the night before (she had a weird kind of bad headache which defies…

Friday update 29/8/14

By Iain 29 August 2014Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

So ready for Flipper to appear now. I just can't wait to meet the little guy/gal - and I can't wait for Jane to be able to rest properly again. It's not that she's been miserable or grumpy because of the baby cramping her style - I just feel it's been long enough now, she deserves her body back. Two…
