Week 24 – 2025

By Iain June 15, 2025Weekly UpdatesNo Comments

09-06-2025 I took the weekend off of from thinking about moving over to Obsidian, and I think it helped. I slept a lot, and I've come back with back with fresh thinking. I'm working on organisation, and keeping connected things connected. 10-06-2025 Today I wrote my weekly progress post on my blog, but I'm wondering if it would be better…

Rangers are champions!

By Iain March 8, 2021Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Well, I knew it would happen eventually. I last wrote about football here: https://iaindstewart.net/blog/2012/08/17/football/, and in that post I explained how Rangers got demoted from the top league in Scottish football to the lowest league because of financial irregularities, but that I was confident they would make it back to the top flight soon enough. Sure enough, they made it…

L2CiCS: Reflective Diary – 7th March 2018

By Iain March 7, 2018Qualifications courseworkNo Comments

This week in class we explored endings in counselling. We were asked to reflect on how we feel about endings, and what kind of effects they have on us. Some endings I like. These are usually situations or people or problems that are causing me emotional pain. No-one likes pain. Making the pain stop is nice. Some endings I do…

L2CiCS: Learning Log – 1st November 2017

This week we explored prejudices further with two questions. The first is: Why do we judge? Judging can be seen, at its most basic level, as a survival mechanism. It allows people to quickly gain a working understanding of new situations and new people. It highlights any physical or abstract differences in someone or something in the judging person’s mind,…

So here’s the plan for the main site

By Iain October 27, 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…

Football!

By Iain August 17, 2012Films/TV, Music, ReflectionsNo Comments

I don't usually talk about football (I think the last time I did, it was about football shirts), but the new season is almost upon us and it looks to be an interesting one. I follow a few teams, for a variety of reasons. Rangers (because of the family ties), Southampton (because I used to live there but now live…

MGM – Typing in names for hours on end

By Iain August 24, 2010VideogamesNo Comments

Sensible World Of Soccer on the Amiga provided me with hours of entertainment. Most of them not actually playing the game, but updating the rosters of the various football clubs, and editing the fictional teams with themes of my own choosing. A lot of time was also spent brainlessly clicking the fire button through the Career mode, "managing" an amazing…

Always late to the party

By Iain July 4, 2010Internet, ReflectionsNo Comments

This week I signed up to Twitter (about a year and a half after everyone else in the entire fucking world, but there you go). It's been great so far, and thanks to me being quite selective about who I follow, it's not been entirely full of inane, pointless chatter. Initially I signed up in the hope that it would…

About that post I made about the football

By Iain July 1, 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Re: Football's going home. Turns out everyone hasn't blamed it on the disallowed Lampard effort, rather they have actually realised that England played very poorly! Common sense prevails for once. On a related football note, some teams I follow have recently announced new kits and they are lovely. The Glasgow Rangers new one is so simple, but it's striking and…

Football’s Going Home

By Iain June 27, 2010Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Just watched England crash out of the World Cup - hilarious stuff (I'm Scottish). Let 2010 be forever remembered as the time England would have won the World Cup had the Officials seen that Frank Lampard's effort had crossed the line. You know, just like they would've won the World Cup in 2006 had Rooney not been sent off, and…
