2014 in review

Posted inSite Related, The MissionNo Comments
I'm just making little summaries of the posts as I transfer them across to this blog from my old one, paying attention to key moments and looking out for the overarching themes. I knew something had to give. The first few posts of 2014 concerned the targets I was setting for myself. This one was interesting: For too long I…

FRIDAY UPDATE ON A FRIDAY YEAH

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Well, this is novel. It's Friday and here is an update on a Friday. Well I never. So, what have I been doing? Not a lot. Just working at le Asda and chilling at home with Jane and Jake. They are both super awesome. Today we went to the new Sainsbury's that has just opened here in Waterlooville and it…

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.

A new approach to updates

Posted inMusic, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

Musings

I'm just sitting here on a sunny Saturday afternoon, at the PC with a green tea and a couple of biscuits, editing the next series of Sonic games (Sonic 2, for those of you who care), thinking to myself that I've not really written anything that wasn't a Friday update on here in a while. I started doing Friday updates…
