New PC wins again

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I was never totally enamoured with the Kodak Easyshare software that came with my digital camera, and I never got around to installing it on my new PC. Still, I just plugged the camera in, and Windows Explorer fucking killed it. In a good way, I mean. Copied all the photos over, named them nicely, and it was just generally…

There's the obvious things, like having two fully functional arms, two fully functional legs and a brain that works. I don't have any disfigurements, rashes or massive facial moles. I'm not socially disfunctional (while at the same time, I'm not exactly a social buttefly, but a happy medium), and I'm not completely unattractive. Then there's the less obvious things. Money…

Working too much

I don't like it. I mean, the money is good (weddings don't pay for themselves), but I'd much rather be developing. I can't motivate myself to just pop on the PC for an hour or two, as it just wouldn't be productive. I've recently changed my contracted hours so that i had three days off in a row, but the…

It's spanking, and I can finally start realising the memory-intensive dream of developing WP7 apps and designing styles for phpBB and stuff. Seriously, our old PC just could not…

I guess most of the announcements and big reveals have been made by now, so it's safe for me to write up my thoughts on the event. I usually don't bother with E3, but I had a bit of time on my hands this year, mostly because Jane was in Newcastle, so I sat at the PC looking at new…

Essential Charts Q1/Q2 2005

Posted inInternet, VideogamesNo Comments

For the first and second quarters of 2005, I quite possibly overstretched myself and made the charts too unwieldy to continue. As well as PS2, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PC and Xbox games, I also included several retro consoles such as the Sega Saturn and the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Here are the bloated results.
