Oh my, has it really been that long since my last post? That really is very bad of me, especially considering I could've knocked up a few smaller update posts on my phone during a lunchbreak at work or something. I've been in some pretty dark places between then and now, and I never feel like writing when I'm having…

Friday update 1/8/14

Wow, August already? Crazy times. We went and saw our midwife this week - baby is doing fine, and has turned so the head is pointing downward! They are so very nearly ready to join us, it's quite exciting. I took a photo of Jane earlier, and she didn't quite realise how large the bump was! From her perspective it…

Musings

By Iain 19 July 2014Internet, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

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…

Friday update 4/4/14

We went to see our Midwife in the week and we listened to Flipper's heart-beat. It was so fast! An amazing experience, for sure. Jane is fine - she seems to be pretty much back to her normal self now, she's over the morning sickness and the general aches and pains. I wanna try and get the website moved over…

Friday Update 7/3/14

Hello again, it's Friday, and that means it's update time! Jane and baby are well - we went to Toys R Us one day last week to look at prams/pushchairs/buggies - so many different styles! I think we've decided on the one we're going to go for, it may be a little pricey but we've done our sums and worked…

2014 fitness and other random targets

By Iain 1 January 2014Books, Creativity, Internet, Reflections, Site RelatedNo Comments

I need a new routine. If the start of a new year spurs that change, then so be it. I can understand that some people don't like those people that make "resolutions", but I'm all for them to do so - if making a resolution makes that person sit up and admit they have a problem they'd like to fix,…

Goodbye 2013

By Iain 31 December 2013Books, Creativity, Films/TV, Internet, Music, Reflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

So what happened in 2013 then? It was another mixed bag. The best thing ever happened: I stopped smoking. And I don't even miss it. I'm not suffering from some black depression because I'm holding myself back from smoking my precious cigarettes, I'm not deluding myself by switching to an eCigarette, I'm not counting down the hours until I can…

So here’s the plan for the main site

By Iain 27 October 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…

600th post spectacular – Questions galore

By Iain 9 October 2013Books, 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.
