That time I thought I was an app developer

Posted inInternet, ReflectionsNo Comments
I'm getting into 2011 now, and this was the time when I got a Windows Phone and decided I could make apps - even though I had never shown any aptitude for real coding in my life. Sure, I could tweak things here and there on a website, or just about fudge my way through and make something look semi-presentable…

Friday update 15/8/14

I've almost sorted out my new hours at work - less days but roughly the same amount of hours. I know I won't need to look after Flipper until Jane goes back to work but the opportunity to secure the perfect timetable arose, so I took it. Working three full days a week rather than working five short shifts will…

Bejeweled Live

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
OK, so I finally unlocked the last Achievement (that I felt I could realistically achieve) in Bejewelled Live for the Windows Phone today. Thanks to the wonderful website TrueAchievements.com, it appears it took me just under a year to unlock it by smashing one million jewels. I bought the game in April 2013, quickly notched up 155 Gamerscore, hit another…

Google + YouTube

Posted inInternet, Site RelatedNo Comments
The problem I have with Google and YouTube is not that they were once separate entities, but that they have come together and become very confusing. Creating a page for me on Google+ without asking was just the start. For months it was convincing me to use my real name on my youTube channel - something I didn't want to…

601 – A new beginning

I feel that the last post answering questions has helped me massively. I am "Just Doing It". Ticked a load of little jobs off my To-Do list today, and opened the door to ticking off a bunch more tomorrow. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

I’m an asshole

I took great delight in showing people that we had Grand Theft Auto V in stock today - Especially as they cannot buy it until tomorrow. I am an asshole. But I don't care! Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

No longer annoyed

I've got WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress playing nicely now - all that remains is to —SECRET NEW PROJECT— them with —SECRET NEW PROJECT— the —SECRET NEW PROJECT— so the —SECRET NEW PROJECT— and —SECRET NEW PROJECT—. Wish me luck! Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

Annoyed

Posted inInternet, Reflections, Site RelatedNo Comments
I'm annoyed by something that never usually annoys me - WordPress. Or, more specifically, getting WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress to work together. Activate this here, then deactivate it, link to that there but then that doesn't exist - it's like a never ending circle of procedures that I just can't find a way out of.

Surface tension

Surface tension

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Brilliant pun!!! Anyway, before Christmas I was contemplating getting a Surface. You know, that Microsoft tablet. My interest has slowly waned for it though. There are two reasons for this, that combine into one massive reason for not wanting one. The first reason is price, the second reason is schizophrenia. I shall explain. To address the first point, it is…

2012

2012 eh? The Mayans thought the World would end - fucking idiots. Not the Mayans, but the people who misinterpreted their calendar. It was a mixed bag - some good, some bad, but mostly good. I started with the misconception that I could code - what a lol. It was a mixture of getting a new, powerful PC and a…
