Thursday: Visit possible wedding location. Friday: App development. Saturday: App development. Sunday: App development. Monday: App development. Tuesday: App development. It's going to go so quickly, but I'll try to get…

New PC is epic

Posted inInternet, Music, Reflections, Site RelatedNo Comments
It's just so fast and lovely and Windows 7 is amazing. All I needed to do was plug things into it and it'd go "Alright then, start using the thing you just plugged in". A far cry from the old PC which needed to be configured here, there and everywhere, and have it's hand held all along the way. I've…

Again. Mum just phoned to let me know that Jasmine's little brother has arrived. No name or weight yet, but hey, he's well. So happy for David and Katie right now! Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

It’s Christmas?

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
It is! It's really snuck up on me this year, it's Christmas Eve Eve already. Doing the late shifts didn't help, I feel like I've lost a day somewhere this week. I'm beginning to get in the spirit, looking at the decorations in the house. I got my first Christmas present today - Jane got me a .net magazine subscription…

The old one was beta

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I wish I could blog about the new Xbox 360 dashboard right now. I got onto the beta programme last month, but now I'm kinda wishing I hadn't. It needs to update at least twice a week, and I've still not got used to the new layout. Ah well, everyone will have it soon, so we'll all be in the…

Typing and waffling

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Looks like Wednesday is becoming my new update day. Due to the days I work, Monday has been designated "rest day" - coming off four days of work is quite tiring. I feel more perky and talkative on a Wednesday though, I'm more likely to want to do things like type and waffle. My phone is now 100% Mangoed up,…

Mango’d: Part 2

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
I've finally gotten around to updating my Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 7.5 (codename: Mango), only a month after it came out... Why have I not updated sooner? I got the notification that the update was available for my phone about a week ago... What's been eating at my time? Batman: Arkham City. Such a good game, so empowering.…

Space Channel 5

Oh... They are releasing Space Channel 5: Part 2 on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow. I picked it up as part of the Dreamcast collection (along with Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi and Sega Bass Fishing - three games I will never play) months ago and resolved to finish it before it was released on XBLA. Oh well! Posted from WordPress for…

Mango’d

Posted inInternet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Although the thing is, I've not been Mango'd. I'm just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update onto my phone, but all I'm getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I'll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up "An update for your phone is ready", then I shouldn't have…
