Ready Player One

Posted inBooks, ReviewsNo Comments
By Ernest Cline The story is set in a not so typical apocalyptic future, brought about by man's excess. There are no robots or zombies or aliens, just hunger, poverty and desperation. People escape this bleakness by logging into OASIS. In broad terms, it's a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game, with emphasis on the Massive. You can do anything you…

Ten days off – Zero progress

Posted inSite RelatedNo Comments
Well, not exactly zero - I did figure out some basic stuff and I got more familiar with the WP7 development environment, but overall, I didn't really get much done. I really need to buckle down and get on with it, or it won't happen. Posted from WordPress for Windows Phone

An old school-friend of mine who has a background in graphic design (and pretty much all things visually creative) has recently gone freelance. If anyone needs any rebranding, logos designed or if you just want to check out some really very lovely images, get in contact with Michael at Pixeldaddy.

We are getting married this year

Or maybe next year, if the right place isn't available until then. With all her recent stress at work, Jane has decided to take the bull by the horns and we are going to just do it. All I've had to do so far is choose a waistcoat colour for me, Lewis, Ethan, Colin and my best man to wear…

Well, the support forum is up and running. At the moment, as I have nothing to support, it's more of a progress forum. And sadly, the first things I'm doing is design work, and I have no way of creating vector graphics... I mocked up the first logo in Paint and it's pretty basic. Gonna have to have a look…

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…

Happy New Year!

2011 was good, but also kinda shit. I remember back when I started this blog, I intended to use it to explain about my depression, and for Jane to give her input as well, but that never happened really. I never really knew how to put it into words. And now it's the other way around. Jane is suffering from…

As well as becoming as Uncle…

I bought a new PC today. Well, we put it on Jane's credit card and I'll pay her for it over the course of the next couple of months, but yeah. 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…
