New Game – Advance Wars DS
In: games
31 Jan 2006This has been occupying a lot of my time the past few days. Beautifully done game, basically an old-skool war strategy game. Some extra features compared to the older GBA version, but overall the same basic gameplay. Improved massively with being able to use the stylus, and move all your troops around very easily. A [...]

My word that seemed a long time since my last pay day
In: diary
30 Jan 2006Partly because it was, nearly six weeks ago. Feel slightly more solvent now, which is no bad thing. Good weekend due to it, quiet one with a little drink out at the start of it with mrsfb on Friday, and plenty of junk tv, then a double night out on Saturday, my departments christmas do [...]
Got a lot done tonight, really
In: diary
25 Jan 2006Finished reading a geek book. Read some more Vernon God Little. Re-cabled the pc. Tidied up all the stuff that had fallen down the back of the pc. Helped someone set up a blog. Set up my new mobile properly. Sorted out some little jobs too. Not a bad evenings work really.
New mobile is well [...]
BBC in talks on Google link-up – Neowin.net
In: diary
23 Jan 2006This is a really big deal. Basically we get a BBC channel on YouTube, and hopefully far more content appearing quicker. Ideally more podcasts too, but I’m not holding my breath on that count.
The BBC is in advanced negotiations with Google to make programming available via a branded channel on the search giant’s video-sharing site, [...]
Have been quite chilled
In: diary
23 Jan 2006Didn’t necessarily achieve much this weekend. Did tidy up our place some, manage a long walk, but mainly about relaxing. Which is good. I think my main aim for this week is to get back on with some reading. Have started the first Vernon God Little book (okay, the only one thus far) and have [...]

This brief post is inspired by Wonderduck
In: diary
20 Jan 2006Mr Wonderduck has pointed out in comments to a previous post that he does not have broadband. This makes me sad, as it has totally changed my internet experience. I think I have had it for roughly 5 years now, and I just can’t imagine being without. Actually I can, I remember all the time [...]
Podcasts – Year Two
In: podcast
19 Jan 2006Well I was thinking on the bus into work today, I’ve been listening to podcasts on my iPod for nearly a year now, and was wondering what I have stuck with. I’ve tried a lot of different ones, but there are only a few that I have really been taken with.
Formula Pod
A Formula One podcast [...]
Working on stuff
In: diary
18 Jan 2006Trying to create an RSS feed for the site at the moment. If you subscribe to this site using a feed reader (I know at least two people do, and one of them isn’t me), it is using Atom rather than RSS. This is more practice for myself in such dark arts. I’ll chuck up [...]
Not a bad weekend
In: diary
16 Jan 2006Saw some mates for a good drink on Friday night, then a quiet one in with mrsfb on Saturday. We caught up on the end of Lost (The first series) which was great and unsatisfying all at once. Then again not finding things out is part of the joy of Lost. Also watched some Shameless, [...]
