I had a crap day yesterday. Wasn’t good. After being up all night with a sick child, I came in to work to discover that our Internet connection was scarfed. Ended up being down for almost ten hours, and as we host lots of sites, our clients were somewhat distressed. Bah. Anyway, now is Wednesday

Well, it depends on your definition of funny, I suppose. Due to a bizarre set of circumstances (which are largely of my own making) I’ve managed to lose not only my entire development archive (graphics, code, sounds, everything) but all the backups as well. tch, eh? Bit of a pain in the neck really. Not

More poultry fun, food fans! Debbie called Tesco up last night, to ask for some chicken-related advice. I’m not sure she managed to convey the proper level of dismay to the person on the other end of the phone though, because they were inclined to believe the situation was amusing rather than downright horrific.

Gah, that’s all I can say. Gah. Today, I shall wander up to Castle Street and return Splinter Cell to the branch of game from whence it came. “But why?” you cry, “it’s the best xbox game of the year!”. Because, my friends, it is a hiding simulator. That’s what you do in it –

Hello? Anyone home? Ah, there you are. So, what’s all this about then, eh? Nothing much, I suppose – just some vague ramblings about stuff that’s happening. Perhaps I should begin by telling you all a bit about myself – in case you care. Well, I was born in Mayfield, Scotland (just outside Edinburgh). I

I’m afraid I’ve been a lazy bugger, and done absolutely nothing of late. Well, I had a gentle poke about Atic Atac, but that’s about it. There just aren’t enough hours in the day right now……
