The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Got this on a loaner – a friend of mine reckoned my boy would like it, given he’s really into greek mythology. Having seen it, however, there’s no chance in hell he’s playing it just yet – for a couple of reasons: Firstly, it really isn’t suitable for kids. It has an eighteen certificate on

Everything’s started moving now. The passports have been checked and sent by the post office, coming in at a cool 190UKP for all five. Yikes. We should get the birth and marriage certificates returned to us in the next day or two, so we can get them sent off to the migration agents for copying

Righty-ho. The passport applications are done and dusted. We need to wait for our replacement birth and marriage certificates to arrive before we can get them sent off though. We’re going to use the post office “Check and Send” service, to make sure I haven’t stuffed up the forms. It’s a very long winded process.

Lots of them. All in a dirty great big chain. First one to the Scottish Vocational Qualifications body to get duplicates of some certificates I’m missing, and the next to retrieve replacement birth and marriage certificates. Once I have birth and marriage certificates, I can get passports organised. Once we have passports and replacement certificates,

Well, in most ways we’re not any further on but in some ways we’re miles ahead of where we were. For one thing, I have my head around the documentation required by the ACS and it turns out I’m better qualified than I thought I was. I have a whole pile of essays to write,

I have an almost irresistable urge to write this entry in Martian, but I shall resist. ‘k, quick databurst. Third person, walking and flying a saucer, death ray, zapomatic, brain sucking anal probe (god knows what kind of traffic I’m going to get from google after this) and good old fashioned alien abductions. The intro

Good heavens! What will they think of next! Science can now create food that tastes of precisely NOTHING. Nothing at all. Each Low Carb Rolo is a chewy slice of null. It has void taste. Remarkable.

I’m a longstanding fan of the Myst series. Uru is something I’ve been playing in fits and starts for what seems like forever. It’s got all the usual Myst mind benders in, but wrapped up in a largely free roaming 3D environment, rather than the “on rails” systems of previous Myst titles. Anyway, I’ve just

Aha! I think I’ve got it sussed. There’s going to have to be a bit more sneaking about and sending in engineers (and defending them) *before* annihilating all the virusy things. Makes it a lot tougher, but I *nearly* managed to beat the introductory level 🙂

It’s ACEBEST! Really nice abstract graphics which, because of their simplicity, really fly on most machines. I’m only on the first world, really, and I think I may have to restart it because I’ve stuffed up b doing some stuff in the wrong order. It’s a strangely compelling games – one of those titles which
