It had to be done, you know. The sun was out, the temperature was above zero, and I had some burgers in need of cooking. OK, so it wasn’t a full on steaks, onions and marinades job, but that doesn’t matter – it’s officially light at teatime and the barbeque season is therefore upon us.

Well this is pretty! It’s like having a haircut and a shave and a new t-shirt, all at the same time! I felt it was time for a change because, pretty as the old Temple of Bague theme was, a change is as good as a nod to a blind bat, as they say. They

According to a blog I’ve just come across, Gordon Brown has testified in court (via legal representation, one would expect) that manifesto pledges aren’t actually something to take seriously. Really? Is there more to life than shoes?: Did you think a manifesto pledge meant something?

This was a bit of a surprise! I haven’t posted anything on it yet because I’m “only” six hours in and I’m still waiting for all the bad things the review sites moaned about to kick in. Which they haven’t. At all. Thing is, gamespot, eurogamer, all those guys, complained that Hoshigami is a bit

In a recent report, the European Union commissioner for information society and media made a breathtakingly naive statement in support of DRM, mere days after consumer pressure has managed to convince the mainstream music publishers that applying arbitrary restrictions to users use of the music they’ve bought is a bad idea. The last thing the anti-DRM
