That’s what I was needing! A saturday morning Zelda session. Anyhoo, much progress made – the final area of Twilight (yeah, right) has been lifted, after the daftest and most fun boss fight yet – a giant wriggly bug thing in the middle of Lake Hylia. So, next up I need to get to the

This is exactly what you don’t want. Trust me. I had a bank holiday stretching ahead of me when I turned it on. Now I have a DS with a flat battery which I can’t charge because my missus’ current EBA addiction means hers lives on the charger (I do have a spare, but really!

In which many game sessions are combined into one and some surprising facts emerge about the clientel of GameStation. Well, I’m finally making some progress in Zelda! I think my problem has been that I haven’t been playing it regularly so the first half of any play time I have is spent trying to work

People in newsgroups wonder why it takes me so long to complete a Zelda game. It’s very simple. I spend hours and hours mucking about with silly things. Last night, for example. I finally completed the Goron Caverns, and on returning to the village discovered that there’s a sniper-scope type attachment available for the bow.

Argh is all that I can say. This is a brilliant game. I am trying desperately to get through one of the missions and Im turning into a game addict cos I really really have to finish the level. Rather than watching a Bruce Willis film heres me sitting with headphones doing practice levels and

OK, so we had a bit of a situation. We have a full rack of co-located production equipment, running a critical web application which can’t go down. The trouble is, the router and firewall belong to someone else and it’s getting turned off at the end of the week. Not a problem, you cry, just

Imagine my surprise to discover I’ve not come back to any kind of drama or bloodletting at all! The server-migration deadline I thought was on the 15th isn’t actually until the 18th, which is TONS of time, so hooray me! The downside (there’s always one) is that I’m currently installing a Red Hat Enterprise box

I really can’t describe the majesty and peacefulness of Glencoe. Pictures don’t seem to work either. But I’ve taken some pictures anyway. We only got to see a tiny part of the Glen this year, but we’ll be travelling a bit more extensively next year. Here’s some pics.

Well, my mate Martin told me about this concept where you go and live somewhere else for a while and then come back, but without shipping all your belongings along with you. It’s called “Holiday”. Well, that’s where we’re going tomorrow! So, we’re packing up our tent and barbeque and heading off for the wilds

The controls have really clicked now – feels very smooth and intuitive. It’s all helped by the locking system being pretty smart, especially in close combat. Ol’ link leaps about like a ninja, making me look much better at the game than I actually am. Just done a little bit of the same dungeon –
