Happy Birthday to me! 24 Years. Whoo!

I wish every day like this. I've been awake for half an hour, don't have to go to work and I've already made ?110. :)

Also, some guy called Archie / Huntey has bought me Mass Effect 2 on Steam but I think he might just be trying to get into my knickers. :/

For those of you curious about the pink cat avatar, I'll simply say: "The photo has not been edited other than adding my name."

Seriously.

I'll leave this here as well: BBC News

MAC owners. More money than sense it seems. :/

On top of this, my friend has an iPhone and had to replace his headphones recently because they got a little damp in the rain. I'm talking the nasty little earplug headphones, not some big, sound enhancing headset.

Cost to replace the flimsy things? ?20!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Apple can eat a dick.

Been working on this for a total of about 5 hours, tweaking the code and fine tuning the graphics. A guess a fair amount of credit should go to Rimrook for his epic texture package which helped make the concrete and metal effect which is perfect for the theme of the mod and webpage.

Anyways, still a few issues to sort out and some links to add in, but I'd like to know what you guys think.

Thanks. :)

We Brits are a great nation of moaners. Even the Summer month's are worth whining about. You know you wanna see me doing my thing. ;)

So, my SexBox Three-Shitsty is bricked. Surprise surprise. It's down to the E74 error which is apparently related to the console overheating. This in turn is down to the thing lacking a heat sink, simply containing a low power fan and poor ventilation. Well done Microsoft.

I've learned that since this started popping up more regularly MS have extended the warranty from 1 year to 3 years. That's really great considering after my 1 year was up I slung the box and documents required to send the damn thing to get fixed.

Fortunately though, there are plenty of fixes online and I have tried a few of them to no avail. However, I think I've got the best possible solution right here.

Check it out. :)

Chalk up another shoddy product Microsoft. Not surprising that I don't know a single person who has paid for one of your operating systems. :|

So, I have decided expand my modding horizons. I've played around with GTA4 which is temperamental at best. Also Fallout 3, which is less so.

This is the first step on what will hopefully lead to additional quests and locations. A replacement for Jericho, one of the evil companions who you can employ to follow you around.

Incidentally, if anybody wants a copy of me to follow them around the wasteland, I'll send you the file. It's a whole 1KB. :D

So, since I started working as a web designer, I have discovered that as soon as you start doing something 5 days a week, to strict deadlines, it can quickly become very grating.

In light of this fact, I have been trying to focus a lot more on creative writing. It is something I have always enjoyed doing, got me high grades during my GCSEs, and some of you have read and enjoyed some of my fan fiction work which I have posted on the forums. I am currently making notes and brainstorming ideas for what will hopefully be my first novel.

I'll post more info about this as it develops. :)

I have a friend who is half South-African and half German. His German father, Detlef, is a chef. His grasp of the English language is pretty good, however with most foreign people, he gets confused with regards to homonyms. The pub where he works recently changed their menu and one of the new meals was "Battered Haddock." The first day using the new menu, the landlord was getting ready to open the doors when he heard an incredible racket emanating from the kitchen. He rushed in to see what was going on, only to see Detlef beating the shit out of a cold dead fish with a large rolling pin.

Confession Time

I enjoy watching medical examinations on YouTube. I find it soothing. Am I strange? :|

Hey Guys!

So as some of you may know, Rimrook recently got his hands on a copy of Left 4 Dead 2. How did he do this? Well, he purchased it on Steam. Whoo!

However the money required to make such a purchase was provided by the lovely Archie of Scotch and Coffee.

Check out this video to for our recent competition results and see Rimrook's winning entry.

If you are interested in getting your hands on some steam games or even goods from Amazon.com, check out our latest competition here.

It's so simple you can do it in MSPaint! ;)
