All done. Well, the PC is moved anyway. And configured finally to play live tv again. The table where it used to live is still sorta unavailable for use...but you get that. After shot? After shot. w00ty t00ty.

Bugger me. It's time. For the last....many...months, my media centre PC has been sitting on our dining table. Heat constraints meant I had to get it out of the entertainment cabinet, and here it has sat for time immemorial. Ok, not quite that long, but DAMN long, that's for sure. You see (and stop me if I start boring you..no..don't...i'm ...

In the two years since I was last seriously blogging* community server has gone under a few changes - to the point that community server doesn't even seem to exist anymore. Telligent still has products, but they're not for me. Hell, I'd been holding off on upgrading to the latest version as it was. So this blog is, like, massively old. It still ...

If I may, just for a moment, quote the esteemed Martin Riggs.. We're back, we're bad, you're black and I'm mad. I decided two months ago - yes, two full frickin months - that I wanted to start blogging again. It's taken this long for webhost4life to pull their fingers out of their asses and actually make the fricking site work once more ...

As anyone who knows me knows, I've got two gorgeous children. It's time now to show you the new additions to my family. They're nowhere near as cute, but they're family, so you have to love them.

Sad now :( I'll miss you.

For a while now i've been using an iMate JAMin as my phone/pda. It was pretty good, cept for the lack of buttons. It was all touchscreen. I upgraded a few weeks ago. I wanted something that was pretty much the same, but i wanted to be able to type, not just tap. Enter the iMate Ultimate 9502. So far it's going pretty well. There's issues, but ...

XKCD is a comic that I really like. Just read it, it's great.  Anyway, this one in particular stands out to me as oh so true. (Note: yes, wetriffs.com does exist now :)  In the last 12 hours, it's been proved to me twice. I found this about 10 minutes ago (actual url hidden to protect the guilty - and I know this ...

Late last year (ish) myself and Kari, a friend of mine, were killing time, and we ended up maing up a story. It's certainly not serious or anything like that (quite the opposite even), but it was fun. It all happened in an IM window, and I believe it started something like this: Me: I'm bored.Kari: So?Me: Tell me a story.Kari: No, you tell me ...
