I'm sitting in front of my computer in cold sweat and slightly shivering from relief... I woke up this morning to find that my hosting service was down, — leaving me without access to any of my websites and projects! more »
Thought I'd drop a line to the 2 people who actually read this blog (hi mum, hi dad). I've been coding all day. It's sunny outside, which is a good excuse for coffee... Off for a coffee break.

I guess I never realized I was such a fan, but I have to say I'm kind of missing TWIT. The guy is off Down Under taking photos or something. So I'm left feeling like the guy who comes all dressed-up to the party only to remember that it was cancelled. Don't ask how I know what that feels like. |
I was really sad to hear of Anthony Minghella passing yesterday. He was a great director.

The premise couldn't be more cliched: an apocalyptic nuclear war, a forlorn space fleet, a band of survivors in search of Earth, a race of genocidal androids on their pursuit. Yet Battlestar Galactica is hands down one of the best shows on TV! | |
I'm in the process of reshaping and streamlining the backend of Wimbomedia, and wishing I had paid more mind to the cautionary voice in my head urging me to plan more and code less when I was building the site.
As the Wimbomedia grows, I've identified some potential issues with scaling the information-heavy database. It's proving a little cumbersome changing the way the system works because it's already so loaded with data.

I'm going to have to go get the Firefly series after watching this. This movie is so much fun, and the characters are great! You can't get enough of these gun-touting mavericks.

Two awesome movie scenes that spawned an awful lot of regretful wedding videos. People should just not attempt these in the vicinity of a camera.

Three years of Media Studies has made me hate the word "Postmodern", so I prefere to think of Jean-Luc Godard's film as a great example of French New Wave – which it is.

Andy and I went to the Natural History Museum. He was quite proud of the British's achievement at archiving all this stuff and I could see why. The place was packed with every sort of monster-like creature that at some point walked the face of the Earth. This was my last day in London (for real this time!) I so I wanted to bid the city a proper adieu.
Right now, I'm supposed to be somewhere over the North Sea en route to Vienna. Instead I'm back at my friend’s house writing this on his computer because I missed my flight! I stood at the check-in desk, with my bags and ticket in hand, blinking like an idiot as the check-in lady informed me that I was more of an idiot than I thought if I reckoned I could board a flight 30 minutes before departure. more »
It's raining buckets outside, which isn't at all unusual, this being England and all. I'm in London for the British Interactive Media Association Awards because my game, The Dark Gloriole was nominated. I was all "chuffed" as the Brits would say.
London is an interesting place, stating the least. If you've got a mind to look, London will show you some pretty interesting things. I've found the strangest possibilities here!
Just near to where I am staying is a whacky antiques shop run by a chatty owner who seems more enthusiastic then knowledgeable about his wares. From what my friend Elliott tells me, his business model is simple: defy odds, thereby stay in business.
