I've just been asked if I can program Java.

Reason being is I've been approached by someone on the game development front to find a Java programmer with immediate availability to work on a game version of a particularly well-known franchise based on small people with big feet and taste in magical jewellery.

Any takers respond to me through any ( Read more... )

Things are moving at a steady pace.  Yesterday absintheskiss  bought me a metric xenoload of Dark Heresy books.  Bye bye productivity!  Here's a terrible confession - I feel intimidated by the amount of stuff that's in these books.  FFS, I could probably quote old World of Darkness canon backwards and forewards at you until your head spun but this stuff is ( Read more... )

Can't talk about stuff for fear of bursting the bubble.  The wall is approaching and I suspect I've had a couple of scrapes.  Things are for now stable.  Though I seem to have inherited dad's sleep gene and my blood pressure seems to be up at the moment, which isn't a good sign but going to the gym doesn't seem appropriate right now.  Not until we' ( Read more... )

Back from Alton Towers where the decor was suitably Etheric.  Saw the biggest damn albino koi (I'm stood at a second story window and this thing was bigger than the worried looking mallard that left the shore at speed) in between corporate presentations, talking to people about data security, making a joke about confined spaces in a Mini and ( Read more... )

The Romans had d20s.  Now for sale at Christies.   And it was found in Egypt.

Have become a member of The Axis Casino.  I have no idea why but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  Even though some unscheduled overtime managed to take me out of previewing the casino (deep, rapturous 'joy' etc. so apologies to

Today I am blech and eating seems a nice idea in principle but actions has consequences.   So no work for me today even though I found yet another excellent pair of pubs in Old Basford which feels eerily like revisiting the past (a tram-tour of Nottingham hostels is something that could be organised if people are up for it).  Before you assume the ( Read more... )

I've just woken up so bear with me ( Read more... )

Gym full.  I mean people on every machine and weights for over an hour full.  At which point I declared 'Hell with this' and took to the pool and sauna much to the chagrin of the trainer there.

Marilyn Manson's latest video.  Extremely not safe for work and just a little bit er, erm.  And is it me or is he starting to look more like Marc Almond now ( Read more... )

300 trailer looks very good indeed.  I suspect I'll be hearing the 'This is where we fight, this is where they die!" line a few bazillion times more before the movie gets released.  And I recognise Gerald Butler reprising the ancient warrior role as well.  It did look very nice.  However, with Pirates of the Carribean 3 (which according to the ( Read more... )
