Oh fuck off, Apple. For the price of your latest toy, I could buy a new desktop PC and possibly a laptop - which will probably have the "lovely, shiny new" Windows 8 on it. That, clearly designed for the pea-brained ApplePhone market, looks like one of those old plastic telephones with big buttons that have pictures of animals on them - pick up the ( ... )

Development News... Today saw the almost-completion of Chapter 4 of the Traveller/Adventurers' Guild of Kraan crossover, and the (almost-)completion of a tricky, and wordy middle section. It's actually been worthwhile having the two "teams" sit down and chat, 'cause it's encouraged me to explore the existing story-material for these characters and ( ... )

Thought... Caught a repeat of the Doctor Who Christmas special. Fell asleep a couple of times, and mised a few of the drawn out wordy bits. The whole thing was improved as a result.

No, honestly.

Thought... Okay, that's us "BluRay-ed up" now. Sooooo... what else is needed/desirable? A list may be required - and I don't just mean a list of ( ... )

Dammit.. The Redskins drop another, and slide to a 3-4 record. Guess that could be our season screwed now...

Shopping... Been scanning through the Nintendo DSi games this weekend - I now have a brand shiny new DSi-XL, and I'm trying to see how I can make the most of this piece of kit. I am, however, dropping off every now and then with the netbook ( ... )
