The Red Queen's Race
"Now! Now!" cried the Queen. "Faster! Faster!" And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. The Queen propped her against a tree, and said ( Read more... ) -

While it's of little interest to most of you, Belmann is now The Loremaster. -
Up Down Ready
Shamelessly plugging quirksilver's work, but I spent a lot of late nights with her while she worked on this.
Her and a colleague have released their first indy game, and mounted it up at Kongregate. Go play it, and make money for her. It's also getting attention at Reddit.
And they have a website: http:// -
The $6 Million Dollar Machine
We can build it. I think. Here’s the thing: since I’m going to be leaving my current place of employ, I’ll be losing the (windows) laptop that I have. I decided last year that it would be handy to have a reasonably serious PC to play games on (pretty well to the exclusion of any other use, to be frank), and it seems to me that the cheapest way to ( Read more... ) -

Journal, Unplugged
I’m writing this at first in (and now transcribing from) a note book in the Roma Street Parkland, listening to “Soul Gypsy”, 9 mad Balkan musicians, with a sea of bouncing ferals, dancing hippies and swaying belly dancers at their feet. In, as it now turns out, the rain. If anyone wanted to film an iconic Brisvegas moment, this would be one of them ( Read more... ) -
Telstra woes
So for about five years now I’ve been using Telstra cable. This was not entirely by choice - at the time there was no ADSL available, and Optus did not run cable down my street. For all the bleating that Telstra does, they remain, and will remain, a virtual monopoly controlling the physical infrastructure of the Internet in Australia.
