Garden pics
I haven’t posted for ages, I know. I started writing a long catch up post a few weeks ago and literally in the middle of writing I came down with a horrible lurgy that kept me off work and not particularly feeling like sitting in front of a computer for a whole week. Andy had the same thing at the same time, which always sucks. Anyway, the lovely ( Read more... ) -
Just call me NostraGamus
I have been predicting for a while now that when the six months o' crazy was up I would fall in a heap, and here I am, heaplike. It's been an eventful few weeks to round out the six months o' crazy ( Read more... ) -
Shaped and stumbling…
We’re out of internet again, this time at least a week before our rollover date. This means I probably won’t be able to play ESO for two weeks, because I doubt I will have sufficient internet access to play while I am in Sydney (leaving aside issues of time or energy). It’s a hard life.
In other news, I turned my ankle on the way home from ( Read more... ) -
Mostly good news
Not having a lot of luck getting into ESO lately. The server has been down for maintenance the last two nights and tonight it's downloading a patch. The server regularly goes down for maintenance on Monday or Tuesday and Thursday nights. It is scheduled for 8am North American time, which is probably a fairly sensible time for bringing a game down, ( Read more... ) -
Still here...
I didn't realise how long it had been since I posted. To be fair I was in Canberra for nearly a week with bad hotel internet, and then, not long after I got back, we were shaped for a few days. Also I have been spending a lot of time playing ESO lately and that requires me to use Andy's gaming laptop. There's no way this slow old thing could cope ( Read more... ) -
Elder Scrolls Online - some thoughts
So I've been playing ESO for about a week now, and I thought I'd throw out a few impressions. I would be playing it right now instead of writing this, except that I played for about three hours straight this afternoon and I think my wrist needs a rest. Which probably tells you something right off (yes, people with RSI shouldn't play MMORPGs ( Read more... ) -
Keeping busy...
In two weeks I am heading off to Canberra again - on the night of Andy's birthday, no less. He is not too happy about this. Nevertheless it has been decreed that we shall have an offsite on that date and I don't have a lot of choice in the matter. The week before that I start a two month period acting in my supervisor's job. The good news about ( Read more... ) -
Why you shouldn't trust grammar checkers...
Word is insisting that I change 'X came to slowly' to 'X came too slowly'.
Which really changes the meaning quite substantially... -
The perils of non-existence
I think I may have mentioned a couple of years ago the difficulties I was having getting a passport on account of how hard it is to prove that you exist when you don't have a driver's licence. Well, this problem has arisen again in the course of trying to sell our old house. As of Monday (this coming Monday) the laws about signing transfer papers ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes I should not be allowed to leave the house...
One whole day I was in Perth and I managed to lose two things - including the lovely (and expensive!) fountain pen that Andy gave me for my birthday a couple of years ago. Feeling pretty stupid right now...
