By day I am an IT consultant and contractor specialising in Microsoft technologies, primarily Windows and Exchange Server. On here I write about my passions, movies, videogames, technology and particularly the world of high definition.
I had to write a post to show off this absolutely amazing piece of work that Lee created for me, it’s an Audi RS4 that has been customised with my company logo and colour scheme in Forza 3. These pictures don’t do the whole package justice as it looks absolutely amazing in motion. Cheers Lee, [...]
Another month, another twelve photos from our favourite photo blog challenge created by Chad Darnell. As always be sure to visit Chad’s page and the other participants, and be sure to leave a comment. We do like our comments. This month was another “not sure if I’m doing this” type affair, but I’ve thrown some [...]
It’s time yet again for 12 of 12, creation of Mr Chad Darnell. Be sure to visit his site and check out the photos from everyone else all over the world. This months 12 of 12 is a very late in the day, last minute affair I’ve cobbled together because up until late this afternoon [...]
Time for 12 of 12 once again, the now five year old creation of Chad Darnell. As I know photos around Britain always go down well with my fellow 12′ers I’ve got a complete set this month from a beautiful National Trust site called Mottisfont. I’ll keep the chat light this month and let the [...]
One of the key themes to my increasingly less frequent posts over the last year or so has been downsizing. A reduction in “stuff” in general, whether that be books, DVDs, videogames or whatever. I have had increasingly frequent clear outs just lately, with the local charity shops doing extremely well out of my digital [...]
Before Michael Bay spent a gazillion dollars on the Transformers franchise he made a series of somewhat clichéd action movies, but the one that has always stuck out for me is Bad Boys (his first feature film). Give Bay a relatively small budget and a paper thin plot (two cops bust drug dealers and cop [...]
Alan Wake has been a long time coming for me. Given that its major influences are Stephen King (my favourite author), The X-Files (my favourite television show of all time) and Twin Peaks along with a smattering of Lost for good measure, this is the game that could have been designed just for me. After [...]
It is very much a case of “so far so good” with regards my new contract. The company is good, the work varied and the people seem very nice indeed. The best surprise was on day one when I was introduced to my office! Having been working in IT for sixteen years and never having [...]
It’s 12 of 12 time yet again, the creation of the great Chad Darnell. For the last couple of months I’ve been a “gentleman of leisure” or as I like to call it, a “jobless waster”. But I am back to work again now on a new six month contract and the employer is in [...]
Earlier this week I wrote a post regarding my experiences (which are one hundred perfect stellar) with Splinter Cell Conviction. Since writing the post I have been continually playing through the multiplayer modes such as Hunter (take down enemies, which multiply if you set off alarms) and currently the DLC mode Infiltration. Which is like [...]
