Some bugger nicked my phone. We went out to the LUG meeting last night, and between leaving the place and getting home, my phone was nicked. We tried to ring it and it was off, so someone has pocketed it and ensured that it is turned off. I know that it is not anyone in [...]

Right, prepare yourself for the bacon review of the third installment of the Matrix. We went to the cinema in wolves, sat down with popcorn and fanta in hand and prepared for the film. What I was then treated to for the next two hours or so was a complete, engorged, swollen bag of shite. [...]

I have finished by Blender series now for Linux Format. It is a bit of a shame really, as it was a really fun series to write, but I am pleased that Blender has had a lot of exposure in the magazine. When the final part is published in January, the series will have run [...]

You know, I love Blender. It’s wicked, and everyone should use it. I have just bought the new 2.30 manual that is to be released in late december, and I have been playing with a script called Make Human. It is so simple to create effective looking human meshes. These meshes can be then exported [...]

Last night we gigged at the Giffard Arms in Wolves. Pretty decent night, if a little quiet – but the main rock night in Wolves was on which clashed. Given the clash, the turnout was better than I expected. Well, KDE is all compiled up a working. I got kdenetwork going, and now need to [...]

Yes, I have not updated my blog…I know I am naughty, and yes, I should know better. It has been so busy around here this week that I have not been online a great deal. this has been due to a lot of band related stuff that is going on. Seraphidian is going very well, [...]

Since the age of nine when I first heard the glory that is Iron Maiden, I have headbanged quite a bit. There I could be seen, out with friends, banging my head to the lucent tones of distorted guitars and thudding double bass drums. With great pleasure I can say that not for a long [...]

Right, this is starting to freak me out. My wireless card decided last night to stop working. I can see the card in the PCMCIA services and insmod the driver fine, but in terms of grabbing an IP address…nada. I have no idea why this is doing it. Consequently, I am sat here with a [...]

There are a few other bits and bobs that I need to finish off tonight, and the tomorrow I have an article to finish and some other documents to write. LUG tonight [...]
