Hey look, I’m blogging again. It’s one of them wacky things I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I was debating a light hearted ranty type post about living in a country where it’s considered OK to hate you, as long as it’s a joke. But i’m feeling too peppy. Instead I thought I’d do a quick, what’s going on with Scimon type thing.
Still in Glasgow, still writing lots of Perl code and failing to write any cool articles about it. I’ve also been finding lots of fun ways to break MySql, mostly involving loading 9GB of data into it every 2 hours and then trying to read it. Don’t worry if that didn’t make any sense, you probably don’t want it to. I’m also spending far too much time working with Viewdata, and not shiny new Viewdata I’m talking about the 1960′s monstrosity that’s still used by every single travel agent. If you don’t know then you’re a lucky lucky person.
As this is a Blog post I feel duty bound to mention my cats. The surviving pair Amelie and Dog seem to be getting on much better, well they have little fights that look like they are playing. Amelie has taken too attacking my feet in the wee small hours of the morning, aww it’s so cute, and painful. Dog meanwhile is just going into cuddle mode overdrive, as far as she is concerned my only reason for existance is for her to sit on. I think she’s trying to distract me.
On that note, my work on I can has XP has restarted. Yes, really. I’ve recently picked myself up and started writing down all the stuff in my head. I’m hoping to have it at a point that I can playtest it, or pass copies to other people to playtest real soon now (TM). I’m aiming for the end of September on that one.
Other fun stuff. I’m seriously looking forward to Champions Online coming out. Of course it comes out while I’m on holiday in Frnce but that’s just the way it goes. Expect to see me playing that for a while. Ok I know it’s not WoW but for some reason that never appealed to me. I guess there only so often you can water down Lord of the Rings before I get bored.
Of course I’m also really looking forward to getting Batman Arkham Asylum having played the demo and had serious Tenchu flashabcks to bits of my mispent youth. Sneaking around taking out bad guys one by one as they crap themselves never gets old.
Anyhoo, I’ve got half and hour to kill I think I’ll do some work on the Minions rules for a bit. Or carry on with my LJ RSS feed copying, one thing Livejournal really needs is an RSS feed for your friends page.
Have fun folks, be good.
