I’ve kind of taken this week off from my “game of life”, but I still do need to post about the previous week. Later. I keep a text editor open all the time on my laptop, and jot little notes down in it whenever I have a thought. Sometimes weeks go by between computer reboots […]
98% for my first week playing my game – and I didn’t entirely fail on those last 2 points either; if I was awarding half-points then I would have earned them. One of my daily activities is sorting and fixing stuff. I found my old Pac-Man and calculator watches. My Pac-Man watch came back to […]
I finally managed to get to 10,000 words in my sort-of NanoWriMo. Even if I don’t make the target, it’s been pretty fun doing all this memoiring. The blog spam problem came back. It was just one guy who always left the name “Hi there”. I tried modifying the PHP code to ignore anything from […]
I’ve been getting a lot of comment spam over the last few months. It started maybe around June, after months of no spam at all. It then went away for a lot of August, but now it’s back to the point that I’m deleting dozens of spam comments every day. Rather than forcing people to […]

One book you’ve read more than once: The Hobbit. 3. One book you’d want on a desert island: (note: not the ONLY book) Trouble […]
A couple weeks ago I heard a weird rustling sound coming from the furnace room which joins on to my geek room. I crept in (feeling a bit extra anxious/wired because I had pulled another all-nighter to meet a deadline on the game I’m working on) and found that the sound was coming from behind […]
Carla and I think we’ve discovered a fundamental truth of blogging: The number of comments you receive about a post is inversely proportional to the amount of effort you put into writing that post. You want anecdotal evidence? Look no further than this very page. My last three posts all took just 5-10 minutes to […]
It took most of the day, but I’ve finally moved (completely) away from Blogger. I’m now using WordPress, just like my good buddy Shroom. I imported all my old posts from Blogger, but I don’t know of a way of importing all the comments. I manually did a couple, and will do more if anyone […]
