So I use an app called Bottled. You send messages (bottles) out into a digital ocean, and other people have the choice to take them and talk to you or send them on their journey to someone else. It's not a great app, but it is the best of a bad bunch. It has a huge scammer problem, and the devs...
So before I begin with today's tale of woe, a quick health update :
I'm great. I'm better than great, I'm in absolutely no pain and even better, I am now painkiller-free. And I would just like to thank everyone who has put up with me for the past 5-7 years, like @Alexander1970 @AmandaRose ...
Hey all,
So, it's been two weeks since I went down for surgery, and I thought I would give a little update :).
Things are pretty much going great. The first week, I had a frozen shoulder on my left side, which was pretty painful, but on the plus side, it distracted my body away from the pain...
I really didn't want to make this post but I really really need to vent.
Originally this blog was supposed to be a light-hearted blog about how I was going into hospital for an operation soon, how I have a small computer issue (memory leak), and how I have a program I made while half asleep...
Sorry no, I'm still not dead post this month. All projects are currently on hold. Altho I have been working on a Mini-ITX motherboard for the Raspberry compute module 4 with onboard native NVME, 2 SATA ports, more 3.0 USB (8 in total), wifi, Bluetooth, standard power supply support, as well as...
Yup, I'm still not dead, tho there have been times in that last month or so I wish I was haha.
So what's the craic?
Well to be honest I have spent the last month pretty much in bed. After getting my Covid booster, the following week I got collared for my flu shot too - Not saying that either...
Ooo just look at me nearly missing the "still not dead " entry for August
But yeah to be quite honest it's not been a good month. All the projects I have been working on have pretty much come to a halt due to one reason or another. Infact one has hit a roadblock for 2 reasons. The first is that...
Tales of Arise is a good game... For the most part. Sadly the last third of the game comes across as rushed and uninspiring.
If you haven't played Tales of Arise yet and plan to, stop reading here. Below this line altho I won't be going too far into specifics there will be talking about the...
So I've been a big fan of the Tales series for a long time now. I think I first played Tales of Destiny back in 2002 when I was living in California and that was the spark that grew to almost rival my love for Final Fantasy games.
Off the top of my head, I can only think of 1 game in the whole...
Ted being Ted
So this weekend I've been sat here dealing with idiots on a penpal app ( I really don't know why I bother anymore - and the apocalypse for the app is coming - They are launching a Web-app version, they can't even get the fucking basics right let alone opening it to a deluge ...
I seem to have a bit of a knack of starting these update blogs and getting distracted by something else and accidentally closing my browser window :/ This is about the 4th time I have attempted to write this very blog.
So I'll start where I need to which is the beginning. I'm still not dead...
I really tried hard to want to like this and from its inception, it sounded right up my street. The original pitch was CSI Ankh-Morpork. GREAT sign me up.
However, what we ended up with was something made by someone that had merely glanced at a Discworld novel through a bookstore window on a...
So you may have noticed I haven't been around a whole lot lately. This is down to having one of my meds for my neck increased - Initially, it just makes you feel like a zombie and that has passed, but what I have at the moment is the constant feeling of having a bad hangover ( funny enough have...
Ted is a 7-week old Teddy and Dougal is a 7-week old Creasted guinea pig and both are settling in quite nicely. They are still quite skitty as they are in a completely new environment and we are trying our best to help them settle in.
If you want to see them in action I when to the effort of...
Before I really get into things I have to set the scene a little with a little bit about my family. I come from a pretty big family 3 brother and 2 sisters with myself sitting as the second youngest with only 1 younger sister. My brothers were into sports, 2 of them football and the other...
It's fair to say if Max was the brains paddy was definitely the face of the pair. With just a glance, this pig could get whatever he wanted. Paddy was also the guard of the herd he was the first to warn of danger (usually a car door) not that Max cared or wheek at the impending feeding time...
Just a quick blog to expand what's going on with the pig most of you will look at at least once a day.
Yesterday lunchtime we gave him a bit of cucumber as a midday snack and he seemed absolutely fine. When his dinner time came around he was not interested one bit in his food - This is a...
Sorry really silly blog post this time, still waiting for one more thing to turn up before the monster blog post can be finished.
Enjoy the RGB box cutters!
Guinea pigs are arseholes, But it's not really their fault, instinctually they are just arseholes at least to us humans.
In my last post, I talked about the passing of perhaps the greatest guinea pig to have ever lived, Max. At the time I really didn't feel like going into details on what...
It's amazing how something so small can occupy so much of your heart, but that's exactly what Max did. A little under 5 years ago Max came into my life and he came into it at just the right time and has helped me through a lot. Every day I could always rely on his smiling face looking at me...
