I would fix it, but surprise surprise, I am in the midst of another redesign. This time I think I will make the blog a seperate part of the site. The homepage will likely involve some kind of mashup of various things including my portfolio, an RSS ‘Lifestream‘, my recent photos, twitter updates and whatever else I feel like putting on there.

A man who was caught skipping work by his boss thanks to a foolish Facebook update is to be investigated by his employer.

Come on. If you’re going to skip work, don’t go publicising it on one of the biggest networking sites in the world. This reminds me of a story I read a while back - an employee complained about his job, stating it was a pile of crap. His boss found out and he was then fired.

On a final note, I guess I haven’t bothered to update my site in ages, yet again. It will likely go back to how it was a few months back; just posting random stuff like this.

It aims to quenstion how we can assess the quality of the websites that we browse. I must design a tool which will automatically evaluate websites against my own proposed quality evaluation framework.

Should be interesting.

I do not intend to do any form of personal blogging anymore, although this may change. I do however intend to begin writing my thoughts, opinions, ideas on various topics I stumble upon whilst browsing the web. My blog-blog will now be pulled from my Twitter page, which you can see the latest entry in the upper right of this page.

As always, if you have any comments or can see anything wrong with this site, use the contact form or just post a comment on this post.

I installed the game and then loaded it. When I got to the intro screen I decided to change the video settings (from 800×600 to 1440×900). It then asked for a restart; which I did. I tried to run the game again, but nothing. The game just wouldn’t start. I perhaps thought it was the video settings that messed it up so I reinstalled the game and left the settings as they were. The game worked fine, although everything was rather big and lacking in detail.

Anywho, after a while (30 minutes give or take) I got a bit bored and decided to shut down the game. Upon trying to restart the game, it just wouldn’t load. I began looking for a solution, but it seems to be a known problem. All of my drivers are up to date and my computer specs are far greater than the required specs of the game. I decided I’d had enough and went to return it to Game.

I went in and explained the situation to the guy who served me, and asked him if I could simply swap it for a different game. He said that would be fine. I knew already what game I was going to swap it for; Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I have no idea why I didn’t select that game in the first place.

As for Alone in the Dark, even if it did work, I probably would have found myself not playing it fairly soon. The controls were annoying, the constant switching between first and third person mode were tedious, the movements of the character were a pain and the dialogue was pathetic. Oh well.

CoD time.

Unforgotten Realms is the epic tale of Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon, the dual nunchuk-wielding sorcerer and Eluamous Nailo, Master Wizard in training (AKA Rob and Mike) and their animated adventures in the Unforgotten Realms (AKA, Mike’s role playing game).

These are set to air every other Thursday.
