Mememe!
So this site is mine, all mine, personally speaking. I’m inclined to hawk whacky websites and technologies I find useful (mostly pretty geeky) and rant about various topics. I dislike the term “blog” as I specifically want to add more articles and make those the bulk of the content, but obviously committing knowledge to paper and making it easily readable… ha, well, I specialize in User Interfaces, not copy-writing. Until I’m finished composing tales of my life that are sure to tire^H^H^H^Henthrall you endlessly, here are some suggestions I can make, ya know, if ya feel inclined - that’s right, suggestions of random statistics! Wooo!
Chronologically Speaking
- Designate Sevenoaks, England for Earthly arrival
- Move to the Continent
- Escape England
- Escape further
- Join liberating Dot.Com Bubble
- Find Love
- Thrive during Dot.Com Bubble’s “agressive deflation”
- Marry aforementioned love
- Feed the animals (oops)
Recent Reading
Books! Everywhere! ~6,000 at last count! We need more walls! Ack! A Short History of Nearly Everything, A Diary of a Nobody, Talking to Addison, Mountains Beyond Mountains, The Story of the Chicken, Just A Geek, The Enchanted Lives of Christopher Chant, The Chronoliths…
Audible Suggestions
As with everyone’s mood, my musical taste varies wildly on occasion, so the only order occuring in the following is that of my stream of consciousness blurting them out. The Streets could definitely do with more air-time, but then The Postal Service and The Transplants also, but then The Mars Volta and The Killers would have to bring-up the rear. Also, some honorable mentions: Bis, Freezepop, Orbital, Dust Brothers, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Lords of Acid… but then the recent additions would be Death Cab For Cutie, Morningwood, Franz Ferdinand. If we look at my iTunes Top Rated -which I dare say far more honest- we see also Blur, Cake, Cowboy Mouth, Juno Reactor, Orb, Pixies, Nancy Sinatra, Rob Dougan, HIVE, Transplants and Reverend Horton Heat among others oddly enough.
Cinematic Choices
It’s weird that I can never think of films as my media server sure has a lot more space allocated for films than it does for music. *shrug* I just live here… DICK, Manhattan Project, Shaun of the Dead, Randall & Hopkirk [Deceased]…
Video Gaming
Counter-Strike (Source and 1.6), Unreal Tournament 2004 (can’t wait for 2007!), Far Cry (can’t wait for Crysis!), Quake 1/2/3, Homeworld2, Plane Crazy (highly underrated), Syndicate Wars, Dark Forces, Heretic II, Unreal II (although the XMP mod for UT2k4 makes this fairly obselete), Tribes Vengenance (no sequel possibly lives up to StarSeige: Tribes though)…
