Doctor Who Season 3 Finale
I’ve deliberately stopped myself from commenting on this series of Who until the end. And now that we’re here I’m struggling to find the right words to say about it. Poor. Lacklustre. Uninspired. Hmmm, I’m in the right direction but … Continue reading

It Is Finished
Back on May 8th I began my LugRadio listening marathon. Well – 49 days and 80 shows later, and I’m finished (apart from the to-be-released-on-Monday Season 4 Episode 22). It’s been an interesting experience, cramming it all in in such … Continue reading
Cool things
Sometimes you come across a cool new thing, and you wonder whether or not everybody else already knows about them, but never bothered to say. Well – I’m going to say, but if you know about it already, keep quiet … Continue reading

ET Redux!
A while ago, I used to play Enemy Territory a lot. It’s a great game, and I miss it at times. Me and some of the guys on the #lugradio IRC even setup a server to run every Sunday and … Continue reading

Myst: As good as I remember
I recently picked up Myst: The Collection for Ruthy and being a bit bored of Guild Wars the other night, I decided to indulge in some classic point-and-click. Sure, the graphics are dated and the gameplay is as straight-forward as … Continue reading

There’s a major problem with the table in the database which stores the comments. I’m working on it – apologies for the downtime.

QuickURL (TM)
TinyURL is great. It’s a wonderful service that replaces a really, really long URL, with an itty-bitty URL. For those of us who live online in IM, IRC and forums, it makes life a lot easier. But. (There’s always a … Continue reading

Galaxy Galaxy
A good proportion of you will be reading this site via a webpage that is powered by the Planet Planet aggregation software. Now, I’m told that Planet Venus is a better aggregator, but I have no real plans to change. … Continue reading

To all you Django people
OK – if you’re not into Django (the Python webframework), or you don’t know know anyone who does, look away now. Otherwise, I really need your help. Hell – even if you know nothing about Django, but know some database … Continue reading

Dreamblade vs. D&D
A rare gaming geek post here… Can anyone tell me what the fundamental difference is between Dreamblade and the Dungeons and Dragons miniatures game? Or are Wizards of the Coast, the makers of both games, conning the kids by producing … Continue reading
Scotland ranked ‘worst small country’
I pissed myself laughing when I saw this headline on an article in The Register this morning. Finally we’ve been found out. The BBC News site has more about it here. They use the same headline. Excellent! BigAl

In what is, frankly, a surprisingly sober and thought provoking video, “Freedom March”, the 4 large gents of LugRadio have announced that the registrations for LugRadio Live are open here. You should be coming, really. (Ya Rly) mrBen

Urgent appeal
This is kind of urgent. I inadvertently watched some Lorraine Kelly on GMTV this morning and I seem to have reacted by plunging a knife into my eye. Could anyone come round here as soon as possible as I’m losing … Continue reading
Live in the US?
