Because one of my site(s)  is currently down, and I don’t really know why, I’ve been inspired to give you a bit of a lesson in how web serving works, and give you a (hopefully) brief insight into the ridiculous muddle I find myself in.

Because the reviews of this movie I’ve heard have been pretty negative, I’ve decided to give you my opinion on Cloud Atlas. This movie has a lot of interesting parts, and so, to accurately discuss it, this review will be a bit more spoiler-rific to usual, so BE WARNED. Continue Reading

Something I did do today, this may become the wallpaper here soon…

Because I’ve been a bit stressed and anxious about Uni starting this week, and the possibility of a new IT Support job, and we haven’t had internet for the last few days I haven’t really gotten round to writing a blog. So, here I present to you something a little different, but hopefully just as interesting and entertaining (or maybe even more so!).

An abstract, thicker-than-true version of my beard.

“Because I wanted to”, is the simple answer to the question in the title, however things are never that simple. After reaching my goal time-period of six months of beard growth, it’s time to stop and think about what’s going on here, on my face.

Because I’ve had my Raspberry Pi for about six months now, I feel it is time that I told you a bit about what I think of it. However, on some levels, I still don’t feel ready to review it. I haven’t used it that much yet, and I feel that I don’t fully grasp it’s power or purpose yet. Continue Reading
