it's that time of year again...
Christmas decorations are going up, town is too busy, and for the 4th year running Yell have announced redundancies in the I.T department.
Travelling Light
Well, it's my first proper outing with the new laptop. When I decided to change over from the more traditional gaming tower to a laptop the plan was for better portability, so as a suitable test I brought it along to Throne of Skulls (hereafter referred to as ToS...it's Games Workshops big event they run at their headquarters).
Volume over Style

Don't play Minecraft!
On Saturday morning I bought and installed Minecraft, mainly to see what all the fuss was about.
Civ 5 - Explain it to a n00b
I spent far too long this weekend not really understanding Civ 5. While it downloaded I attempted to read the manual (all 230+ pages of it), and got a basic idea of combat, play mechanics etc etc. Did the basic tutorial, and won it in about 10 minutes.
Thus endeth the season...
It's been a long, long race season for me this year. Certainly a tough one, and one that finished on a great high with Reading Triathlon, which pretty much goes thrgouh my village.
Blood Bowl Comedy
On a whim I've decided to enter Spiky Clubs yearly Blood Bowl tournament...6 games over 2 days.
RideAcrossBritain - The Epilogue
It's been about a month since I got back from Lands End...a fairly banal train journey from Penzance, and Gill met me at Reading station (still dragging that damn bag!)
