Righty, with poor old Suzaku now on its last legs and my parents declaring it a fire hazard, I’m putting together a new machine to pass the time until the Great DirectX 10 Splurge. It’s going to be one of those Shuttle jobs, small enough that I can move it...
To: The director, scriptwriter and associated staff of the recently-released movie “Right at Your Door” Should you wish to follow up the no-doubt superbly mediocre reception of your film with another, I highly reccommend the conversion from story to film of some bunch of crap by a talentless hack known...
As always, post-LARP fever is getting to me. For three days I’ve dealt with matters of life and death in a place a thousand miles and a world away, and tomorrow… Tomorrow I have to get up at 6am, go to work and pretend none of it really happened. I’m...
The weather’s sunny, nights are well moon-lit, my bag is mostly packed, and the whole place smells of liquid latex. It must be Maelstrom time again!
Maelstrom Panic! Racheet, is it still okay for me to stay over at yours? Mark, if you’re heading up on Thursday do you want to co-ordinate trains? As requested by Racheet, I am required to inform the lady Anna that the aforementioned is beyond madly in love with you for...

Righty everyone, audience participation time. A few of you have read my currently ongoing short story, currently called “Bug 23691”. It currently stands at a mere 1500 words and it’s ‘finished’ as a story in its own right. However, it would be significantly more awesome as a prologue to a...
I really need to stop falling asleep on trains. Today I was woken up by the ‘doors closing’ beeps at the station I needed to get off at. It’s surprising how quickly one can get out of one’s seat, halfway down a carriage and out the door when one needs...
