Another Long Delay

Friday, March 18, 2011

I’m not the greatest at actually UPDATING this thing am I? Its not like I have nothing to put on here. I acquire new stuff often, I’ve traveled, I have ideas. I suppose I  just forget.

But yes, enough critising myself. What has been happening?

I went to Las Vegas, had lots of fun over there. Sad to be back at work.

I bought a new camera, Canon S95 for those curious, and have taken photos.

I still have not finished business/calling card design, I threw out the plan I had basically.

Ive bought lots and lots of comics. I’ll probably review what I get each week/month/whenever at some point, I read enough for it.

I started playing Rift (MMO) as I needed something new to play. Very fun game.

And I’ve decided to kick the energy drink addiction and go back to coffee, I don’t need the sugar  and the effects it has on my sanity from crashing all the time. So I went and bought a new Aeropress coffee maker and steel filter for it. Ill get some more info on that for a later post.

I think thats all I need to say for the moment, Ill say more later on a specific topic next time.

Space and Salvage

Monday, November 1, 2010

I’ve decided rather than to write another event in my occult framework, I’m going to revisit a scene from a more sci-fi world frame that I sort of forgot about.

I may put it here.

<Story/Script goes here>

November.

Monday, November 1, 2010

Ahh November, a new month and a new post. This week will mark yet another year of being a sysadmin and a further and further drift towards being a Roy. I am lucky with the date I started the job is helpfully remembered by the following,

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

A rather simple rhyme to remember. Even more so since I don’t particularly mind V for Vendetta. I don’t dislike the job or anything but I do with for some more complex projects that involve hardware.

Im still working on my calling card design, it’s getting there and I shall have to get it printed up when I think I’ve got a final design.

I do need to buy some more clothes, need some pants with some decent hard wearing material that can resist a lot of abrasion.

And I’ve entered the world of Patronage, a respectable endeavorer for one at 25.

And yet another example of my remembering.

Thursday, October 28, 2010

Something will go here. It may just be the simple entry right now about my desire to make a calling card.

At some point, knowing too much about fonts makes things hard to do.

The slight delay that was unintended.

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

So it seems despite my best efforts of actually updating this, It slipped my mind. At least 3 weeks isn’t as bad as some of my delays have been in the past.

Arkham went messily, still need to sort out all the cards from that into their respective games. Shadows over Camelot and Ticket to Ride played smoothly though. Woo. Need to buy Ticket to Ride actually. Its a good game.

Had the thought last night of wanting a sword, not a cheap metal display piece, but something functional, even if only for sparing. Rather amusingly it seems to many people.

Loving the comic series Scarlet, bit sad its a bimonthly as the waits for issues are a bugger. But its something to look forward to none the less. Doesn’t hurt that she rather looks like someone either.

Now a slight series of  connected thoughts.

Got a new leather bag, love it alot. I think its going to influence my next set of clothing purchases and attitude overall actually.

Turned 25. Didn’t get half of what I wanted to get done by this point in my life done, but due to a very good day, no regrets that I will dwell on.

Bought an ebook reader. Sony PRS-650. Rather like it, gives me stuff to read when I’m out. Easier than looking at the iphone for sure.

Got a haircut. Well, a clean up.

And new shaving soap’s. I think if I ever started buying cologne/perfume itd be for the smell rather than to wear. I’m not completely sure.

Need a way to visualise photos i want to take, pity i cant draw for shit.

My Annoyance of Today.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

US labor day holiday. It…. has delayed my comics for the week. As I’m taking Thursday off work and in town anyway that day, it would have been nice to be able to pick up this weeks pull bag that day. Alas, the shipment has been delayed till Friday.

Bollocks.

Now I COULD always shifted my day off work to Friday, but I already arranged for things to do with people, and I don’t like making people have to change plans if I could help it. Oh well, I suppose I’ll get the comics NEXT Thursday then.

Now for Un-annoyances.

Woo. Its an Arkham Horror week for me, got some games lined up for Saturday with friends, play with some of the expansions, maybe mix and match them or play them pure. Either way, I’m sure we will all die. DIE I tell you, DIE. Or go insane. Either way, fun will be had.

Fridge full of lamb shanks…. Mhmmmm Lamb Shanks… Dinner for Arkham night that will be. Most likely in a red wine, onion, garlic and tomato sauce.

Happy Pretty Lady. Nuff said.

Technofetishism – Upgrade and Reboot

Tuesday, September 7, 2010

Hello all out there, I know no one but spam bots is looking at this these days. But pretty old me is back on the 2nd domain rather than fragmented over multiple blogs, and I’m here to stay.

After 2 years cruising around the web, I’ve returned home. To do what I do. Etc, etc, etc…

Now I’ll give a breakdown for those interested of whats happening to my other sites that some of you MAY of read in the past.

http://twilightsrun.net/

The First and the Original, to never be reborn unless someone invents time travel and stops that bloody books series :) . theres a few places Ive still gotta change my name at cause of it.

http://www.arcotexchange.com/ and its family

One that may become active at some point in the future, but for now will be retired and just become an alias of TechFet. While I’m still a classic fan, I don’t to seperate myself out to mutli-sites to look after before.

http://www.drunkpixie.com/

Not brewing enough atm to justify its own blog. So will be absorbed.

http://www.xenofetish.com/

Child site of here, ill just put my writings more public I think.

Other domains Im not doing anything with at all.

Steamandsmog.com is one of these. As is a couple others. What ill do with them is unknown as theres not really any content there atm.

This site will now become my primary site for sharing of info, cool links, what ever. And I hope you all enojy when and if you do start reading it.

Cool Things – Lights

Monday, September 15, 2008

Now, this is a triple entry of 3 lighting things I currently own that should be getting used with my photography now and then. And will be used with it next time I’m doing stuff. These three lights are a lovely double tube UV lamp, a brightly strobing strobe light and a couple of high power IR flood lamps. What I would want with a UV lamp, a strobe lamp and IR floods are a good question, but this is me we are talking about. Since these 3 lamps are nothing particularly difficult to find anyway, I wont bother with linking each one specifically on its entry, but just say the UV tubes we’re bought from Jaycar and the IR floods and Strobe were aquired off eBay.

Cool Thing – Laserpod

Thursday, September 11, 2008

Ahh a blast from my gadget past, 3 years back now I think I picked up one of these Laserpod’s (not from thinkgeek however, the place I bought mine from has since closed down.) A nice futuristic light source consisting of blue and uv leds, a reflector, a plastic faceted sphere, a motor, and some lasers. A bit like a trippy planetarium but with less light points and a blue background. When I got the box however, a well designed box at that, I knew id quite likely like whats inside. Very plain box that is, white all over, bar a fluro orange trim on the edges and Laserpod written on the front. Nice and simple, not trying to convince you to buy with fancy words and flashy pictures.

Camera Things – Filters

Wednesday, August 20, 2008

Now, since I have just talked about various colored eyewear that I own, I thought I’d mention a few of the filters that my camera wears now and then. Unfortunately at this point, pictures will be unavaliable until my camera is back in the field (she’s in pieces atm, which I will talk about later on, as it involves technology and is rather cool surgery.) Now since my predeliction towards the unseen is definatly there with the exotic (IR, UV photographu) or the slightly esoteric with mounting a pinhole to my camera, the filters that will be mentioned will be of these categorys.
