Folowing up on my deus ex2 fanboy trip, the deus ex 2 website, cunningly titled: deusex2.com.

Play.com have started taking pre-orders for Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex has to be one of my fave games of all time, the sequel looks like it could be as good, if not better.
Then I see the release date: 23/05/2003. Right before all my exams…
Check it out: Lemon Jelly
Can’t sleep
Well, I am now very full of haggis neeps and tatties, cooked by our flatmate Pete. Go Pete!
mmmmmmmmm
Also consuming two glasses of red wine and assorted whisky.
Sleepy…
Although I now have a seperates tuner, which rules.
olly out
yay!
spent about an hour last night getting moveabletype set up again. Seems to be ok now…
/me is happy
We have ninja hosting.
Spent most of last night uploading everything to the new site. Will switch dns over once I know everything is running ok.

I just found out that Michael Marshall (of Straw Men fame) is Michael Marshall Smith (dark humour sci-fi man extraordinaire) writing under a different name.
wOw
Tickets are booked
yay!
I was looking back through my webstats and picked out some of the ‘funnier’ search strings:
arse.jpg
authority or grouped or flask or islets or junky
christmas rants
edinburgh cowgate fire pictures
dumb jpg
clicking or negotiate or recital or calory or junky
eighthes or junky or ejaculated or pernicious or dissipating
protecting or instants or acquainting or eyeglasses or junky
leet hacker
both funny and worrying.
I went to yet another pointless tutorial, where the guy had prepared nothing and didn’t really have a clue.
Last weekend was mega busy.
We’ve all been playing Natural Selection, the hottest Half-Life mod out at the mo and kinda started a ‘clan‘.
We had a proper match against these guys we know. Needless to say, we lost, both games. But we gave them a good run for their money and they even said we ‘weren’t bad’. The best bit though was that the lead programmer of the mod was spectating on our game, which rocked. Even he said it was a ‘close’ game. Afterward we all hit the pub, which was fun as we were all still adrenaline fuelled and rather lively.
Yeah, so that was Saturday afternoon/evening.
Sunday was my one day of work-work, or as we like to call it: ‘Sunday Funday’. It was kinda quiet and I spent most of the day moving stuff up from the basement and serving some jolly pleasant customers. got home and realised I had to finish essay for today (Monday)
I lose.
anyhooo, essay is now finished and handed in. Had a great tutorial today, lasted ooohhh twenty minutes and the guy hadn’t prepared anything as he’d only been told 2 minutes ago he was taking us. Oh well. Such is the organisational genius of Edinburgh CS department.
High Voltage!
brilliant tune from Electric Six – Danger! High Voltage
The video is mildly disturbing:

Yeah, so I had this brilliant idea.
“I know, I’ll compile a list of all the people in Edinburgh who keep blogs. Yeah, that’ll be pretty easy.”
There are about 10 blogs I know of and about 3 trillion on live journal. I don’t want to sort through all those mofos. Maybe I’ll just do a list of ‘People in Edinburgh I know, and keep blogs’ or something.
But anyway, this is all tactics to avoid doing uni work.
PS
Found some random pictures of me on a mates site that he’s finally indexed and stuff.
Oh yeah and I keep typing ‘just’ as ‘jsut’, rather annoying.
uni starts again tomorrow…

Interest seems to be hotting up over the new William Gibson book, Pattern Recognition. It’s published on 24th April in the UK so thats like a 3 month wait, ah well.
Linkage:
– Slashdot article (beware, entering geekdom)
– Guardian, a brief mention in a ‘what to watch in 2003’ article
– Official website, brand spanking new and seems very Gaiman-ish, complete with (un-started) blog, could be interesting,
The mythical ‘sequel’ to Cryptomicon is also published ‘this year’, another one to watch. If it ever appears.
LAN Partty!

I think a bit of an update is in order. I’ve been neglecting the site a bit over xmas/new year.
Where to start…
Christmas and New Year were fun. Lots of family and friend meet ups and eating/drinking. I went home for xmas where my Grandparents had also gone to stay for a few days. Got lots of foody presents and no socks! I did get a very nice monogrammed dressing gown though, so I now flounce around the flat on a morning thinking I own the place.
Also got some cash so I need to rack my brains and think of something sensible to buy. Not PC parts.
Took a ton of photos at home and a few of our drunken debauchery at new year. Once I’ve sorted them I’ll try and put something online.
The front page is still Not Right. I keep simplifying things as I realise all the useless tat I have on here. I mean, really, do I need a poll? Do I need ‘welcome text’. I really want to try and seperate the personal areas and the ‘professional’ areas aswell. If we ever get our other hosting off the ground I’m going to get another (more sensible) domain name and shift all the web design sections there. I very much doubt prospective clients want to read how drunk I was last night…
I’m also turning into a photo/blog junky and the site needs to shift in that direction.
