Magnet Magnetson reached threat level 18 last night, and I was informed that my progress meant I would get another robot friend. Oh, splendid! I summoned my 'bots and, sure enough, there was Cupcake.
Because I now have three battle drones, along with Buttercup, the protector 'bot, all the ...

Cor, it wasn't even 9 am before I had induced a failure in some expensive electronic equipment during formal vibration testing. It took me longer to set-up the test and update the test log than it did to run the test.
It's going to be a good day!

The sunglasses I have aren't exactly sunglasses as such. I bought ...

I had quite a full weekend, with surprisingly little gaming. I socialised with family, as it was my niece's birthday, watched some MST3K, made Jambalaya, got some Sun on the appropriately rather hot Sunday, finished reading Feersum Endjinn, and poked my head in to a couple of games.

I got to see Kenickie's reaction to my vacuum cleaner for the first time today. As Kenickie joined the household last November this is something I probably shouldn't admit.

A few months back I was having trouble with UKFSN, my hosting provider at the time. Part of the trouble was not being billed for my hosting account, which, along with other problems, pushed me to move my hosting package to Memset instead. I sent a couple of ...

Switching from the EU server to the US server in City of Villains meant I had to fiddle with my game installation a little bit. At least, it would have meant a bit of fiddling had I been running Windows. Instead, as I am running Crossover Games on ...
