Time for an update of the comics links

As my tastes have changed somewhat and there are probably many dead links.

Cleanup coming soon!

Strange to see who I was three years ago...

So I got a random comment on my last post, decided it's time to start this thing up again.

So what have I been up to?

I moved cities three times and ended up back where I started.

I have tried my hand at a few different jobs and ended up back with my original employer, although in a different division.

Not doing much in the way of art these days, got into Warhammer 40K but haven't painted any minis in several months.

More to come anon...

Overdue for an update...

So here's another post just to show that I'm still alive and kicking...

My current rig...

This is my desk as it currently looks - click the pic for the full image!

Not in this pic are the Canon flatbed scanner or the PC itself.

Angsty Magnetic Poetry

I came up with this little gem at a friend's party last night while playing with their Magnetic Poetry set.

I am going to have to get my own set now!

Happy Whatever!

Just a token post to say Happy whatever it may be that you are celebrating this season...

AAAARGH! (or "Adventures in Upgrading")

Lesson re-learned the hard way:

Never run a BIOS upgrade through Windows with 5 other apps running.

I can't believe I forgot and did that to myself...
Killed my old mainboard, it won't even POST.

On the up-side, I have a new Pentium D Dual core PC now!

So there I was installing Windows and I kept getting copy errors and random blue-screens.

Turned out my brand new 1 GB stick of DDR2 533 was faulty.
The computer shop were too swamped with other jobs to look at my PC, so I bought another one and swapped it over to prove to the computer shop that it was the RAM.

So they accepted it was the RAM.
Even better, they swapped both sticks for me for DDR2 667 even though it's more than the board needs as it cost them the same amount.

In other hardware news, I also have a Logitech MX5000 Cordless Bluetooth Desktop.
All I can say is, very snazzy! I might post some pics later...

Just bought my first webcam!

Here it is, cute little thing isn't it?
