Or so it says. We’ve just bought some small footprint keyboards at work for use where the current small footprint keyboards keep being broken. You know, keys snapped off, that sort of thing. So this is one of the keyboards we’re trialling. I mean, it even says “Virtually Indestructible” on it, so it must be pretty sturdy, yes? And it bends! Sadly, it’s crap. The rubber holding the “keys” on is about half a micron thick, and you can easily …
Racked up another couple of achievements today, since I finally got the full air stats. I also found a few more goals to get, improved on a couple, and found loads of gaps in the school and funpark areas. None of this, however, knocked my rank any higher than the 6 it was already at. Bah.
Nooo! Professor Pester came into my garden and killed my blinged up Cinnamonkey! He was worth fahsands as well, and I was about to get him to mate. Rubbish. Then a Ruffian can into my garden and filled in so much of my pond with vomit mud that I couldn’t romance my Swananas or my Dragumflies. Also rubbish! Then I bought a Rashberry, and it instantly vanished! Even more rubbish! But at least I got my Swananas to breed, finally, …
Only managed to improve on a few goals today, and finished one new one, before spending absolutely ages manuallying down the hill outside the Funpark, and then getting air in the bowl to the left of the inside of the Funpark. This bumped my Manual stats up to full, finally, but I still have a good 20 minutes or more of airtime to grab for maximum stats.
Well, those of us in the know, already knew that the DS was steaming ahead of the PSP in terms of sales, but Eurogamer provides the proof. It’s outselling 2.5 to 1, it seems. Gosh. I could go into the reasons why, but that would just cause fights. DS sales top 2m in UK
Another dull day in Cheese today. Nothing was going on at all, and even Redd’s visit providing me with a Frog Woman Pole (or something equally ridiculous), there’s not really much to write about. Except Boone is ill, the stupid monkey.
To start with today, I went round improving on a few goals and completing some I hadn’t yet attempted. In the process of doing this, I managed to get ranked up to 6. By the look of things, it seems that I need to have most, if not all, of my goals up to Pro standard for Rank 4, and Sick standard (not going to happen!) for Rank 1. After that, I boosted my stats some more. Getting up a …
As part of my job as a systems manager, I’m often looking at long lists of names of people who are on the network. When I originally set the network up, I decided to put half the 1300+ users on one server, and half on the other, to reduce the load and stuff. My criteria on how the split was to be done was by surname. And so it came to pass that surnames A-M are on one server, and …
I’m in Project 8! OK, so I’m only 7th in Project 8, but I’m still there. I completed the challenges Tony set me (which were actually pretty easy), and made it to Rank 8 (and saw the credits and stuff), then did some more goals (including two Pro Challenges) which bumped me up to 7th. After that, I switched to Free Skate mode and did a few timed runs. Having found an ideal spot in the Funpark (up and to …
Rank 9! For some reason, I went straight from rank 26-ish to 9 just for completing a Pro Challenge. Very odd. I’ve also unlocked the Fun Park and done a load of the goals in there. Now I think I need to find Tony somewhere…
Managed to get myself not one, but two Swananas today. They’re ace, but sadly, they kept fighting with my Quackberry. That was solved by selling it so they couldn’t. Once you’ve made a pinata resident, you can “buy” another one anyway, so it’s no real loss (and I want it in my other garden so I can feed it to my Pretztail anyway). My bullrushes all matured, and I sold them for 1120 coins each. I then sold a load …
Racked up a few more rank upgrades today, finishing another Pro challenge, another Classic goal set (on Pro, anyway), and also improving some more existing goals. Now I’m up to rank 54! I then had a go online, hosting a load of Graffiti games. I won the first couple, one of which gave me the “Beat a Developer” achievement. That was easier than I expected it was going to be! I didn’t will all of my games (of which there …
K.K. Slider night again. This evening, he played me K.K. Gumbo. After listening to that, I went off weeding, and then chatting with my animals. Boone appears to have vanished already. He didn’t send me a letter, but his house has gone, and isn’t even on the map. Bizarre. None of my other animals had much to say, although a few were asleep.
Since I now want to start attracting some water-based species of pinata, such as Quackberries and Swananas, I decided to start a new garden. It turns out that you carry your game level, tools, money and access to items and pinatas over to any other gardens you create, so it isn’t like starting from scratch entirely. After beating the hard soil down in my new garden (which took ages), I dug a huge pond, which takes up about 40-50% of …
Well, I finally upgraded to Blogger Beta today, which will affect parts of this site. In fact, I hope it won’t affect parts of the site, as Blogger seemed to suggest it would be OK. I’m slightly concerned about my custom template breaking things though. My main reason for jumping to the beta was I wanted to use tags for my posts. Actually, Blogger calls them “labels”, probably due to having already defined “tags” as things you stick in your …
