Don’t you even DARE, Sega
Dare RUIN it, I mean. I bought a MegaCD just to play this. And it was aces. So ruin it, and I’ll hate you forever. Even more than I do currently, I mean.

Xenoblade Chronicles
Note: This is a sponsored post This Wii game was completely off my radar as it seemed like it was one of those Japan-only RPGs that would never see light of day on these shores. But then I found it was coming out in Europe. And I suddenly got very interested. It even reached number 7 on the all formats chart this week, which is quite an achievement! NEED.
Sky can’t read
At least, it seems that way. I sent them a message via their help pages: This isn’t a complaint, I just can’t find any other way of emailing you. Since Ofcom have now forced BT to reduce the cost of their wholesale product to resellers (such as yourself, with Sky Connect which I use), I was wondering when you are going pass that price reduction on to customers, and by how much our bills will be reduced? BT have a …
From the dawn of time: Making Clogs
Found this today, floundering on my old Google Video account, so transferred it to YouTube. And so, I present to you, a man making clogs! I made the video in 2004 when visiting Zaanse Schans, Netherlands.

The PS3, Two Months On
You may recall that just over two months ago, my brain became sick and I bought a Playstation 3. A 160GB Playstation 3 Slim, to be more specific. Even though I’ve hated everything Sony have ever made, and after the mistake I made getting a PSP, I promised myself I’d never buy a PS3. So I bought a PS3. Buh. Now I’ve had it a bit longer, and PSN is back up properly (sort of), and I’ve downloaded some games …
Powershell preventing Server 2003 to 2008 upgrade
I came to upgrade one of our servers from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 today. Unfortunately, the upgrade failed in the first stages because the compatibility checker declared Windows Powershell 1.0 incompatible with Server 2008, and told me to uninstall it before upgrading. Easier said than done, because there’s no uninstaller. Well, of course there is an uninstaller, but it’s not in Add/Remove Programs where you’d expect it. Even if you show updates. Of course, many uninstallers are kept on …
Let’s Play! Valhalla
This came up in a conversation on ugvm this week (in Tuesday’s A-Z of Games thread, under V, obviously) and generally although people remembered it nobody had a clue what to do. Lets see if we can fix that, yes? No instructions. No clues. No nuffin. Go!

Haunted
I suggested to this fella here that his One a Day post yesterday should be about things that scared him as a child, and his resultant ghost story reminded me of this one from my childhood, which I thought I’d share. Grey Lady. There’s always a Grey Lady. Friend of mine lived in a huge, but run down, manor house in the middle of nowhere, and often over the summer I’d hang out there, messing about in the boat on …

WordPress 3.2 update
So it seems nothing major broke with the update to WP3.2, which is good as I’m hearing lots of horror stories from other people – databases being chewed, themes being broken, Server 500 errors all over the place… nothing like that here yet. Mind you, I’ve not posted anything (on the blog at least) since the upgrade so there’s still time. Sorry about the lack of updates recently, incidentally, but there’ll be more soon!
