Lets have a little look at what spam Akismet has caught for me recently, yes? Hey guys, Do you want to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 full movie online? It is not released yet but you can watch it already! Uh, no thanks! This has made my day. I wish all psotigns were this good. All my psotigns are this good. Whatever they are. Thanks so much with regard to giving us an update on this …
Did I mention a while ago that I had a new section on my website? I launched a project I’m calling “Game Over, Yeah!!“, with the premise being I play a game until I lose my first life. Of course, I record it and then upload it for you all to “enjoy”. Well, since then I’ve uploaded a billion* more videos! Most recently… Space Channel 5 (PS2) Freddy Hardest (Spectrum) Great Giana Sisters (C64) Why not have a look? *Actual …
Don’t worry! I’m not closing down or owt! I’m just prodding you all in the direction of a new, pointless, project I’ve been working on for the last month or so! It’s called (no, guess) “Game Over, Yeah!!” and it’s a simple premise: I record myself playing games. Until I lose a life, and then it’s Game Over, Yeah!! How long will I last? 10 minutes? An hour? 12 seconds? Who can tell! Get thee over to the shiny new …
I get some amazing comment spam on this blog and my Gaming Diary. It almost seems a shame that Akismet swallows it all up before you lovely fellows get a chance to see it. Thankfully, they’re all still archived away – so here are some of my favourites, sanitised so as not to be actual spam any more. I know this is off topic but what should I study in the autumm 2011 -? any advice pls email me ? …
As with previous years, I thought I’d do a quick round-up of the most popular search terms with which you found my site. By “you”, I don’t necessarily mean you specifically, but rather the royal “you”. As in everyone. Not that everyone found me, of course. Um. I present to you, The Top Ten Things People Searched For And Found Me Instead. Hurrah! Search Hits the loyalty awards club 1,046 surveys.co.uk scam 411 imac 24 408 happy mrs chicken 352 …
There are few people on the internet I’d consider a friend. You know, like a “proper” friend, like you’d have offline. One was Owen Allaway, also known variously as username takeup would allow, as The Rev and That Rev Chap. He’d been a part of pretty much every online community I frequent for more than 10 years, and I’d played happy fun blue sky games like Animal Crossing and Viva Pinata online with him and his wife more times than …
I’ve decided (just like that, obviously) to migrate my entire lofi-gaming site over to WordPress. Well, most of it. There are a few bits that will remain as Fabulous deKay PHP, but the vast majority of pages will see the move. Why? Because most of my site is never updated. I don’t get the time to fiddle with PHP and having a CMS instead makes updating much quicker and more likely to happen. It also means I can do it …
WordPress 3.0 is out! I’ve dangerously upgraded my blog to match, and everything seems to be working fine. It only took about 12 seconds, which was impressive. Anyway, if things are borked, this’ll be why. Please let me know!
Blogger is dead, long live WordPress! You see, Blogger announced recently that they were going to ditch FTP support for Blogger users. Since my Gaming Diary uses Blogger’s FTP features, and always has, this caused me a problem. My options were: Migrate to a Blogger subdomain (urgh) Create a lofi-gaming.org.uk subdomain and direct that to my Blogger-hosted diary (not that bad an issue, but my URL would change) Move away from Blogger entirely (to WordPress, by preference) Close the diary …
As is sometimes the way with things I see others do on their blogs, I’ve nicked this idea for a post from here. Mind you, I’m pretty sure I’ve done something similar myself before.

I need to move my blog from a MySQL 4 database to a MySQL 5 database, so I’ve started doing some stuff to achieve that. If things all go wonky, this is why! At the moment it’s on a staging database server and seems to be OK. I’ll test it for a few days then move it to it’s new home.
Seeing as it’s Christmas Eve today, I thought it time for a Christmas blog post. I have been accused, in the past, mainly by both my wife and my mother, of being bah humbug when it comes to Christmas. It’s not an entirely false accusation, if somewhat exaggerated. For quite a few years now, the “bad” side of Christmas has been the overriding factor in the runup – the shopping, and being shopped for, especially. I’m useless at figuring out …
Apparently, it was broken. But now I’ve fixed it! Thanks @jaytay 🙂
Jim did this, so I thought I’d be original and do the same. Sadly, mine aren’t so exciting. The top 10 terms people searched for to find this blog in 2008 are, in most hits first: 01254 277054 drupal register_globals 01254277054 the loyalty awards club 01792 828105 gary wilmott philips freevents drivers philips freevents 01254 fallout 3 addiction It goes to show just how many people are scam targets – those phone numbers, and the Loyalty Awards Club searches are …
