Again, I went to a late showing to avoid the kids. What a difference a director makes – this is a much better film than the other two. It's a pity that Daniel Radcliffe's acting isn't improving at the same rate. But the rest of the cast reads like a Who's Who of British acting… Continue reading Harry Potter: film 3
E3 2004 thoughts…
I finished work at approx 5.15am on Wednesday, 12th May 2004. The final E3 build was done. I went home for a couple of hours of sleep and then got up and went to E3. After going through the 1.5 hour queue for badge pickup, we got in and went straight into the South Hall… Continue reading E3 2004 thoughts…
Dear Friends
Last night I went to the “Dear Friends: Music from Final Fantasy” concert at LA’s Walt Disney Concert Hall. It was a really great experience. We arrived shortly before 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Getting there was no problem at all and the parking was ample. Great venue. Many many fans were there (of course);… Continue reading Dear Friends

The problem at the moment is that we're just starting a new project – except I'm unable to start properly, waiting on code, licensing keys etc… So right now I'm writing… Continue reading Untitled

They are the only three in the list whose achievements stand on the world stage and have remained important, useful, and fundamental for centuries. Perhaps the measure of greatness was skewed by… Continue reading Untitled

Saw Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets this weekend. The late showing on Saturday night so no little kids in the cinema. Verdict: good. Main characters noticeably better at acting. And more grown up (surprise). Jason Isaacs very good as Lucius Malfoy. Good to see more of Sean Biggerstaff (Oliver Wood) who stood out… Continue reading Untitled

Today was one of those days when what I was meaning to do didn't get done because other things kept on getting in the way. (What do you mean, every day's like that?) Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive. I did get some documentation done. More thinking, more writing, less coding needed, for now. Must… Continue reading Untitled

Put shoes back on. Not bad. Will keep them on to dry out.

First, hi to Orenda SilverCougar who introduced me to this 🙂 … This morning Guildford was a lake. Literally, in places. My route to the station is a mile-and-a-quarter-ish walk down a road which has a _lot_ of opportunities for passing cars to hit me with huge gobs of water. I arrived at work basically… Continue reading Untitled
