This exercise things hard work
by Stephen on Dec.09, 2005, under Rant
Theres just no fun in runing on the spot for half an hour, what do you acheive other than tiring yourself out? Its not as if you get anywhere, the only gym activity I’ve tried that you actually get anywhere is swimming but thats only about 20m away from where you started then you have to turn back and you finish off where you started so didnt actually get anywhere again.
It all seems like a lot of effort to not actaully gain anything. Ok yes you get fitter but the more you do it the easier it gets so you have to do more to get the same benifit, it all gets too repetative and boring.
Sick of Words Spelling and Grammar colours
by Stephen on Nov.30, 2005, under Rant
I really want to change these colours to ones that actually mean something to me, but there apears to be no option for it.
Being colourblind doesnt usually bother me as a developer, you just give me colour codes and I use them, or you get what I think looks good if I have to do anything arty.
Run your old DOS programs
by Stephen on Nov.28, 2005, under Tech Tips
I cant think of many old dos programs that I’d actually want to run anymore but some of my older games wont run under Win XP or Wine on Linux, so to play them again I had to find something that could do it, I found Dosbox, its a x86 emulator running a copy of dos, it’ll run under linux, windows, and mac. So far all I’ve used it for is to play Worms and Doom 2 as I havnt read the instructions yet to find out how to get the CD drive to work properly for games like C&C

What Video Game Character Am I?
by Stephen on Nov.23, 2005, under Quiz
I drive fast, I turn fast, I do everything fast. I even breakfast. I tend to confuse people with my sudden changes of heart. Sometimes I even confuse myself, which tends to cause problems. What Video Game Character Are You? Thanks to Phil for this one too
