If you’re going to bother and make an iPhone app…
Please take the time to create a unique icon for it – not some stock photo rip off. I couldn’t help but notice that the ‘Vicinity’ app icon artwork can be found at iStockphoto.com. Perhaps iStock should open up an iPhone app icon format?
Google humanness test
You know those Capture things at the bottom of registration forms. They REALLY annoy me sometimes. But Google, how could you stoop so low yourselves and provide illegible cryptic logos to try and decipher. I’m human, but that doesn’t mean I can decipher things that are indecipherable.

Representing Wales, in the blue car, it’s Patric KILLME!
I thought I’d use my DJing psuedoname for my XBOXlive account. Unfortunately it wouldn’t allow enough letters so I changed my surname to KILLME!, purely for the irony value. I’m pretty good you see, some would say in my finest moments I am amazing. Anyway, they are skills i’ve developed over the best course of 12 years and its great fun mashing people online. I recently got hooked on the GRID demo. I LOVE this game! I
I come first.. a lot.
can’t believe they bothered to add an online aspect to the demo, but i’m glad they did. IMO, one of the best aspects of this game is a really simple thing, and something I don’t understand isn’t default everywhere. People are very patriotic. If they see a big menu with hundreds of flags on it, asking them to select theirs.. they WILL take the time to find it. I was so pleased to find my very own Welsh flag on the demo. The rivalry between the Engish, Scottish, Irish and Welsh is legendary and it seems to play a bit factor in the online banter.
So, just for the record please take the time to look at this screenshot. 10 players competing, 7 Englishmen, one Scott and an American. I beat them all. In fact I have about 30 shots of me at the top of the table, but I won’t bore you with them. 
I guess I’m an Elitist
I hate the idea of being an Eliteist. It conjours up images of Nazi’s in my head and I can’t seem to get around it. However, I cannot deny that I am very patriotic to specific things if they pass all of my rigerous tests. I’m a wannabe evangelist for anything remotely trying to be different or cool. Or just useful or tasty. It doesn’t matter.
My work colleague prefers Operation Flashpoint to Call of Duty 4. Nuff said!
At work we have a particularly Elitist colleague. Some examples would be snubbing all ‘new’ videogames because they will never compare to Operation Flashpoint, a game nearing a decade old. Or maybe not wanting to eat “anything from the sea”. Or even any vegetables other than peas. In away I admire him – it must make his life a nightmare for no real reason!
I am deeply involved with computers. They are my tools. There seems to be two main types of tools available, and I stupidly chose the mass appeal option; Windows. For over 5 years I baffled myself with it until I took the plunge to try this ‘Mac’ thing. This was probably a defining moment in my career. It allows me to be so accurate digitally. With Windows you never knew if you were going to return and find your house burned down. Thanks to turning to the dark side i’ve managed to keep a record of everything for the last 8 odd years. If I was still using a PC this blog would be much more boring without pictures, files, downloads etc. In fact there simply would be no blog.
