Photos and free PC stuff

Hi there, I'm still alive and in fact have been updating the photo section somewhat. I seem to have completely missed out the second half of 2007 previously, so that's all up to date now, and I'm up to about half way in 2008, so still a bit behind, but I'm working on it... It seems I took about twice as many photos in 2008 than 2007, and there's an awful lot of not-very-good photos along the way that I've had to sift through. There's still some less-than-great photos that made it to the website; but they tend to be when there was nothing better to captures a particular moment or scene or such-like. It also seems my camera loves getting red-eyes in its photos, to a really large degree...

Also, I have some FREE STUFF which is free to a good home.
- a 17" monitor, it's a full-sized CRT (not flat screen), and has two points against it - one is that it is covered with apple stickers around the side and the second is that everything is slightly tinged green (I used it for years and didn't really notice this...) SO perhaps not the sort of thing you want to watch movies on with people, but it's still a fully-functional monitor.
- 3 computer games...
--- Half Life 2, quite simply one of the best first person shooters ever
--- Civilization IV, brilliant turn-based strategy game where you get to create your own empire and run it as you wish
--- Dawn Of War - a real time strategy game based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe

These 3 are all great games - if you don't believe me then look them up on metacritic which is an independent rankings website - it pulls ranks from other websites and gives them an average score. The above 3 scored 96, 94 and 86 respectively. In fact, I liked them so much I bought expansions packs for them, which is pretty much why I have a spare legal copy of all 3 available.

So if you're interested in any of the above, do get in contact and I'll see what I can do :)
