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 :)

New cast
Here's the cast I got put on in Thursday. It's fine most of the time but has been a little bit iffey recently. We'll see how it goes. I've also put a whole load more photos up over Christmas/New Year and from the start of this year - that's me fully up to date now with photo uploads since last August :) For a quick laugh look at this photo - note the spelling...

Website updates
I've been "making the most" of my resurgent sleep problem (notice the time of this post) to upgrade/fix the photos element of the website. In practice, this now means that our honeymoon photos from the gorgeous island of Skye are viewable now, and I have also uploaded a collection of photos of what we got up to between our wedding in August last year and Christmas. We had some fun times. The only slight bug at the moment is sometimes the "back" button doesn't quite work as you'd expect, but it's a minor thing.
Also, in case it escaped your attention, there are now some "labels" listed after entries I make here. This is so you can search for entries that match certain labels. It's part of the all-new blogger which apparently includes lots of other cool new things which I haven't tried out yet.
