Have you ever fancied having a go at the old circus knife-throwing? No. Neither had I, but having had a go at this game from Mousebreaker it is now a lot more tempting. Not only can you choose whether to be a male or female knife-thrower, but you can choose which one of 21 celebrities […]

I love the announcement at the Joggle site: The server was down this week because it was infected with bad software and had to be punished.
Game On
November 17th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Technology
The Science Museum have an exhibition called Game On. Looks like fun: it is dedicated to the history of computer games from the earliest, right up to the latest. It is £8.50 but you do have the opportunity to play lots of the games. I think that if I went I would not get any […]
Kakuro

When The Guardian did a bit of a redesign of their G2 section, putting a Countdown section on the back page I decided to have a crack at the Kakuro puzzle. I tried one once before, with no success, but thought I would have another go – now that the Sudoku is no longer much […]

I don’t think comments are working here at the moment. It might be connected to the problem B4L is having with its forum – I think we share the same host, and if they have botched a php upgrade it could be affecting me too. I don’t know how long it has been like this […]
Duke Nukem
October 15th, 2006 · Comments Off on Duke Nukem · Technology
If there is one reason above all others why I have not written much here for a few days, it has to be Duke Nukem. The other day I found out about EDUke32 and downloaded it. This is a re-write of Duke Nukem for Windows XP/2000 and its brilliant. You have to have your original […]
Bloggers4Labour Puzzle
October 9th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Life
Just to pass the time, here is a Bloggers4Labour puzzle, based on the meet-up at last year’s party conference in Brighton. Its only a bit of fun, and non-competitive… but I shall be put out if anyone beats my best of 326 moves in 3mins and 6 seconds… The photo here should help a bit.
A link for Mr Wonga & Neil
February 21st, 2006 · Comments Off on A link for Mr Wonga & Neil · Music
On Friday I mentioned a website with a nifty name-that-tune competition and said I would give you the URL, well this is it I hadn’t been there for ages. Just had a go and got 10/10 on Genesis, 5/10 for Metallica, 10/10 for Squeeze, and then I tried Baaba Maal and it all crashed… In […]
Happy Christmas in spite of Microsoft
December 26th, 2005 · Comments Off on Happy Christmas in spite of Microsoft · Life
We finally had a happy Christmas in spite of Microsoft. Jayne likes those role-playing detective games on her computer (CSI, Gabriel Knight, etc.) and I got her some Nancy Drew games as a present to keep her going. There are about a dozen games in the series and and I figured it would be a […]
Age of Empires III
November 9th, 2005 · Comments Off on Age of Empires III · Technology
The other day I downloaded a demo of Age of Empires III, so I have spent the last few evenings playing with it, even though I only really downloaded it to see if my PC was capable of running it before forking out for the full version. The answer has to be a qualified yes. […]
