Moving?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

last week we I finished moving ObscureInternet to Wordpress. This I new version has been dubbed “ObscureInternet V2.5″. Now the trick is to get people involved in writing for the front page again.
I’ve also been considering moving this blog from ObscureInternet to it’s own domain. This is for a number of reasons, first of all [...]

A busy month and a new camera.

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

July has proved an eventiful month. Work has taken me to Colnbrook, Attrichingham, Blackpool and Lytham (twice) and The family and I went away this weekend to Legoland for our Second (ahem) trip in the last year, getting the last drops out of annual passes before they run out.
Hopefully you’ll have noticed In the last [...]

Legoland IV – The Final Return (for now)

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I’ve done a fair few Legoland posts before, so this one is in a brief guide to our latest trip in pictures.

The weather was very hot and sunny the weekend we visited.

The good weather (and the school holidays) meant the park was very very busy.

The queues for most of the big rides where over an [...]

Boro’s Away Kit 08/09

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Middlesbrough F.C. have recently unveiled their new away kit for the 08/09 season, and in rare bit of good news regarding Boro kits, we have returned to the Black and Blue Striped kit. Which was first seen in the Jack Charlton’s Seventies era, and is a particular favourite of mine.
I’m tempted to splash out on one, even though I [...]

Thanks, Apple!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Not only do I have to install crappy Quicktime when I update iTunes (which I only use because it’s the only decent podcast client available), but you also ask me if I want to install Safari. That would not have been so bad had you not installed it anyway even though I had I clicked ‘no’.
Shove that and your overrated [...]

Wii Fit and OneHundredPushUps – No Progress

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I’ve was keeping up with my Wii Fit, every day without fail. So much so in-fact, that it was becoming a bit of chore. So I decided to take a little break from it, however because I’ve been a bit busy with work/procrastinating/travelling, I’ve gone a week with out Wii Fitting or doing my OneHundredPushUps, which is a much longer break [...]

My Top 10 Games of all Time

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Inspired by a post in the forum I decide to see if I could pick my ten favourite games of all time. It’s been very difficult choosing, but here they are in no particular order.
Half Life
The Half Life series is a definite FPS series. To create a single FPS games that is outstanding and [...]

The Wife’s Birthday

Friday, July 11th, 2008

It’s been another busy busy week, I don’t know where all the time goes. Is it July already? It’ll be Christmas next.
Since we last spoke, the wife has celebrated her birthday, so I bought her a nice and expensive (for me) half eternity ring to replace her engagement ring. She doesn’t wear the [...]

My unofficial Wii Fit Experiment

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Inspired by the Official Wii Fit Experiment I’ve been continuing to do my Wii Fit training every day (except for the two days I was away). This week for the first time, since I started training, I’ve managed to lose weight. Yes, I’ve managed to lose two pounds this week, which moves me out of [...]
