So it’s been a little while! I’ve been taking it easy a bit more since deciding to do more SOGC and IT services work (ironic, but hey it’s delicious). I’ve since been very fortunate to find myself departing the life of a bachelor too, and am currently catching up with life so to speak. In the time since my last post update, some work has been done on the SOGC website, but only minimally whilst I’ve been discussing...

I’ve been, for a long time, a tinkerer with the SOGC website. There’s never really been a single ‘version’ of the SOGC site that I’ve been wholly happy with, and admittedly I doubt there ever will be. But I’d venture so far as to say I’m nearing the point where I’m grudgingly satisfied. With the latest iteration of the site, ‘Sparda’, I’ve designed an SOGC site, and it’s got...

So, the last few days (and in fact, as I type this post…!) I’ve made the jump over to Ubuntu as my primary desktop for working on and some minor gaming (lol minecraft). It’s actually proved to be quite valid so far; I haven’t been unable to do anything that I’m not normally able to on a Windows PC, short of firing up a game and playing it. Linux currently handles: Everything website development...

So the LAN was a success I think. Sure there are things to fix, things to learn, and certainly more things to do. But as LANs go, this one was alright. As my last post said, back in the saddle. It felt good to be running an event again, even though this was one smaller than I’d have liked, I think it was a good deal for a first event. Our venue was actually supportive! Which is amazing - one mistake that I made in the past with previous...

Today (as it technically is the 21st) – I’ll be running an SOGC LAN again; it feels like it’s been ages since the last one, although it’s only been a little while ago. It feels right that there’s a feeling of having closed the older SOGC events in the past, and renewed the SOGC with this site design and rapid work in the last couple of weeks with the full site design release, comfortable layout, and heavily...

Today’s mum’s birthday, thought I’d just make a post and say happy birthday to her!

So, I went out with Amy tonight, to check out a Roller Derby match up in the Newcastle area (Gateshead I believe…?) – and it was pretty snazzy! We didn’t get decent seats, and we had to stand for the full match, but the turnout was great and even though it was a fairly small match, there was a great vibe. I went in with very very little knowledge of Roller Derby, and came away knowing at least what was happening and being able...
