Earlier in the year I endeavoured to update my frontpage site, its got a theme I haven’t been happy with and I felt like content was very thin on the ground (especially in comparison to my personal blog here). Also of course I would like to write more articles there remedying the lack of content – but as above I’d also like to have a more presentable site which is the top priority, it certainly doesn’t show off what I’m capable of.

To the right is a preview of my new theme, its a little ways off – though I am edging towards releasing a stripped back version (simply put the basic blog format, the frontpage part of which is shown here, is in addition and meant more to demonstrate what I do and present some of my work).

In anycase, progress with that will continue in due time – I’m dividing my attention up between two pieces of coursework, a side-project and of course this as my own personal project.

In other news…

Gaming wise, my time has been cut back – I haven’t had the greatest of urges to play anything, though the gracious gift of Deus Ex: Human Revolution from a gaming buddy means I am playing that through in bits and pieces. Having slogged round the first boss (not really, I’d read a tactic by accident and made use of it). Also Dungeon Defenders, which can be a bit of a time sink it seems – with some Sanctum sprinkled around too.

I’ve found myself listening to more music, and indeed opting once to just spend about an hour doing nothing but listening to music – its been a rather long time since I last did that, usually I am overloading myself with information from the web (not necessarily useful information either). Mostly I guess ‘original’ dub, I don’t follow closely but what I considered dub or dubstep is apparently a more modern flavour… I really can’t comment.

For those curious Skream, Boxcutter, Glyphic, Clubroot and Eskmo have been my choice listening. While some may not be able to work while listening to music, for me it is twofold – I enjoy music (preferring repetition and beat to vocal) it also drowns out computer fans and my ever present tinnitus.

L2R update

As a final word, my earlier Left-2-Right experience (switching from left handed mousing over to right handed) is complete. As a side effect my desk has had a shift in location within my room (I was due a change anyway) and really nothing about my gaming has changed much; at the couple of months since mark its become normal.

Ta-ta for now!
