Post-PC Sillyness

One is either talking about Political Correctness or Personal Computers – and while the former is a whole topic unto itself, I’ll be talking about the latter. You see, I gaze in amusement often enough about a “Post-PC world” – an exercise in buzzword bingo if ever I saw one; usually in reference to tablet [...]

Planning Ahead

I have quite a busy schedule over the next month, two deadlines within days of each other are causing quite the high level of pressure; though I’m confident I will pull through – especially if I keep chipping away at the major hurdle, my practical project. Beyond my work, I’m also keeping one eye on [...]

The Trolling Brain

I’m of the mindset that if a feature offers itself useful, you should use it. RSS feeds and bookmarks being the major one for browsers; the former allows me to view things that are likely to interest me which are newly posted, the latter allows me to keep a handy list of sites which can [...]

Progress Update

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 [...]

Maybe I should just stay ‘schtum’

Not so long ago, my HD4850 died a horrible death; so horrible I decided upgrading to a HD5870 and getting a new Power Supply Unit might be a fantastic idea – given my history with power supplies this seemed like a good idea. Sure enough, they both came but I have been having issues left, [...]

Things & Things

Just a general update, I haven’t managed to do much in the way of video recording since getting my new rig. There hasn’t been much in the way of gaming. Unfortunately Test Drive Unlimited 2 operates quite poorly with AMD cards in general, so the likelihood of recording that game in particular is quite slim. [...]

Sharing Time! #1

A month ago I started following a Youtube channel called farfromsubtle (or Video Games Awesome); a group of 4 who play a selection of video games, of course the obvious attraction right now is their Minecraft series. So that is always worth a subscription, they cover other games too. While they are awesome, they’ve also [...]

New Toy: Logitech USB Desktop Mic

A year or two ago xfire released the ability to record ingame footage, that spurred me to try out recording. It worked okay, but some technical problems always set me back. This year I bought Fraps around February time and have done a couple videos using it, finding it somewhat superior to the xfire option. [...]

Phew, can I get explosions please?!

I’ve had one helluva busy Monday, moving content from an old HTML (some PHP) site into a new WordPress site complete with new theme. I’ve spent a good 6 months on it, not because I’ve been hard at work developing it mind – its part of the small family business, I wanted to get out [...]

Time Travel from 2011

I’m not really into my history, though I do believe we could all learn lessons from it. So my interest is passing, except in the case of computer history; and our developments from the 1990′s. Unfortunately, while I existed during that decade – I feel like I missed out.. I was far too contempt with [...]

Whose that Geezer?

That geezer would be Matt, aka Tower, RavenIII or more recently TowerRaven. He makes websites, plays games and loves music.

This site is his blog, where sometimes he talks about himself in the third person. Welcome, you poor soul!
