….Is the very first thing printed in my copy of Reaper Man.ย  I suppose it’s fitting, that Reaper Man was the first one that came to hand. It’s Reaper man that contains one of the more profound insights into the duration of a single human life: no-one is finally dead… Continue reading →

I haven’t played anything in weeks, if not months. I’ve been working away from home since mid May, and during that time I’ve barely touched anything. Instead I’ve been reading about games, keeping up with releases, but over the last couple of weeks I’ve instead been caught up in DRAMA…. Continue reading →

For about 3 years now, I’ve been looking to buy a classic British sports car. This desire was spawned by seeing how much fun Matt was having with his MG. There’s something really special about “classic” cars, there’s an aesthetic you just don’t tend to see in modern cars. So… Continue reading →

I’m still rubbish at Dark Souls

Since working out that I was trying to take on enemies that were FAR beyond my current character, I’ve been having an easier time of things. I can actually progress through the Undead Burg, and kill a few enemies at a time before getting wasted. There’s something very satisfying about… Continue reading →

I picked up Dark Souls: Prepare to Die edition in the autumn steam sale. I tried to play it with keyboard and mouse, and found the controls to be decidedly lacking. I resolved to wait, until I could get a gamepad to play with instead. I’ve been wanting to get… Continue reading →

My parent’s bitch, “Ted” just whelped. It was her first litter, and she had 3 live pups. Since the father is called Bill, they watched the film “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” in preparation. The dogs didn’t pay any attention. After the first two plopped out (the runt was DOA),… Continue reading →

In our previous adventure, Matt and I defeated the dragon and rescued a fake princess who turned into a giant spiderย  managed to get some meaningful data from both the gyrometer and the accelerometer.

A long time before we did our session where we controlled some servos, we had a session where we were reading sensor data. We’ve tried this a number of times, but this instance was where we actually started to get worthwhile data, and we could interpret it correctly. We are… Continue reading →

Last Sunday, Matt came to visit. He brought his MAN TIN along, which is filled with micro controllers and breadboards and miscellaneous wires and a machine that goes “Ping”. We’ve not done any UAV work for a very long time, in fact the last time we did any was last… Continue reading →
