So yeah, last night Tuatha aka Morgan took me to Molly’s Irish Pub and we had a few rounds.

Blog Romance

Thursday, October 17th, 2002

Last night I met my long lost twin sister, Peaches from RunAwaySquirrels.com. OK, so she’s not really my twin sister, but she might as well be – We chatted for over 2.5 hours and believe me, it was scary how much we have in common. Peaches bet me to posting the highlights of the chat on her site. Believe me now?

Down to business

my business card

So, yeah, I’m Lead Developer for Instinct. Been so since about Feburary, but now it’s official cos I gotz the business card! Cheers to that funky Monkeyjay for the design, and that funky Gareth guy for the logo.

I’ve been mucking round with WAP. Here’s a little WAP game I made a while back. You’ll need a WAP capable phone, or a WAP Emulator. I made it cos we were trying to get in bed with Telecom, but ended up flagging cos they are so square. They wanted to focus on WAP, which really is a non-event. Meh, the game has a mini-wow factor. If Mufasa (my boss at instinct — yes the truth comes out) lets me, I’ll let you guys have the source code.

Having a mobile is pretty sweet now. If you really want to know, my phone number is on the business card above :D . Call me if you want, I dare ya! I was thinking about ringtones, and how people like to show them off (yeah, i’m talking from my own bragging). I got the theme from Tetris for my ringtone. Why do people like myself want to expose some hapless human being into listening to my ringtone, especially when they probably won’t recognise the tune? Mind you, Monkeyjay has ‘Funky Town’ for his ringtone… everyone loves it, and hates it cos it sticks in your mind like hot tar on your jandals.

Did a bit of snooping: found this page of KDL variants. I’m not on IM tonight – left my zip disk with trillian on it at my day job.

Kill Dr Stupid Rules

Tuesday, October 8th, 2002

Bert, SmileyChris, Kodiak and I played Kill Dr Lucky the last two nights. Bert took the first night, and Kodiak won last night. I keep doing these excellent card combos to attempt a murder on the lucky one, only to realise that someone in another room can see me. So that started a house rule that tabled cards are not returnable to your hand. I’ve done that three times now. Smiley and Bert would crack up laughing when I did it. I have to laugh at myself for being so stupid. Then Bert went and did it and I had my turn at laughing! I tell you, board games are better in real life than say on the computer – the computer will tell you when you can’t do something, not other players… :)
