Surly Wombat

Off to see Hellboy 2 tonight, they running one night only previews couple of weeks before it offically opens. Dunno why but YAY. Loved the first one, hope this one is as good.

Empire magazine is running a “best 500 movies ever” vote. They ask for the top ten, and since its a suitably “bloggy” type of thing to do I’m also putting mine up here.

Sometime I might say why they are what they are :).

As i write this I’m playing Warcraft, and no M not World of Warcraft. I’m playing Warcraft 2 in a little dosbox, running DOSBox.

I’d heard about DOSBox of course, but I didn’t realise how good it is. It was really straight forward to set up - easier in fact than dos was back in the day. Get this - war2 found my sound card first try!!. I’ve got buckets of games and it’s nice to be able to dust them off.. now I just need to find my Syndicate Wars CD.

It’s another bi-decadely update! Decided to update wordpress, have been hugely disappointed with the speed of this site, least on the admin side. I run another site on this hosting and it runs along nicely so I don’t know what the trouble is. Maybe it was just the massive amount of spam comments the db was having to keep track of, i’ve cleared them out a bit now. Frankly that is the thing that puts me off blogging the most - the admin. Maybe its time to try something other than WP or find plugins that will deal with the comment issues.
