The Ramblings of Octavo

There are many games out there at the moment that I’m dying to get my hands on, it’s crazy.

First of all, I’m quite keen to get my hands on Star Wars Battleground 2, despite it being a bit old by now. I saw an old trailer for it the other day and realised what I missed. I’m currently re-playing Uplink in my spare time - such a simple, yet engaging game. I wish there were more hacking games like this!

The Spore Creature Creator, has primed me for the release of Spore later this year - that game looks like FUN! GTA IV is coming out for the PC at the end of the year, which is also going to rock big time!

Too many cool games, not nearly enough time.

this is a test post. wordpress doesn’t display well on my phone but i can still post… i think

Things are starting to look up again. Work is soon going to get interesting again and planning for the wedding is going well.

As you can see, I have a totally unique and very cool theme up! All thanks go to Ibis - she took the best features from two different themes and spent several hours carefully coding them into a single new theme that really does have the best of both worlds. It’s called Black grass and I’m really very happy with it!

I’m also busy uploading some new plugins that I hope will make the site more interesting and accessible.

Please ignore the comments below - I have installed threaded comments and need to modify the CSS a bit to fit in with this theme, so they’re staying there until I’m done

With the move to octavo.za.net and the upgrade to wordpress 2.6 has come a renewed interest in my blog. I’m not promising anything, but you’ll probably see a few more posts from me in the days to come.

The upgrade process was not completely pain free - I lost all my categories and had to manually edit the database to reinsert them - I think I got them all right…

The current theme, while lovely may also change / be tweaked.

The content though will remain largely what you’ve come to expect from this blog — a mix of things, depending on what’s got my attention at the moment. Anything and everything from religion to gaming to books to code. It’s all good and it’s all me

It should come as no surprise to long time readers that I’ve not posted in a while, nor have I gotten around to changing the theme or putting up eye candy.

Anyway I’ve got lots to say, just no time to say it Story of my life I guess. I’ll post another rant next week when I have a bit more time!
