It looks like Stella didn’t much fancy the beagle at all. Crumpet took her into the Lort Smith on the train this morning and Stella gave the puppy the cold shoulder. Very disappointing, but thanks for trying, Crumpet.

If you never played Fallout 2 (who could I be looking at here, I wonder), here’s your chance. A site called Good Old Games is in the middle of beta, and once it’s done there will be XP/Vista-compatible versions of the entire Fallout series (plus a bunch of other excellent classic games). Last chance to [...]
Sad Stella

Last night Henry ‘slept’ beside us in our bedroom, on a towel on the floor with a little bowl of water next to him. In the morning, we walked Stella and bought her some treats, then spent an hour or so digging a small grave in Henry’s favourite sunning position. We placed a couple of [...]

Henry is lying in calico on the kitchen floor at the moment. He was put to sleep about half an hour ago after suffering some kind of extended seizure while I was in Hoppers Crossing. Crumpet found him and had to sit with him for three hours. I feel fucking terrible.
Horrific. Apple has been eating Microsoft’s lunch in the public mindspace for what seems like years now, with the ‘I’m a Mac, I’m a PC’ ads doing a lot to push the Apple brand back into the mainstream.

Just saw it. Wow. Not saying another word.
Game Over

I finished Grand Theft Auto 4 today. I did the typical thing for me, I played the game obsessively for about 40 hours (um… not in a row), and then got stuck very close to the end. When I get stuck for more than an hour on a game, I usually put it aside and [...]
