As a delayed present from one of my sisters, I got the LEGO X-wing using the gift voucher she gave me for Christmas. It is a mighty set, doing all the kinds of things I tried to do in my own various interpretations of the craft, both when I was younger and even more [...]

New Year
18 January, 2008 – 10:39pm
Exams are over until May and I have a week to catch up before work proper starts again.
The cataloguing of all my old LEGO bricks has picked up steam due to me finding Peeron.com. 1928 pieces have been logged so far, or 392 different colour/type combinations. Still at least double that amount more [...]
Things
30 November, 2007 – 6:13pm
On account of I work on finishing a Java project and then go to a wedding, I don’t have time to write about certain things in full depth, but would note them here that I might do so later:
1 – ASUS Eee PC and associated accessories
2 – Nintendo DS R4 shenanigans
3 – Photos of Hong [...]
Hong Kong
21 November, 2007 – 11:45am
I arrived in Hong Kong around 8pm last night local time, which would be 1pm in the UK, after having been awake for 36 hours, getting a mighty numb bum on the 12 hour flight and watching many films and TV shows on the back of the seat in front of me.
The roads from the [...]
LEGO Anniversary Present
11 November, 2007 – 7:15pm
This October just gone saw the fifth anniversary of Kitty and I getting together. For those who don’t know, we met by way of being flatmates during my second year of Philosophy at King’s College London. It was rather an impromptu situation, as the friends I originally planned to move in with had [...]
Exam Results
6 July, 2007 – 11:37am
My first year, second semester exam results:
65% for Software Development was expected as I didn’t do so well in the second Java project. For the first project I got 79%, for the in-class test 84%… meaning 66% for the final exam. Not stellar, but a reasonable 2:1.
75% for Communications & Telematics was [...]
Traptured & Halsected!
7 June, 2007 – 4:16pm
Yesterday I went to the library here in Milton Keynes and they cut my card in half, which seemed slightly excessive a punishment for not borrowing a book from them since 2003… So, they gave me a new card and with it I borrowed a book I read many years ago and now I [...]
K.A.T.S.

Today, Anita gave me some LEGO that she found in amongst her Playmobil during the easter holidays.
Tonight, after seeing the mighty Hot Fuzz again, we turned said LEGO into something magical:

Yeah… stuff happens and it’s already 2am? Damn…
LEGO goes good, but I hold off a bit here for a while. Too much, you know?
Soon, details on the £30 PowerBook G3 and some other non-LEGO related geekery I’ve had going on of late.
I would post a picture, yo:
Bricksmith
7 March, 2007 – 2:49am
Bricksmith is the most gonad-happying piece of software I have ever used.
It is everything LEGO’s own Digital Designer promises to be, before it crushes your hopes and dreams in its hideously-sluggish, limited-inventory, unintuitive-interface maw. In the few years I’ve had Digital Designer on my computer I have designed exactly zero models with it.
With Bricksmith, [...]
