Master and Commander

Steve — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 10:59:48 +0000

I finally branched out and set up my own hosting after a decade of mooching off other people’s servers.

That makes me both master and commander of my own online tomfoolery!

A man after my own heart, the wonderful Chris Packham.

I love t-shirts. I found that Chris has bought some shirts from here:

Last Exit to Nowhere

My favourites: OCP, Pork Chop Express, Slaughtered Lamb and Tyrell.

Not sure when Sony released these little doohickers, but it’s cool all the same! Now all I have to work out is how to get ‘NAT Type 2′ with a BT HomeHub so I can play online.

Doghouse

Last summer, I was lucky enough to get some work experience in a SFX studio. Seeing as the film is out now, I think it should be OK to post some shots of the studio and the crew who made all the props and SFX. It was absolutely brilliant, and I would love to be able to do this kind of thing in the future. Thanks to everyone there, and especially Karl Derrick for letting me work for him! Check out the pics here.

Alton Towers 3

When we finished all our exams and coursework at University, me and some of my house-mates and friends went to Alton Towers. The weather was baking hot and we all had an awesome time. It was such a relief to have everything handed in and not have to worry about a thing. We’ve gone every year since and once in between for the Halloween ‘Spooktacular’, which was brill. The weather was great again this year – hopefully I’ve not pushed my luck by saying that! We’re planning on staying over at the Alton Towers hotel this Halloween for a full two day event. Anyway, check out the photos from AT 3: Project Oblivion!

Blast from the Past: Ariston Advert

They could re-release this ad today and it wouldn’t look out of place. I always wondered how they managed to overlap the sequences. Music is from the Gameboy version of Robocop.

Welcome, stranger! Stay awhile and listen!

Welcome to Steve’s place on the web!

Edit: a few folk have come to this site wondering where the saying ‘Welcome, stranger, stay ahwhile and listen!’ comes from. It’s a line from Deckard Cain in the original Diablo game by Blizzard Entertainment!
