Microsoft store dance

Now, I work at Google, and we're not supposed to beat on Microsoft, so I'm not going to say a thing, and just embed this video, state a few facts, and let you make your own decision





All I will say is try to count how many of the customers in the place are paying any attention. And, if you make it to the end, look to see exactly who is clapping - that's right, it's the people who were dancing, and, erm, no-one else.


Also, it's the music from the JK dance song made famous here: 





They can't even do something with their own theme tune? Oh well.

New Look, Webmaster tools integration

Been playing Civilisation:Revolution on the Xbox. Is quite good, if you like that sort of thing (and I do!).

They've managed to convert the Civ experience to the console very well indeed.

Apologies for lack of posts recently. Slammed.

Also, check out the new 'webmaster tools' link on the dashboard of blogger down at the bottom, which you can see over at the blogger blog.

Emulation

I sat down next to Philipe today between meetings, and we started chatting about emulators.
He played 1080 snowboarding on an N64 emulator last night, which apparently is awesome.
I remember the Captain telling me, back when the N64 had just launched, that he'd scored an emulator and a Zelda ROM, and could play in the heady delights of 800x600 resolution. Ahhh, good times.

It also remeinded me of my time spent with Steem. Which is a blast. Obviously, I cannot condone downloading illegal roms, but in my mind, if I once owned the game, it's cool.

So I spent a lovely long weekend replaying Dungeon Master, and Chaos Strikes Back, which was a laugh.

Wow

Apple, erm, weren't on the ball.

Thursday

I guess this is how it happens.
You start a blog with the very best of intentions, and then get constant distractions (games, work, real life, you know), and don't update for a few days.

Since no-one's really reading this thing anyway, it's not such a problem, I guess.
So, what have I been doing? Not a lot. Catching up on telly.
Actually, just working a lot. I'm pretty boring.
I've tried, unsuccessfully, to change the layout of this thing to a dynamic width, but it keeps breaking. I need more than 10 minutes to crack it, I guess.
Maybe tomorrow.

What else? Hmm. I'm going to be tinkering with the YouTube Upload APIs pretty soon, so that's quite interesting. I've also got a load of expenses to do, and have just eaten a delicious yoghurt.
Twewy continues to own me, and I had a parcel delivered this morning which wouldn't fit through the door, which is exciting, although it'll be 48 hours before I can pick it up. Could be another game, I guess. I'm still trying to find Wii Fit somewhere. Not that I'll actually use the thing, but I like the idea of a weight graph over time.

At a wedding on Saturday as well. I have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I'm supposed to be doing something on Sunday, too, but, well, screw it. I'm just going to go and fly the kite if there's wind, and sleep if there's not. Which probably means I'll be in trouble with someone for not being where I should have been.

First post

Hopefully first of many. Let's see how we get on.

This is my personal blog, in no way affiliated with the company for which I work.
It'll be comments on everything from goats, to cheese, to computer games (and sometimes computer games about goats cheese - if anyone knows any).

I'll try and post every day, even if there's not much to say.

So, here goes
