A PS3 is (hopefully) going to be gracing my lounge room soon. If that arrival coincides with the release of Gran Turismo™5 Prologue then there might be a HD TV too. But still this wonderful day will be tinged with a touch of disappointment. “Why?” you ask? Because despite having one of the best racing games ever made I won’t be able to use the best game steering controller ever made with it.

WoW, it’s over
It’s official. I’ve cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription. I’ve reached 70 but couldn’t really be bothered to find a guild (and all the politics that goes with that) so all that’s left is the grind and I’m just not interested in doing that.
It’s simply not fun anymore. Continue reading WoW, it’s over
Logitech Harmony 785 Universal Remote review
Having become tired of the gaggle of remotes on my coffee table I’ve ventured once again into the one-remote-to-rule-them-all world of universal remote control. My prior purchase was a $20 cheapie that relied on the input of ‘device codes’ to identify your hardware. The Harmony line of remotes are a whole different kettle of fish.
The ‘secret weapon’ of the Harmony is that it’s ‘programmed’ using a PC. It’s a USB device. The interface used to configure the remote is even more sophisticated (and problematic) but I’ll get to that later. Continue reading Logitech Harmony 785 Universal Remote review
Lord of the Rings Online – first impressions
Lately I’ve gotten a bit tired of WoW. I made the mistake of rolling on a PVP server (I wanted to play with my friends) and I’ve gotten to the stage where I’ve been ganked one time too many. I also routinely try other MMO’s to see what’s out there.
This time I’m trying Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar (LOTRO for short). Continue reading Lord of the Rings Online – first impressions
Switching views in VS2005
I use DreamWeaver. A lot. I also write ASP but have realised that it’s probably time to move to ASP.NET now that 2.0 is claiming to make a lot of things easier.
In making this move, I’m having to come to terms with the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. It’s formidable. The more I can get it to behave like DreamWeaver the happier I’ll be. Continue reading Switching views in VS2005
Anarchy Online part 1
I spent a few hours on Saturday night in Anarchy Online. I had previously downloaded the game client in the hope of finding a free trial and they have done just that. Here is a brief rundown of my experience so far. I won’t call it a review. Continue reading Anarchy Online part 1
(Un)Scarred
We ventured once again into the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj, this time with the intention of seeking out and destroying Ossirian the Unscarred. Continue reading (Un)Scarred
Memory Fails Me
Every now and again I have cause to install MySQL. I wish I didn’t but, apparently, you can’t always get what you want. I try to make the process as painless as possible and get phpMyAdmin up and running almost immediately but always stumble on the creation of PMA specific tables as they are the only bit that need to be done from the mysql>| command line (yuk).
So I inevitably end up searching the MySQL help for how to do this. Well, no longer will I travail so for here they are.
Finally, a Home
So, after 3 years of floating around various sites on the ‘net, my blog(s) have finally arrived at their intended home, seanys.com. I bought the domain a couple of weeks ago but I’ve only just got around to tranferring my blog across from it’s previous ‘temporary’ home at seanys.kicks-ass.net.
Thankyou’s go to WordPress, MySQL and phpMyAdmin for making the moving process relatively easy.
+dmg ftw
