It's been a while

Just a quick update to see if my new Blogger-android client works okay. Hopefully it will, and make blogging a little easier despite the large portion of time I spend travelling.

A quick update on the wedding ETA, it is now 5 weeks and change. Time has flown in quickly and times have been hard.

I was thinking I might start posting a series of blogs about technology that gets taken for granted. Might be interesting to give a shot; i am not the most tech savy person, but I think I can hold my own.

Anyhoo, going to stop there and see how much usage this is going to take up on my data limit....

The first of my unemployment blogs

Hey all, I know it has been a really long time since I last posted anything on this, but I think I should get back into it. The main reason that I stopped writing in this was because I had just managed to get my dream job in the games industry. I was working in the Publishing Quality Assurance department at Realtime Worlds. If you think the company name sounds familiar, you are probably correct. More than likely it will ring a bell with you due to the companies recent liquidation, and my subsequent unemployment. It has been just over a month now, and I am starting to get extremely bored. Needless to say, my happy life is now a little less happy since the Realtime bubble burst. In short, I really want to start working again.

As well as this job less being tough on me, it has also taken its toll on my girlfriend and our relationship. She has been fantastic and has helped me at every junction, but I can tell that it is upsetting her. I don't think can take it too much longer...

So, tonight I started working towards an online portfolio of everything I have ever done. Writing, design, drawings, music, code, just everything I can get online. Hopefully this will draw some interest to myself and maybe help me out.

If you get a chance to, why not check out my site? It isn't quite finished yet, as there is a lot of content I still want to put online, but it is a start.

Hope you enjoy it!

Couple of days late


Hey all,

Haven't posted in a couple of days. Been really busy with getting ready for charity run/jog/walk, telling my parents about my new job and chilling out at home.

Did the charity run/jog/walk and now I am in agony! My feet really hurt...

Anyway, going to go and have breakfast to build up my strength.

Stephen out.

On the road again

Hey all,

I'm heading back home tonight so that I can join my family in a charity walk. I have been lookin forward to it all week. The walk is in aid of a breast cancer charity, and I have tried to raise some money. Not as easy as I thought. Should be fun, and I am even going to run 6 miles of the 10 to see how fit I am. I can already venture a guess that it is not very.

On Sunday I have a flourist to visit about wedding flowers. The first time I have actually had to look at any of this stuff. I hope I don't seem to disinterested. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I will be useless at making any decisions.

Monday and Tuesday: penultimate and ultimate days at present job.

I am nervous about leaving my job, but I feel that this is a chance I have to take. If I don't I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Not really feeling up to driving 2 hours after I finish work, but you gotta do what you gotta do...

Stephen out.

Wii Fit plot: you are fat...


Hey all,

Just a quick post tonight. Been a long day at work, and now that I am at home I am shattered.

No further news on my new job, but I am getting increasingly nervous. Hoping they will get back to me with an update soon.

Lying in bed watching a rifftrax version of transformers 2. It's hilarious and makes the film actually bearable.

Going to go online tonight and play some streets of rage. Have a couple of beers and relax. Maybe even watch "The Box".

Anyway, not much else to say now so I am going to rap it up here.

Stephen out.

Don't feel much like writing...

Stephen out!
