Wow, it’s been a while 2.0

I had to make some backend updates for the website, which broke WordPress. I’ve got it working again, but I had to slash and burn several plugins and my beloved simpledark theme. I’m running a default theme for now, will eventually get around to trying to find another simple one I like.

Wow, it’s been a while.

Sorry, this blog is somewhat neglected. We do tend to focus on our furkids over at thechubbyferret.net a bit much, I guess. But, here’s a post for here! Click the link for a lovely wall of text.

Just Another Day at the Office, chapter 3

Slinking in, again with the glaring (this time at the tiny triple chime from the door, castigating me for entering late), I see the usual gathering around the watercooler.

Just Another Day at the Office, chapter 1

1 = I woke up late for work again today. Third time this month, and it was only the 4th. This was not going to go over well on my monthly review. Deadlines are slipping left and right, quotas are seldom being met at all before a new program replaces them. Every manager exhorting his…

Half-Life (PC – Steam)

Half-Life Platform: PC-Steam Ratings: Story: 4/5 (I couldn’t hear a lot of what the scientists were telling me, making me miss a lot of plot.) Environment: 5/5 Game Play: 4/5 (Some minor but annoying glitching.) Review: Half-Life is a fun mix of FPS and puzzler, and the first FPS I’ve ever finished on my own.…
