    Since i49, I’ve now attended a number of Insomnia Gaming Festivals, returning as a staff member each time. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a number of people from Multiplay, but also with the event volunteers. I should have expected as much by now, but the community behind projects is often the most interesting…

    I guess I just don’t get around to posting on here very much. It has been a year since the last Minecon, and it has been an interesting year. I was invited to be a speaker at Insomnia Gaming Festival 49 (i49), which was great fun. Got to meet a lot of awesome people, including…

    One of the more interesting things to hit the geek scene at the moment is Minecraft. For quite some time now, in just about every Linux or programming medium I use I come across discussion of Minecraft. By most definitions Minecraft is an indie sandbox construction game, although peoples ‘mileage’ does somewhat vary. The most…

    Dropbox is a free service which creates a folder on your hard disk which it mirrors both online and with other machines you have also installed the service. Therefore it allows you to carry certain files with you, no matter which PC you visit, either by installing the application, or accessing the files online. It…

    At the moment, I store my data in 3 places: Windows and programs run from a single 300GB hard drive (which I would like to upgrade to a solid state drive sometime soon). My user folder is dumped onto a RAID-1 array of 2x 1TB disks. Drobo containing 4x 1TB disk, formatted to give 3TB…
