Alright, quickly now: ‘Hector – We Negotiate with Terrorists’ is a point and click crime comedy game that I purchased for less than a fiver and completed in a rainy afternoon. The puzzles are mostly pretty logical and clearly laid out and there is a nice hint system if you miss anything. The game is [...]

Time certainly does fly… as such this is a three month review of the VPS service at allsimple. I picked up one of their VPS via LEB to host this blog and a few bits and pieces and have been pleasantly surprised with the results. The closest equivalent retail package would be at a somewhat [...] Most of what I said here stands. In the time I was with Slicehost the hardware I was on had an issue requiring a reboot once, other than that the service and network was solid across the entire two and a half years. I didn’t have much reason to call on their support so can’t [...] I’d been wanting to get a hold of this for a couple of years but had never actually come across it in a local book shop. ‘The Road’ is possibly the bleakest fiction I’ve ever read. The story follows a boy and his father struggling to survive in a journey south to the coast across [...] An innovative cross between a Dickens novel and ‘Crime and Punishment’ (without the moral / psychological quandry of the latter being at the forefront) ‘The White Tiger’ is the black as coal and worryingly humourous story from childhood to success of a man from the Indian “darkness”.

As all electronic and traditional methods of communication are monitored by the city state, those who wish to stay off the record communicate via messages couried over the [...] It’s not particular eloquent, but TV or Movie tie in games are normally, well… balls. “The Simpsons game” turns out to be an adequate platformer raised to worth playing status by the addition of tv-quality Simpsons animation shorts linking the levels and a storyline most gamers will appreciate… well, that is if you’re over 20 [...] Well, or not a shocker apparently. Searching around they’ve apparently been defective for months. Only it’s never effected me before because I’ve not used the net at the flat before in the evenings. Never mind, setting third party DNS servers gets things working, but funny to think we’re paying for DNS servers that go to [...] I Decided back in the Summer that I would ditch Servage when my renewal came around in the Autumn, I’ll discuss why in a separate updated final review. In short I wanted a system I had as near to 100% control over as possible, so that meant a VPS. Hosting my own and my family’s [...] |
