Looking back at 2005

I’ve been reading my blog entry for the start of 2005 and realised just how crap I have been at achieving my objectives for this year.

Personal
Finish TME ( Doomdark’s Revenge Scenario )
Start TME tools for Scenario writing – or preferably Igor will work on UniMapGen and his suit of tools.
Finish Wizards Lair Dataformat for John Dow
Finish Firelord Dataformat for…
Finish Spectrum Dataformat DISZ80 Tools
Revamp website
Add all Doomdark’s revenge section to website
Work on Midnight/MU Campaign Manager
Work on Midnight/MU Forum Website
Work on ‘Personal Jesus’ – My Novel #1
Work on ‘The Harry Anderson Journals’ – My Novel #2
Work on ‘unamed’ – My novel #3
Finish Retro Articles
Write new articles
College
Get fit
Lose weight

Well, I started work on TME. Nothing on the tools. Nothing on any of the dataformat stuff. Worked on the website revamp but didn’t finish it or release any of it. Did add some DDR stuff to the website. Midnight/MU related stuff went reasonably well. Nothing much on any of my novels! Finished two articles for retro gamer which were published and I never got paid for. Stopped going to college, started getting fit until I did my back in, and was losing weight until the same said back issue!

Home
Decorate New study, Rebekah’s Bedroom, Jacob’s Bedroom, Victoria’s and my Bedroom
Work on the Garden
Fix Garage Door
Convert Loft
Decorate Stairs and Landing
Spend more time with Victoria and the Kids

Study is the same, just full of more junk… Rebekah’s beadroom was finished and Jacob’s is nearly finished. My bedroom and the stairs and landing were stripped of paper but never finished! The loft is the same. The garage door is still broken and the garden hasn’t changed much. But I think I spent more time with my family.

Where did the year go…?

Currently Reading…

I’m currently reading ’s: The Prince of Tides I’m only a couple of hundred pages in but I’m really enjoying it. Much more like Beach Music and less like The Water is Wide. The only problem I have so far is with the character of Tom Wingo – Pat Conroy loves food, all his main characters love food, and they all talk about food in the same way – so even though his main characters are all different, they have moments when they start to sound the same – when talking about food… With Tom, this seems out of place with the rest of his characteristics.

Space Bastards


Having just moved office – I found about 20 copies of the retail version of Space Bastards – Sudden Justice. I’m going to put them up for sale should anyone want them.

Space Bastards was a platform puzzle game for the PC that I developed back in ’98 – originally it was mail order only, with a demo that could be downloaded or distributed by whatever means available; back in ’98 however, this didn’t work. The game was released in retail in ’99 – but retail didn’t take to the name and didn’t stock it, and so it didn’t sell there either – which is a shame because everyone who plays it – loves it.

I uploaded the demo here…

But here are some other bits that are worth looking at that will give you a feel for the game.

Prince
Celine Dion
What really happened in Dallas?

Nivea for Men on the radio

Nivea for Men
Nivea have a range of adverts for their mens products running on the radio at the moment. I heard one this morning that tickled me so I thought I’d mention it here and give them a few minutes of free ad time on my blog!

In the background you can here the sound of a ZX Spectrum loading a game. The voice over says “Does the sound of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy loading, tingle your skin… then you need Nivea for Men…” blah blah blah.

The real scarey thing is; I know it wasn’t Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy that was loading – it sounded wrong!
