Thoughts and ramblings of an ex-Londoner in Cambridge.
I finally got round to building and testing my new Mün lander in KSP. I’d been thinking about it for a while (and to be honest, this test has given me plenty of ideas for an upgrade), and today I finally got round to testing it. It needs more fuel aboard, but I can work that against mass quite easily, and eject the external tanks once it leaves the Mün. It looked pretty good and worked rather well too. (more…)
I don’t personally play either of the games referenced here, but if it’s true, then it’s something that needs to be out there. Therefore, without judgement, I invite you to read it and judge for yourselves.
I Can’t Believe They Are Doing This, It’s Disgusting..
Imagine that you’ve slaved away at developing an app in memory of your mother. But then a big company came along, made almost an exact replica, and squashed yours into almost non-existence. Well this is exactly what happened to Albert Ransom, the man behind CandySwipe.
It’s with us again, Sunday, shortest day of the week. We do plan shortly to get some lunch, and perhaps a small beer or two. After that we’ll come back here so that Louise can lie in bed and play Minecraft until it’s time for her to sleep. (more…)
It seems that after posts by both Louise and myself mentioning it as such, the tower I currently reside in has acquired the moniker “The VAB“, referring for those who are unaware, to the Vertical/Vehicle† Assembly Building from Kerbal Space Program (and NASA).

It’s very windy outside today, at least from all the way up here it is, which has probably something to do with the Olympics and Mr Putin’s status as an impromptu gay icon. At least, that’s what I get from the still-running-after-a-month #ukipweather hash tag on twitter. But I digress, it’s windy and the wind is loud up here on the 19th floor, and the rain is ratting against the windows. I had coffee but it’s gone.
