Mean’t to update this a few weeks back but things have been majorly busy lately so only just had a chance.

Since the last update I’ve bought a house with Jo and we’ve been here just over a month. Thankfully the place was in great condition so we’ve not had to do too much decorating but getting everything in and sorted was a pretty big task (I horde junk), but we’re pretty much there now.
We had the first of our house warming parties (for people local to us, having another next month for friends from further afield) and all went well, the weather held off for most the evening so fired up the BBQ and ate far too much chicken, burgers and sausages.

I’ve mostly spent today fiddling around with Maximus Arcade – setting up my media centre with a front-end for launching various emulators, so I’ve been playing around with Super Mario 64 (which looks absolutely awesome at 1080p on a 40″ LCD by the way, and works great with the Intel X4500 HD integrated graphics) while Jo has been proving she’s better than me at Sonic for the Mega Drive (I’ll get her gaming yet).

Oh and for anyone who reads this to find out my latest experiences with Virgin Media, although they had improved vastly since upgrading me to ADSL2+ I unsurprisingly didn’t transfer the account and am now using Be There.

And now it’s my bed time, as I get up at 6:45am these days(!) and should be walking in to work tomorrow, so need some rest!
