Store Wars
A deeply serious post this time. As all of us true Star Wars devotees will know, a travesty has been unleashed upon us in the form of the recent three films. These monstrosities of computer imagery and layer upon layer of cheese purport to be the story of our beloved Star Wars.
At long last an antidote has been found. For a dose of nostalgia, that remains true to the spirit of the original, check out Store Wars - Ham Solo and Chewbroccoli are waiting for you....
May the farm be with you

Life
It's Been a Long Time
It's been a while since I've blogged. Even longer since I've done a proper one. Life is hectic - better than being bored though. [1]
I took Friday off to start work on our patio down at River. I'm strictly a sedantry VR dweller - so it was an ordeal doing some real work for a change phew. Sometime I might stick some pictures up here.
Me and the Chinese Loon [2] spent a whole day laying a hardcore base for the slabs to go on. I've acquired some ex-demo real stone that has been cluttering up our yard at TBS for two years. This is the first time I've done anything like this and it was good fun. We used the farm JCB to dig out most of the soil in about fifteen minutes, and spent three hours removing the last three tonnes ourself. We then had to shovel and rake four tonne of hardcore back in and whack it down. It took all day, and I ached for the next three, but it was well worth it.
I'm enjoying writing at the moment, and have been trying to wade through the technical Strunk and White [3]. The bits I understand are very good Omit unnecessary words. I think of lots of ways of saying the same thing in more words, but it doesn't take much explanation. Apparently if you want to use more space, you can just say it three times for emphasis - Omit unnecessary words, Omit unnecessary words, Omit unnecessary words .
Anyway - I've had myself checked out, and apparently I've managed to acquire several mind viruses. I'd recommend you have an online scan as well.

| [2] | Wei Loon to be precise. My Chinese friend from Malaysia, if that makes sense. |
| [3] | Apparently the American bible on writing style. No one in England has heard of it. |

The Old Blog Archives
There was so much ancient wisdom distilled into my old blog, that I couldn't let it just creep ignominiously into the pages of cyber-history. More to the point I'm still getting some hits from google with the old entries. Here are the archives of my previous Blogger based blog.
