A new post? Shocking! Beta, please?

Well I’ve felt the need to post about something, so I won’t necessarily keep posts to the topic of XEv5 after all…

You may have noticed I haven’t posted anything here in a while… well, this is why…

When free doesn’t actually mean free

I’ll warn you now that most of you probably won’t find the following post interesting!

The last remaining premium rate phone-in quiz show on TV (Quiz Call on five) has finally managed to surpass its previous incompetence. I haven’t entered a quiz show for about a year now, but I still like to keep an eye on what’s happening. Don’t get the wrong idea about the quiz show I’m talking about - it’s not the only one still on air because it’s the best one… far from it, in fact.

R.I.P. Phil O’Donnell

I’m sure not all of you will have heard this story, but I’d like to touch on it briefly. Phil O’Donnell was the captain for the Scottish football club Motherwell FC, and on 29th December 2007 he collapsed on the pitch during a game and died shortly afterwards from heart failure. As you may know I’m no football fan, but there’s a reason why I’m posting about this…

Good or Bad Start to 2008?

Did you have a good or bad start to 2008? Well, to be honest, I don’t care… I’m not just being downright rude, I actually have a point to make.

I had a great start to 2007, but it turned out to be an average year. I’ve had an average start to 2008, so does that mean the rest of the year will be great? I doubt it…

New Year and New Path

Well 2008 is now upon us, and I thought I would do something new myself. Obviously blogs aren’t new - there are so many different fads nowadays I can’t keep up with them all - but blogs are (mostly) new to me. Apart from helping someone make a football-related blog (and when I say help, I mean work on and get paid for!), I’m pretty much new to this, so bear with me if it looks like I know jack shit… I know there are probably millions of blogs around the interweb these days, and I can’t imagine mine will be that much different - but if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to go to uni and attempt to run an Xbox 360 fansite at the same time, then you should get a good idea of the work involved if you read everything I type. I’m not suggesting you do, because you’d probably get pretty bored, but you may as well read my posts since you’re here! And hey, if nobody reads this, I can at least have a diary-like record of my life since the start of 2008.
