Captured Playing Quake 4

Posted on by

Here’s something I wasn’t expecting to ever see. A video capture of Quake 4 CTF with me in it! My player name is K-Fella. I’m not the main player in the video but you can see text read ‘You fragged K-Fella’ or ‘You were fragged by K-Fella’. I wasn’t impressed with my play in this video, but if you look carefully at the ending you’ll see that I come 1st (Although my team lost).

New Computer Desk & Chair

About a week ago I bought myself a new computer desk and chair.

The desk came in a flat pack state, so I had to assemble it myself, which took me hours because of the usual lack of information in the assembly leaflet. It took me about 45 minutes just to figure out which piece was which!

Now that it’s assembled though I’m very happy with it. Much more room for my two monitors and desktop towers Yay!

What I’m not happy with is the chair. It’s very low in comparison to my old chair, so I have stuck to using the old chair for the time being. I’m sure, over time, I’ll switch to the new one.

Moving Hosts

I’m in the middle of moving hosts at the moment, so things will not appear quiet right at the moment. Everything will be back to normal soon… I promise!

Moving hosts is always a pain in the ass:

  1. You have to make sure databases have moved over properly – along with the fact that trying to move semi-large databases without shell access is a nightmare!
  2. You end up having to double triple check that you’ve uploaded all neccessary files.
  3. You inevitably end up forgetting something – which leads to you doubting yourself – which leads to you checking everything for a fourth or fifth time.
  4. The wait for domain name propagation is tiresome – I’m making this post on the new server.

I’ve probably forgotten to mention something else annoying about moving hosts, but I blame the moving itself for that

Update:

See, I did forget to mention something. I reverted to the default wordpress style in order to be able to clearly tell when the domain name propagation occurred. I plan on putting the old a new design up soon.

Another Update:

The move has been completed. I forgot to mention that in the last update. Forgetful me
