Just whatever pops into my head.

So we finally got ourselves a pair of kittens from the DSPCA. Two sisters who due to the way they acted on their first night have gotten themselves the names Lady and Minx.

Right now they are crashed out, Lady up at the window near the kitchen, and Minx down near the door to the balcony.

They’ve both settled in really well, using the litter tray and not spraying and taking dumps anywhere else. I’ll be uploading a few photos soon, but suffice to say like all kittens, cute as anything.

So just got home from The Gathering.

Was awesome on so many levels, my character died, made a new one, laughs were had, cries were had.

Will write more up at some point.

So it’s that time of year again, the Gathering beckons. Time to dress up and run around hitting people with foam latex weapons and pretending to throw fireballs and the like. I may be turning 30 next year, but I remember how to play and have fun.

Spent the past hour or so going through our actual kit for these events. Have all our camping gear in one bag (a big one, but one none the less) and all our character kit in another. And it turns out we have enough stuff we aren’t bringing to have a spare bag of kit also. Truely we have become serious larper.

Just booked Toby’s as well for the trip back, so all we now need is to get there!

Well as I said, I was going to be in an episode of Hak5, and I am. Darren and I did a little round table chat regarding Android, rooting the HTC Desire, and running Android apps on your computer. Have to say I am stoked at seeing it, and I’d like to thank Darren for giving me the chance to come on and do a segment, and hopefully if he liked it I will get to to do more in the future, as I’ve got the bug. I want to do more.

For the episode I’m in it’s Season 7, episode 23.

So I’m going to be recording a segment for Hak5 about rooting the HTC Desire I’ve already for almost it entirely worked out.

So today I heard back from my oncologist. I don’t have colon cancer!

Yes, flight sims. Rather geeky/nerdy for a lot of people, but I happen to love them. From the free one Orbiter, to the rediculously expensive X-Plane, with controllers ranging from a simple joystick to full on Saitek equipment with control panels, rudder pedals and all the rest of it.

Why do I love flight sims? Controlling a plane, helicopter, spaceship/whatever I just enjoy, and some of the more advanced ones, if you don’t get it right, game over. Flight Sims can be very arcade, or very very realisic (ie bloody hard).

So I’ll get a shot up at some stage of my setup, it’s not the most spectacular one, but it’s rather good.

So things are working pretty well. Long day in work, signed some legal documents with regards to Hugh moving in and becoming my tennant. It’s nice to have another person in our home. Helps out with the cost of things, and he’s a fellow gamer, it’s all good.

Well hello there. I’m Rkiver, or Robb as known to immediate friends and family. I’m a bloke from Ireland approaching 30 years old, and I’ve decided to keep a wordpress blog for no other reason then I can, and it is always handy to know how to manipulate stuff such as this.

I’m a fan of technology in all it’s miriad of ways, though honestly the iPhone 4 hype bores me as the phone itself has been an epic failure so far. Nice one Apple. I’m currently learning how to code Android as my phone is a HTC one and uses Android.

I live in Dublin, rather like the area I am in, am happily married for 3 years now, and have a lodger moving into our spare room.

So that’s about it really, oh and a random picture of the wife and I just because I can.

Yes, we like dressing up.

Wahey, wordpress up and running, go me.
