Meetup
So today I headed into London to meet up with Mike Schramm and Mark Turpin (Aka Turpster) famous for being on a variety of podcasts over the past few years.
Their current primary podcast TIPOAA ( The Incredible Podcast of Amazing Awesomness ) was having a group get together today in the rainy city of London to grab some lunch and drink a few drinks, whilst chatting the afternoon away.
Arriving at 1pm and meeting up to have an eat all you can buffet in China-Town at Mr Wu's we got to meet one another of the six of us that turned up.
Overall it was an excellent day and I can't think of a better way of spending a rainy bank holiday.

Notch (of Minecraft fame) recently announced his current new project, 0x10c.
0x10c is a space based MMOish Hard sci-fi game with a very elite sounding asthetic to it.
To keep up to date with information on 0x10c and also to try and build a community, I've created http://www.0x10chub.com The 0x10c Hub, a community site which will eventually combine community contributed news and tutorials as well as a forum.
I do hope you head over to 0x10c Hub and get as excited as many others are about the new game.

New Timeline Portfolio

Portfolio
This morning thanks to a wonderful post on Tutorialzine I was made aware of the excellent Javascript library, Timeline.
It allows you to display events in a chronological fashion in a slick UI. In my case I'm using it to display my projects, personal endevours and general life. I'm hugely impressed every day with how powerful Javascript is and with some of the applications some people create with it.

TribesTournament.com Plans

Tribes
Last week I bought the domain TribesTournament.com with the intention of beginning to create video content about Tribes Ascend.
The content will be in the form of both commentaries and professionally edited matches. I also am hopeful that in the future the domain could also support it's own tournament (as per the name). For now it is a placeholder as until the Hirez guys add demo recording to Tribes Ascend I can't create the sort of content I want to.
As well as the website I've grabbed the youtube channel tribestournament and the twitter @tribestourney also.
Going to Eurogamer Expo 2012

Exhibitions
Last week I managed to grab my early entry pass to this years EuroGamer Expo.
The previous years expo was excellent, I got to try out a-lot of new titles that were subsequently released late last year and early this year. The Last expo also introduced my somewhat worrying excitement for the new GuildWars 2 that is to be released later this year.
I'll be going along on the Friday as usual for the whole day ( 10am - 7pm ). Look forward to seeing any others who are going, I know its a long way off but you have to book early to grab an early entry pass :D.
New site design complete

I've finally got around to re-designing this website and it is now live! This is much a more clean design and I am very happy with how it turned out. As a way to showcase my portfolio, I am glad this is finally complete. While the design is complete, I still need to get around to the backend to create a real news system rather than this static one currently.
