Tinkered with the site a bit, might as well put up a post with an image to test it out.
Got this toy recently. An Arduino micro-controller starter kit. 170 page textbook in there to learn how to use the small card sufficiently.
Quite entertaining actually. Never thought a flashing LED would be that fascinating. Got to pick up soldering soon.
So the new Dark Angels Codex is about to hit. Already have seen some of the new units, and frankly speaking this edition doesn’t give much to me.
Why? I play Battle Company. 5th Company to be precise. (And no, I decided on the 5th Company waaaay before Games Workshop decided that the 5th Company would make good poster boys.) So all the Deathwing and Ravenwing goodies just mostly missed.
Having said that, I do like the new Nephilim; the Dark Talon, not so much, but there are good parts there to “upgrade” my inevitable Nephilim (that also means I’d have to include Ravenwing elements into my Battle Company, which isn’t what I want but… too cool an aircraft.).
Deathwing Command squad looks interesting but since I’m not a Deathwinger it’s not a priority buy. Having the option to bring in a Plasma Cannon does broaden the horizons for the Terminators though. Deathwing Knights, I think the weaponry kind of looks sucky. Not going to be in major favour for it but with a Thunder Hammer replacement I can find room.
Vengeance and Darkshroud Landspeeders… not so keen. But have an idea to convert the Vengeance into something that looks better. So eventually will get one, and plus there’s this local guy who had the idea of a Limo hot tub Landspeeder…. 😀
Ravenwing Command and Black Knights, would eventually pick up, especially the Command; the banner has been in the works for decades since that infamous pic. But since I’m not a big Ravenwing fan it won’t be priority.
So, coming up to the weekend. I’ll only get my stuff on Monday, so it’ll be a quiet weekend for me.
I’m not a morning person, but lately my body clock has flipped to AM mode. Which makes me realise that compared to a lot of people, the Sun:
Should just fire its ass man…
Well now that I have some time (thanks to a work outage on email…) I can blog about things!
Why this domain, why this blog? Several reasons…
One, Pacific Internet decided that it didn’t want my money no more, so I had a push to get a new email address. I’ve been in the IT line for the last 10+ years and never got around to playing with a domain, so.. hey, why not?
Then, there’s this thing about Facebook. After a recent spate of stupidity by various people both public and in my various circles, and the crap that the Internetz can be, my FaceBook feed basically tapered off. I got bored, really.
Then there’s this thing about me posting hobby-related stuff up for random people to see. Not always happy with the way FB does it, so why not set up my own little slice of cyberspace?
Then there is various developments in my social circles that I’m personally a bit wary about. Call this a bit of hedging. In case things blow up, I got a little slice of cyberspace to act as a hidey-hole.
So, this space. My space. My rules. What I say is my opinion, and does not represent my work organisation or whatever weird social groups/ organisation that is unfortunate enough to suffer my presence. And I reserve the right to change the rules here as I feel like it. 🙂
Still got a long way to go on this. Lots of tweaking and work. 🙂
