Jeesh.. I make an innocuous post on Beyond3D, and everyone becomes a comedian, wondering why I’ve not updated this blog! Well, here’s a quick run down of what I’ve been doing since the last update to this site (in really rough chronological order).

1. Medium amounts of drinking. This is ongoing, so simply imagine I’ve been boozing fairly regularly, over the following run down. Don’t be fooled though, it’s not like I’m an alcoholic with a liver the size of the Hindenburg. I leave that kind of alcohol abuse to other people that I have met on my travels.

2. Helped out in the scramble to get Heavenly Sword out of the door.

3. Testing out ********** with a new ******** from ** *******.

4. Doing general comparisons between *** and new builds of ***, detailing differences in **** ********** and **** ****. Oh, and *********** ****. This also includes testing a new ******.

5. Bought a new TV… a Sony KDL40X3000. The discounts (when ***** ***** actually *****. It’s become a bit of a joke recently) were too much a draw. Blu-ray movies at 1080p/24Hz are seriously bloody good. And as it’s got multiple HDMI connections, I managed to get rid of my HDMI switcher box.

6. Went to GDCмебели (preceded by an internal Sony conference) where I met friends and colleagues. And where I had one of the most expensive (and delicious) meals I’ve ever had.

7. Discussed issues (and created a number of reports) regarding ****** ********* and everything that impacts.

8. General platform help around the studio, some of it more tightly focused on development of ***.

9. Read a boat load of documents dealing with ******* ***, and the plans associated with that work. There’s a load of ********* **** though with ********* ****** knowing ********* ******. But at the moment, them’s the breaks.

10. Finally got off my arse and joined a gym. Not the stinky hell-hole of a (free) gym that’s at work, but a real one. With decent equipment. But which unfortunately costs money.

11. Decided that I want an iPhone, but that I’m not getting one until that 3G model comes out in June. And will it really have GPS? If so, that would be fucking awesome..

12. Started doing some work on *** ******. Although the work is mostly ****-related at the moment, it’s all useful stuff. And developers love it.

13. More ******* evaluation work on ******** *. Mostly involving *********. But interesting nonetheless.

14. Initial testing on new ******** for ***. *** *** should be pretty well received when it comes out in ****.

15. Watched Manchester United win the Premier League.

Apologies for the government-style censorship.. but it’s ******* necessary. If you don’t like it, then **** ***.
