“Justice. Revenge. Conviction”, The tag line says it all. In Splinter Cell: Conviction you reprise the role of Sam Fisher; a rogue agent determined to piece together the circumstances of his daughter’s death.

Following on from Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Sam Fisher (voiced by Hollywood Hardman Michael Ironside) has now left Third Echelon, the government agency he’d formerly been a part of after discovering hints that his daughter’s death may not have been an accident. Before long, Sam becomes wrapped up in a much larger plot involving a potential terrorist attack on Washington DC. [Read the rest of this entry...]

Bruttino Arrives

Originally uploaded by shtev21

Someone very special to me gave me the chance to adopt Bruttino.

I love him, he’s so cute. I will be updating my Flickr with photos of him exploring my world.

Another quick post using, well… QuickPost.

This time it’s a photo post! One of my older pics from Camden.

Camden – Peppermint Tea

Seems like I’ve found something that MAY do the job I was looking for. It comes with a bookmarklet for firefox that enables quick posting of links to the blog (it’s not perfect) But also mentions quick uploading of other simple bits and bobs, much like Tumblr does.

Hopefully it is what I want, I’ll try it for a month and see.

If you are interested in trying it out, you can click the link below and download it yourself.

WordPress Plugin – QuickPost

People may have noticed that I update my blog far less than I do my twitter status. This got me thinking.

If there was a way to add a quick post to wordpress, I would love it. A couple of dropdowns or input boxes for standard things such as location, food or custom, I would be extremely happy. I MAY look into creating something like this myself. No promises tho.

Out.

Testing out the embeddable Tweets from Twitter.

Here is a post from the PoliceOracle twitter feed:

Looking pretty good!

Not only is it pretty slick, but I also used the BlackBird bookmarklet (available here) to quickly and easily generate the code used within the blog post. Only one slight problem with the new embeddable tweets is the fact that the generated code “snippet” is huge and messy, but they are working hard to improve that.

Overall im quite pleased and it will definately be a boon to hardcore bloggers who regularly post screenshots of twitter stusses.

For some bizarre reason, my most trafficked post and also (probably related) most spammed post happens to be my Macro photos post. I guess no-one is actually interested in my photos and would much rather encourage me to forget my camera and lengthen my penis instead. Ho-hum )

Finally got shot of my old 8gb iPhone 3g, well, not completely; I’m still looking to sell it and may even go as far as sending it to mazuma.

I am now part of the Android family with my Motorola Milestone (t-mobile contract; bought from expansys) and it has made me incredibly happy, the phone simply does everything I want it to, its very fast, multi tasks well and has a good battery life. Not to mention the seemless sync with my Google account.

I actually find it a pleasure to type on the physical keyboard and actively seek opportunities to type with it. It took a bit of getting used to but I think I finally have it.

Well, this turned out to be a fairly lengthy post to type from a phone, but a decent test.

Thank you to everyone that requested an invite on Wave and Twitter. All invitations have been sent and hopefully you should have them all soon (some already do). Hope you enjoy it and feel free to send me a message on Wave when you get your head around it.

[Edit: Nov 21 @ 21:45] All wave invites sent. Thanks all

At the time of writing this post, I have 15 Google Wave invitations to give away so If anyone would like one, just leave a comment and make sure you include some way for me to contact you, alternatively you can direct message me on Twitter. I’m not going to be biased and all invitations are on a “first come – frist served” basis.
