Limpetboy's Old Ramblings

So it finally launched in Japan yesterday and was a fairly low key affair by all regards, which is interesting, so have Sony something to hide or are they quietly confident and want everybody else to make their own hype, who knows. Well i suppose the fact that it isn't coming out over here until march is a good thing as it will give me time to assess what the system is like with the reactions from everbody else and see what they think. As i am really tempted with one now as i want a cheap HD player of some description and the HD-DVD drive of the 360 is somewhat tempting but as it doesn't use a HDMI conection it does worry me, plus i'm starting to think that Blu-Ray may end up being the winning format or at least the most dominent. So  we shall wait and see what happens.

Well it "hopefully" looks as though the move is all going work out, and as you can see we are starting to pack in preparation. Although it looks as though we will be living with the in-laws for a few days after we buy there place so we aren't going to be able to get things sorted until they get all there stuff out. The house may be very packed for a while with to sets of furniture just hope none of our stuff gets taken to france with theirs. But it is so going to be worth it in the end, it had better be.

Well my new A/V setup is coming along now with my fairly new HDTV, which is really good with my 360 and certainly makes a difference when playing, and i have just got an upscaling DVD recorder to make the most of the new TV. All i need now is the new surround sound set up, which i think will wait until after we have moved, or should i say if? Also got a new monitor for my PC as my old on was on its last legs and i though i had better get it while i still have some money. Well at least things do appear to moving along a bit now as we are seeing the solicitor on Friday as having a nightmare trying to get hold of him and reply to any of my emails. So hopefully after tomorrow it will look a bit more like it is all going to work out in time. Would certainly be good to get in before Christmas and get a few things sorted, and i also may need to call upon the help of my dad especially if we have short notice on moving in. Plus we will need some help with decorating. Fingers crossed

I will certainly be glad when or should i say if we finally move and sale and purchase go through, i will never move again. I naively thought everything was going through fine no stress, so what do everyone moan about then we hit a problem and i understand. Everything was fine until our current problem of trying to speed things up. Now things are up in the air and it may all fall through. I now have a headache and just want to lie down. Never again i tell you, never again

Well hopefully this will post on my blog. As this is my first attempt at a blog from my phone if it works it could mean a lot more updates......... Yeah right.

Yes believe it or not I am still alive, and so is Joey. Can't believe it has been over a year since I last posted, I won't try to recap the last year as far too much has happened, I would never have thought it but it has. So I shall just say what is current. finally went permanent with my new job after 7 month with a pay rise, Yay!!! Biggest thing of all we are moving as we have sold the house, yes we will soon hopefully have a garden and spare rooms. Joey is going to love the fact that the computer isn't going to be in the bedroom anymore, and I don't get moaned at for being on it late, hopefully. So everyone seems to be moving at the moment The Chuddlings and the Po's are also moving and we are all going to be within walking distance of each other, which is going to be great for parties. Also currently taking Golf lessons, as they were cheap, £70 for 20 hours and so got a load of cheap golf gear as well. Got pretty much everything for about £50, and will be a go

We have been invaded all this week.... by midgets.....well kids. Yes since Jo decided to tell her nieces that they could pop over anytime when visiting the park just round the corner from our house.....they have. Yes they have been round 3 times already since the weekend. The weekend is looking bright as well as they are planning on staying over on Friday, so there is no escape. Well at least I get my first proper photo assignment as I'm supposed to get some nice pictures of them both for the family, just hope my skills are up to it

After having photoshop for a while i have never really got to grips with it, mainly due to not taking the time to figure it out. So i have been reading bits and pieces here and there and also started re-reading my "in easy steps" book. Although i have read stuff i have not really tried anthing out yet so i have tried to photoshop a couple of photos and these are the results not too bad but still need a lot of practice.
