I am currently sitting in my cousin’s lounge room in Glasgow (11:50 Zulu time), enoying the lovely weather, it’s been raining or about a day now and I’m loving it.
I’ve been in Scotland for a week an it’s only just started raining.
William Wallace has a damn big sword and a damn big memorial in Stirling!
I’m off to Hong Kong in about 8 hours, then back home in a few days.
It’s been a lovely marathon across 7 countries, but it’s almost over. I’ve seen so many castles and churches… you just can’t escape from them in Europe!

Contrary to popular disbelief, haggis is quite nice (when prepared properly).

I would like to take this opportunity to welome the new recruits to the IPX family, I’ll hopefully see you all online soon.

That’s all I’ve got for now, have to start packing.

Now that the site has gone live it’s time to grow the community. There is an option in your user menu – “Invite your friends”. Feel free to invite anyone who may be interested in being part of the IPX community*. Skullz member pdart has already shown his support by joining and participating in the forums. I’m also hoping to see similar support from our main allies FKQ.

Well, it’s exciting for me… I actually might get the chance to have a game with you guys at some stage.

Unfortunately they’ve chosen a closed beta for Linux, rather than an open one. – who knows why. But it seems that if I fork out the cash I’ll be able to pick up a Linux-ised copy sometime in October or November.

I had my first experience with the new file format from Microsoft’s latest Office series. Surprise surprise, it doesn’t work in anything else. Since I detest Office 2007 for its form and price tag, I went looking for a converter. http://www.docx2doc.com/ sprang up as an online option, claiming to be fast and easy. After a few seconds you’ll notice that there’s a price attached – literally there is a US$5 fee for the conversion. Even more than that, check who is behind this software.

Go on, check….
