Dead Space

Bought this game recently and I have to say it's one of the creepier things I've played. This element of it was hyped, and the hype lives up to expectations. It's like the movie Aliens cranked up a few notches. The control system is the one major flaw of this game, and it takes some getting used to.

Upgraded computers

I upgraded our computers recently, as the ones we had were seriously out-of-date.

My computer:
Gigabyte M61PME-S2P Motherboard
AMD 64 X2 Dual 6000+
Nvidia 9600GT
2Gb Corsair DDR2 RAM

Wife's Computer is the same save she has an Nvidia 9800GT instead.
We bought a couple of new cases to accommodate all this as well. We already had a couple of 22" BenQ TFT's. Both are running Windows XP SP3

Let me tell you: gaming is a brand new experience with these computers.

Weight training revisited

Here's what I do every second day. Two 5kg dumbbells and a barbell with two 5kg weights (11kg all up).

3 sets of 10 upright rows
3 x 10 barbell squats
3 x 10 deadlifts
3 x 10 barbell curls
3 x 10 seated shoulder presses
3 x 10 crunches
3 x 10 upper back hyperextensions
3 x 10 hammer curls
3 x 10 dumbbell decline flyes
3 x 10 triceps extension

I figured it out

Why I've been getting persistent headaches for most of this month. It's coincided with the new workout regime I've started. I eliminated things I thought were causing it: the low-joule sugar free cordial I've been drinking, the reduction in fat and sugar and the mere fact I'm putting 6-8 glasses of fluid a day away.

The common denominator is the protein powder I've been taking. Doing some research it seems that some whey-based powders cause headaches. So, I'll stop taking it and see how we go.

Version 4.0 is live

Here we are

After years of running a static site (and years before that of running Post-Nuke), I've gone back to a CMS. I've had a look at a few of them, and since my host runs the Fantastico app, I could play around with some. I tried Typo3 but it was too complicated and so after reading around and getting opinions, I went with Drupal.
