New theme in progress

My old theme was rather old and couldn’t handle a lot of more modern WordPress features. So today, I’m going to be breaking things left right and center, as I try to get a new theme to behave itself. the site may look a little odd at times. Wish me luck!!

An Overly Personal Growth.

I’m sorry I’ve not been posting much here recently. Truth be told, I’ve had a lot of other things on my mind. While I have gotten some gaming in, I’ve not really felt much like saying too much about it.

I was hoping that I was going to be able to write a relieved post today about how it turns out I don’t actually have cancer after all. Unfortunately, after my hospital appointment today, we still don’t know, and so [...]

Follow Me on Twitter!

Or don’t. That’s cool too. The chances of you missing anything vital to your well-being is slim, unless your well-being depends on what I have for lunch or what I think of the latest MMO outrage! I do usually tweet if I’ve posted anything substantial here though.

Update: Changed the date on this to get it back on the front page for a bit!

In Which Ark’s Ark Is Subject to Mysterious Assault

If you look in its source code, you’ll see a load of links here, but I’m seeing more sites doing this every day, and it [...]

I’ve just started some new medication, and it’s giving me some fairly impressive dizziness and nausea. It’ll most likely just be for a few days while my body is getting used to it, but it does mean that I’m less than eager to go running around in phase 5 of Rift’s Beta test. Hopefully we’ll pick up the liveblog in phase 6.

This post is far too short. Help me out, Mr Reeves!

Unbelievably, that’s really the only video [...]

Ark’s Ark Visitor Browser Usage Stats

Just for fun (or what counts as fun to web-based folks like myself) I thought it might be interesting to post this little bit of data regarding the browsers people used to visit this site. They’re a fair bit different to the ratios shown appearing in Steam’s newly released hardware survey, though of course they have a rather larger sample size! Compared with the Steam sample, we have rather less Firefox, and a lot more Chrome going on.

I’m impressed [...]

In which I shill for my webhost.

I’ve brought this old post from April up from the depths, as just for Black Friday, Arvixe is offering 50% off for life for any of its shared hosting options, if you use the coupon code “Black Friday”, meaning that you can get hosting from just $2 a month. I’m always a little uncomfortable making posts like this, but it is a pretty good deal that might be of interest to some of my readers. Also, I like money.
