    So... yeah...

    My blog is now, as you can most likely see, unless you are colour blind, or partially-sighted, or using a text-based browser, or apply your own style-sheet to all web pages in order to minimize the chance of your boss spotting that you're surfing, mostly green. Substantially uglier than the old template, yes, but also a fair bit less default, in the hope that symbolically taking more active ownership of it will encourage me to post more. We'll see. I do wish I had some iota of design skill, however. I am generally useless as far as the visual arts are concerned. I can't draw for toffee, and you wouldn't want me choosing the decor for your house unless you like white, white and more white since I know that any attempt to apply a more adventurous colour scheme will be of a similar standard to my old flat's eye-watering bright-yellow-and-green combination.

    No noisecast this week, since my free time is being absorbed by my new G6 Flash. This is a nifty little gadget that allows the execution of "homebrew" applications (and... er... "backups" of commercial software) to run on the Nintendo DS. I primarily bought it for the emulation possibilities - the prospect of playing 20-year-old NES games on the train fills me with geeky joy - but being able to have a bunch of NDS and GBA games on a single cartridge is also mighty convenient. I'm hoping to try my hand at some DS development soon, and I'll post the results here as soon as there's anything to see other than dramatic crashes.

    The next consumer electronic item I buy will most likely be a massive memory card for my camera since, as previously mentioned, we're taking a long weekend in Iceland at the beginning of September. I am stupidly excited, and rapidly becoming an Iceland bore, though I won't inflict tedious reams of Icelandic trivia on you just yet. Needless to say, a great many pictures will be taken and Flickred.
