Where do I begin, to tell the story of how great our love can be…?
My last update featured a sketch that I had done of a Sonic picture. Well, I have been busy creating more sketches, this time of Tails, Knuckles and Shadow. Admittedly, they are not perfect, nor original but as I haven’t practiced (and practice always makes perfect, right?) these are all images “sight-traced” from real image I had on-screen. Feel free to browse them and comment on them over on my DeviantArt profile.
Since the last update, I have left the Norwich City Concert Band (something that needs to be updated on the Music page), after several niggles with certain members of the band. Do I miss playing with them? I suppose in a sense I do, but as the band wasn’t progressing and not getting along with certain members, I thought it was best if I left them to it.
I’ve been on holiday!! Three times! I spent a week in Wales, touring many of the narrow-gauge railway attractions that Wales has to offer, along with meeting relatives that I’ve only ever spoken to on Facebook or over the phone. One thing I need to do to this site is find a way to add a gallery so that you can see all of my photos.
Immediately after returning from Wales, I was invited down south, to Kent, to visit Page, Chrissie and family. We spent the extended weekend (Saturday to Monday) gaming and creating Atari 2600 games. If it hadn’t been for Page, I probably wouldn’t have gone back to assembly language programming as this was one of the things I had learnt in school but haven’t needed to use, up until now!! A few weeks later, I was invited to stay with them for a week, rather than a weekend, and more gaming and programming occurred! Not only that, but the Friday of that week saw another first for RadioSEGA – should have been a first about 3 or so months previous but changes of situation meant that on that Friday, SEGA AGES was broadcast “on-the-road”, as in away from home. Not only that, but by sheer coincedence, the theme for the show was actually to play the music from SEGA’s driving games!
Finally, the latest update, following on from Atari programming is the switch to another platform beginning with A. At work, I’ve been looking into building Android apps. Taking one of our accredited standards, BS25999 – Business Continuity Management, I wrote an information style app that allows staff members to take the paper-based “Aide Memoire” with them in electronic form. The app has been marked for release but after testing it on a Samsung Galaxy S, there are a few enhancements that can be made.
And, that’s it! Hopefully, I’ll remember to keep you all up to date more often!
