Despite the fact that this is my day off, bugs continue to plague me. I’ve been squashing them left and right in the application I’m building at the dayjob, but now they’ve crept into other bits of my life. Yesterday’s audio, for example, does not play correctly. With the source files up at the dayjob,… Continue reading We Apologize For The Inconvenience

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Amélie
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/amelie.mp3] If one were to look up ‘charming’ in the dictionary, the definition would read something like this: 1. pleasing; delightful. 2. using charm; exercising magic power. Of course, that’s an English dictionary. If one were to look up ‘charming’ in a French dictionary, I imagine you would likely see a picture of Audrey Tautou… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Amélie
Okay, Okay. iSurrender. iGive.
The setup in the home office of Beardy McWriterbeard This is something that’s been in the back of my mind for some time now. You can blame three people for it spilling over into my blog. Or you can just blame me for having nothing interesting to say at the moment that I feel you’ve… Continue reading Okay, Okay. iSurrender. iGive.

Four Ecks
Espionage and fabulous cloaks are the Darlok’s specialities. A lot of my friends and co-workers have been losing quite a bit of free time to Civilization V. Had I the free resources, I’d be very likely to join them. Civ 5 is the latest in a very long and storied tradition amongst computer games, one… Continue reading Four Ecks
Cerberus Daily News
As much as I love BioWare, I can’t shake the notion they’ve gone in the wrong direction. You see, they’re developing a Star Wars MMO. Granted, it’s set in the wildly popular and surprisingly rich universe of the Old Republic, the same as their previous RPGs and some of the best comics written in that… Continue reading Cerberus Daily News
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/dragontattoo.mp3] Ever since I introduced the poll that lets fine people like you chime in on which movie gets ‘the treatment’ every week, one film has consistently and patiently waited its turn. I knew of its existence, heard it was extremely well-done and of interest for many reasons, including the fact it’s an adaptation of… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
