		<description><![CDATA[This site&#8217;s domain expires on 14/09/2010, I think it&#8217;s also the time around which I&#8217;ll have to renew my hosting. I&#8217;ve been thinking about this, a lot. For one renewing this hosting &#38; domain would be somewhere in the region of £70, however I look at it I always get the feeling the price has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we sit in Cameron&#8217;s Britain, and it&#8217;s not that bad, we still have running water, the hospitals haven&#8217;t been privatised (yet), and the angry masses are all at home watching Hollyoaks. So, one might think I was a little hasty when I wrote a protracted rant predicting the apocalyptic future of Conservative Britain. I was also [...]]]></description>

Feel free to come along, myself and Graeme will probably be lurking somewhere around and it&#8217;s really not that large a space so you&#8217;ll find us easily. Drinks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the weekend I went and bought Tomb Raider: Underworld and Kameo: Elements of Power on the understanding that they were both British games and only £5 each. So far Kameo has truly entranced me as a Fable-eqsue fairytale fantasy directly influenced by Lord of the Rings. Despite this I&#8217;ve been playing Tomb Raider the [...]]]></description>

Either the school is taken over by a private corporation, or we save it by taking it into collective ownership, I&#8217;ve already had worries over the legality of children owning shares in a co-op, and I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

And I&#8217;ve had the lyrics for Anatomy of your Enemy by Anti-Flag floating around for a while. They&#8217;re vaguely relevant to the situation, so I&#8217;ve re-published them here in a modified form: First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last tweet-up Graeme Hunter approached me with the suggestion of creating a sort of framework for gamers in Oxford. The idea behind it being that it&#8217;s akin to a tweet-up, and if it&#8217;s possible to gather people in one space to talk about social media, why could the same concept not be applied to video [...]]]></description>

And I liked it, especially when I go to meet Carrington the fat Scottish man who&#8217;d been organising/narrating all the operations so far. I was really surprised when Chandra betrays Joanna, or at least I think she betrays her&#8230; It had just the right amount of Cyberpunk style, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not a big fan of many racing games so they all seem the same: GRID, Blur, Split/Second, PGR 4, Need for Speed: Shift, Gran Turismo. All apart from Burnout Paradise, which I actually own and [...]]]></description>

The thermal switch stops the bulb from lighting and blinks with a yellow orange error message that something&#8217;s gone wrong. The projector is a Sanyo PLV-Z5, and in order to open it [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s raised serious questions regarding freedom of speech which I&#8217;ve tried but not entirely succeeded to dismiss. And so I present some more solutions to this problem. A disadvantage of a media industry influenced by capitalism is that it [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t have many but I don&#8217;t want them to disappear, so here they are in a gallery: I realise they were all taken from Powerhouse, I don&#8217;t know why I didn&#8217;t take screenshots [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s by all means an impressive device, and I admire it&#8217;s aesthetic simplicity, yet overall it&#8217;s a flawed product. The reason I see it as flawed is that it&#8217;s not open.
