The Missing Circuit Element – The Memristor

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

I don’t pretend to be anything of an expert, or even very knowledgeable, in the area of electronics however it is something that interests me.  When I read the many science focused articles around the net I eventually find myself absorbing information about the world of the resistor, capacitor, inductor.  Recently one such time I found myself reading an extremely interesting article about a ‘missing’ area of electronics that only a decade ago was discovered and only recently gaining speed.  When I say missing I mean it in the way that many elements in the periodic table were missing in days past.  This missing circuit element is named the memristor (with the memcapacitor closely following).

Mechwarrior is Back!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Wow.  I think that’s the first word to pop into my head when I read the rumours yesterday and the official announcement this morning.  Out of nowhere and the cold ashes of a boxed franchise comes one of my greatest loves – Mechwarrior (Battletech).

RE: Comscare Because I Care :)

Over the last month or so I have felt that myself and a few old friends from university have drifted apart and no longer keep in contact or chat about the geeky stuff we used to while we were on our course.  Of course not all of us drifted apart.  Myself, CWolf & Pringle still keep in regular contact and often play games in the evenings; and I occasionally met up with Karrde/Soupmonster since he lived with CWolf.

968 Miles to Hell

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

I haven’t blogged in a long, long time but no time like the present – especially if it’s a rant.  I recently moved back to Cardiff and my company allows for consultants to stay at hotels if they live far enough away.  I was told the move was fine and so I did just that.  Now they refuse to pay for my hotel room and I’ve enter laborious negotiations to be allowed some sort of accommodation.  Meanwhile I drive from Cardiff to Reading every day and that trip clocks in at a massive soul destroying 968 miles a week (luckily I can work from home on the Friday!).

Ugh, I can’t believe how tired I feel today… and there I was thinking I had a good night sleep.  Didn’t require much effort to actually get up this morning but was still an incredible effort to keep from jumping back into bed during my morning routine of getting ready for work.  Although, this was probably due to having a sexy red-head in it at the time ;) .

Back in business

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Whoa, I really hate doing that but it was required.

I just finished writing a php script that read all my old blog posts from the old database in the old format (my own custom blogging system), converted it all into the WordPress format and then inserted it into this blog’s database.

I had to do it before when I updated my own blog system (before I totalled my site).  I’ve decided to take the easy way out at last, but getting all my old posts back definitely wasn’t easy.  However, it worked with amazing success and to top it off, it was all coded via SSH and nano :D

Welcome!

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Hola,

Welcome to my new blog.  I’m currently in the process of converting all my old posts across from my old blogging system, so this site will be bare for a while till I get around to it.  So you may as well come back later.

Ciao!

Changed Hosting

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

soulesscomic.com hosting ended and I couldn’t afford to stay with them so I’ve moved to A Small Orange.  They seem pretty good at the moment other than their customer support when I had trouble.  Got back to me pretty fast but not very helpful.

I’m working my way through MODES, had to put my Half Life 2 mod on hold until end of university however. I was getting into that a lot around christmas time, pity.  Fixed my broken car, bought a new monitor to replace broken one, need to rearrange my jury duty.  Last week has been a  busy time, glad it’s slowing down again.

  • Ultimate Showdown HL2 mod planning

Stress Rising, Illness Rising: Rant Away!

Monday, August 14th, 2006

Recently revising has reached a boiling point.  It’s the third time I’m resitting these exams, and not due to lack of revising either.  Information I revise never sticks in my head so this time I changed my technique and doubled my efforts.  I think it’s paying off having sat one exam today, Algorithms II and Data Structures, with it handling nicely.  Four more to go.
