DayZ isn’t technically a game, it’s a mod. But it has got a lot of attention in its own right and seems to be quite popular. In order to play DayZ you need Arma2 Combined Operations. And the patience of a saint. A friend encouraged me to try it with him and since I’d heard [...]

Aren’t phones great?
Posted: 30th October 2012 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: mobile phones, tech, technology
A few years ago I used to hate mobile phones. I didn’t see the appeal of spending money each month on something that basically only sent text messages and made calls. Text messages were an annoyance and I could make a phone call from a landline, so why would I want a mobile? Those were [...]

It’s in very good nick and comes with Ice Cream Sandwich. Apparently they might be giving it Jelly Bean in the near future. I’m considering selling because I want to buy a Nexus 10.

Life’s all about smiles and cries
Posted: 17th September 2012 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: babies
I’ve neglected this blog lately. I have several reasons – I’ve been focusing on other things (personal development, being lazy, my writing) but mostly I’ve been being a Dad. Phew. What a mixed bag that’s been (so far). Stress, arguments, lack of sleep, more sleep, frustration and, just lately, joy. People will harp on about [...]
Will Facebook be around in 20 years?
Posted: 30th April 2012 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: facebook
Soon my child will be welcomed into the world. After seeing the Google adverts for Gmail and G+, I was inspired to do something similar. But as much as Google might be trying to force G+ down our throats, I can’t see it surviving unless they make it essential to our web experience. So my [...]

Any fans of the Terminator series of films know what a hunter-killer is. Looks like they aren’t far from becoming reality… Now all we need is for Skynet to become self-aware. http://xkcd.com/1046/

Feels like a lifetime ago when I first heard a DJ Format song on DJ Yoda’s ‘How to cut and paste’ CD. Then I discovered the magic of Format’s ‘Music for the mature B-boy’ followed by ‘If you can’t join ‘em…beat ‘em’ and was in awe of the dope mixture of beats which I continue [...]
Google Currents – open source is awesome
Posted: 20th February 2012 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: Android, google
If you are an Android fan and have been paying attention, you’ll know there are a few Google apps which we can’t get in the UK yet. Google Music is the biggest one (all your music in the cloud), but there are others. Google Currents is the new news reader with a sexy edge. It’s [...]
Are those happy tears?
Posted: 10th January 2012 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: baby#, mamas and Papas
After finally managing to properly impregnate my wife with my super sperm, I thought it might be nice to find a Christmas present to celebrate our success after previous bad luck. I wanted to give her a gift that was both for our unborn child and for her. I thought about clothes – being able [...]
