Hi
all. Welcome to the fifth anniversary of the blog. I have several things I
would like to talk about in this special post.
“History
of the Blog”
About
a month before the blog started, I started write a log which I only shard with
a selected number of people. But then one day Blaire, an old online friend of
mine who I had a crush on back then which the log did talk a lot about back
then, said that if I do not start posting them online, she will stop reading. I
asked her about a good place to do it and she pointed me to Blog Spot/Blogger.
The log has changes over the years and still is going strong. This has shocked
me as I have tried making websites in the past, but always gave up after
several months. At the start of this year thing did seem to be on a downer due
to personal problem “THAT I WILL NOT RECOVER HERE” as talking about it here
coursed problems with the problems. But luckily the blog has survived, it just
lost “Life” section of the “Neoscream’s Life” posts where I took about what I have
been doing, dreams that I have had and my thoughts and feelings. So sadly now I
do not really talk about what I have been doing during the week outside gaming
and what things I have been watching/buying. This has led to a reduction of the
number of set weekly posts to two a week.
In
the being I use to write the log/blog in a note pad during the day and then
type it up in the evening. This took up too much time as I was writing it
twice. I then decided to pick up a BlackBerry to save time and then I moved on
to a HTC Flyer tablet. Nowadays I write it on a Samsung Note 2 and save the
work in on Dropbox. So when I post, I can do it on my computer without messing
around downloading off the phone or dealing with trying to do pictures on the
bleeping blogger app. Yes you can do pictures on the app, but they all end up
at the bottom of the post as you cannot place them like you can on a computer.
Sadly
I was hoping to do a redo to the site will a new look that had site draw images
(by me or someone else) then using image I got off the web. I might try to
slowly work on this.
“Gaming
Event Update”
Wargames
Workshop MK Is open on Monday, but only from 6PM to 11PM. Normally It is close
on Bank Holidays, but they will be open more for game Is bank holiday. I do
plan on going. Oh and the gaming evenings start at 6PM or 7PM.
“Some
Bad WWE News”
Yesterday
I received some bad news that will sadly change the blog. AJ is retiring from in
ring WWE action. The statement does not really say that she will not be doing
anything with the WWE anymore or wrestling outside the WWE, just that she is
retiring from in ring action with the WWE. If she is still going to be working
with the WWE, I would love to have her on commentary on ever Raw or Smackdown.
This
will most likely mean that there will be no more AJ section in the “Neoscream’s
Life” post, yet another blow to the post. What will replace it? Not a beeping
clue.
“Life”
OK
technically I do not do this section in posts any more, however I do what to
talk about what I have been doing this week as I have been off work and as this
is an Anniversary post. This does not include how I am feeling, problems in my
life (other than space based) or people I know (well a couple of names are
mentioned. I know that the Baka, Immad, will be upset.
I
have been busy this week tidying my pit hole bedroom and up grading my
computer. I have taken photos before I really started on Monday:
 |
| The Black framed storage draws were a new thing that was added during the weekend |
Of
Thursday evening before emptying/remove the old chest of drawers:
 |
| The Computer and TV set-up |
 |
| Hobby Area |
 |
| The old chest of draws that I am/have gotten rid of. The wheels at the bottom where no longer standing up and the draws where a nightmare to open and close (why the top three draws were open. |
And
on Friday when most of the major work was done.
|
| Opps. Been too busy with my room I forgot to change the calender to April. |
 |
| Two Shades of Turquoise |
 |
| A more tidy hobby area |
As
you can see above there was a problem with the chest of draws. Ikea massively changed
the shade of Turquoise they use. Instead of being a light shade like the one I
got a year or two ago, it’s a very dark shade now. Well there goes the match
chest of draws I was hoping for. All that is left real is some more reorganised
to the selves, draws and a couple of small boxes.
With
the computer upgrades, I have moved all the internal parts into a smaller case
as the one Darren H let me was far too big. I have added two new larger hard
drives as I was starting to running out of space. The first drive is a 250GB
SSD for new software and the other is a huge 3TB to up storage and to hold my
music as Windows 8 media software does not like adding stuff off NASs to
liberties for some weird reason. I original forgot it was a problem with me
until Richard got Windows 8 and ran into the same problem. He installed a
second OS, Linx, to play media his media. I have also got some new fans too,
but sadly I cannot install yet due to power connector problems. I just need to
pick up a couple of converters like the one with the case fan. Due to the hard
drives I had to drop any kind of optical drive as the mother board only has
four SATA posts (OK I have an odd feeling you can get splitters). Luckily
optical drives are becoming less and less important and my mum has an external
USB DVD drive which I can borrow if I really need to use one.
“Top
Ten Posts of All Time”
Lastly
I wanted to post a list of the all-time top ten posts (by view count) of this
blog so far. Please note I did this last night, but I dealt that there will be
any real changes between then and when I post this. However after posting this
is a different thing. Sadly it is mostly Cosplay Deviants post then gaming post
which I would prefer these day or Life based post that everyone think it is.
10.
Cosplay Deviants: 15th to 21st July 2013 I am stocked that is not higher as it
has been in the top ten post of the week most of the time (and mostly at first)
since I have added the list to the right hand side of the blog.
1.
Heroclix the 14th of July, Avengers vs JLA part 1 At least the top one is gaming
related.
Well
that is it for this post. So until next time:
