Parting is such sweet sorrow. But just moving house is always an adventure and consequently lots of fun.As regular visitors to this blog will have noticed, it's not really had much work done on it for a year now. There have been comments from friends to try and urge me to 'get on with it', as well as some very flattering praise from those of you who appreciate my writing style and perception of

It's been one of those months. You know the kind, where life, career and romance all seem to be non-existent and your time somehow seems to be equally split between sleeping and staring blankly at the same four walls? If it wasn't for my friends I'd have been certifiable weeks ago.I'm fortunate enough to have some good friends, who've put up with a lot of prima-donna BS from me in the last few

Okay, I admit it! I've been remiss in my duty as a 'blogger'. I know I've not posted since the announcement about the book launch, but as a friend has reminded me on several occasions it's better to blog well every now and then rather than to blog badly on a regular basis. That and I haven't really felt like saying much.Now, I'm not saying there haven't been things to rant about. There's been so

I'm back! That's right, I haven't departed this world, I haven't shuffled off my mortal coil, I've merely been enjoying a leave of absence. And what an absence it's been.Firstly, an explanation. I stopped posting in November for a number of reasons, some of which were personal, but mainly so that I could knuckle down and get my novel finished. As anybody who reads these pages will know, I've been

It's midnight, the very witching hour of night as the Bard once put it, and I find myself in one of those unpredictable melancholy moods I'm prone to. Coffee cooling in a monster-sized cup, the ghosts of my last smoke drifting in the air around me, and a million dark thoughts cruising the recesses of my mind. Definitely not a recipe for butterflies and roses.For a lot of different reasons I've

When I was twelve, a TV-movie was released in Britain entitled Threads. It's one of the few movies that has genuinely scared me; it terrified me. Even now there are scenes in the movie that make me break out in a cold sweat.I suffered the very same reaction when I read about the latest escapades of the schoolyard bully GWB and his cronies. For those who haven't heard this story yet, the US

I was doing a little random browsing tonight and on a whim I decided to have a look at my old blueyonder website, fully expecting it to have been purged by now. Imagine my surprise when I realised it's still there.I never really got very far with the site, and a lot of the ideas I had for it fell by the wayside, but if you want an insight into the origins of this blog you might want to take a

According to the Bible, God created pretty much everything that exists on this planet (and most of space, apparently) in just six days. According to modern scientific belief, it took a little longer than that. And since then pretty much the entire human race has been arguing over which version of events is right.Today, there's a story about this very argument on BBC News. Apparently, The Dover

Just a quick post tonight before I wend my weary way to bed. I was scanning the news and I found a report about the RIAA's ongoing battle against music piracy. It makes for some interesting reading.For those who don't know about this one, it basically boils down to the Recording Industry Association of America's attempt to squeeze as much money as possible out of the music industry. For the last

One of my earliest posts on this blog was a particularly vehement rant about the futility of violence. Recently I reitirated my point with my remembrance of the final act of WWII. And today I read on the BBC about the continued escalation of tensions in the Middle East.In the last couple of days there have been a number of stories linked to Iraq. The first that caught my attention was on Saturday

I was skimming through the international news, skimming over the five-hundredth report about the playground bully's latest escapades in Iraq (more about that later ... I'm researching) when I found an interesting story on the BBC.Ostensibly it's about the latest paying space-traveller, Gregory Olsen. I've got to admit, this guy isn't just taking a holiday up there; from what I can see he's the

I can now happily confirm that I have indeed regained my writing bug. Strangely enough it returned only shortly after I received word that I have been accepted for one of the jobs I applied for. It's a pretty good job, with a pretty good pay-packet, and I'm looking forward to starting on Monday. The hours suit me, the work environment's not too shabby; all in all, good news for me.Of course, this

Good morning Sleepsville, and welcome to the new look. It's still all shiny and new, but unlike most things in the IT industry it's been released ahead of schedule.There are a few tweeks that I still need to make (such as some minor typography problems...), but what you're seeing now is pretty much how the blog is going to look from now on. All being well, there shouldn't be too many bugs, but if

I have an apology to make. I know that I've been remiss in my duty as a blogger recently and I can only hope that you all forgive me. Obviously that assumes that there's even an 'all of you' to care. Okay, I know that there are a few people out there reading this, so to those of you who keep popping back, my thanks for your interest and my apologies for not posting more.Part of the problem is

Hi Sleepsville. I was just taking a break from being creative and thought I'd share a picture with you, and that only because it's something nice to look at.I've been busy with writing the last few days, as well as learning the inner-mysteries of CSS and HTML, hence the change of decor around here. I've also set up accounts for flickr and HaloScan, so it'll not be long before they're added. All

I've been deliberately silent on the subject of Hurricane Katrina and the effect she's had on Louisiana. I watched live feeds from the New Orleans webcams, with the storm approaching the city and the night sky very slowly lightening. And then the city's power failed but I still saw enough to shock me into keeping my mouth shut for this long.I don't have the resources to go and help the victims in

You'll have to excuse me for not being as acerbic as normal with my rant today, but to be honest, I think I'm in shock. I woke up this morning expecting to find one news story dominating every single one of my international feeds. I was so sure that I'd spend the morning reading the same article over and over again, distributed by numerous agencies, that when I didn't find any reference

What is a writer? I've been trying to find the right words to start this post for the last half an hour, composing one witty opener after another, deleting each as I realise just how cheesy, or schmaltzy, or downright pathetic they sound, and this has led me to question what it is that I actually do. What, when all is said and done, is a writer?The Storyteller: The first job of any writer is to

Just to prove that I'm not always ranting about bad things, I thought I'd share this news story from National Geographic with you.The concept of the 'Beanstalk', or as it's now known, the Space Elevator, has been around for years. Arthur C Clarke suggested the idea in his 1979 novel, The Fountains Of Paradise, and since then it's been a popular sci-fi commodity. Take a string, carry one end into

A friend of mine, Steve, is an entertainer by trade. One of his skills is fire-breathing, not to be confused with fire-eating which is a totally different skill and tends to lead to a lot of heartburn, apparently... But anyway, Steve's a fairly proficient fire-breather, and when he's working outside local nightclubs it all looks very spectacular.For his job, he uses paraffin, a fossil-fuel

Hi folks. I hope you've all been checking the news while I've been gone. If you have, and you pay any attention to UK news, you may have seen the BBC report on the new Anti-Smoking poll conducted by ASH. I read the article, and to be honest, my initial reaction was to pass it over; anybody in the UK (as well as the States and Australia, from what I can tell) will have lived with anti- and

Sorry. I'm listening to Pink Floyd and I couldn't think of anything else for the title. So sue me.So, where have I been? Why did I suddenly disappear off the planet? The simple answer is real life invaded my bubble of fantasy for a while. Everything's sorted out now and I'm back on broadband; I can't even begin to explain how much I've missed my fat pipe.So, for those three people who care,

Hey hey people. I know that I've been more than silent just recently - I've been damn near invisible. Quick apologies to anybody who has been following my ramblings, and an assurance that I will be back on form very soon. I'm limited to a dial-up ISP right now, but should have trusty old fat-pipe back within a fortnight. Yay!.I have a few rants prepared to upload as soon as I've re-immersed

It's been a while since I posted anything, and for that I'm sorry. It's lax of me, I know, but what can I say? I'm only human.To be honest the reason I've not posted is because I've not really had much to say. My life's ticking along quite comfortably right now and things are looking good. Of course, there are the down sides but they're not that bad so I can easily get on with things without

I have a challenge for computer game developers. I want you, the game developers, to produce the ultimate computer game.It's a concept that a few friends and I originally came up with when we were kids. I know that the chances are that every computer-gaming kid in the world has designed their own version of the ultimate game, and that ours was probably nothing special, but that's not a problem.

I was reading an article about blogger-burnout a few weeks ago, and looking at the frequency of my own posts on here I wouldn't blame a lot of people for thinking I've hit the burnout already. Lots of activity when I first started posting, quickly becoming a slow trickle. The thing is, I've not had much to say; no rants for a while, no pearls of philosophical wisdom, no quirky little confessions.

I really hate shaving. In fact, there are a lot of things that take up time in my day that I hate. Mostly it's things that make no sense, like shaving. I mean, why on earth do I shave? The only reason for shaving is to look "presentable." WTF does that mean? I'm a mammal; I grow hair. I'm a male human; I grow hair on my face. It's a natural part of who I am. Why the fuck does society think that

Time to unwind a little; time to bare a bit of soul over the internet.The last couple of days have been pretty weird. Friday afternoon Julie, my ex-wife, finally moved out of the house that's been our home for the last three years. In a few weeks I should be doing the same; saying goodbye to the old and stepping into the new. It's a change I've been waiting for and building to for a long time now

I'm in a bit of a transitional period at the moment. For those who don't know me, here's a little background.In the last year, I've gone through a lot of changes. I'm separating from my wife of eight years, we've just sold our house so I need to find a place to live, I'm a hop, skip and jump away from finishing two major projects that have been in my life for over a decade, I've jumped head-first

WTF is organic food? Or more importantly, WTF is inorganic food?It’s a simple enough question, but one which seems to confuse a lot of people. Most food that we humans eat is made from things that grow and live, such as apples, potatoes, soya protein, animal bits, etc. Aren’t these organic? Let’s check.Dictionary.com does a good job of providing definitions, and when we search for organic we get

Most writers have to deal with it at some point; getting a letter through the post attached to the barely mauled copy of your bestest writing ever that simply says, "sorry, not good enough." It's probably one of the most damning reactions a writer can ever receive. Yet every single one of us has to put up with it, and usually quite often (the reason you hear about the writers who've never faced

I don't know if you've been paying much attention recently, but it seems that role-playing is once again being attributed to real deaths.The original story to start this little blame-throwing exercise is on MSN. It explains how two young men in Brazil, having been arrested for the ritual murder of a banker and his family, admitted that it was all a part of a role-playing game. This then led to

Anybody who knows me will know that I like to be controversial, and I guess it would be wrong of me to disappoint my fans. With that in mind, I've decided to offer up my own review of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and to be honest, I could probably do that with just one word: pathetic.Okay, maybe one word isn't enough to express how thoroughly disappointed I am with the whole Star Wars

I've been changing the world and it's all Frank Miller's fault.Over the last couple of days I've been working on an idea for a new story; a serialised comic-book style romp in prose, an homage to the penny-westerns of the fifties and an escape back to the days of my own childhood. I initially considered writing it stylistically, with the good guy in white and the bad guy in black. I wanted heroes

Following on from GWB's threatened veto earlier this week, I was interested to read this article from Reuters today. In it, he continues to express his discomfort with the potential change in stem-cell legislation by saying that such a change would violate his own policy from 2001 by "...creating new incentives for the ongoing destruction of emerging human life..." Okay, so I guess this clarifies

I don't tend to watch that much TV these days. I've started to lose faith in the ol' goggle-box recently and there's not that much on that draws my attention. Sci-Fi shows are dumbing down again, losing their balls; cop shows are predictable and over-dramatised; science and discovery programs aren't telling me anything I can't learn on the internet or by going out and experiencing it personally.

Mankind is not the dominant species on this planet. Okay, maybe that's not news to anybody else but from what I've seen in the press, fiction, theology and philosophy, and from what I've heard in conversations with other people, I'm guessing that you're now thinking that I've lost the plot. Everything you've been taught, from birth to the present day, has brainwashed you into thinking that we are

Okay, I'm probably shaking up a big ol' hornet's nest here, but I think that GWB has finally lost the plot. According to Reuters yesterday, he's warned that if an expected vote on the loosening of stem-cell research is successful, he's going to personally veto the legislation. He's also expressed concern over South Korea's research into human cloning. Let's look at these two topics separately,

Just finished my morning round of news, courtesy of RSS Feeds. The usual collection of war, famine, plague, death, loss and foreshadowings of doom. It seems that stem-cell therapy might be bad for you, increasing the risk of a number of diseases including CJD. WTF? Just yesterday it was being lauded as the amazing wonder-cure. Why can't we have something that's good for us without all the nasty

I've mentioned my writing twice now, so I figured it was about time I showed you what I'm so proud of. I'm only going to post the stories here that have either already been published (the rights have all reverted to me a long time ago) or that I'm not planning on submitting. These stories are from me to you, given freely. Please don't abuse the gift by trying to profit from it.This first story is

For those of you who don't know already, I write primarily sci-fi, spec-fic and fantasy. Over here in Blightly, there are really only two or three magazines that cater to what is commonly seen as a niche market, with Interzone and The Third Alternative being the two main ones. The latter is a fairly recent addition to the marketplace but the first, Interzone, has been around for a long time. At

If somebody were to ask me how I'd spent my afternoon today, I'd tell them that I'd spent it writing. But that's not strictly true.In addition to writing (just over fifteen hundred words today), I've browsed the internet, prepared and eaten food, prepared and consumed coffee, smoked a little (yeah, I know - filthy habit, pollutes the atmos ... ya-di-ya-di-yaa), listened to music, chatted with a

There are a lot of things that get on my nerves these days. Most of them are related to the problems in the world, such as starvation, capitalism, the decline of society, racism, sexism, ageism - a whole bunch of ism's, actually - and it was hard for me to decide which thing to choose for this, the first rant of my brand new blog.I considered politics, but that would take more than just the one

Hey, I've got a blog!In case you hadn't figured it out, this is my first real attempt at keeping one of these things and for the time-being it's probably not going to make much sense. Over time, I'll be posting various things on here and who knows, it may even follow a pattern. For now, however, you'll just have to bear with me until I can organise my thoughts into something that's readable and
