Tropic Blunder: the pics

Posted by Rockjaw in Personal on September 25th, 2008

I know I ‘owe’ you a post about the event, but honestly… I don’t know if I want to talk about it. Suffice to say, many old faces were present, many drinks were drunk (but not that many) and good times were had.

In other words, everything I loved about my job, encapsulated in one evening and one very early morning.

To ensure this isn’t a complete loss for those of you who couldn’t make it though, I’ve made a Flickr set (which incidentally, resides on my newly minted ‘Pro’ account, so you can expect more images to make their way online over time).

Enjoy. Back soon.

What face?

UK Games Expo 2008… in one post

Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, Events, Links of Others, MMO-related, Weird self portraits on September 1st, 2008

Yes, so this is three months late. It’s been written in fits and starts. When (if) you get to the end, you might understand a little about the delay. Enjoy.

Let’s start with a quick recap of…

Friday 30th May

Just two weeks after our last VanQuest we were off again, feeling a distinct sense of déja vu as we assembled at the car hire place, packed the van and ended up at Oxford Services for lunch. I find it slightly worrying that I’ve considered – twice – getting a ‘Frequent Customer’ card at the coffee place there.

A series of unexplained slowdowns on the M25 delayed us a bit, but apart from that we made good time, pulling into the Clarendon Suites’ car park before 5pm. Then it was a quick and easy unload, followed by a stress-free setup, the only slight kink being that we had to ‘haXX0r’ the wifi password for the venue.

The fact that we could hack it sort of speaks volumes… Read the rest of this entry »

Consider yourself… linked

Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others on May 25th, 2008

For some reason I have random lyrics and snippets from Oliver! in my head. Why.

Anyway, set up a new blogroll linking category to cover off a few of you called Playas, ‘cos y’all are. Which led me to checking a few places which leads me to pimpin’ ya out with linkage and quotage. Read the rest of this entry »

Comic Expo… Part 2

Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, Events, MMO-related, Personal, Weird self portraits on May 15th, 2008

Apparently I am an elephant, because an elephant never forgets.

As I dropped off to sleep on Friday I remembered that in the same hotel in 2007, I’d overslept thanks to an alarm call that never came. That lingering knowledge probably kept me half-awake through the night, and I woke a little groggy on Saturday – but on time.

Still. Show to get done. No rest for the wicked… Read the rest of this entry »

Comic Expo… Bristol, 2008

Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, Events, MMO-related on May 12th, 2008

In one two post posts. Not four, unlike the last show. Can’t guarantee to be short, though… so that’ll be like last time.

So, we came (again), we saw (again), we conquered (well that might be debatable but we certainly seemed to do alright, thank you). Another Comic Expo has come and gone. Let’s talk about it, shall we? Okay. With pictures? Oh alright then.
