Still Alive

I know, I know, I fell bad about not updating, so please don't hate me.

There hasn't been much to report, tbh. Mum's surgery went fine, and she got out a day or two after my last update. Unfortunately, the staff on her surgical ward screwed up the laxative medicine they gave her, so she wasn't quite as 'cleared out' as the surgeon was hoping for. That meant that he wasn't able to get a good look at everything he wanted to when he was removing her gall bladder. He booked her in for a scan, so they could try and spot anything sinister. The scan itself went ok, if a bit more severe than my mum had been led to believe, but unfortunately she won't get the results for a week or so yet. So, more chances to 'wait and see'. Someone remind me how lucky we are to have the NHS?

On my side of the tracks, there's even less to report. Work is going to be getting busier as we're losing one of the engineers on our team to another contract. Not the end of the world, but it means I'll probably end up doing some real work instead of skiing most of the time :(

I've been busy over the last couple of weeks, putting together a big article for Massively, 'A Return to Star Wars Galaxies'. I used to play Galaxies pretty hardcore for a couple of years, but got tired of it and left before they released their 'New Game Enhancements', which quite literally completely changed the game. I haven't played it since then, so I grabbed the 14-day free trial and put together an article, nearly 4000 words long, giving my impressions of the game. I'm rather proud of it, so go check it out.

In unrelated news, my G4 iBook has started acting up, seeing as how I've had it for nearly 5 years now and it's ran without a problem all that time, I'm not too bothered, I just need to figure out how to trouble-shoot OS X!
