Check this out: a magazine goes to great lengths to promote a big demo on its coverdisc, but fails to supply necessary driver to run said game. I must have been asleep when Microsoft bought Mechwarrior from Activision, but they're sure going to town with MW4, especially since it requires that blessing/curse of all PC games: DirectX, version 8 being the latest incarnation. PC Player included DX7 on the disc, of course, 'cos that's useful...

...which is why I've to spend nearly an hour downloading 8...not impressed.

Whoah...
I am overwhelmed by the weirdness that is Bowie. Perhaps someone could explain? (I don't like mailtos either...)

About

This is LeSinge.org v3.0. It's on its sixth* server since I registered the domain name in November of 2000 and it has gone through several drastic facelifts in that time, usually prompted by some cataclysmic event like someone deleting a load of files they shouldn't, or a server being shut down. This is the maddest layout yet; I'm trying to fit the entire weblog (apart from diary archives and the gallery) into a single loading page using all sorts of PHP-generated DHTML jiggery-pokery. The idea is to make it more inviting to look around since there's no loading between "pages". It's still a work in progress (more a proof of concept than anything), so be patient!

I'm Dave Whyte, an Irish CS graduate, German speaker, linguist and incredibly talented web developer. I'm originally from Fermoy but I now live in Newbridge with my wife Beth and our son. I'm currently working for these fine folks and enjoying it greatly.

"The Monkey"? Eh?

My nom de guerre comes from an old Eddie Izzard comedy sketch.
