Hi there.
A good friend of mine is running his balls off to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
If any of you kind folk would like to make a donation, please visit:

Nonsensical Speed Limits
Ok here's the deal. In my country (UK) our urban speed limit has typically been 30 Miles Per Hour (MPH).
For whatever reason, I've now seen 20 MPH limits cropping up all over the place, recently including my local area.
Look at it from a drivers perspective, this is really bad for a few reasons:
I can no longer safely overtake a push bike.
My car uses more fuel being stuck in second gear.
Emissions are higher due to higher revving gear.
If I can change gear to 3rd, nearly always have to get back to second again.
The gearbox in my car will wear out quicker.

After checking some of my web stats from various sites it seems that a considerable majority of people are still using Windows XP with a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 or LESS.
XP doesn't surprise me entirely but the screen resolutions do.
Random post over, carry on.

Unreal Engine 3 For Free?
If you've ever wanted to get stuck into game creation, why not use a next gen engine such as Unreal Engine 3?
Why not, they've released it for free :)
Well not quite, seems this is just an Unreal Development Kit - there is no actual game or engine source code here. Shame really, that truly would of been awesome :)
