I've decided to resurrect Wyrd Ways. This time, though, the Pagan and Magic stuff is restricted access. The main focus of the site is comics, music, film, TV and literature. Basically, stuff I'm more interested in. If you're interested, the URL is http://wyrdways.hostingdelivered.com/. As it stands, you'll have to join as a member to access any of the site. You'll also have to post an introduction so we know who you are, what your interests are, and so on. Once you're a member, you'll have f… Continue

Well, it looks like Wyrd Ways is done.

Seems that the new management at eAmped kept all their proverbial eggs in one basket, and when that basket went south, it took everything with it.

Thing is, do I make a new start on a new server (since all the data's gone, there's no archives, etc), or just say "ah, fuck it" and not bother?

Do I start a new, broader Wyrd Ways with more than just Heathenry, Paganism and Magic (no, not the card game wankery, I mean the altering real… Continue

Could go to the Wakey Elemental Moot, but really don't know if I can be arsed. Same people every time, and I'm nowhere near as fond of them as I used to be. Give them long enough and they start to annoy. The things you first thought were quite endearing, when you realize they're not changing and growing up, really start to grate pretty badly.

I predict the "business" will be tits-up by this time next year. They'll have got bored of it. It'll be too much like hard work. Pyropixie and Sar… Continue

I now have a Nintendo DS Lite.

Got it from Argos. One of my local ones had the gamers packs in. That was the DS with a accessory pack and a couple of games (Pokemon Pearl and Crash Bang Boom or something). OK, it cost more than the one from Tescos, but it had one more game, it had games I'd at least heard of the characters from, and there's an accessory pack.

The biggest bonus is that I didn't have to buy something from Tescos.

I hate Tescos. They play th… Continue

Amazon.co.uk have got a special offer running until the end of December (at least) whereby if you pick a DS and a game from their list, you get it for £109. Thing is, they won't even let you tick the box to buy a DS as part of the offer!

Looked at both Currys and Argos websites, and there aren't any within a 10 mile radius, which I'm not surprised at, but what does surprise me is that there's no way of ordering one online to either get it delivered or pick it up when they do come in.… Continue
