Whenever I do web design bits and bobs I always check to see how how the site looks in various browsers. Firefox is my browser of choice and the new version of this blog looks fine, however it does look a bit dodgy in Internet Explorer 8 and this is even under compatibility view.
I will not be messing around making sure this site displays correctly in Internet Explorer, web standards have changed quite a bit in the last decade and it’s about time Microsoft caught up. If you’re viewing this site in Internet Explorer, I would suggest you switch to one of the following browsers:
I finally did it

I’ve been meaning to introduce my layout to the blog since just after I started it up and now I’ve finally accomplished it. Granted, it was an extremely lazy move from me! What you’re seeing here is the modified layout for my old Total Gamer website, which has been tweaked to suit Word Press. It’s not bad, it’s functional and that’s all that really matters.
I’ll be making further changes over the coming days as there are a few more bits I want to change here and there.
Oh my god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much rage on an Internet forum. Today was supposed to be the early release of the Left 4 Dead 2 demo for those who have pre-orders for the game, while XBox 360 owners got their greasy mitts on it first thing this morning PC gamers had to wait until 8pm.
Bandwidth oopsie!

During the last five years of being on broadband I haven’t ever had any regard for the download limits put in place by my ISP. This is mainly because I’ve been on the unlimited usage package – which has turned out not to be so unlimited after all. As for the very first time I have been slapped with a Fair Usage email by my provider moaning that I’ve downloaded 80GB this month and if I hit 100GB they will proceed to slow my connection during peak times (5pm – 12am).
Y’know I could’ve swore I’ve downloaded more than this in a single month before, especially when I used to download loads of anime, particularly Bleach (huge series).
Anyway, how did I hit this limit? Well, lets say Windows updates (twice!), downloading Steam games (twice, again – also includes Unreal Tournament 3 which is 8GB a pop, ouch!), Youtube videos in HD and of course, good ol’ torrents have contributed nicely.
Now the question is, in the remaining six days of this month, do I slow down my usage and risk slow internets or do I continue as I mean to go on? Weeeeeell, the latest episode of Dexter will be available tonight.
