About

Start­ing out

If you’re a new vis­itor, there are plenty of ways to get the meas­ure of things. Anime is well catered for with fre­quent reviews and pre­views based on the first three epis­odes of a series; some one-off fea­tures include a run-down of the top ten anime of the 2000 – 2009 dec­ade as well as a review for each of the seven Kara no Kyoukai movies. My sporadic post­ings on code primar­ily focus on web devel­op­ment with art­icles on my Ahab vs the whale struggle against geo­cod­ing and map­ping, as well as an auto­mated screen­shot maker for video files, Conway’s Game of Life for avatars and reverse engin­eer­ing an archive file format. Video games are only rarely covered how­ever there are two nar­rated video series on per­fect play­throughs of Hit­man: Blood Money and Hit­man: Con­tracts. Posts on other top­ics may crop up from time to time includ­ing hol­i­day write ups and the odd edit­or­ial.
