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.
