I’ve just finished my November 2009 book – only a couple days late. I had chosen the latest edition of this unfortunately irregular anthology. I say “irregular” as since I’ve resubscribed the editions appear to be coming out less often – in fact I think there will only be three this year rather than four. [...]

I’m a slow reader. It’s not a bad thing, but where some people I know can read a novel in a couple days, I will use up my lunchtime reading a ten-page short story. It can take some motivation to decide to read a novel – hence my preference for the short story. A 300-page [...]

This is a screenshot for “Tribe“, my fairly quick-hack demo which saw something of a new style for my… stuff. I took what I call the “CPU-Approach”, which means a complete disregard [...]

On Monday morning, September 29th 2008, at 2:37am (BST), my wife Catherine gave birth to James Cooper, our son, weighing 7lb 13oz. James is our first child, and so far parenthood is proving to be rather… surreal. You don’t really notice that anything has changed, until at some point you realise that almost everything has. [...]
