Suspiciously good weather

I thought it was always supposed to rain on Bank Holidays? And yet, we’ve had glorious sunshine and warm temperatures all weekend up where we stay. It’s meant I’ve managed to get very little preparation done for my new job, recruiting for special needs teaching jobs, but I’m pretty sure everyone in the office will be the same by the time we all drag ourselves back into the office on Tuesday morning, hungover, sun burnt and depressed that our four-day weekend is finished…
I love technology and there’s no doubt it has made all our lives easier and more pleasurable. There’s always a downside to that, though, and in my opinion this is the fact that technology advances have made it easier for all of us to do work at home. Not so long ago, we clocked out at 5pm on a Friday afternoon and that was that. Unless you could phsyically take home paper reports or calculations, then your weekend was work-free.
Now, if you have a tight deadline then there is definitely the pressure on workers to “take some work home” over the weekend. As I say, I have several emails in my inbox with messages from my new boss; suggestions of sites I should check out, reports I should read, forms I can get filled in online now and save time when I get into the office on Tuesday. I know I should get it all done and make a good impression on the new boss, but when the sun is shining, it’s just too tempting to switch off the laptop and get out there and enjoy it. After all, when was the last time you can remember having a sunny bank holiday??

Halo

I hadn’t touched Halo until yesterday. Yes and if your wondering, it been a long time since the game had come out but i felt the gap I was in, the experience I missed out on. The thrill when you sit and wait in the interim 5 days away from the launch of the sequel. But with no regrets, the game is till in circulation. I picked up one for 50 pence from a second hand store.
The point to be made is at that time, Halo was a creation made from base to up reaching infinity. The story made from thin air didn’t necessarily create havok in the games industry at the time (with the release of the usual supermarios and GTA 3 stealing the show) Halo was not fully recognized but it got enough attention. The sequel was not the kind that beats its predecessor but Halo 3 was the icing on the cake. It gave the new potential console purchaser to go for the Xbox 360 rather than the PS3. From there on, Halo ODST and Reach have been smash hits. Unfortunately I don’t have the money to afford another console (as I own a PS3) but surely I will get my hands on it later.
While new solitaire model games will still remain all time classics, Halo will be remembered for up lifting the new age spirits of shooters to a whole a different dimension. Taking the war to outer space got Halo the honor it now receives. It surely was a watershed moment of 2001.

The Pentiums Vs. Energy Consumption

How often do you actually think about the energy it takes to power your laptop, PC, X-Box or PS3? All of these machines consume vast quantities of energy, almost 100 watts more than a standard 32” LCD TV consumes. Interestingly most of the peripherals hardly use any energy at all – the X-Box wireless controllers do not even register on the consumption lists mostly because they are always in radio communication with the machine itself.
