If there are only two of you getting a flight, don't rely on the other one to keep track of time. A lesson I considered as Russell and I ran to the gate with -3 minutes to spare, having only moments before been enjoying a breakfast-and-beer repast.
I'm now lying in bed listening to drunken Icelandic people giggle their way up the street outside the window. It's a fascinating language to listen to - some words are easily recognisable; so far we've discovered "Hi", "Bye", "Taxi", and "Tea" translate pretty directly. Other words.. are not so simple. This is partially because the Icelandic alphabet itself is a little different to English: in Iceland they use letters like ð and þ (called 'eth' and 'thorn', respectively), and in 1974 they abolished Z. Of course, as always seems to happen, everyone we've met has spoken perfect English so it really doesn't seem to be an issue.
I'm quite excited about tomorrow, it seems all the tourist gubbins on the web declaring New Year to be a major event in Rekyjavic are quite true - we've had quite a few people in shops etc. tell us how much we're going to love it. I think we'll probably go out to a bonfire or two late in the evening, then back to the apartment building where the owners have invited everyone to have sparkling wine on the roof, while we watch the fireworks. New Year's Eve, metres from my bed? Yes please.
Night all!

Simon the Sorcerer and other reminiscences
I woke up with this tune in my head this morning. It's the theme from Simon the Sorcerer, by Adventuresoft, as remastered by James Woodcock for the ScummVM project.
Simon was originally released in 1993. I'd played a demo on a magazine coverdisc and completely fell in love with it. At the time I was 12, and lived in a surrealist-humoured world of hobbits and elves and goblins* so to see a very similar world in a computer game was wonderful.
[Midly context-establishing but mainly just wistful digression: the same year saw the release of Return to Zork, with its full-motion video (but only if you had an MPEG decoder card.. I find it amusing to consider the same hardware is now inside pretty much any mid-range mobile phone..). Another big adventure release was Myst, although I didn't play it at the time. Simcity 2000 also appeared, which I remember thinking was brilliant purely because it had aliens in it, and of course 1993 also saw the release of Doom.]
And back to Simon. The graphics were (and still are) a delight, they're very low-res by today's standards but you can still see the care and detail that went into the "real world" versions. I wonder if the originals still exist somewhere.. Similarly the music really captures the spirit of the game, kinda cute, often atmospheric, very rarely annoying (I never did like the village shop tune, but then the two-headed shop owner was annoying too so I guess it fits).
Simon was one of a lot of games at the time that came in floppy or CD "talkie" versions, which had recorded dialogue instead of text. Adventuresoft had enough money to get Chris Barrie to do Simon's voice on the talkie version, and the end result is quite good. The quality of the supporting voice talent varies wildly, but overall it works. (As a side rant, the proliferation of CD-ROM meant bad scripts and worse voice acting exploded in the mid-nineties as the games industry became obsessed with "interactive movies". This is still happening - Free Radical claim to have hired RSC actors to do the voice acting for Haze, but the dialogue was still widely panned)
The game's plot is fairly simple: Simon is summoned to a fantasy world - via a spellbook in the attic - to rescue the wizard Calypso from the evil sorcerer Sordid. The details of the plot are then basically made up of parodies of famous fantasy references strung together with occasionally elaborate (but always sensible) puzzles. I suppose the thing that really sticks out though, and the reason I still love the game today, is that a lot of the characters are very well developed. Simon is a master of sarcasm and one-liners, and who could forget the entirely adorable Swampling. As demonstrated in that video, a fair amount of breaking-the-fourth-wall happens, which I'm generally a fan of (Robert Rankin, probably my favourite author, does the literary equivalent throughout his books).
Ahhh, I think the urge to reminisce is leaving me now. Still there's no harm in listening to the remastered music for the rest of the afternoon though..
Maybe I'll talk about Grim Fandango next time :)
*I still have the schoolwork to prove it - including the entirely perplexed comments by my teachers :)

"Chris Russell"
When I first started gaying it up round Newcastle every second person I bumped into was called Chris, and googling "Chris Russell" suggests the whole name is quite common too.
Recently I joined Facebook.. and it occurred to me today: how many Chris Russells can I find?
A general name search finds over 500, unsurprisingly, so I restricted the search to the Manchester group.
There are only 18 Chris Russells in Manchester, according to Facebook.
But now I was interested - with such a small group it would be quite fun to see what we did or didn't have in common. I suppose I was a little inspired by the scene from American Splendor (which is a great film anyway, you should watch it!).
So I restricted my search further: show me the gays!
Zero.
According to Facebook, I'm the only gay Chris Russell in Manchester. I always *knew* I was special!
So how else are these Chris Russells different from me? And how are they similar?
Well lets start with the basics: of the 18, 6 are girls. 9 of the profiles are private.
3 Chris Russells declined to specify their exact age. The rest are older than me - their ages range from 29 to 49.
Religion came as a surprise - 7 Chris Russells avoid the question by not answering or saying something very vague. 1 Chris Russell is Christian, which I can't help but think of as letting the side down. I am the only obvious atheist in the group.
When it comes to politics the Chris Russells are similarly coy - 6 don't specify a bias, 1 describes his political inclination as "moderate", 2 are "liberal".
Now obviously this has been a thoroughly scientific study so far, but I decided to depart slightly from my rigorous methods for the final "similarity metric" - of the profiles I could access, if Chris Russell listed an interest that I actively agreed with, I incremented their "score". Likewise, if something struck me as dreadful I decremented the score.
The otherwise perfectly valid statistics are somewhat wrecked by the fact 5 of the Chris Russells have completely empty interest sections. Anyway..
Name: Chris Russell
+ points: classic rock, blue planet, family guy, spaced, red dwarf, monty python, back to the future, indiana jones trilogy, lord of the rings, bill bryson
- points: the f word, tom clancy
Similarity score: 8
Name: Chris Russell
+ points: nintendo ds, scissor sisters, pavarotti
- points: house, corrie, scent of a woman, pretty woman, barbara taylor-bradford, catherine cookson
Similarity score: -3
Name: Chris Russell
+ points: steve vai, simpsons, my name is earl, the matrix, forrest gump, labyrinth
- points: lost, da vinci code
Similarity score: 4
So clearly this demonstrates I'd get on with Chris Russell, but that I should avoid Chris Russell at all costs.
I wonder if I can get a grant to pursue this..

praise be to allah!
From the BBC again:
' "When the writings were discovered there were some Islamic scholars who come and eat here and they all commented that it was a sign to show that Islam is the only true religion for mankind," he said. '
Well that settles it!
Nice to see God's moved on his message-carrying technology from illiterate prophets to slices of beef.
I really, really, hope someone finds "Allah" on a gammon steak now.

Thank you very much for your further email. The brand manager for Creme Egg has kindly provided the following response:
Dear Chris,
Many thanks for your email, you raise a very interesting question! We've looked into it, and unfortunately we haven't been able to uncover an answer as to why its spelt French and pronounced English. At this stage in the game, with Cadbury Creme Egg celebrating it's 83rd birthday this year, it's too late to change it, and I'm not sure we'll ever have a full resolution!
If I was to give my personal thoughts:
---
I've done some further digging on the subject of "creme" vs. "cream", and stumbled upon this handy resource:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/creme
...which appears to suggest that "creme" may be pronounced:
[krem, kreem; Fr. krem]
The middle of which would be the one chosen for Cadbury Creme Egg, if I am correct in thinking? Unless I am completely missing out the vital matter of the accent above the first "e", which "Cadbury Creme Egg" does not contain but may have an absolutely invaluable role to play in this conundrum. If so, then this leaves me completely stumped!
---
On the matter of the Amazin Raisin bar - unfortunately at this stage I know of no plans to resurrect the bar. In the mean time, I'd invite you to try some of our brand new Dairy Milk Melts, which (although they don't contain any fruit per se) are scrumptuous. Available from all good shops now.
I hope this gives you our perspective on the matter for you, and that you have a truly Merry Christmas.
Many thanks,
Ross
P.S. - Please pass on my regards to Pickles and your genuine living French colleague.

Dear Charlie
Thank you for your kind response.
With regard to the "creme" debate, I am afeared that we are "pulling from opposite ends of the dog" as it were. To quote your fine reply directly:
" .. Cadbury chose the French pronunciation of Creme .. "
But you do not! And this is precisely my point. If you were to choose the French pronunciation all of this MADNESS would end.
I am lucky enough to have a genuine living French person as a colleague, and they have given me their personal guarantee that there is no way the word "creme" can be pronounced like "cream" without changing the spelling.
Please understand that I agree wholeheartedly with the notion that the Creme egg is "Creme" and not "Cream" as it contains no cream. And yes, I also acknowledge that "Cadbury's Fondant Egg" hardly rolls off the tongue. But this apparent disregard for the rules of pronunciation disturbs me immensely.
On the matter of a "fruit and fruit" bar, I am greatly heartened to discover Cadbury's have "been there" on no less than three occasions. Is there any news on a fourth venture? You could even reuse the name "Amazin Raisin", about which my friend Pickles is still laughing in the porcine manner he has come to make his own.
In conclusion Charlie, I entreat you - why is a creme egg spelt French and pronounced English? And when might I expect advertisements for the *all-new* Amazin Raisin bar to grace my telescreen?
You have been so helpful thus far, I am confident together we can bring this matter to a swift conclusion.
Yours,
Chris
PS Please note I haven't commented on the lack of an apostrophe in the name "Amazin Raisin". That would be a level of pedantry inappropriate to level at a manufacturer of confection.

Subject: Re: How do you MISPRONOUNCE yours?
Thank you for your e-mail, Cadbury chose the french pronunciation of Creme as the centre of a Creme Egg is a rich fondant rather than a Cream centre. with reference to a fruit only bar. Cadbury's have made a fruit only bar three times in its history. The first time was a bar called Amazin Raisin from 1971 to 1978 and then Sultana bar from 1982 to 1988 and then California Dream which was discontinued in 2001

Glad tidings of the season!
Ordinarily this would be the time of year for casting aside one's problems but alas! I find I cannot. A query is gnawing belligerently at my braincase, and only the good people of Cadbury's can help.
Why is the (otherwise delectable) Creme Egg mispronounced so? Surely it should be pronounced "cremm egg" or be spelt "cream egg"?
The modern era is one of jolly European relations - surely you should move with the times and update the pronounciation? We even pronounce "Nestle" correctly. Indeed, in my village anyone caught pronouncing it "nessel" is immediately put in stocks and pelted with milky bars. Other pronounciation crimes include the words "cremm brully" and "cremm fraitch". Laughable I'm sure you'll agree!
I also have another, smaller, query - a "microquery" if you will. If there is a fruit and nut bar, and a whole nut bar, why is there not a whole fruit (or "fruit and fruit") bar? You could replace those hideous caramel ones with it, no-one likes them.
Thank you for your time, I await your reply with not inconsiderable apprehension and intaking of breath.
Yours,
Chris Russell

Blair 'to devote life to faith'
From the BBC (click the title), quoting an interview with Time magazine:
"What faith can do is not tell you what is right but give you the strength to do it."
So can voices in your head, if they're sufficiently loud.
But then I never did recognise a difference.

one of my 5-a-day
I bought a shiny Macbook Pro last weekend, and it's great!
I've been having fun making stupid videos with iMovie and the builtin camera. I've posted a few on youtube, but rather bizarrely blogger will only podcast movies uploaded to it specifically (despite blogger and youtube both being owned by google.. *shrug*)..
So this was my first video - Pete demanded I make a video "about spoons". Admittedly this is a fork, but that's not the point.
Then onto more advanced techniques - a soundtrack no less!

new oceans to explore
It was my last week at Rockpool last week. Instead of a card they gave me these "leaving fish", signed by everyone. Needless to say I was most impressed :)It's a cliche, but resigning was the hardest decision I've ever made - I was comfortable at Rockpool, which I think is testament to the generally positive atmosphere in the place. When I originally applied for the job I was fairly desperate - I didn't drive (still don't!) and I couldn't afford to move, so finding a games company in the centre of Manchester was fantastic. I had to fake an interest in mobile games (when I went to the interview my phone couldn't even "do" games) but I thought it would be fine to tide me over for 6 months or so, then I'd move on. Turns out I was quite happy working sensible hours (I haven't "crunched" in two years) - it gave me a lot of time to work on personal projects, and more importantly to decide what the hell I want to do with my career. 3 years later and I'm finally moving on.
I made a lot of friends at Rockpool, and I'll always remember my time there fondly. Thank you Rockpoolians!

got a light mac
Well now this is interesting: I found myself compelled to buy a Macbook this morning.
I haven't, yet.
Reasons to buy a Macbook:
More deliberating to be done!
I haven't, yet.
Reasons to buy a Macbook:
- I want a laptop
- OS X is very nice, and it being based on Unix is A Good Thing (tm)
- Having looked into it, Macbooks don't seem much more expensive than equivalently-specced PC laptops
- Being a Linux/Windows dual-booter I enjoy the challenge of writing code that's as system-independent as possible.. adding OS X to the list of OS's supported by my current project would be neat :)
- The cheapest one I think I could get away with is £820
- I might end up like the Mac guy in the PC/Mac ads (at least the PC guy has a JOB)
- It may well open up the path to iPod, iPhone, iThinkJobsIsJesus etc.
More deliberating to be done!
