Mac’s

I look at Mac’s all the time, and consider buying one. I mainly look at the laptops, specifically the Macbook Pro. Reason I look at the laptops and not the desktops, is because I feel a PC is always going to be better than a Mac Pro or iMac, all because if I feel like it I could upgrade a PC for a few hundred quid, reinstall it and it will be a lot better. With a Mac I wouldn’t be able to do this, well possibly with the Mac Pro. But the iMac this wouldn’t happen and I believe when paying £1.5k to £2k+ for a desktop this is stupid, a laptop is different.

Every time I look at the Macbook Pro’s I get put off from buying one, and that’s due to the cost! These laptops are so expensive that I couldn’t justify the cost right there and then, I mean I got a perfectly good laptop at the moment that my dad gave me, its about only about 1.5 years old, and runs Windows 7 Enterprise amazingly.

If I had a laptop that was 3 or 4 years old then maybe I would get a Macbook Pro, or if I had a large amount of cash just lying under my bed. But until that it’s going to be a while and this annoys me, why do Mac’s have to be so expensive, I mean it doesn’t cost £1.5k to make a laptop so why sell it at that price, surely if they were cheaper they would sell more and if they sold more they would clearly make up the difference?

3D-Logic Flash Game

Found this 3D-Logic flash game, and its really good. There’s 30 levels, I think I completed it in an hour or two. Only had to look up about 3 levels for clues. Worth checking out…

2010!

So the clock has just gone 00:01 and this post should of appeared automatically on my blog… (That’s if the Set publish date thing worked…)

2010 is going to be a busy year for me in terms of work and more than likely is going to result in a lot of days and nights spent at my desk or in the Learning Zone or Library at Lancaster University.

For this reason as mentioned in previous posts am hoping to have a couple more games to help. I am hoping I can find a good balance between doing my work and getting some gaming in.

Of course though as always plans like that at University never work out. With peer pressure and boredom I can imagine I will end up sliding back into my usual routine of going out.

Blogging!

So started a blog… again…, god knows how many have been now. Hopefully am going to keep this one a little more updated now, I am using Windows Live Writer on this blog, with my main laptop which I am taking everywhere with me at moment. So hopefully that should mean I get a lot more posts done.

Some of the posts I hope to upload will include, tutorials/information on coding, including web development and application development. I am hoping to post some information on tricky problems, in C, Java and PHP. I am also going to post about games, specifically PS3 games.

I am hoping in the New Year to acquire COD:MW2, Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2 and of course Uncharted 2. I would of prefer to get Modern Warfare 2 on PC but due to my computer being a bit out dated it is looking more and more likely that I will be getting it for PS3. Unless I am able to upgrade my machine in the New Year.

For now this site is going to look like a dull Wordpress blog site until I can decide what I want to do.

One option that I have seen and I may look into making a adapted version of is Tim Van Damme’s site. What I am thinking is something similar but with my own twist on it. Will more than likely try it out before doing it.
