Balmy Weather

It's a really hot day outside today. I've been sipping lots of Diet Coke down in my computer study area, in the lower-depths of the house, in an attempt to re-hydrate myself. Sometimes I wished this house had air conditioning.

I found a couple of excellent websites dedicated to nostalgic retro computer games from the 1980s in The Sydney Morning Herald's computer magazine supplement ICON (29 January). I remember many a passionate day playing Pacman, Defender of the Crown, Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem 3D, Bruce Lee, 1942, Raid Over Moscow, Mission Impossible, Ghost 'n' Goblins etc on my trusty Commodore 64. I'm pleased to let the enthusiasts know that you can now play many of these games on your PC by downloading from the following sites:



Liberated Games

Abandoned Games

Emulation Ring

Home of the Underdogs


For the rest of the day I'm going to clean up my personal photo collection and arrange them into folders resembling some logical sequence.
