Last song – I promise! FFXI Keepers of the Wild
This is so EPIC I can’t keep still. I’m even typing in time to the music. Dreadful for working on spreadsheets but who cares! Okay, that’s it. I’ll be good now. :D -hugs- MeeksFiled under: Uncategorized Tagged: EPIC, ffxi, Keepers-of-the-wild, Seekers-of-Adoulin, soundtrack, youtube
Pretty gaming music to work by – Arciela from FFXI
I’ve just discovered the theme music from Final Fantasy XI’s latest expansion – Seekers of Adoulin. And I love it! Especially this short but lovely theme called Arciela. It starts fairly bland but at about 1.07 minutes into the video clip, the music suddenly swells into this truly glorious theme. My heart catches each time […]
How to eat well on $9.04 per day
After a month of recording every single cent I spent on food, and keeping a sort of diary of what I cooked with that food, I now know it’s cost me an average of $9.04 to put breakfast, lunch and dinner on the table [for each of us]. If you’re interested, the screenshot below shows […]

You know someone’s ‘got’ your book when…
…that someone is fellow science fiction writer Chris James, and he compares you to Stanislaw Lem. :) That’s a huge honour in my book, and modesty demands that I demure…but you know I’m dancing, right? Okay, less of the happy-happy and more of the information. The book is Vokhtah, and the link to the review […]

Funnies with Frogs
No, I haven’t suddenly taken up strange habits with frogs! The title refers to the latest Friday post by Carol Wyer. Carol is both a talented author, and a very funny lady. Every Friday, she publishes a post full of jokes. This Friday’s frog-centric funnies had me laughing out loud. This is one of them […]

Kindle Loudmouth – whatever will Jeff Bezos think of next?
I love my Kindle, but I have to say right now that I don’t think I’ll be getting the latest version. Called ‘Flare’, this new Kindle’s claim to fame is that it broadcasts the title of the book you’re reading… out loud! Apparently this is meant to show the world how smart you are? Or something. […]

Why I don’t like the new WordPress interface
I don’t like change. There, I’ve said it. Once I’ve got a tool working efficiently, I don’t appreciate being forced to learn how to use a different one, just because someone, somewhere, thought it might be a good idea. You see, the thing I care about is not the tool itself, it’s what I can […]

Kindle Unlimited – can you side-load borrowed content?
This post is a cry for help to my US friends. If any of you have signed up to use the new Kindle Unlimited borrowing feature, could you please experiment to see if you can borrow a book using the side-loading method?!? What is Kindle Unlimited? For those who may not have heard of Kindle […]

Nanomini in June
Here in Australia, the end of June marks the end of the financial year, and the beginning of two weeks of school holidays. A year ago I would not have cared, except perhaps to comment on how nice it was not to fight the traffic during school drop off and pickup times. This year, however, […]
