Skweek?

Filed Under Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Things are still broken, but the blog is back at least…
I would’ve given more notice, but because of the silly terms of service of my ex-host, I wanted to move away as quickly as possible to avoid them removing the site rather than me doing it in my own time. Apparently, hosting [...]

Plan B…

Inevitability STRIKES!
Okay, so the TARs will still be a regular feature, but there’s no possible way in any existing universe that I’ll finish all of the reviews before the voting period closes as I was first aiming for. Does this matter? I suppose it does and it doesn’t. In the incredibly remote likelihood [...]

The weakest link

Filed Under Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Just a quick note to explain that, with the change in theme, links related to games have also changed slightly. Any time you see a  icon, go ahead and click it to take you to a place relevant to the discussed item. I think it’s neater than [link] having a load of [link] intrusive and [...]

The Mad God’s paint factory called…

They said they were out of white emulsion and could I try and prevent myself from using any more?…
Yeah… I think it’s possibly a tiny bit uninspiring around here at the moment. It feels a bit like hospital decor, trying to be cheery in a way that isn’t forced, scary or mind-melting boring. And completely [...]

Back in business

Do not adjust your set! I think everything is working again…
Took longer than expected, but that was down to my overall cackhandedness at this sort of thing. Oh well!

Hold on to your hats

It’s moving time!
The host switch should happen at some point fairly soon, and this’ll be the last post on the old webspace. I’m fairly confident there won’t be any major disruption – I’d like to keep the Millenipede highscore functionality working throughout, but if you’re deadly serious about getting the world’s best highscore, I suggest [...]

Zolyx 2009 analysis

Filed Under Personal, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

A long time ago, in a blog post far, far away I set out my goals for 2009. With the power of bullet points, stats, and graphs, it’s time to criticise myself and see how miserably I have failed in my aspirations for last year…
Goals

Write more interesting stuff for the site. Hmm. [...]

Goodbye, holidays

Filed Under Funny, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Yeah. I thought it was about time I got rid of the holiday theme and eye-wateringly awful link colours. I’m not quite sure why I thought red was a good idea… serves me right for recycling last year’s colours I suppose.
Despite this, I believe I still have some way to go in [...]

Meh

Filed Under Personal, Zolyx | Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, due to a point of principal concerning my current web hosts, I will be looking to switch hosting provider very soon. If you have any suggestions for a fast, UK-based host that supports PHP and mySQL – tell me about them! Here’s your chance to get a referral
My particular grudge is nothing [...]

Hurrah, it’s 2010!

To all you people who are crazy enough to read this blog regularly – and even to those who are just passing through – I wish you all a very Happy New Year!
I hope your holiday season went well. It’s been a pretty good year for indie games and I’m expecting another great list of [...]
