If you're a more regular reader, one of the 3 out there, it's been a while since I've updated. Sorry. I'd like to say it's because I've been in the middle of a hotbed of activity. It feels like I have, but as soon as I try to explain all the wonderous things I've been up to there never seems to be enough to realisticly have been as busy as I have! Did that make sense? No? Good. This is my blog after all.
But look - I have the internet. It's not stolen this time people! British Telecom are actually behaving. The home hum in all it's plastic white shinyness is operational!
Sexy!
But at least now we're not preaying for clear weather when we want to use the internet so we can hop onto the people at number 15's connection. Why do people invest in wireless networking, have the knowhow to put it together but not spend the twenty seconds it takes to include a passphrase?
In else news I have successfully completed my first essay of the year and had it handed it in 25 hours early! Yeah, I'm a total geek. But it makes me feel better knowing that I have that window in case anything drastic happens like my computer developing issues like spontaneous combustion. And, hey, with Microsoft who knows! I always get the giggles when I run something from 'Microsoft Works'. But my computer lives on and the essay on the use of Sign Language in Chimpazees was handed in. Funfun.
Now that we have the internet I have taken the time to get caught up with the goings on in Perplex City. For those of you not familiar with Perplex city watch the following short video:
Or head over too the website. I hate not being able to long in for periods of time as I miss all the excitement. I'm finally all caught up today and I'm going to let you in on the fact that I am shocked to the core. I know they're not real people but I have spent over a year now regularly reading about these people's lives, helping them with puzzles and problems. All I can is my heart really goes out to Scarlett and Violet, it must have been terrifying everything that happened in the lighthouse basements (Quirky Acuity and The Scarlett Kite archives from Oct 2006 for details.) Violet chased by an unknown entity talking some pretty weird and crazy stuff, breaking her and needing a total blood transfusion for radiation poisoning. Scarlett trapped in the dark trying to construct an electromagnet to open an exit and having to shoot her sister's attacker, whom , it turns out, was an innocent guy. Now they've been to Viendenbourg and returned with evidence that their fature, master of the Perplex City Academy, is quite probably responsible for it all. After what happened with Anna a few months ago I'm a little worried about where this all is going. I am slightly concerned that third power agents may start making their prescence more 'known' at Earth events.
That was all probably very strange and worrying for you. Yes this is all about fictitous people and events. but yes it really did leave a mark on me. Why do people, or at least me, got so effected by fictitous things like this. I think it must have something to do with length of time and exposure and regularity as I'm the same with TV shows. Well certain TV shows.
But yes, I hope I've piqued your interest in Perplex City. The puzzles are all fun, you meet people even though it's mostly net-based. There's also thepossibility of winning £100,000 for finding the Receda Cube. I've agreed to advertise Perplex City around Bangor. So I should be making card drops and stuff round the place so keep your eyes open if you want to take part.
