Playstation 3’s Home finally arrives!!

After a whole day of hitting F5 on my browser and checking the PS3 forums at around 8:40pm on the 11th December 2008, Playstation Home was finally brought online as an open Beta! I must have been one of the first to start the download process, I was definitely ahead of anyone else on my friends list (and ahead of the thousands, if not millions of people that couldn’t log in due to server stress).

Infonic’s Christmas Party 2008

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

It was time for the Christmas party on Saturday and I was amazed how relatively uneventful it was. I guess I’m just used to other Christmas parties where managers either end up laying in their own vomit, or getting arrested after breaking into the bar after closing time at a hotel…

Anyway it was a pretty good party, good food and a good time.

It’s been a while…

… so I thought I’d write a little post

I haven’t posted anything for such a long time and well I’m a little bored so what the hell..

I got a new job at the beginning of July, working at a company called Infonic. I used to know one of the director’s from my first job at Beiersdorf (at that point Infonic was called Tokairo). I always wanted to work for Tokairo and so I feel it’s kind of fate, especially as I met my gorgeous girlfriend Amy just a few weeks after joining too :-) Quite a scary story really, as I didn’t know she was the daughter of another director here at the company when I started flirting with her! Thankfully after a little hiccup, I think the big boss man is OK with it all – well I haven’t received my P45 yet anyway.. :-P

I’ve been playing on my PS3 a lot (no change there), and am currently enjoying a bit of LittleBigPlanet and a lot of Resistance 2 online :-)

Christmas is nearly upon us and I’ve been thinking what to get people as usual, although this year I’ve actually bought quite a few presents already instead of my normal rush out on Christmas eve and buy it all then.

Got a new phone (I needed a contract phone as my phone bill to Amy alone was costing about £70 a month lol). It’s a very nice Samsung i8510 (Innov8). It’s got a great 8 megapixel camera and there’s not much it can’t do to be honest (even makes phone calls too!).

Apart from that, there’s not much else to say, I’m enjoying life a lot right now, part mainly to Amy and also my job. I’m looking forward to what 2009 brings!
