  • Digg has reached rock bottom and have now started to dig, pun not intended. http://bit.ly/B4jmQ (thanks to @atebits for this one) #
  • HUGE day of Uni is complete. Reason for nil tweets during that period was nil iPhone battery. :( #
  • I hereby name this Nvidia driver hell. #
  • Well, no more NeoWin job for me. I turned it down, but only because I am currently far too busy for 4x 300-word articles every week =/ #
