Some time back I got the game Animal Crossing for my Nintendo DS. I played it for a while and then I left it for a week. The game is aware of the passage of time. This means that when I go back I'm bound to an earfull from Tom Nook for not being around. A similar thing happened with my copy of the Brain Training game. I'm afraid to go back to them because know I'll get told off.

And then we come to the Spoke. I've not been around here much lately. Sorry about that. I've been hyper active on www.robmiles.com for some reason though. But this doesn't make me feel any better about not being here. Fortunately people like Alfred are still out there keeping things moving, it was his post that put me on to the new Microsof tRobots:

Wonderful stuff. What, with this and the .NET Micro Framework, UMPC, Vista, Office 12 etc etc etc there is just so much going on that I wish there were three of me just to get around to playing with it it all. Which is really nice if you think about it.
