I haven’t been updating recently, because I have nothing to update with! Rest assured I’ll update when I have something to say.

Recently, I was forced to upgrade my version of Skype to 4.0.x from 3.6.x. Part of this reason was to see if it would improve the voice quality, which it did and also to get more up to date. Granted, I am still exploring the new changes, but I don’t like the new interface, or how it does things with different contacts. It feels too weird, and I hardly recognise Skype now. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good improvements fot the technical aspects, but I can’t say I like the interface much, and from what I’ve read, a lot of people have said the same.

Okay, I’ve decided to start to make a proper entry to dive right into stuff I plan to work on.  Anyway, yesterday I managed to find some rather interesting stuff in my local pharmacy while picking up my pills… firstly a 3-in-1 camera which can be used as a camcorder, camera or webcam, and also a robotic bubble nblower and robotic shark.  I’ve always had an interest in AI & Robotics, so I figured as they were going cheap, I’d pick them up.  I have another robot thingy I picked up in the charity shop, along with a 10-in-1 Electronics thingy.  And yes, I know they’re for kids, but when you think about it, they’re all a great way to get started with electronics as they have all the bits you need, and also instructions as well!  Anyway, my plans are to essentially build all these robots, then show pictures of them when complete, although I may actually use the video camera to record them.  Granted it’s a somewhat cheapish camera, but it’s a good thing to get started with till I can afford a larger camera.  What does worry me though is that the “High Res” (480×368)  and Low Res” (320×240) have little between them, yet the picture taking maximum is 640×480!

Anyway, expect videos from my assembling the stuff when I get an SD Card.

I’d like to welcome you to the new Stormkeeper dot Net website!  Apologies for the sparseness of the blog atm, and the annoyance in accessing it, I’ve only just recovered from an issue with my server.

Anyway, I’ve decided to take a slightly new direction with the site, making this my blogspace, and blogging about things that interest me, such as Gaming, Movies, Music, AI & Robotics, Computing, Photography, Digital Art and much more.  Essentially, I’ll be talking about the things that interest me and allowing you, the reader to offer your thoughts upon things.  I do intend to copy over some old blog entries to this blog, and also merging stuff like my Twitter account to the blog as well, so watch this space for develolments, as I intend to make a lot of them tonight!
