Yes, it has been a long time between blog updates. Maintaining a blog and keeping it updated with new content is harder than I realised. I have a brain full of thought and ideas, it is just getting it out of my head and into a readable format is the challenge. It also comes down to being a little more organised. Most, if not all the time, when I finish up for the day it is usually too late to write up anything as I’m tired and it is time for sleep....
Hello Internet, it’s been a month since my last update. I’ve been sick with the flu the past week or so. I have also been absorbed into playing again, but this time with the tekkit mods. These mods add a much greater level of complexity, and playing on a PvP server also adds to the fun. Hopefully there will be some more frequent updates soon as I get over this minecraft ‘addiction’ again....

Where have all the blog posts gone? Philbywhizz has had a reboot. I decided it was time to have a clean slate. I hadn’t updated the old blog for quite some time, and I wanted to try something a little different (like start a fresh and blog a little more often). What better way to start anew by having a slate clean?? I will be posting up some old project pages over the coming weeks, so that there is some more content and it isn’t just a simple blog with a handful of empty posts… promise!...
