I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

Firstly, I lost time in my blog whilst I was at uni. It took up more time than I ever would have imagined and I lost who I was towards the end – thankfully it’s now over.

The first thing I’m talking about is something which I’m ashamed of. I made the huge post last time about losing weight and what has happened since? I’ve put it on! :( A whole number of factors were the cause – mainly being in Liverpool for university with no time to attend to a gym and a lack of motivation to cook resulting in junk food binges and the piling on of weight. Right now I am at my heaviest but there is one thing I can say with some certainty – it will be my heaviest ever and I will only be going down. You see all the photos of people who have lost a load of weight and they have a before shot and an after shot, well I am going to take a picture today and needless to say, it is my before shot! In a few months I will post the contrast and I want thoughts and feedback even though chances are no-one reads this. Anyway, my basic point is now it’s time and I’ve already taken my first steps on the long path.

Now the grim stuff has gone, I can update properly! Uni is over and whilst at the moment I don’t know what grade I recieved, I am glad it’s over and I have the satisfaction of finishing a course which began with over 60 people and only contained just over 10 in the final 3rd year. Just to pass I would view as a success.

Although uni is over and I’ve began work again for the company I was previously a placement student for, I don’t want to lose the coding knowledge I have stored in my brain so again, I will be posting updates of how my games are going – my first one being “Polygon Wars”. A basic Geometry Wars rip off but good practice non the less so I don’t gain any coding rust. At the same time I would like to gain some web design knowledge so will be following a number of online tutorials – again I will keep my blog posted.

I’m not really sure what else to say and I feel bad that I haven’t posted a photo or anything which make this post seem boring to view but next time I will – I’m due to watch Peter Kay on Thursday with Darryl and Jon so will blog from my iPhone and supply a few photos.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and please leave me a comment – I’m sick of all the spam comments and would like a nice one for once :)

Why hello there!

This is my introductory post on my new website, mbeard.co.uk. For now it is only a short and sweet one to get the ball rolling, hopefully soon it will develop into something much much more.

I’ll be using this blog for a variety of different things – random thoughts in my brain, tracking my Xbox Live account and gamerscore aswell as reviewing any games I play which I feel a need to be reviewed, tracking my fitness progress in the gym and anything else that I can generally be bothered writing about.

For now, that’s it. You can expect a much larger post at a later point today or tomorrow and at the same time I’ll be developing my site and making it better (and making it work, damn this Twitter Tools!).

In the meantime, speak soon.
