Starting a Text-based Adventure game
For about a year and a half I've always wanted to make a text-based adventure game. Now I have finally come round to starting one. I don't know if I'll be able to carry the story, but building the systems to make the classic text-based adventure game is fun. I'm using Windows Presentation Foundation in C#.

New Computer Build
About mid October last year I was informed I would be getting some grant money from the Uni. What better time to custom build my first personal computer (built 34 computers for small company before).

Email is now online
My email address is now up and running. It forwards it to an email account not with my domain registrar (Go Daddy). I was having trouble with it as the DNS records are not controlled by Go Daddy, they're with WordPress who handle the blog. I found the MX records had to be changed on WordPress in order for the email received at @robcrocombe.com to be directed to my new forwarding address. MORE
