So, apologies in advance!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I first built a website for myself while I was at university. At the time, there was no Facebook, no LinkedIn, no Twitter and we went to Yahoo and Ask Jeeves for searching. OK, now I feel old. However, at that time, a personal website was the way to connect with web.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&#39;m not sure they are strictly needed any more. I can&#39;t recall the last time I went to someone&#39;s personal homepage. I&#39;ve checked blogs and linked with people. However, nowadays if you google someone (a verb that didn&#39;t exist when I took my first faltering steps online) you don&#39;t find their homepage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I like having a homepage. It&#39;s mine to style as I like and it&#39;s nice to have a permanent &quot;home&quot; of my own. I just don&#39;t change the decor all that often!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Until this update, my &#39;site sported a forum dedicated to the (now classic and back on the iPad) Baldur&#39;s Gate series of games, some embarrassing photos of a younger me and an About Me bit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am still not quite sure what to do with my new site. I&#39;ve links to my LinkedIn profile, twitter account and email and the About me section is a bit more updated. No photo section.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think it&#39;ll have a maths section - probably mainly links but also I&#39;d like to update my dissertation and set it up as a PDF.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Whatever else it has, it will remain my home on the Internet. www.paul-meredith.co.uk&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;:)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://finraerslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/12/first-post.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323363305545250748.post-8570617482855716538</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2015-07-02T13:56:17.131-07:00</atom:updated><title>Hobby time...</title><description>I&#39;m a keen collector and painter of fantasy wargames miniatures - you can find me on forums under the username Finraer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It&#39;s a fun hobby - I used to play when younger but with the demands of work and family, I don&#39;t have the time. However, painting is a nice relaxation activity and having an army list to paint to is good motivation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My current project is pictured below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7ESZguzGO0I/VZWlbhP4AoI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ES1vlictxxQ/s640/blogger-image--1345342398.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7ESZguzGO0I/VZWlbhP4AoI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ES1vlictxxQ/s640/blogger-image--1345342398.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It&#39;s a bit of an odd hobby, though. A little high on the geek-scale and not one you&#39;d necessarily share with all your friends and colleagues. Clearly an obvious choice for a blog post then.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the uninitiated:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The miniatures are 28mm scale and, in this case from a company called Games Workshop. They cost about £1-£2 each on average and I would say that each of the more generic troop models has taken me a couple of hours to paint and base. Character models cost more to buy, have a lot more detail and I spend loner painting them (perhaps 10-20 hours per model).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The collection pictured above is the product of about a year and a half of on and off hobby time. The plan is to double it in size.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For those who know what on earth I am talking about:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is an undead army - mainly skeletons. I don&#39;t like the aesthetic of the current GW ghoul or zombie miniatures. There&#39;s currently a vampire caster, which BSB, a banshee and a wight. I&#39;ve also painted up a necrosphinx since taking the photo. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Painting is table-top standard (I hope) with a base coat, shade and highlights to all and sand and flocked basing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&#39;ll try and put up a more detailed post with close-ups in the next month or so.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although, with changes to the game itself coming soon - hobby wobbles may well hit! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My current projects are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A 28mm fantasy egyptian army&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The undead army above&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;An Orc army (using models from Mantic, another games company)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A chaos army (or two!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Plus a few others that are in the &quot;collection stage&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway - blog update complete. New content for my site. Yay. :)&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://finraerslibrary.blogspot.com/2014/11/hobby-time.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7ESZguzGO0I/VZWlbhP4AoI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/ES1vlictxxQ/s72-c/blogger-image--1345342398.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
