Laser Squad Nemesis
Just a quick note about the purpose of the LSN category.
I hope to post a few noted about the state of LSN at the moment, and any interesting developments. Maybe I'll be able to persuade some other peeps to challenge me to a game.....
I'm also going to be posting a few turn-by-turn match reports. I've porbably got as few in progress right now, but you wont be able to see them until I've finished the game and made the entries live.
Sneaky, eh? (Just like those pesky Greys....)

Comment Posting
A couple of things to say about posting comments here.
At the moment absolutely anyone can post a comment on absolutely any entry. You dont have to leave your name, address, phone number, vital statistics, bank balance or inside leg measurement.
I've set the comment system up so that if you leave an email address it will not be displayed on the site. I'll have access to it, but no nasty spammer robots will be able to grab it so you wont get any more offers to buy drugs from 'Reeleey grate 0nloin pharaciis' because you posted here.
I also support TypeKey logins which seem pretty dandy. If you register with them (for nowt) you can click a Sign In button on the comment posting page and it will realise who you are. That way you can keep a common name, and also prove it was you that posted a particular comment. Personally I would still avoid putting your main email address in your TypeKey profile since some TypeKey enabled blogs will display your email address. This one is set up not to, but others might and once a spammer gets your email address they never let go...
So, I'd suggest using this service to generate a disposable emial address for use at such site. Its another great free service. Ive been using them for around 6 months to create disposable emails addresses that only let a set number of mails through before becoming inactive. They are great for putting into sites that require an address but dont tell you exactly what they are going to do with it. So far they have blocked 785 unwanted emails for me!

Movable Type
Lo there!
Welcome to my blog. I''ve been looking at a few different blogging sites of late as I've decided that I'd like to start one up. god knows why anyone would want to read it, but hey, it passes the time if nothing else.
I had a brief flirtation with LiveJournal but decided that I'd like to be able to customise the interface a little more than seemed possible (at least with a free account) . One thing that LJ had going for it was some of the tools people had created for it, particularly Semagic. It seemed a great tool for remotely publishing blog entries, although I could never get the font preferences to 'stick' properly.
Then I took a look at Movable Type style blogs. MT and LJ are all run by the same company. I like the idea of having Trackback enabled so I can see just how many people are completely ignoring this page. I also like the myriad of plugins available and the fact hat if I can be bothered I can completely change my page layout.
It also seemed that my current webhost included everything I needed to run MT as part of my basic hosting package so I thought "Why not give it a try".
I uploaded all the files as described by the docs, edited a couple of files and knock-me-down-with-a-feather it blimming well worked! Get in there!
So, this is now my new home. I'll be posting odds-and-sods and I'm hoping to get a few run throughs of particularly interesting LSN games, cos that should get the readers in!

Specialist League
Its just come round to the second month of The Specialist League
I managed to win my two month one games, the first against Kraklath 23-1 and the second agaisnt thegoblin scoring 22-7. It was a pretty good Greys Vs Mechs map though, so I got a little lucky there.....
This month I have to play Fatboys Marines and Dominatus' Spawn. I've not played either of these two before, and I cant say I've ever heard of them so I have no idea how well they play.
Heres hoping I can get another 2 wins!
