I just finished a quick game of Winning Eleven 8 on my PC. I'm not sure what level it was set at, but I've never seen the game blatantly cheat so much!

I was playing as England against France and I was 2-0 down at halftime. Every French player was faster and stronger than mine; if I sprinted down the field with the ball, I was either overtaken or knocked over. If a French player sprinted down the field, I couldn't catch him!

The most obvious cheat was a stunning long range shot I made that completely fooled the keeper and went over his head. I was just about to celebrate it crossing the line into the net when a French defender appeared from nowhere and headed it off the line. Huh?!??!

I'm not sure I can continue playing it after this. I know games cheat, but this is the worst I've noticed in this game. And it was the first time it ruined the game for me. Sulk. Pout.

I installed the beta of Safari for Windows out of pure curiousity. It's a weird feeling! I wish Apple would release OSX for Intel PCs; I'd blow XP away in an instant. Or at least relegate it to dual boot for games. So far Safari is decent - I'm not seeing the raw performance that some people claim. My main complaint is that CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't delete the previous word when typing this post. So far all sites I've visited looked good, though very reminiscent of Konqueror, which uses the same KHTML rendering engine. It failed to import my Firefox bookmarks, but I'll try that again. Let's see how it goes!

Reaper / FruityLoops and music. Metal!

I recently bought an M-Audio USB Fast Track device to connect my electric guitar to my computer. I also bought FruityLoops , or rather my brother bought it for me for Christmas and I upgraded it to the Producer edition. Since then I discovered an amazing shareware product called Reaper , which is another Digital Audio Workstation, or so they call themselves. It's extremely cheap, developed by (I think) the guy who wrote or worked on WinAmp and it's feature list is incredible. This is my first attempt at recording with Reaper: First Guitar Attempt Ignore my dreadful attempts at being a guitar virtuoso and forgive the fact I still live in the 80s!
