About Me:
It was a class reading of The Hobbit during primary school which first caught my interest in Middle-Earth: although typically regarded as a children's book it remains one of my favourite books and have collected numberous editions of it. With that starting point I went on to read The Lord of the Rings and other classic Tolkein titles. The Lord of the Rings Online has been a magnificent experience so far. I got my first taste of the game in the closed beta period and was instanty hooked on the fabulous story telling, variety of quests, gorgeous landscapes, and player character creation. Very pleased to say I've been a LOTRO addict ever since.

2009 - Happy New Year

Posted On: January 1st, 2009

Australia, like our New Zealand cousins, has now switched over to the new year and we’re now waiting for the rest of the world to join us in 2009.

Tim Wimborne )

I thought long and hard about a realistic new year’s resolution - which I won’t name here lest it be bad luck (as some suggest) to do so - so here’s hoping I can reform that habit.

A couple more pictures …

Just a few more pictures from New Zealand.

Pippin's Foot

The first of one of many prosthetic Hobbit feet worn by Billy Boyd during the filing of the Lord of the Rings films. This particular one found it’s way in to the national museum in Wellington which we found purely by accident - nice close up to show you just how hairy they were ;)

Me bungy jumping 43 metres off the Kiawaru Bridge

Now what the heck does me jumping 43 metres off the Kiawaru Bridge have anything to do with Lord of the Rings? Two things specifically: 1) the Kiawaru River is the same river they used at the end of the Fellowship of the Ring (where the fellowship approach Amon Heth) and 2) found out afterwards that most of the cast shooting there did the same jump. Aside the shocked and angry telephone call I got from my mother … an awesome, life-changing experience!

New Zealand

Posted On: December 30th, 2008
Posted By: greatsmials
Posted in: ooc

As I sort through my recovered files I found a heap of digital photographs I took when a mate and I travelled to New Zealand earlier in the year. Since today happens to be the last day of 2008 - and this was certainly of this year’s highlights - I thought I’d share a few of those pics with the community. If you don’t recognise the subject matter of the picture you need only place your mouse of it for the tooltip …

Hobbiton
The Misty Mountains - spending a few days around Queenstown and it's hinterland, it became obvious why Peter Jackson was inspired to use this mountain range.
Overlooking Minas Tirith - this particular shot was used as Gandalf approached the White City.
Gladden Fields - it might be more obvious if you could imagine a blue filter, no leaves on the branches and a few orcs hiding in the bushed.

New Computer …

Posted On: December 28th, 2008

Posted in: ooc

Was able to pick up a new computer during the remnants of the post Boxing Day shopping madness: 512MB Nvidia GeForce 9000 series graphical card, 4GB RAM, and neat little Intel co-processer. Managed to get Lord of the Rings Online re-installed (I know my priorities!) I took a quick look inside and the improvements were noticeable immediately. Best still all my files on the now-deceased PC were recoverable so this is now one happy chappy.

Computer death …

Posted On: December 27th, 2008
Posted By: greatsmials
Posted in: ooc

There comes a time when the electricity drops out when you realise just how reliant we are on technologies: for me it’s a wakeup call that leaves me grateful that my iPod nano doesn’t need to be plugged in to work. Then comes the personal computer. When that stops working you realise you can’t just check something out on the internet, your email is going unanswered, your games unplayed, etc. That’s precisely what happened last night: my personal computer decided to throw a wobbly and die. If it was going to happen, now was the right time: being on holidays I have the time to replace, reinstall and recover. In any case it’s a good excuse to go buy something fun and beefy to use. Catch everyone in Middle-Earth as soon as I can.

Merry Christmas!

Posted On: December 25th, 2008
Posted By: greatsmials
Posted in: ooc

Regular life caught up with me this last week. It’s been a mad dash to complete kitchen remodelling in time for Christmas - amid wrapping up for the year in the office as well - so I haven’t been in LOTRO much these last few days. We finished late last night and managed to have a quiet, but enjoyable Christmas Eve; it doesn’t end there as we’re now making preparation to receive family from the Old Country. Not just Christmas itself, but indeed the entire year, seems to have moved too quickly: at least that is how it feels. Having said that I would like to extend to all my friends in LOTRO (regular and cyber) from me and my family to you all, have a Merry Christmas!
