I received a new iPod shuffle in the post about a week ago now, just in time for The Final Conflict paintball event. It was the red edition, complete with www.richarddavey.com domain name engraving.

It’s a bit pricey considering what it is, especially when you take into account that most places now sell ’stick’ MP3 players for around £10. You can even pick one up at Tescos with your weekly shopping! However, this is an Apple product and like all the others before it, there’s more than meets the eye.

It’s been a full week now since The Final Conflict 2007, and I’ve finally completed my personal vendetta of getting a photo gallery up to host all the pictures taken over the weekend. I selected Pixelpost as the photoblog of choice since it initially looked simple and easy to integrate. After a week of University inductions, Paintball Club meetings, Freelance Project work and generally just hacking around with the gallery PHP and HTML code I got it all working … to an extent.

Feel free to head over and check out the pictures on my gallery subdomain by clicking here. I haven’t yet had chance to write descriptions for all 105 photos yet, since I’ve manually been through each to crop and upload them.

Had a good game of paintball with PUPS and Going Postal this Sunday at Adrenalin Games in Exeter. It was good fun, but no one seemed to be playing at their best. It was the most painful games I’ve played to date, got some nice bruises to prove it too! Out of all the fields I’ve played so far, this had to be one of the best areas I’ve played on. It’s mainly based in an urban setting with loads of real obstacles such a cars, tanks and brick house ruins. I may be slightly biased or just bad at spotting targets in a forest of trees, but I’m not normally one for woodsball scenario paintball.
