News sites which I frequently check.

• BBC News
• El Reg
• The Inquirer

I solely use the Linux Operating System on my PCs. Below is a selection of links which I check for Linux-related news.

• Footnotes - GNOME related news
• The Linux Game Tome
• Linux Today
• GNOME Look - The GNOME desktop environment becomes much more usable with a few themes and some customisation. This is one of the best site to find GNOME themes

Consoles make up the major part of my gaming activity, and I already own about 7 recent consoles, and far too many games. This means I check a number of sites for news about games.

• RLLMUK forum - a good place to read lots of chat and opinion about games in general
• Kikizo Games - this place is great for finding high quality videos of upcoming or newly released games
• Gamespot - a terribly American and commercial site, but a necessary evil for getting information about new games sometimes
• Amiga World - I still have a soft spot for the Amiga, and maybe one day I'll be able to afford an AmigaOne

Links to the homepages of a few people I know

• Simon Growcott
• Adam Kimber - an architect, and now an avid gamer too :)
