I've been neglecting the online world a little bit recently, mostly due to recent health problems.
Soon, however, I'll be regrouping and mass updating several of my websites (including this one, nogginanimations and shizkit), and I'll be releasing a brand new site called FacePlank
Don't you just hate it when you've sat doing maths all morning and the afternoon with an ipod, then you get home and realise you've spent the day with maths and an ipod :L
Besides a reason to get mugged it's actually a nice gadget. Allowing web access at places like mcdonalds, and a comforting sense of "I'm better than you" in an ego-flattering manner.
Games are here! That's right, now there's no excuse for you to just register and bugger off! :D
The games section is now in Public Beta phase, which means play, rate and comment as much as you can so I can get all the bugs rolled out 0 comments •

Looking out of my window right now I could easily mistake Quedgeley for Soviet Russia!
The houses I can see from my are still covered with an inch of snow which is pretty cool :D, and my grumpy next door neighbours still insist on shifting the stuff from their garden.
Thanks in part to Dan, I've replaced the stale old Cookie header with something a little more fresh. Now each time you load a page, a different biscuit will appear next to the title!
I'm also working on a themes system for people who don't like the current theme :) 0 comments •

If you look closely you'll see I've been updating the site. In my opinion it's a LOT cleaner than before, looks less scattered and more professional.
The changes are minor but noticeable, however I have majorly overhauled the blogs page and stripped the chat of any extra functions to make it quicker. I also redid the User CP a little. 0 comments •

So christmas is over and I'm betting we've all eaten FAR too much and in a few cases drunk too much as well. Now the festive season is over and I want to know what's in store for you next year.
For me it's the usual loose-the-weight-i-put-on-at-christmas and stop arguing with mother. But it never happens. 1 comment •

It is, in fact, December 25th and I'm awake at quarter past 1 because my neighbor's dogs are a bunch of loud rats. Whatever you guys are celebrating today, have a good one and I'll get back to you in the new year!
Site updates will come soon, and the Christmas animation will be uploaded before January 1st 2010. 0 comments •

It's taken a long time and a lot of hard work but I've finally done it. 100% of views on RyanBiscuit, including Ryan. So obviously I'm proud of myself, relieved I can have facebook going at a sensible speed once again, and a bit weirded out about the commitment I put into this.
Because of this, there's going to be a new chart with new statistics that don't include me arriving soon. This means you'll be able to get a more realistic idea of the time you spend on the site that doesn't just say 0.0%. Sorry about that guys....
I want to know what you're hoping for this christmas. Be it a brand new skateboard, a macbook air, or even a Goddamn elephant, I'd like to know. Why? Because I'm a nosy bugger. Seriously though, I'd like to start focussing on user interation, so leave a comment! 4 comments •

I just added a colourful glow to the background. If you have problems loading the site following the colour update, go to your User CP and click "Performance Settings" and switch off the "Background Fog".
There you will find a bunch of options that will allow you to control what your computer renders - thus, customizing performance.
So I finally got around to moving all my animations and stuff to my DeviantArt account. You can find them all there now as NogginAnimations will be closing soon.
Many of you won't know who mrSimon (Simon McClure) is, however to internet frequents like myself, he is a renowned animator, web designer slash programmer, DJ and music maker.
For now we'll skip introductions and jump straight into the good stuff. Every now and then, usually every week on a Friday, Simon broadcasts an internet radio show hosted by himself. 0 comments •

Hello people. Just in case you were getting bored of Ryan, Emily's here now! :D
Ryan has made a nifty little bar chart that counts how many times you have visited the site, so we can all compete with each other and have several scraps about who loves Ryan more (obviously it is me though), which can be found here...
Just to let you know, these blogs are for the technical minded only. Although you could try to understand the following, if you did you'd probably want to excrete through your eyes.
The following Blog is all about Databases, just to prove that I actually do work while in class. 4 comments •

The comments system is now complete. It will probably be buggy for a while, however if I get enough feedback I can iron them all out in time.
The registration system will be complete soon, so you can start leaving comments as soon as that's done, but for now you'll just have to make do with the bland, user-less features of the site ;) 0 comments •

A lot of you will probably be wondering what the hell "vCam" is, some may even be asking what Flash is. For you, I'm afraid, there is nothing here to gain.
However if you know your flash, you'll love this.
Remember that old AS2 Camera? The one we all used to control major scene motions?

It's about time. Journalists and photographers alike have gone too far just to get a couple of snaps or a juicy, money-making story about someone in the Royal Family beating a dog or taking a shit. To be honest I think they should have cracked down harder. Despite them being the Royal family and all, they do have SOME right to privacy. We keep fighting for it, isn't it unfair that they don't get any? 0 comments •

mrSimon has finalized his newest work of art on the second attempt; "CLIFFCORE".
He was showing me some early examples of melodies and beats, and the first version turned out to be a disappointment. He got bad reviews on YouTube and a couple other sources, and asked in a live chat how he could improve on it.
So with Christmas around the corner, I've opened a couple of presents early.
One being FL Studio 9, the other being a fresh set of ideas for the year ahead.
This design isn't 100% unique, however I humbly promise that everything you see on the main page with the exception of the blog preview images was hand crafted by me.
So I got FruityLoops, and I've been making music ever since!
It's all early days yet, which means the shite I am making sounds awful, but thanks to mrSimon's tutorials I'm learning fast.
I'll post some music on here as soon as I make something that doesn't sound like a constipated cat wiping its nose on a dog's ass
