Sunday, May 15, 2005 - "From the middle of space, to the middle ages..."

> Quotes

  • I shall live forever, or die trying!
  • Belt of hermaphtodite dwarf tossing

> Serious

  • Can we also ban car drivers from wearing trilby hats? (Wearing a hood is not intimidating. Being intimidating is intimidating. Strike at the root cause, please.) Having said that - give "Boys in the hood" a new meaning. Culture through misunderstanding? And since this title is already too long, I'd just like to comment that hoodies are a GREAT thing to strangle the little gits with. Second only to piercings as something you can use to defend yourself... Stealing yet another forum reply: "Great idea - why can't these ridiculous baseball caps be banned everywhere? If you must wear a hat get a panama." [Details]
  • Oh! You mean they find it hard to sell "Come work for us and kill and die" without lying? [Details]
  • So very odd a place to attack. [Details]
  • You know those smart-badge thingies that open doors and pay for your rail tickets? Stupidly stupidly insecure. [Details]

> Gaming

  • Phantasy star.... Online :( Free month trial though. [Download]
  • Quick cheap games of... oddness. Our musicians already know what 'experimental' is a euphamism for, right? Knocked up in about 15 seconds. [Download]
  • Some MUCH nicer vampire ideas than the mainstream. [Details]

  • Some jokes youmay want to try on unsuspecting MORONS, pitiful MORONS spending MY MONEY. [Details]

> Comics

  • The hamsters have a Photonic recombobulator ray! [Display]
  • Ubersoft has an obvious joke, relevant to the news if you read quite as much of it as I do. [Display]

  • No company should have such a monopoly. [Details]

> Stuff

  • about:config extensions.disabledObsolete = false [Download] [Download]
  • Squonks. This sounds somewhat like a lumberjacks equivalent of "Find me a left-grip torque wrench, would you?" [Details]
  • Useful utils. Process explorer makes killing things easier. Treesize lets you work out what is sucking up your drive. (Oh! That's where my 4gig vidcaps went..) [Download] [Download]
  • Uh.... words fail. Music fails. Brain fails. Death is all that remains. [Destroy]
