Blogspam A Problem… No More
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've been getting more than my fair share of blogspam of late. I've been spending about twenty minutes every three or so days clearing out the 'moderation' queue and updating my keyword lists.

More Letters After My Name
News of the day: (here I go, flooding you all with lots of small posts), I'm now Daniel Huntley BEng(Hons) MBCS, 'cos I'm now a member of the British Computer Society. Not quite sure whether or not this is a good thing, yet, but hey.
Hmm... they'll be sending me my membership card seperately from my … -
Forehead Protector?
Strangest thing I've seen all week.
Perhaps it'd help if I'd seen this Uzumaki thing... hmm... -
Popularity Of The Welsh Language
<ROFLMAO>
Want a giggle? Go to Google and type "old dead language" into the search box (with or without the quotes... either way), and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky!".
This is the follow-up to my experimental googlebomb the other week. I've had my fun, now, and I actually believe it's possible (I was skeptical when I first read … -
Somebody Writes Of Half-Life 2
Somebody on slashdot writes of Half-Life 2:
Doom 3 tried to generate atmosphere through the lack of light and the monster placement that was obviously designed to scare you. After a while it degenerated into one big black scare job to me, and wasn't very interesting as a result.
On the other hand, I felt that … -

Made me smile. -

Tell Me About Your Heterosexuality
Rediscovered this online - some questions for the heterosexual:
What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
When and how did you first decide that you were a heterosexual?
Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you will grow out of?
Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems … -
Simpsons, Puppets, And Alcohol
Sat up last night with Bryn and Claire with a cheap bottle of wine and the remains of an expensive bottle of whiskey and watched The Simpsons (Season 3, DVD 2) and Puppets Who Kill (Season 1, the episodes we hadn't seen yet).
A nice night in. -
Weekend
I seem to spend most of my time on this blog posting retrospectively about what I did on any given weekend. Will try to spice things up with a little more thought and debateworthy stuff in the future - I've got some ideas. In any case:
Friday was Andy's gig - not as good as the … -

My Very Own Googlebomb
Partially out of curiosity, partially to point out a flaw in the #aber multipass system, I've made my own little googlebomb. For those of you who don't like reading, a googlebomb is where you manipulate the way that popular search engine Google into falsely linking with great priority a page that it probably should not. …

Rory’s In Town
Met up with Rory this lunchtime in MGees: looks like he's working on moving back to AberWorld whenever he can afford it, and running his business from here. I'm not sure how much of a market there is for payware RSS/ATOM newsfeed readers, but I wish him the best of luck in it anyway. Hopefully …
