Most Annoying Habit In The World Ever
Statto's not the only one to get pissed off at some of the ways people abuse and misuse their language. I'm not perfect myself (contrary to my bedpartners' claims), but there's one form of linguistic butchery that really gets my goat.
The thing that really gets to me is the persistent and habitual misuse by some … -
“Wii!” Shout Sony
Heh. Had to happen. Sony have developed a new controller for the PS3 which sounds remarkably similar to that of the Nintendo Wii - a tilt-sensing remote control.
This picture, sent to me by Jon, says it all. -
Sundeep’s Birthday and Snowdon
Sundeep had decided that we were to celebrate her birthday by climbing Snowdon, so that's what we did. My legs are sore now, not least because I thought it would be wise to jog most of the way back down again.
Here's the piccies. As before, if you read this on my blog rather than on … -
Off To Snowdon
Some friends and I are off to Snowdon, somewhere in the galaxy of the universe. They are made out of meat, but I won't hold that against them. We'll be taking two nuclear physicists, just in case.

Troma Night is on as normal tonight, so, if you're not going to The May Ball (who's web site, I maintain, should allow web-based ticket purchases as I suggested last year), come along! It'll probably only be a "two-film" night, as a number of us are celebrating Sundeep's birthday tomorrow with a walk up Snowdon, …

The Energy Crisis
Statto's written a piece on solar energy and the energy crisis in general. I almost commented on it, but then I decided I had enough to say to justify my own blog entry. As I see it, here's the plan to cope with Earth's immediate energy needs:
Use existing nuclear facilities - possibly new … -

Hackers And Communists Attack USA Using Linux
Shelley the Republican writes about what she's learned about Linux. Not excessively geeky. Well worth reading, just for the WTF-value!

Strangest Bug Report. Ever.
I'm currently working on a volunteer-run programming project and I just received a very unusual bug report from one of the test team. Not to bore you; but the project allows multiple users to log on to a web-based system and manage various details about themselves - their name, date of birth, gender, etc. - …

Geek Night
Geek Night is on as usual tonight, apparently, although I'm unlikely to get involved in more than one game of anything as I've got code to do.
But hey; it's interesting code.
