Ghost In The Shell 2 : Innocence

Paul will, yet again, have kittens: Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence seems to have been released.

Aber Graduates Earn Least In UK

This is just fucking weak: the average salary of an Aberystwyth graduate is just £12,968… the lowest in the UK. And on this crappy ‘probationary period‘, that’s still more than I earn. Fucking shitty.

Feeling unmotivated now. Not getting enough work done.

Homosexual Intercourse Exposure To Be Reduced By Highland Cattle

In this news story on Ananova, it is reported that a Dutch town is hoping to reduce occurrences of gays using their park for sex by filling it with Scottish highland cattle, which will apparently “scare them off”.

It’s a weird world.

Schoolboy, 12, Performs Armed Robbery And Is Placated With Crisps

Article on the BBC. A schoolboy holds up a shop and demands money, using a sawn-off shotgun.

My favourite bit: Mr Guliani said there was no money in the till and, on instruction to load the bag with cigarettes instead, told the boy he was under age. The retailer later offered him sweets and crisps instead.

Teleportation Goes Long-Distance

The BBC have an article about Australian researchers successfully teleporting photons a distance of 600m, advancing upon their first efforts in the field, over two years ago.

Bush’s Foreign Friends

There’s a new googlebomb out, abusing the way that the popular Google search engine works. To see it in action, go to Google and enter “Bush’s foreign friends” (including the speechmarks) as the search term, and hit the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.

Where Do They Make Balloons?

So I come home from work on Monday evening to find my flat full of balloons. WTF???

The ActionScript Jabberwocky

This made me smile: The Jabberwocky in ActionScript (Macromedia Flash’s scripting language). It’s another one of those that you’ll really need to be a proper geek to appreciate, but it’s really quite good.

Perhaps you need to be a Lewis Carrroll fan, as well…

If I Were An STD…

If I were an STD, I would be…

HIV

Which STD would you be?

Windows Security

Just recieved the following error message from Windows, while trying to connect to a shared directory elsewhere on the network… have never seen one like it before, so I thought I’d share it with you:

Windows Error Message: The System Detected A Possible Attempt To Compromise Security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you.

Oh, so now I’m a hacker? Thanks, Windows.
