Windows For The Welsh
Just as Bryn is making progress with his translations of parts of Linux, Microsoft announce plans to release a Welsh edition on Windows XP [The Reg]. It’s a funny old world, isn’t it.
New Troma Night Website Up-And-Running
The new Troma Night website is now up and running. All existing Stars are requested to go and register for the new site to retain their Star status. And give suggestions for Saturday’s films while you’re there, using the new “What Shall We Watch?” feature.
And see you all Saturday!
Almost Finished The New Troma Night Website
Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new Troma Night website (between bouts of revision). Should be ready within the next 12 hours. Fab.
If you’re a Troma Night person, go visit www.tromanight.co.uk tonight (Wednesday night).

Hacking Around With LiveJournal
If this all works to-plan, my recent changes to Scatmania will mean that every time I make a new entry, a link is posted to a journal on LiveJournal. This will allow my friends to monitor my blog from their ‘friends lists’, in AbNibs absence.
Back In Aber
As expected, I had very little internet access over the Christmas period. And now I’m back in Aber. Mozilla reports 688 new e-mails. Joy.
Will say more when I can be arsed. I came back here from Lancashire via Merseyside and Norfolk. That’s a fair journey by anyone’s standards.

Out Of Place
Something feels out of place. Probably just the time of year, the amount of work I have to do, etc. The only good thing about working as long hours at work as I have been is the anticipation of how healthy my next paycheque ought to be. Which it’ll need to be, because I’ll be penniless by then.
Gonna play some Super Mario World on the SNES emulator I downloaded and try not to get too stressed and start snapping at people again. Must de-stress!
Hugz, ye’all;
Worst 100 Films Of All Time
IMDB provide a list of the worst 100 films of all time, as rated by their visitors. I particularly enjoyed the fact that four of the Police Academy movies made it into the list. In other words, Police Acadamy films are responsible for 4% of the Worst 100 Films Ever. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody.
A Most Unlikely Couple
It turns out that two people I know have become a couple, in what is perhaps the most unlikely relationship I could ever imagine. I’ll not say who they are, here, but it’s quite funny.
Claire: X and Y are toghether now.
Dan: X? And Y?
Claire: Yeh. That’s what I thought.
Bryn: Hang on… X [surname]…
Claire: Yup.
Bryn: And Y [surname]…
Claire: Yup.
Dan: Well; it sounds to me like a match made in… Disneyland.
Warning: Extreme Geek Humour
Sat in Burger King…
Bryn: So many nice things come in .deb packages…
Dan: Yeh. Except for some nice things which still come in nasty RPM-shaped packages.
Bryn: I’m not even sure I have an RPM package manager installed.
Dan: I’m sure you can ‘apt-get’ one.
Oh; how we laughed.
Can I Press Your Button?
In the news this week, a device that allows women to have an orgasm at the touch of a button, perhaps even by remote control… but the inventor is having difficulty finding volunteers for a trial.
I’m not sure which part of that sentence is wierdest.
Windows Longhorn
Have… acquired a pre-pre-pre-release copy of Windows Longhorn, the new version of Windows that’ll be coming out in 2004…2005…2006. Will post reports of my experience with it. But first I’ll need to buy a spare hard drive…
Thing Of The Day You Don’t Expect To Find In Dictionary.com
Go look up Bondage-and-Discipline Language in dictionary.com. I was surprised to find it in there, too.
Your Duty To Call In Sick
Apparently it’s our duty to the British economy to call in sick whenever we feel like some time off. This web site, Anxiety Culture, is the inevitable result of a confused fusion of the directive, business-driven mind of a free market capitalist, and a plethora of "very 90’s" confused and complicated morals. It’s rather odd. Very pretty site, though. Take a look.
