  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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:



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

  • Painful Work Patterns

    This is actually getting quite painful. I've now been at work for 13 hours straight, and for a total of 40 hours so far this week. Still; next week should be marginally better.

    The knackeredness I can deal with. What's nasty is that I'm not seeing as much of Claire as I'd like.

  • This Land Will Surely Vote For Me!

    This is hilariously good, and it's kicking up a bit of a fuss. So, in case it gets taken down, I'll be hosting a copy of it here, too... Click here to watch "My Land", starring Bush & Kerry. I can't help but sing along...

  • MEP From Yorkshire States β€œ[Never] employ a lady of child-bearing age.”

    The BBC have an article: "UKIP MEP in row over working women". It's worth reading, if only to laugh.

    Expect to see this particular MEP assassinated by a militarist feminist group within the week.

  • Scatmania.org Gets Deleted

    Arg!

    The server on which Scatmania is hosted malfunctioned, resulting in the deletion of the entirety of my weblog. I'll be trying to recover bits of it in the near future, but I'll probably lose (at least) the last few weeks.

    Not happy.

    On the upside, I may use this as an excuse to re-write the engine behind …
