  • How To Make Piracy Legal; Nobody Loses; Everybody Gains

    The Register brings a report about Harvard University Professor Terry Fisher's plan to make piracy pay for itself. Not by making it yet more illegal, but by stopping it from being immoral. Go read the article. It's great.

  • 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.

  • 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 โ€ฆ

  • 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 โ€ฆ

  • 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 โ€ฆ

  • 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.
