February 29th, 2004 · 1 Comment

NIMBY

Iíve read up on the Dubyaís vocal opposition to gay marriage and found him to be ever more absurd. Heís the neo con robot, programmed to repeat prewritten scripts at certain events, failing disastrously if he has to ad lib.
Now Iím not from the US but my degree was Politics, with a focus on North [...]

Interesting bit of java this, you give it your site and it makes a visual representation of the links to and from it.
creationrobot.com’s in google too! Some odd linking going on but it fantastic stuff.
How does it work? Magic.

Bill Hicks

BBC NEWS | Magazine | Bill Hicks: Why the fuss, exactly?
Bill Hicks. A comedic evangelist who stood up for what he believed in and yelled at those he saw as getting it wrong. It just so happens I thought in a similar way to a lot of the stuff he was coming out with; smoking [...]

Back in the days of yore, when the PS1 ruled the earth, Sony released a Joystick by Asciiware. It sta;ked through the joystick jungle like a beomoth, dominating with an iron button press, devouring other joysticks at will.
It’s because of the greatness of this Joystick (capitalised) that I have purchased a PS2 to USB converter [...]

I’m a happy camper as my desk strains longingly at two new DVD disks placed upon it.
I’ve burned the BBCs 1981 series of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy to a two DVD set. As sweet as custard my son.
As I’ve just been paid I’ve recently gone on an insane spending spree that [...]

Chug …

February 22nd, 2004 · No Comments

Apologies. I’ve been slaving away on learning and writing backoffice stuff for the blog. This has not consisted of the following:
- Finding Elvis
- Translating the cat’s language
- Showing up Dubya
