Over the past few months, difficult to say just how many, I’ve been watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica on my computer. Seems when I finally found out about this marvelous show I had a good three years of catching up to do and let me tell you something. It. Was. Worth. It! Seriously, Battlestar [...]
Ville Depp and Johnny Valo
Last night while I was watching this lovely music video that someone has decided to call Summer Wine by Ville Valo and Natalia Avelon a striking change in Ville’s appeareance hit the retina of my optical receptors. Suddenly, as if from the moustache and the beard, he stopped looking like a dashing woman that I [...]
I swallowed a dead raccoon
Image by alasam via Flickr Some recent morning, let’s call him Monday, I woke up with an odd feeling in my throat. Upon swallowing … anything … the feeling was somewhat weird, as if there was something obstructing the passageway and making the activity more difficult than it was ever meant to be. Upon further [...]
Adobe AIR’s javascript no eval or include is moronic
Image via Wikipedia Some days ago when I was developing a plugin interface for Twitulater I came upon an interesting and seemingly unsolvable problem in the way Adobe AIR brainlessly tries to make everything more secure – eval function simply doesn’t work.

Man better transport than Car
Today was christmas except even better because all the gifts were either results of some serious impulse buying or something I’ve been meaning to waste money on for a while and finally cracked under the pressure of my own need for money wasting. I kid you not, nothing I got was paramount or even very [...]
Moved to wordpress
Image via Wikipedia So today I finally got sick and tired of using the blogging platform I’d developed ontop of my framework, because while it’s alright for a lot of things like extreme flexibility and so on it does have its quirks … like me not being able to do too many fancy things since [...]
Dietary experiments
A few months ago I’ve spoken about student food going up in price and that I will most probably stop eating student food as a result. I would even find that particular post to link if I had more time to develop this blog and included a search, but alas, no luck. So anyhow, after [...]
World of Goo is the third game I ever bought legally
A few months ago I wrote about the failings of MAFIAA’s business model and pleaded with the aether for them to find something better. Well, now it would seem that a small independent games studio 2D Boy has discovered a solution I am willing to support. So I bought World of Goo. But let me [...]

The sixth photo
Another month, another online tagging meme and since I skipped the 23 things on facebook and another few I’ve decided to play along this time since @freeeky thinks I’m a good target for these things. Fine. Apparently the gist of the matter is going into your albums collection and upload the sixth image from the [...]
