Since it’s new year’s eve day party thingy mcthing I’ll keep this short because nobody is going to read it anyway. Last night I went to see A Clockwork Orange at the playhouse and it was just a thing of joy. Shit was so cash. No seriously, everybody who has ever even thought about doing [...]
These are the times I love my job
Today I spent five solid hours programming (so far) and didn’t write a single line of code, nay, not even a single character. All I did was think with the whiteboard. Eventually covering about 15 square meters of whiteboard in squiggly lines and weird characters and all sorts of stuff that I probably shouldn’t explain [...]
Everybody should watch Children of Men
Children of Men is a bloody brilliant movie that the above trailer doesn’t quite do justice. It is quite simply the best dystopian/post-apocalyptic story my brain has ever had the pleasure of listening to. The story revolves around the idea of what would happen if the whole world turned to shit, humanity was doomed and [...]
Like Angelina and Scarlet having sex with your eyes
Last night I watched Avatar nice and proper at the moving pictures – in 3D of course because fuck it, if they spent developing the funky new tech for seven years, I bloody well feel obliged to watch the movie as it was intended. In short … it was fucking awesome! This is the first [...]
Holidays – finally some time to work!
Traditionally new year’s and Christmas have held a special place in the heart of students all over the world – it’s usually a time when everybody gets a winter break, that proper time when you’re not studying for exams, when you’re not doing anything special, when you’re just enjoying yourself. Lovely. Bullshit! The real reason [...]
Brittany Murphy was really hawt
Image via Wikipedia There is something specially tragic about sexy people leaving this world. There was a big humbug when James Dean died, there was an outrage Jim Morrison died, there was an uproar when Hendrix passed and there was a whole lot of baawwing all over the interwebs when mr. Heath Ledger died last [...]
How the card is chosen
Upon first meeting people most of their attention is devoted to the card I have stuck in my hat. Upon second time meeting a person their questions about the card suddenly become hey didn’t you have a different card last time? Well yeah, I do change it every day dude … This quickly becomes, well [...]
How I discovered one of the greatest influences on my life
Image via Wikipedia Last night I was discussing goth music with a mate and somehow the debate turned into my showing him around what goth music was in the first place. Blahblahblah. This eventually led to my showing him Velvet Acid Christ, which I still don’t know whether they’re goth or industrial. And then I [...]
Switching from apache to nginx is a dream
Image via Wikipedia Since as far back as my memory goes I’ve been using Apache for my main, primary, and absolutely only webserver. It was the workhorse of everything from dev environments to production machines serving tens of pages. But throughout this love affair there was one constant – I had to change things. This [...]
The webcomics I love
Webcomics have been an internet constant for a while now and while I’ve become a fan almost in their infancy back when Elftor and PA were king (I never read PA) … oh must’ve been something like *gulp* eight years ago … fuck I’m old. Anyhow, my second big love was CAD, which I’ve been [...]
