Nappak sleeping cube is a home away from home
"The large nature of this and the fact it includes wheels when rolled up is definitely peculiar. Expect to have a slumber party in this thing, rolling it from cube to cube? Well, I guess that would work if you have a really relaxed office environment."Rather then improving the sleeping conditions in your office, why not try going home at the end of the day and sleeping in your bed.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 Release Notes Rewritten in Plain Eng
Ubuntu claims to be a “Linux for Human Beings,” and for the most part they actually do a good job of it. One place they fail miserably is in their release notes - they’re just too damn complicated for anyone who doesn’t know what all the different component names stand for. I decided to rewrite the release notes in simple language.

ABC News: The Burqa Gets a Makeover
Law of the playground
I was just reading this and it made my laugh
sliding
Sounds innocent enough, but at our school the term 'sliding' was invented after Mark Myers climbed up the ladder of a playground slide, and did a shit at the top. He then pissed around the shit, causing the excretia to descend the slide like a kind of warm piss and shit log* flume.
In a vain attempt to achieve equal glory, Craig Campbell-Ace crapped onto the lower part of the slide, but only managed to produce tidy little nuggets and immediately demanded toilet paper.
Not quite the urine soaked, rock 'n' roll finish we gave Mark credit for.

The age of the interactive movie
Once upon a time there was a games console called the Sega Mega Drive. One day they created an ill conceived add-on for this games console called the Mega CD. This add-on allowed the gamers of the time to play a range of terrible, terrible games known as interactive movies. Let me explain further: The big brains of the computer game industry looked at the vast amount of data that could be stored on CD ROMs (600MB rather then the few megabytes available on cartridge) and decided that he only way they could fill this up would be with full-motion-video. So they set about making terrible, terrible movies with a just enough interactivity that you could call them games. One of the most famous (or is that infamous) of these genera was Night Trap. A take on the teen-screamer horror movie involving vampires. Due to the *scary-nes* of vampires and teenage girls this was given a 15 certificate (quite un heard of at the time). This abysmal pile of donkey sick apparently cost $1.5 million dollars to make. In the age of web2.0 and such we can now watch all of the video from this game, without having to put ourselves through the pain of actually playing it, or he shame of owning a Mega CD and I have to say, its bad… …real bad. Second on this list of terrible, terrible “games” for the Mega CD where the Make My Video games. As far as I know they only made two of these games, one staring the got-dressed-in-the-dark child stars Kriss Kross and the then naff-Calvin-Cline-new-kids-on-the-block-brother and now pretty good movie actor Marky Mark (nee Wahlberg) and the Funky Bunch. As the name suggests, in these games you have to edit bits of video together to make a music video. Is it just me, or does that sound like no fun what so ever? Aside from the Mega CD, numerous shocking titles on the PC, such as the bizarre half (actually quite good) space pilot shoot-em-up half live action movie Wing Commander games. Platforms like the ill fated 3DO and the Phillips CD-i where awash with these terrible, terrible excuses fro entertainment, but you can look for these yourself if you like. I am pleased to say that this genre died out by the end of the 90’s, only in games such as the Command and Conquer: Red Alert series can they get away with such awful scenery chewing performances, and only then because it’s a send-up of the dross that came before it.

Google is a witch Burn the witch, burn!!! This is a new feature of the always-top-of-the-class Google maps, its Google street view. When you hit the street view button up by the usual “satellite” and “hybrid” buttons it highlights a bunch of roads. On these roans you can move a little man shaped marker, this them pops up a panoramic view of the area from this point. Such as: What’s left of the world trade centre Central Park Or even The middle of the Brooklyn Bridge Move the little man around for yourself, you will soon agree we need to get the eWitch Finder General on the case here.

Yet more top notch you tube Robot Chicken. It’s a stop motion animation comedy clip shop, vaguely reminiscent of what Adam and Joe used to do. Most of their stuff is based on stuff from the 80s, toys and computer games (or toys from the 80s and such). Episode 2 is a good one to start with , so here it is. There is loads more on you tube.

Star Fleet
In a moment of nostalgia today, I found myself looking at a fan site for the 80’s, puppet based, Saturday morning sci-fi show Star Fleet. This is a Japanese show that was localised for a western audience, so obviously the main focus of the show is a big stompy robot, as I think all Japanese sci-fi is.
I recall enjoying this show a lot when I was a kid, so bare that in mind when you read my following statement.
Aside form the Japanese\manga styling’s of the show, it’s a appalling bunch of stolen or moronic ideas.
The shows name, “star fleet” stolen wholesale from Star Trek.
In the show, the universe is starting to pick up the pieces after the end of the “space war 3”. I guess they must have asked a two year old to come up with that one.
Just look at the state of the main characters
It looks like something you would see on a verity club bus.
Most cynical of all is the state of the main ship form the program, the X-Bomber, sound familiar? It should to, what on earth is this supposed to be? It looks like someone left an X-wing fighter from Star Wars on the radiator over night.
That aside, I am sure the show was brilliant.
Oh, and for added crediblity, Brain May did a cover of the theme song.

The world of Ricky Gervais
I am a big Ricky Gervais fan. In part because he is from Reading and I have seen him in the Monks Retreat, in part because he produces some fantastic and original comedy but largely because of the peculiar world which he in habits.
In no better place is this world documented then the Pilkipedia, a wiki site names after one of his unusual friends Karl Pilkington. I am in the process of listing to all of the Ricky Gervais shows that he did on X-fm with Steve Merchant where the details of these strange peoples lives are gone in to in quite fine detail and puts the information in the Pilkipedia in to context, I hope that reading it without this context it makes some sort of sense to you.Labels: links
Gays? Not in my guest house
This is the story of a guest house in Ulster who’s owner, Adrian Watson believes in "total tolerance to the gay community", just not in his b+b. The reasons he gives for this are:
The father of three said the business was based in the family home, and his wife, a Christian, could be upset.
Well, you know what these gays are like, no doubt they will be bumming each other over the breakfast table while the other guests are tucking in to their boiled eggs. Or perhaps the sight of a man using moisturiser or carefully colour co-ordinating their outfit to go with their luggage is offensive to Christians?
"It is difficult because my 14-year-old daughter helps out immensely. And the obvious question: 'Why are two men, or why are two women in a double room?'"
I can see the problem. I think they easiest way to deal with this is that is to say “they would have got two rooms, but the only have one hot water bottle so they had to share”. If you did say “they are a gay couple” I dare say his daughter would either go in to shock and have a seizure, or worse, head straight out the door to get a crew cut, purple dungarees, a pair of comfortable shoes and a Charlene Spiteri poster
However Mr Watson did say what people did in their private lives was "entirely their own business and I have no difficulty with that". I believe that he also has no problems with what dogs and blacks get up to in their private lives (in this case I think we can take Irish as a given).
To the real point of this article.
I am far from the worlds biggest fan of religion, particularly when it is used to provide credibility camouflage to bigots. If you don’t like gays, and you don’t want them to stay in your b+b then say so, don’t mince around pretending that you are doing what the bible tells you to do.
Also
Is it just me, or dose he look like he may bat for the other side anyway?
