Games Programmers

I wonder. Are games programmers really that good at playing the games that they make? I suppose that on average they are good gamers. They'd only get out there to make games if they were more or less thoroughly obsessed with gaming. I presume that with this starting point and then knowing everything there is to know about the games that they make themselves, they would really be good at playing them.

Peer Pressure

Hahaha ... I see that Chris has given in and capitalised his C!

Introductions

I am here to introduce me. I am total unique, original and non conformist conformist with no originality and a total non uniqueness.

ok bye now!

Isn't it ironic.

When you write a song about Irony, and it isn't ironic?

More to the point, the Company at which I work seems to have gotten a "Conservationist of the Year" award. I find this somewhat confusing. We are on a very large plot of land, most of which the company is not allowed to develop because its a protected conservation area. So, basically theres all this ground we have to ignore, while we keep our wanton destruction of wildlife habitat isolated to the one corner of the property.

Which means the award is really rewarding us for, well, not destroying as much nature as we might have and no more than we were allowed to.

But wait - it doesnt stop there. The Award itself is a kind of trophy - made of wood - in fact it appears to be a 30cm high trunk of some indigenous bush - most likley one of the protected species - thats had its bark stripped off and been polished and mounted on a base.

How a piece of killed tree comes to symbolise conservation boggles my mind.

Almost Famous

Considering what social rejects we all are, if we were to get famous for any reason and be in the public's eye, do you think that any of you would be able to handle that gracefully? I don't think that I would or could. They might force me to wear shoes. Those dogs. Why would they do such a thing?!

Consistency

I wish that "chris" would have used an upper case "C" in his name. You know ... just for the sake of consistency. Do you think he did this because he feels small and insignificant?

Nevermore

Great metal band. Vocals take a bit of getting used to at first but after a while you realise that it all fits perfectly! I highly recomment this stuff.

Random Linkage

First, for those held hostage by overzelous IT departments, a Password Generator.

Next, This is the Web Browser you should be using. And this is first plugin that you install. These plugins will also be helpful.

Fuck.

I figure my other blog is going to be found by familly real soon, so im going to have to swear a lot here. Fuck.

Oi!!

Wheres my admin access??? :P

Lies. Lies.

What? No. I like chinese! I'm frankly offended by your lack of trust.

Indiscriminate Discrimination

This is a sideline attempt to pick on me because I'm chinese right? Bastards ...

Yes, I hate people who discriminate. They should all be shot or locked up forever or something.

Non-alcoholic alcohol ...

I think I need some.

Klendathu

I reckon that all these rocks are being flung by those alien bugs over on Klendathu. Its a trial and error thing at the moment. Once they actually score a hit on us, we can expect lots more to be spot on. Either that or its all just random rocks floating around in space.

Where did all these rocks come from?

It seems like every other month I read about yet-another "city sized" rock making a flyby past the planet. What really concerns me is most of these things are announced when their pass by is immanent. This can only mean one of two things: Option 1 is that the things are really flying out of the darkness and suprising us mere months before they miss (or altnatively hit) our poor planet. Option 2 is that our astronomer types tracking these things DO know theyre heading our way years in advance, but don't know if the rock is going to hit us or not until its merely a couple of months out.

Neither option fills me with confidence.

More signs of coffee abuse

Good ol' Chris changes his mind about Eve online just about every minute that goes by (per second billing anyone?).

So theres a total lunar eclipse tonight. It also happens to be a full moon. Guess we'll know that it all happened by the fact that we won't be able to see anything? ...

Coffee Abuse

From the offerings of my fellows on this blog so far, I can only surmise that they drink far too much coffee and that its taking its toll on them. They don't seem the type to partake in other (possibly banned) substances so we'll have to leave it at coffee abuse for now.
