New Links night oot

posted by Dogs @ 10:32:00 PM

I can't believe mmChronic has invited the whole of the local population to our night oot. The clever thing would have been to say that nobody is invited. Not that it would make any difference to the number who turn up but at least we'd feel less rejected.

By the way, if anyone is reading this, mmChronic will be the one sitting next to the three good looking blokes.

Wassup with Halo?


As Halo is down I'll just post my comments here... Had a thought...we won't be alone on Friday night. There will be Mossad agents, suicide bombers, RIAA lawyers, FBI...

Follow up: Ustka Mermaid

posted by mmChronic @ 10:18:00 PM


It seems Bungers has posted the hottest story to date. The Ustka Mermaid is generating loads of hits from searches.



Unfortunately they all seem to be looking for pictures. Did anyone find an actual picture on that site? I just saw a crappy logo thing with it on. This could be a job for ILuvNufc - he is used to delving around Polish sites looking for potato vodka recipes or something.

P2P 'no threat' to music sales

posted by bungers @ 9:43:00 AM

Morning me hearties! Feast yer land lubbing swabbies on this story that says "We find that file sharing has no statistically significant effect on purchases of the average album in our sample. Based on our results, we do not believe file sharing will have a significant effect on the supply of recorded music". Yaaaaaar!!

In other news, we were second last in the pub quiz last night. We had a strong starting round (2nd place out of about 12-14 teams), but we then went "all crap". What riled me even more than usual was the fact that there were some filthy students who commited the following nefarious deeds:
  1. Bought one drink each and sat with same drink all night
  2. Started out with four members in their team. Their ranks slowly swelled to eight by the time the quiz started. The "file size limit" on each team was imposed at six members at the start of the quiz.
  3. Used mobile phones to ring up their filthy "mates" for the answers (not even sneaking off to the toilets or anything)
  4. Won the jackpot question with a lucky guess and walked off home with more money than they all came in with put together.
  5. And one of them didn't have the decency to even smoke her tabs properly.
Fuskers.

Your blog is a bit sweaty

posted by mmChronic @ 9:23:00 AM

According to this post at Ben Brown his ex-company sold it's hardware when it went bust to Blogger. He made sure he wiped his nads over the hardware - and some of those servers are now running BlogSpot. ewww.



Of course it doesn't beat Gazza's famous genital wiping incident. Apparently just before the France World Cup, Gazza and several other England players were apparently left alone with the Jules Rimet cup. Gazza is alleged to have wiped his bellend all over the globe bit at the top of the cup. So of course when you see the clips of people like Le Bouef, Viera et al kissing the cup they are in fact kissing a fine layer of Geordie smeg. Post a link to the story please - although of course it may well be an urban legend but that won't stop me repeating it as fact.

It seems that the reason we're not getting any mini me's is because there is a shortage of hard drives.

Or have they wired the hard disk to a dynamo, so it can generate it's own source of perpetual power..?? That'll solve those pesky battery life woes!

THROW AXE AT DWARF erm... XYZZY!

posted by mmChronic @ 9:26:00 AM


Are those point'n'click adventures just a little too new fangled for you? Then you'll probably be right at home with some classic text adventures. The site has 6 playable online so far.



The first one is Adventure (or Colossal Cave). The very first time I played with a computer it was to play this at a very poorly attended computer exhibition thing in St Theresa's school when I was about 11/12. I say poorly attended - there was a bearded bloke who was running it, 3 computers (Apples I believe but I'm not going to swear to it) and me who only wandered in on the way home from Heaton Park. I spent ages playing this adventure and was hooked on computers from that point onwards.



The others on the site are Atari Adventure, Rogue, Zork I, II & III.

It seems the 10 Speccy games I posted yesterday run too fast. So to make up for it here is the homepage of an emulator called Hob that has 19 games playable on the site with a fair degree of overlap with my list yesterday. But what if you wanted to play one of the games that was on the list yesterday but not on Hob's? Well then you go to the site of JX Speccy which has 5,500 (count 'em) games online. They even have Moon Cresta for ILuvNufc. I think that should make up for it. Sorry!

The Friday 10

posted by mmChronic @ 8:59:00 AM

In a shameless bid to wrest the multipost title back I'm going to be inspired by the friday five which lists 5 questions on a Friday which you are supposed to answer and list on your blog.



All well and good but I believe Friday should be used more productively so here is New Links Friday 10 - 10 Spectrum (or Timex if you're American) games for you to play in your browser. Yay.

  1. Ant Attack

  2. Batty

  3. Chaos

  4. Chuckie Egg

  5. Elite (that's the last we'll see of Bungers)

  6. Manic Miner

  7. Jet Set Willy

  8. Lords of Midnight

  9. Scuba Dive

  10. Zynaps


There are other Spectrum games to play at the homesite of Jasper, a Speccy emulator.
For all the Spectrum stuff you could wobble a memory expansion pack at check out World Of Spectrum which has emulators, more games (but none by Ultimate!), programming documentation, manuals and lots of other stuff. Planet Sinclair has a lot of information on Sinclair products and is a good read.



You may also want to read reviews of the games (or just relive your youth!) in Crash or Your Sinclair.



All hail the mighty Clive.



Ooh look - 10 links to games, 10 various other bits of linkage + the main link to the Friday 5 site makes erm... 21. Result.

Nicked this one from Fark, but it's got a mint picture, so I'm not bothered! Simon Cowell gives the other American Idol judges the bird, live on TV, in front of 27 milliooooon viewers. Predictibly, the ol' septic tanks flip out like a bunch of Ninja's... So Simon scores points for:
  1. Flipping the bird
  2. Having a tasty girlfriend
He even has his own fansites!

Did I mention I looooove American's...?? (Fusk it... I'm going for the record!) See we've been getting a lot of traffic from Google lately, and a lot of it's been from the good ol' US of A. See I love lots of american things... after all, they gave us the Hollywood and Carmen Electra. They also invented the SawFish, which is the worlds first underwater chainsaw wielding robot. It cuts down trees that have been submerged under lakes behind dams. Speaking of chainsaw wielders, anyone who's seen the front cover of Edge this month will see they got some coverage of Resident Evil 4 (or Biohazard 4 as it's called in Japan). Capcom established the "survival horror" genre with the release of the first Resi game in 1996. Hand's up if you remember Alone in the Dark - the game that kicked it all off in 1992. And that should put me in the Guinness Book of Records. ;)

Banned Music has been started to aid in the distribution of music that the record companies don't want you to hear. If an artist gets legal threats this site will set up a BitTorrent stream for their music and distribute it for them. Unsurprisingly the Metallica / Jay Z mash up referred to on Tuesday has been banned already - and yes Banned Music has a stream for it.

The Truth About Cobain

posted by mmChronic @ 2:38:00 PM


There have been rumours that Kurt Cobain, the Nirvana frontman, was murdered knocking about since his death. CobainWasKilled.com seems to think so. They say they will be revealing the truth between March 16th and April 3rd.



They are doing this via a series of questions. Amongst their clues are the fact there was a similar episode of Law and Order (script written by this?), a Siskel & Ebert (WTF!?) review of the case apparently came up with a 3 thumbs down for murder and Courtney Love's latest album not selling because Nirvana fans aren't buying it.



The last clue is of course ignoring totally the fact that the stuff she does is crap! That and the increasingly erratic behaviour means no one is interested in Courtney Love anymore which is presumably the reason her behaviour is getting ever more bizarre even going so far as to accuse rocker Ted Nugent of paedophilia. Of course she may be telling the truth about this but the strange way she revealed it included 'phoning the Howard Stern show, then going in and spilling the beans.



For more on Cobain's death check out JusticeForkurt.com which has a lot more background info.

As mentioned in the comments on this post I promised an exploding whale and that's just what you've got. QT movie in 2 sizes - 3Mb & 11Mb.



Synopsis: a whale is found dead on beach & local town too cheap to get rid of it properly so they stick half a ton of dynamite inside it instead. What they weren't expecting was the deluge of huge chunks of whale blubber (leave sound on - you have to hear the sound of falling whale lumps at least once in your life) - big enough to destroy cars they landed on.

Nanniebots: Hoax, Fraud, or Delusion?

posted by mmChronic @ 10:40:00 AM


It seems the NannieBots that were going to protect 'the children' from the net nonces were too good to be true. NTK raised concerns last week over the way the media were tripping over themselves to cover the story in gushing, sychophantic 'save the children' mode. What is it about the mere mention of paedophilia that makes people believe whatever is fed to them? Brass Eye anyone?



Anyhoo - after blogger Cameron Marlow secured an exclusive interview (full transcript) with one of the bots it seems we either had a revolutionary advance in AI or some sort of cheating.



But it gets better - today Waxy.org have a piece about the author of the software - and his self-confessed mental problems, links to Holocaust denial postings he put on Usenet & the death threats he has made!



Coding - it's the profession of the mentally ill! I'm off to wrap my head in silver foil.

Zombie Bonanza (includes free film)

Yesterday's post about a zombie blog seems to be just one of a series of zombie phenomena around the world. The RIAA is under attack by zombies, "Dawn of the Dead" has been remade & now zombies are even going in for glamour shots at Zombie Pinups. Spookiest of all though is the fact that "Night of the Living Dead" is available free from the Internet Archive due to it's copyright expiring - or is it some part of evil living dead conspiracy? You decide.

It doesn't seem to mention their effectiveness when bolted to a tank in Red Alert though - pah!

Seem's the Beatles must be short of a few bob these days, as they're intending to sue Apple over our beloved iPod and Apple Music (it's about half way down this page).

You'd think that
  1. They've got enough money
  2. They'd support kids listening to music
  3. They'd realise that the only people who get rich in court cases are the lawyers

Did you know you can't actually buy any Beatles music in the Apple Store on iTunes..? Funny that... ;)

p.s. Apple already paid them $48 million a few years ago because of "trademark infringement"

p.p.s. And they've already annoyed me over being so petty over the whole "Grey Album" thing! Nyah!!

The short story called Guts or, aka, the story that makes people faint.

Consists of three short stories the first two are tales of major embaressment and if you don't find them amusing then don't even bother to look at the final story.

You have been warned.

Edit: Major apologies - the third story is missing - prize to the first one to find it (a story about a kid playing with the pump in a swimming pool...absolutely the grossest true story I've ever read.)

Follow up: Validation results

posted by mmChronic @ 3:55:00 PM


After Bungers' post this morning I decided to check out the results and fix any problems. The vast majority (after I fixed a couple of style bits which removed over half the errors) was the & character appearing in links - I replaced these with the & entity and they all disappeared. So for valid xhtml in future you need to do the replacement or face the wrath of Bungers.



So we are down to 27 errors currently (from 444) and they are as follows:

  • 1 in the template - my error which I'll sort out soon.

  • 6 down to errors in the blogspot/google banner which I can do nothing about.

  • 20 down to some cluebait's use of <br> instead of <br /> in their posts. They can fix that themselves!


So we have lost 3-4 hours link searching time to get almost 100% xhtml compatibility. Unfortunately xhtml being the beast it is means it is invalid xhtml if it is not 100% correct. I'll get rid of my one remaining error and that's as close as we get. I'll just have to stick the valid xhtml logo on with a disclaimer stating "valid apart from BlogSpot's and Bungers' code. Bastards.".



EDIT: For all your xhtml needs.

I just started reading "Stupid White Men" tonight, so I'll be posting a full review here soon! Actually, the reason I was snooping around the site was because he says that there's a load of stuff he couldn't publish in the British edition because of UK censorship.

Remember all the house burnings in Wales in the eighties? Apparently they have never been solved! But the investigation is being reopened after the advent of better DNA tools and allegations of police support for the arsonists at the time.



We went camping in Snowdonia last summer (and can highly recommend the ice cream shop in Beddgelert!) and lots of the bilingual (English and throat clearing exercises) had the English portion painted out. Stupid twunts. Without tourists, English or otherwise, Wales would have nowt except choirs and nervous sheep. The whole economy as far as I could see seemed to be built on tourism so it seems a particularly silly way to go.

SenseCam

posted by mmChronic @ 10:03:00 AM



After their advice for the decrepit, it seems Microsoft are doing even more for those failing in their mental faculties.

SenseCam is a badge-sized wearable camera that captures up to 2000 VGA images per day. In addition, sensor data such as movement, light level and temperature is recorded. This is similar to an aircraft "Black Box" accident recorder but miniaturised for the human body. It could help with memory recall, e.g. where did I leave my spectacles or keys? who did I meet last week? by doing a "rewind" of the days events. If a person has an accident, the events and images leading up to this will be recorded, and these could be useful to health workers. It could also be used for automatic blog generation.

I like the sound of automatic blog generation - it could take pictures of all the sites I visit and you can work out the links from the tiny text in the address bar in the screenshot. Sweet - no typing for me, headaches for you.

UEFA Cup 4th round draw

posted by mmChronic @ 9:02:00 AM

Try to tackle me and I'll break your fscking legs!W00t! NUFC are through to the 4th round of the UEFA cup. After the first half last night I thought we wouldn't make it - Valarenga played like they did in the second half of the first leg and were all over us. We just weren't in it apart from being gifted a goal by a totally cack decision from the linesman assistant referee. Bobby obviously beat them with big fsckoff sticks at half time as we came out much better. I was mystified at why Bellas had been taken off (unless it was due to injury from the constant hacking off that Hagen gimp - I was fully expecting to see him laid out by Al but it didn't happen - bah!) but I'm glad he was as Ameobi was excellent - 2 goals and some lush touches and turns. Still think he's shiat Dogs? Goals in Champions League, UEFA Cup & Premier League say different. :)

Anyhoo the draw is at 1pm GMT today. I will post a link to the live draw Flash gizmo UEFA usually do when I can find it but for now you'll have to be satisfied with this. It's a list of the seeded and unseeded teams. They are supposed to be divided into 2 pots of 4 seeded and 4 unseeded but there are no details of the division as yet. We aren't seeded (which I knew) but neither are Celtic - which means we can't meet them in the next round. We get to play one of the following:-

Barca, Valencia, Liverpool, Inter, Roma, Mallorca, Bordeaux, PSV
If we play as badly as we have recently then we are out next round - however we seem to do OK against bigger teams (/remembers wonderful night in Milan last year!) so bring them on! :)

Which Peanuts Character are You?
Apparantly...!

That aside, I added momentum to a rumour in the early nineties that the lyrics to Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm by the Crash test dummies were actually "Fsking H3ll". I don't think I was the actual origin of said rumour, but it seems to have fizzled out. Have I gone mad..?? Or did they actually record a version of this? I've searched the site, and the interweb, but to no avail! Has anyone heard this rumour..??? And can anyone substantiate it..??!!

Invisibles Quiz

posted by mmChronic @ 11:57:00 AM

I remember seeing sometime last year one of those Excel spreadheets with a quiz - the subject being stills from films with the actors digitally removed and you had to name the film. Well the FilmWise site has loads of them - presumably the source of the ones in the spreadsheet version?

The Truth For Youth

posted by mmChronic @ 11:39:00 AM



The Truth For Youth is a Christian comic trying to steer children away from pornography, homosexuality, abortion etc etc.



I wonder if they have a section on how to stay out of the clutches of Catholic priests?

No, they haven't reopened the mines. Apparently the Metro will have the country's first commercial underground texting service.

Bloke breaks church windows playing football

posted by mmChronic @ 11:00:00 AM

But it's not just any church window - it's a window in the Santiago de Compostela (St James of the Field of Stars) cathedral in Madrid. It wasn't just any old bloke either - it was Ronaldhino our dentally challenged friend from Brazil.



Imagine if he had signed for us in summer - I hardly think we could have coped with accusations of breaking church windows on top of the accusations of drink driving, racism, roasting, witchcraft and whatever else the tabloid media want to throw at us.

Smelly one for Bungers

posted by mmChronic @ 10:44:00 AM

If your mysterious office smell comes back give this bloke a call - he'll track it down for you.




Puzzlingly described as bearish in the article he doesn't actually appear to be wearing any facial hair of any sort in the pics! He should sue.




EDIT: Eek! That gay dictionary defines Bungie Boy as "Straight-acting, but gay or bi-boy". I don't think I need to say anymore.

Sick of waiting for a Newcastle flavoured version of Club Football? Don't worry. There's still no sign of it but a Toon Army game has been announced. It's not football though - it's a WWII FPS in a cartoon stylee.

Animusic continued

posted by Dogs @ 7:49:00 PM

The Animusic site is actually flogging footage from a real time 3d demo that is downloadable from the ATI demo page but sadly I suspect that this amazing 3d demo will not want to run on NVidia hardware.
