    t = http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1406 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1406 1 As an extrapolation, where the project in question has multiple participants and you are explaining your part to one (or more) of your co-participants explanation time (te) must be less than total doing time (td) divided by the number of people present (n). Note: the case n = 1 reduces this to the original law. We are of course ignoring the time cost to any non-participants, so in their cases we should take into account the time it would take them, when presented with the final product, to take in and understand the finished product. Additionally, if you choose to explain this on multiple occasions then each listener must be counted for each time they listen. So at the risk of falling foul of my own law: Just do it. 1. This is perhaps a little harsh as there are a multitude of reasons why you may need to discuss a potential project but I think the key here is that rather than discussing you are explaining. You are telling someone what you are going to do, what the finished product will be which could as easily be acheived by supplying them with said product.]]> 1406 2009-08-20 17:11:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1250798572 _edit_last 1 Sisyphus Design http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1443 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1443 1443 2009-08-26 16:32:25 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1251300745 _edit_last 1 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1536 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1536 1536 2009-09-02 20:16:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1251922336 _edit_last 1 Managers of one http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1614 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1614 1614 2009-09-17 21:33:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1253219635 _edit_last 1 Cryptobotany http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1689 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1689 1689 2009-09-30 14:32:13 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1254335607 _edit_last 1 waves http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1921 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1921 1921 2009-11-09 11:12:13 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_last 1 _edit_lock 1257762734 Angel with a gun http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2191 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2191 2191 2009-12-23 12:01:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1261997863 _edit_last 1 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2212 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2212 2212 2010-01-04 18:07:07 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1262630530 _edit_last 1 Karate Kid http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2267 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2267 Here's hoping there's a seen where Jackie Chan gets lashed and busts out some Drunken Master...]]> 2267 2010-01-12 21:30:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1263332261 _edit_last 1 CMYK-Stitch http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2308 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2308 2308 2010-01-21 22:14:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1264112424 _edit_last 1 Death http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2319 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2319 2319 2010-01-24 20:48:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1264366108 _edit_last 1 Brought to you by the letter P http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2345 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2345 2345 2010-01-31 15:51:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1264953100 _edit_last 1 Legends of the Dark Knight http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2650 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2650 darkknight]]> 2650 2010-06-06 18:32:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1275845570 _edit_last 1 Your dancing is fucking sick http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2674 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2674 2674 2010-06-15 20:37:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_lock 1277381589 _edit_last 1 Perv/Geek Spam Crossover http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2709 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2709

The scientists theorized that the ancestor was Genghis Khan (or, more exactly, an eleventh-century ancestor of Genghis Khan). About eight per cent of all males in the region studied, or sixteen million men, possess this chromosome signature. It is possible, therefore, that more than thirty-two million people in the world today are descended from Genghis Khan. This reminds me a little bit of the QI episode where it turns out that while looking into the panel's genealogies, the  researchers disc (via Kottke)]]> 2905 2010-08-13 19:49:08 0000-00-00 00:00:00 open open draft 0 0 post _edit_last 1 _edit_lock 1281725348 Ambitions update! http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=3020 Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=3020 to recap, my ambitions were to:
    • Beat my Leam 10k time - Failed
    • Go on holiday - Haven't yet, I'm hoping to take some time off at some point but that will be to decorate rather than to go away
    • Grow, cook and eat something - Not looking likely, if I'm going to succeed I need to plant something pretty soon
    • Start liking wine - In an ultimate failure I'm not sure I've even drank any wine this year...
    • Improve my knowledge of a foreign language - I've bought a conversational Italian CD for my car but haven't listened to it yet
    On the other hand I have bought a house which kinda thumps these ambitions.]]>

The last book I read that was a truly unexpected joy was Baudolino (and just to make sure it wasn't that I read it on my somewhat ill-fated Xmas '07 trip to Copenhagen I re-read it and enjoyed it as much the second time round). I used to think that the best thing that had ever been on television was The West Wing but I'm starting to think it's probably The Wire. I used to be a bit of a hardcore gamer (PC) but it seems with each console I purchase (Wii, 360) I play less. I enjoy cooking, drawing, playing music, basketball and travelling - which makes it seem all the more stupid that I don't do these things very often. I wish I could speak Japanese and do a cartwheel. I am also a bit lot of a geek. Update 24/10/2009 I intended to update everything once I'd been doing this for a year, but given that my first post was in September last year but my second wasn't until January this seemed like a good enough mid-point. Since I started this I've become an uncle (though I've yet to meet my niece) and gained a brother-in-law, my 360 has been stolen (along with my old Powerbook and iPod Nano) the loss of which appears to have disproved my increase in consoles = decrease in gaming rule and I'm still no closer to speaking Japanese or doing a cartwheel. Of cooking, drawing, playing music, basketball and travelling I've failed to do more of the last two. On the cooking front I tend to flit between cooking extravagant feasts and living off takeaways and I'm on the way to drawing more (I'm even threatening to try out some ink and wash paintings) but I think the one I've actually managed to do more of is playing music - even though to achieve it I had to splash out on an electric piano (though it was worth every penny). My most popular post tags tell me my favourite things to wax lyrical about are: Japan, Star Wars, Mythical Creatures and Mario with honourable mentions for Rugby and Kittens.]]> 2 2008-09-21 21:30:35 2008-09-21 19:30:35 open open about publish 0 0 page _edit_lock 1256554223 _edit_last 1 _wp_page_template default 370 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/10/24/just-about/ 213.165.76.155 2009-10-24 14:03:20 2009-10-24 13:03:20 1 pingback 0 0 Happy New Year! http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/01/02/happy-new-year/ Fri, 02 Jan 2009 20:33:25 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=7 7 2009-01-02 21:33:25 2009-01-02 20:33:25 open open happy-new-year publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1230928405 _edit_last 1 1 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/01/04/twice-in-as-many-days/attachment/1/ Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:07:28 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/1.gif 10 2009-01-04 00:07:28 2009-01-04 00:07:28 open open 1 inherit 9 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/1.gif _wp_attached_file /homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/1.gif _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";i:450;s:6:"height";i:492;s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='87'";s:4:"file";s:64:"/homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/1.gif";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:13:"1-150x150.gif";s:5:"width";i:150;s:6:"height";i:150;}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:13:"1-274x300.gif";s:5:"width";i:274;s:6:"height";i:300;}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";i:0;s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";i:0;s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";i:0;s:3:"iso";i:0;s:13:"shutter_speed";i:0;s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} 2 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/01/04/twice-in-as-many-days/attachment/2/ Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:08:30 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/2.gif 11 2009-01-04 00:08:30 2009-01-04 00:08:30 open open 2 inherit 9 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/2.gif _wp_attached_file /homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/2.gif _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";i:450;s:6:"height";i:492;s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='87'";s:4:"file";s:64:"/homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/2.gif";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:13:"2-150x150.gif";s:5:"width";i:150;s:6:"height";i:150;}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:13:"2-274x300.gif";s:5:"width";i:274;s:6:"height";i:300;}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";i:0;s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";i:0;s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";i:0;s:3:"iso";i:0;s:13:"shutter_speed";i:0;s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Twice in as many days http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/01/04/twice-in-as-many-days/ Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:09:53 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=9 First rough of site layout[/caption] Then after I decided i wanted to go a bit more pixel happy we were looking at something a little more like: [caption id="attachment_11" align="alignnone" width="274" caption="Alternate rough"]Alternate rough[/caption] And now we have what we have which is fairly basic but at is at least usable (and includes a little bit of my favourite scribble).

  • Rattus rattus
  • The Camel Leopard

  • The Sparrow Camel
  • Gorilla gorilla gorilla (for Final Fling fans see also...)

Additional: Although I don't like the idea of the group's membership requirements, I think there's a good pub quiz question to be had out of the Barbary Lion, Pere David's Deer and the Hawaiian Crow I'd kind of hoped my binomial name list would be more extensive but as I can hear birdsong I think I should retire - hopefully I'll add to my list over the next few days.]]>

    I don’t understand the cultural fascination with failure being the source of great lessons to be learned. What did you learn? You learned what didn’t work. Now you won’t make the same mistake twice, but you’re just as likely to make a different mistake next time. You might know what won’t work, but you still don’t know what will work. That’s not much of a lesson.

turned into a cyborg) but annoyingly I can't find it anywhere on the tinterweb. It's from the 1983 animated adaptation of the Wind in the Willows and it's the bit when Moly goes into the Wild Wood to meet Badger and it's all dark and snowy and the weasels are in the shadows and the music's crazy scary and then he trips over Badger's door-scraper. Given that the Superman III cyborg is nowhere near as scary as I remember I imagine that the Wild Woods aren't either but it definitely used to freak me out. On a related note if anyone fancies reading the Wind in the Willows it's online here.

I don't want to say too much because I always get a bit paranoid about jinxing our chances but I'm definitely pretty excited (where by pretty excited I mean super-psyched) about the Six Nations this year. I think the schedule is good for us and although I don't agree with leaving out Eoin Reddan I think the rest of the team for our opener is the right one and without a doubt BOD should be our captain. Also interested to see how Bergamasco gets on at scrum half...]]> 179 2009-02-06 18:54:11 2009-02-06 18:54:11 open open yes-we-can publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1248604883 _edit_last 1 n64 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/02/07/handheld-n64/n64/ Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:31:24 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/n64.jpg 182 2009-02-07 11:31:24 2009-02-07 11:31:24 open open n64 inherit 181 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/n64.jpg _wp_attached_file /homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/n64.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";i:450;s:6:"height";i:338;s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='96' width='127'";s:4:"file";s:66:"/homepages/32/d247617182/htdocs/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/n64.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:1:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:15:"n64-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";i:150;s:6:"height";i:150;}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";i:0;s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";i:0;s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";i:0;s:3:"iso";i:0;s:13:"shutter_speed";i:0;s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Handheld N64 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/02/07/handheld-n64/ Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:32:31 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=181 The Nintendo Sixtyfree Lite-R ]]> 181 2009-02-07 11:32:31 2009-02-07 11:32:31 open open handheld-n64 publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1248604872 _edit_last 1 Oo-De-Lally http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/02/07/oo-de-lally/ Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:00:35 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=184 waxy.org

My personal favourites have to be:
    3) Use the Time Machine to Cheat ...John will say "Well, Terminator, I'll just make sure my future self sends someone back in time to set up a bucket to drop on your head!" Then the Terminator has a bucket dropped on it's head with the words "Wild Stallyns Rule" written on it, and oh, isn't Skynet embarrassed! Excellent!
    And of course:
    2) Have the Terminators Step in Front of his Lighting John Connor hates that shit.

http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=218 Hornswoggle hasn't appeared on my Word Calendar (yet) but I came across this word today and decided it's time we brought more fancified words from the American West back into fashion.
    We do not know the origin of hornswoggle. We do know that it belongs to a group of “fancified” words that were particularly popular in the American West in the 19th century. Hornswoggle is one of the earliest, first appearing around 1829. It is possible that these words were invented to poke fun at the more “sophisticated” East. Some other words of this ilk are absquatulate, also first appearing in the 1820s, skedaddle, first attested in 1861 in Missouri, and discombobulate, first recorded in 1916.
    I still use skedaddle but have never even heard of absquatulate. Also as it's Friday the thirteenth I should probably mention friggatriskaidekaphobia - unfortunately for any friggatriskaidekaphobics we've still got two more to come this year.]]>

    A 2002 Yale University study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that people who have a positive perception of aging tend to live seven and a half years longer than those who don't. The difference may be the result of a better response to stress or even just the will to live, according to the study.

    Between the ages of 30 and 90, the brain loses about 10 percent of its volume. Forgetfulness isn't an automatic result, however. Scientists have found that loss of brain cells due to aging isn't as steep as once thought. In fact, they now believe memory problems aren't a natural part of growing older. Studies have shown that people with bad memories as older adults probably had the same deficiency when they were younger. But later in life, we may attribute it to aging.

    Crossword puzzles, practicing the piano and playing chess exercise the brain, counteracting these natural changes. Exercise helps cognitive function too, studies show.

    Pursuing the same reasoning, Hölldobler and Wilson argue that the nests of some ants correspond to the skin and skeleton of other creatures. Some ant nests are so enormous that they are akin to the skeletons of whales. Those of one species of leafcutter ant from South America, for example, can contain nearly two thousand individual chambers, some with a capacity of fifty liters, and they can involve the excavation of forty tons of earth and extend over hundreds of square feet. Coordination within such giant colonies, which can house eight million individual ants, occurs through ant communication systems that are extraordinarily sophisticated and are the equivalent of the human nervous system. Not all ant species have reached this level of organization. Indeed, one of the most successful groups of ants, the ponerines, rarely qualifies for superorganism status.
    As well as some of the random experiments we do with them:
    It has recently been found that ant explorers count their steps to determine where they are in relation to home. This remarkable ability was discovered by researchers who lengthened the legs of ants by attaching stilts to them. The stilt-walking ants, they observed, became lost on their way home to the nest at a distance proportionate to the length of their stilts.
    I'll add this to my favourite ant fact about the pheromone given off when some species die that in small quantities attracts more ants (to help fight off threats) but in larger quantities repels them (so the whole colony doesn't die for a lost cause) and the awesome video of them building a raft. The whole thing also brings to mind Granny Weatherwax 'borrowing' the swarm.]]>

Talking of Google this is also quite cool:

    Allen sets his romantic comedy on the Upper West Side, where wealthy dermatologist Dr. Herbert Manhattan (Allen) suffers a freak accident with his dermabrasion machine. How will his blue skin and omnipotence affect his relationship with beautiful but scatterbrained silk importer Laurie Juspeczyk (Scarlett Johansson)?
    Slate have done quite a few Watchmen articles over the past few days, this is definitely my favourite though - reimagining Watchmen as directed by Woody Allen, Judd Apatow, Quentin Tarantino, Tyler Perry, Sofia Coppola and Pedro Almodóvar.]]>

    What's Next? http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/03/16/whats-next/ Mon, 16 Mar 2009 20:24:09 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=319 series of articles from TIME looking at where the world's going - the entry on Africa has some good info on trade vs aid:
    In 2006, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, foreign investment in Africa reached $48 billion, overtaking foreign aid for the first time. That gap has only widened, reflecting a quadrupling of foreign investment since 2000... War is down. Democracy is up. Inflation and interest rates are in single digits. Terms of trade have improved. Crucially, said Nellor, "growth is taking off." The IMF puts Africa's average annual growth for 2004 to '08 at more than 6% — better than any developed economy — and predicts the continent will buck the global recessionary trend to grow nearly 3.3% this year.
    I think the Ecological Intelligence entry is probably the most important though:
    But ecological intelligence is ultimately about more than what we buy. It's also about our ability to accept that we live in an infinitely connected world with finite resources. Goleman highlights the Tibetan community of Sher, where for millenniums, villagers have survived harsh conditions by carefully conserving every resource available to them. The Tibetans think ecologically because they have no other choice. Neither do we. "We once had the luxury to ignore our impacts," says Goleman. "Not anymore."
    Also slightly scarily:
    [Coke] uses 5% of the world's total sugar crop
    That's something like 7 million tonnes of sugar. (via kottke)]]>

    Water http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/03/18/water/ Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:55:35 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=330 making an organic cotton t-shirt requires 10,000 litres of water, you can now get a better idea of how much water you really use each day with a graphic GOOD have published giving an idea of part of an average person's daily water footprint and how it can be reduced. The ones that leap out at me are:
    • A bottle of soft drink (half a litre) uses 165 litres of water in its production, as does a single egg
    • Tea requires a quarter of the water that coffee does
    • And beef weighs in at 15000 litres of water per kilo
    To put some of the information in context, Wikipedia's article on Water Footprints tells us that:
    The global average Water Footprint is 1240 m³ water/person/year. The Chinese average is 700 m³ water/person/year one of the smallest in the world and the United States's 2480 m³ water/person/year is the largest in the world...  The water footprint of the UK is 1695 m³ water/person/year.
    A cubic metre is equal to 1000 litres so the average person in the UK uses 1.7 million litres of water a year. The term Water Crisis refers to, "the status of the world’s water resources relative to human demand." And I think the fact that it's called the water crisis gives us an indication that we don't have fresh water in abundance. The entry lists some of the consequences of the lack of (and uneven distribution of) fresh water including the inadequate access to safe drinking water and water for sanitation and waste disposal, its effect on agricultural yields, the harm to biodiversity caused by overuse and pollution and warfare caused by scarcity of water, but for a scary statistic how about:
    At any given time, half of the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from waterborne diseases. According to the World Bank, 88 percent of all diseases are caused by unsafe drinking water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene.

From left to right we have:
    • Enceladus - named after one of the Gigantes, Enceladus has water ice on its surface and could have liquid water too which raises the possibility of it supporting life
    • Dione - is apparently named after an archaic Greek goddess/Titan who might be Aphrodite's mother (though I was fairly sure Aphrodite was born from Uranus's genitals and not much else), Dione also has surface ice and 'wispy terrain'
    • Titan - named for the Titans is the only body in the solar system (apart from Earth) that appears to have stable bodies of surface liquid (methane)
    • Mimas - named after another Gigante, Mimas kinda looks a bit like the Death Star

    The incursion of the plasma into our atmosphere causes rapid changes in the configuration of Earth's magnetic field which, in turn, induce currents in the long wires of the power grids. The grids were not built to handle this sort of direct current electricity. The greatest danger is at the step-up and step-down transformers used to convert power from its transport voltage to domestically useful voltage. The increased DC current creates strong magnetic fields that saturate a transformer's magnetic core. The result is runaway current in the transformer's copper wiring, which rapidly heats up and melts.
    Given that pretty much everything we do relies on electricity (water, food and heat are fairly important not to mention the world's financial markets, healthcare, communications, the Internet) the simultaneous destruction of transformers would leave us severaly impaired.
    According to the NAS [National Academy of Sciences] report, the impact of what it terms a "severe geomagnetic storm scenario" could be as high as $2 trillion [for the US alone]. And that's just the first year after the storm. The NAS puts the recovery time at four to 10 years.

    Mr P, an 80-year-old Polish émigré and former engineer, knew he had memory problems, but it was his wife who described it as a permanent sense of déjà vu. He refused to watch TV or read a newspaper, as he claimed to have seen everything before. When he went out walking he said the same birds sang in the same trees and the same cars drove past at the same time every day. His doctor said he should see a memory specialist, but Mr P refused. He was convinced that he had already been.
    Whilst it doesn't provide a definitive answer to what déjà vu is and why/how it happens it does have some interesting ideas, as well as quite an amusing coda:
    One anecdotal finding that came to light while working on this article is that people who think a lot about déjà vu are more prone to it. I had déjà vu about reading about déjà vu, and researchers have had déjà vu about having déjà vu...Just reading this article could give you déjà vu.

    Neil’s new book, Emergency, teaches you how to become Jason Bourne. Multiple passports, moving assets, lock-picking, escape and evasion, foraging, even how to cross borders without detection.
    Tim Ferriss has excerpts from the book, and reading through I think in all honesty I lack:
    1. The money
    2. The balls
    To actually move all my assets into limited liability companies, become a citizen of a tax haven and launder money, but the Urban Escape and Evasion course sounds pretty cool:
    In the last forty-eight hours, I'd learned to hotwire a car, pick locks, conceal my identity, and escape from handcuffs, flexi-cuffs, ducttape, rope, and nearly every other type of restraint.
    Though I doubt I'll ever require any of these skills outside of a stag do. (via kottke)]]>

    Bunnies & Burrows was the first role-playing game to allow for non-humanoid play. In addition, it was also the first role-playing game to have detailed martial arts rules (known as "Bun Fu") and the first attempt at a skill system. For its time, the game was considered "light years" ahead of the Original Dungeons & Dragons.
    As attractive as 'Bun Fu' sounds I can see why perhaps it didn't take off. World of Warrencraft anyone?]]>

    The true punster’s mind cycles through homophones in search of a quip the way small children delight in rhymes or experiment babblingly with language. Accordingly, the least intolerable puns are those that avoid the pun’s essential puerility. Richard Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, was a specialist. He could effortlessly execute the double pun: Noah’s Ark was made of gopher-wood, he would say, but Joan of Arc was maid of Orleans. Some Whately-isms are so complex that they nearly amount to honest jokes: “Why can a man never starve in the Great Desert? Because he can eat the sand which is there. But what brought the sandwiches there? Why, Noah sent Ham, and his descendants mustered and bred.”

    SU websites talk, part 1 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/04/01/su-websites-talk-part-1/ Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:53:27 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=429 Using your website as a tool to rationalise your organisation by focusing on the user (or: People are stupid) The Premise What is a Students’ Union? Or more importantly what is your Students’ Union? Your members? Your constitution? In the most succinct terms your Union is probably best described as one of those two, but if I asked you to show me your Union in all likelihood you would show me your Union building. Although they both exist physically neither your members as a group nor your constitution really work as something tangible you can think of when considering your Union so in most cases your Union building becomes a tangible anchor for your organisation. If everything you offered took place in your building then this wouldn’t necessarily be a problem but a lot of what you do as a Union isn’t tied to your building, and this can become a problem when your members may not see themselves as involved with your Union because the activity isn’t taking place with your walls. There’s also the (slightly worrying) fact that quite a lot of your students will never visit your building. Going back to the original question, “What is a/your Union?” The answer of course is many things, Advice and Welfare Services, Sports clubs, Societies, Staff-Student Liaison Committees, Campaigns, Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, Cafés, Volunteering, Jobs, the list goes on. And the one place they all come together is your website. While a football match no more takes place on your website than it does in your Union your Football Club will (or should) have a presence on your website. As the place where all these disparate arms of your organisation converge your website is the perfect place to rationalise your organisation and better explain what it is you actually do. This may sound obvious – it should sound obvious – but that doesn’t stop it from not actually being the case. Often more time is spent thinking about a poster for the back of a toilet door than is spent on writing an article for your website. Your website is your most visible asset and it should be the anchor for your organisation.]]> 429 2009-04-01 15:53:27 2009-04-01 15:53:27 open open su-websites-talk-part-1 publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1238617061 _edit_last 1 36 justin_wignall@hotmail.com http://www.somej.net 81.151.49.95 2009-04-01 20:14:01 2009-04-01 20:14:01 1 0 0 37 dan@danconnolly.co.uk http:// 86.138.185.128 2009-04-01 20:31:42 2009-04-01 20:31:42 1 0 1 Lego timeline http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/04/01/lego-timeline/ Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:16:08 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=432 Gizmodo have worked with Lego to produce a full timeline of Lego figures.

    The Blasphemous Comma Several editions: Part of Luke 23 reads "And there were also two other malefactors. [crucified with Jesus]" It should have read "And there were also two other, malefactors."
    As well as the Wicked Bible which manages to omit the 'not' from 'Thou shalt not commit adultery' and also (apparently) manages to replace 'greatness' with 'great arse' which the Lord hath shewed us along with his glory.]]>

    I hear the voice of rage and ruin http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/04/09/i-hear-the-voice-of-rage-and-ruin/ Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:46:39 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=473 last post included Good Omens which reminded me of something I read last night (I've just started reading Emergency). It said that 57% of Americans believe literally in the events described in the Book of Revelation and 20% of those believe it will happen in their lifetime. That's some pretty scary shit people believe is actually going to happen. Amongst other things, War, Famine, Pestilence and Death would ride forth, hail, fire and blood would fall on the Earth, a third of the oceans would turn to blood, and the Abyss would open unleashing a swarm of locusts commanded to pursue men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads (and when only 144,000 descendants of Jacob get the seal the chances of a free pass are significantly lower than those of successfully navigating an asteroid field). Luckily the locusts won't kill you, just make you feel like you've been stung by a scorpion for five months and you then have a one in three chance of being slain by an army of 200 million horsemen. If you make it through that then there are a couple of beasts, the seven last plagues (sores, death to the fish, rivers to blood, sunburn, darkness, rivers drying up and earthquakes/hailstones) followed by the Whore of Babylon. Ultimately it all kind of works out, there's a thousand years of rule by Jesus and his Saints before Satan escapes from the lake of fire to deceive the nations of the world, he gathers everyone around Jerusalem but then a fire of God comes down from heaven and consumes us all and Satan is cast into the lake of fire for good. Then everyone is resurrected and judged and there's a new Heaven and Earth and I guess as long as you've been good you're fine. It just seems like a curious idea to have, the notion of a pre-determined destruction (even if followed by a resurrection/renewal). I'd be interested to see how the idea of an End Time or Apocalypse would work in terms of the 'Religion as an Evolutionary Advantage' idea (Christianity not being the only belief system to have such an idea). Obviously the 'be good or you'll suffer eternal damnation' rule is handy for getting people to be nice to each other but we already have the idea that you're judged when you die, is there a greater advantage to thinking that you might get burnt/poisoned/stung/slain, the world will be consumed by fire, everyone gets judged again and there's a whole new world afterwards? It seems a little overkill (if you'll pardon the pun). To me the whole notion has overtones of either:
    • Telling a child if they don't do X they won't get Y but then they don't do X and they get Y anyway (or in this unprovable case they assume they will) so we have to then make up another round of punishment/reward but with higher stakes to see if it'll work this time (and I'm fairly sure it doesn't work with kids). Or,
    • The whole world is going to get fucked up but it's ok because we get a do-over - in the world's current state I'd see this especially in an environmental sense - so as long as I'm a fairly moral individual even though I contribute to the world's environmental ills as much as the next guy it's fine because the world will be consumed by fire/water and afterwards we get a new one
    It seems irrational that people can live in certainty and fear over something like this but not take any action over things like global warming, deforestation, overfishing or the water crisis. Maybe when the world's forests are consumed, our fish stocks are all gone, the sun scorches man and the rivers dry up we both get to say I told you so?]]>

    Higgs Boson http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/04/09/higgs-boson/ Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:51:59 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=479 "In the Event That You Have Accidentally Swallowed the Higgs Boson"
    6. If the Higgs boson begins creating mass in your esophagus or stomach before you reach a hospital, you will need to perform an immediate bosonectomy on yourself. Luckily, surgical knowledge is not necessary. Just choose from the array of probable outcomes that will manifest themselves upon your decision to perform surgery, and make the one most favourable to yourself into reality. Be sensible—do not wait for the outcome in which you successfully remove the boson and win the lottery and grow wings.

They mainly relate to space - Dark Matter, Dark Energy, the Universe's thermal equilibrium, life on Mars - though I think the one I find most interesting is the Placebo effect:
    Don't try this at home. Several times a day, for several days, you induce pain in someone. You control the pain with morphine until the final day of the experiment, when you replace the morphine with saline solution. Guess what? The saline takes the pain away. This is the placebo effect: somehow, sometimes, a whole lot of nothing can be very powerful. Except it's not quite nothing. When Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin in Italy carried out the above experiment, he added a final twist by adding naloxone, a drug that blocks the effects of morphine, to the saline. The shocking result? The pain-relieving power of saline solution disappeared.
    The Belfast homeopathy trials are interesting too, or at the very least the potential consequences are:
    If the results turn out to be real...we may have to rewrite physics and chemistry.

Whilst I'll obviously want to laud the Irish performance from what I read and saw the Welsh boys deserve a fair portion of the plaudits. Either way this tour definitely has a good feel about it - especially as we now have the prospect of an Irish 10-15 on the cards...]]> 758 2009-06-03 20:17:42 2009-06-03 19:17:42 open open lions-2 publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1244056696 _edit_last 1 Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines? http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/06/03/those-magnificent-men-in-their-flying-machines/ Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:32:05 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=764 ]]> 764 2009-06-03 20:32:05 2009-06-03 19:32:05 open open those-magnificent-men-in-their-flying-machines publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1244058634 _edit_last 1 PotW - 5/6/09 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/06/05/potw-5609/ Fri, 05 Jun 2009 09:22:37 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=714

    Batonomics http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/06/12/batonomics/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 08:00:02 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=809 Batman Villains and Cooperation: A Utility Analysis
    First, we have to make certain assumptions. Specifically, we need to assign probabilities of capturing Batman and figure out how much these probabilities increase due to the addition of a new cooperating villain. We also need to assign utility values for the Joker for each scenario. Let's start with utilities. For not killing Batman, we can obviously assign the Joker a utility of 0. For capturing Batman on his own, let's assign the Joker a utility of 10. For capturing Batman with the help of x other villains, the utility would be 10/x The last one is sort of tricky. This means that if the Joker cooperates with one other villain (say Two-Face) and together they manage to kill Batman, then the utility for each would be 5. In effect, this means that the villains "split" the utility of 10.
    University Economics would've been waaaay more fun if we'd been using Batman.]]>

    Delvoye started creating tattoos on pig skins from slaughterhouses and then began working on live pigs bred in a farm studio complex in China, using images such as the Louis Vuitton design and Walt Disney characters.

    Headers http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/06/13/headers/ Sat, 13 Jun 2009 19:35:51 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=837 From my work blog: I'm currently toying with how big or small to make the header bar (and at the risk of John coming back at me with own words regarding header size, the fold and scrolling here goes...) My current predicament is the Header Bar, specifically how big it should be and what it should contain. In the current skin something that was criticised was the chunky header - my defence was twofold: firstly it looked good even if it was a little impractical, and secondly, so many of our pages lacked content that actually the more I could eat into the content area the better the limited content would look. The new skin is going to be opening up a vast content area what with the admin column biting the dust and the header shrinking, which brings me back to the problem at hand: how small should it be? In the screenshot above you can see that it's tiny, it's just two lines (discounting the toolbar at the top) - this is of course because it hasn't been styled - but I do like how it brings content to the fore. As a minimum I'll need to put the SU logo in there but how big should it be? What amount of pixel space does it need? And what about the ad banner? As a source of revenue it's important so that sets our header height to at least 70px but then what if the banner went elsewhere? The options available seem to be:
    • Putting the ad above the left hand content area (so the top of the RH content area is level with the top of the ad) - this keeps the header small and means that some of the pixel height it occupies is not wasted for the RHC
    • putting a double ad banner between the content area and the navigation
    • Tucking it above or below the navigation with the SU logo being the first navigation link as an extra large button
    • Having a similar format to the current one but with the logo (and overall header height) reduced
    I think ultimately it doesn't make a difference - the first two still don't determine whether how big the logo should be and if it's at least the height of the banner these alternate locations ultimately waste space so I think the only option is really the last one (which is how it was in my initial mockup - which I should really post here!). I do like the idea of having the Warwick SU navigation tab as the logo though...]]>

    Seven worlds will collide, whenever I am by your side... http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/06/15/seven-worlds-will-collide-whenever-i-am-by-your-side/ Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:50:46 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=852 this story's old news by now I'm just listening to last week's Mike Harding show on BBC iPlayer and it's the last snippet of news before the show starts and as a story it really annoys me.
    Astronomers calculate there is a tiny chance that Mars or Venus could collide with Earth - though it would not happen for at least a billion years.
    Mars or Venus could collide with Earth. At its closest Venus is 41 million km from Earth, Mars about 56 million. Things are already looking a little suspect.
    Writing in the journal Nature, a team led by Jacques Laskar shows there is also a chance Mercury could strike Venus and merge into a larger planet. Professor Laskar of the Paris Observatory and his colleagues also report that Mars might experience a close encounter with Jupiter - whose massive gravity could hurl the Red Planet out of our Solar System.
    Mercury is something like 50 million km from Venus on average (Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of any planet so it's hard to say) and Mars is something like 550 million km from Jupiter. And this story is saying that one or more of these planets may at some point billions of years in the future collide with an adjacent planet. But it could go either way. As in Mars's orbit could decay bringing it 50 million km closer or it could end up going about 500 million the other way. Wow. Glad to know we're on this one.
    The researchers carried out more than 2,500 simulations. They found that in some, Mars and Venus collided with the Earth
    And I think we can assume that there are a few more than just these 2,500 outcomes. So what we've learnt is that in a billion years the orbits of the planets within our Solar System will have changed and as such there's a very small chance that some of them may collide and/or get caught in each others gravity. The part that annoys me most is that this became a national news story - not that science research shouldn't be news, it should, I'm just not sure something that's not especially likely to happen and even if it does it won't be for at least a billion years really counts. In addition, I think if you'd've asked me to predict what was going to happen to the orbits of our planets in a billion years time I reckon I probably would've come up with outcomes along similar lines. I haven't read the full article in Nature but I hope it has a bit more to it than was reported on. ]]>

    "The team that wins is the better team," he said. "You do what you have to do to win. "The trophy goes to the team that wins. Ian McGeechan said before the game you earn respect by winning. "Sure, people have been patting us on the backs for our performances but for some guys here it was the first win on the southern hemisphere, and that's important."
    And you'd have to say however well we played in the first two tests, ultimately South Africa showed why they were World Champions and they took their chances when they got them. I think the talk about whether or not the Lion is an outdated concept and whether or not they can really compete was convincingly trashed this tour - even if we hadn't won the third test I think running the World Champions to within 5 points and then 3 points with a team that's only been playing together for 5 weeks shows that the Lions are a competitive team and though we're obviously in it to win it those two games were a far cry from the 'blackwash' of four years ago, this was a team producing some truly exceptional rugby. For me the standout players of the tour for the Lions were Jamie Roberts, Drico, Rob Kearney, Tommy Bowe, Jamie Heaslip and Mike Phillips. I also thought Shaw, Wallace, M Williams, Jones and Fitzgerald all had good tours. I would have loved to have seen Stephen Ferris take on the Boks, hopefully he'll only improve between now and 2013. For the Boks obviously Smit and du Preez were great and i've been a fan of both Spies and Francois Steyn for a while but the player I'm most looking forward to seeing in the Tri-nations is probably Heinrich Brüssow, and with Burger out it looks like he'll be getting a chance to lay claim to the 6 jersey. I also like how in this photo it looks quite a lot like POC is about to kiss Geech. lions]]>

    SHOTGUN made from iron bedposts; charge made of pieces of lead from curtain tape and match-heads, to be ignited by AA batteries and a broken light bulb. On May 21, 1984 two inmates of a prison in Celle, Germany, took a jailer as a hostage, showed off their fire power by letting go at a pane of bullet-proof glass, and escaped by car.
    cross
    DAGGER disguised as a wooden crucifix; found in an inmate’s cell in Wolfenbüttel prison, Germany, sometime around 1994; intended for use in an escape or as a general weapon. At that time a lot of crucifixes were fashioned in prison woodshops until jailers finally dug their true purpose.
    tattoo
    TATTOOING NEEDLE made from a toothbrush handle, a ball pen and an electric motor; confiscated in ‘Santa Fu’ prison in Hamburg, Germany.Tattooing instruments are a popular and common source of income among inmates but are banned as ‘illegal objects’ due to the danger of infection (Aids, Hepatitis, etc.).

According to local residents, witch doctors use the organs and bones in concoctions to divine for diamonds in the soil, while fishermen have been known to weave albino hair into their nets hoping for a big catch on Lake Victoria. More than 50 albinos have been killed in Tanzania and neighboring Burundi in the past year... One of three stories from the Big Picture today (along with an Israeli woman marrying in Syria who can now never to return to Israel and the Bajau, a seafaring nomadic people living in Malaysia), it's quite harrowing and includes an image of human body parts. If you'd like to read more France 24 has an article from last year about the trade and the Wikipedia article on persecution of albinism has some more links. ]]> 1273 2009-07-27 20:13:20 2009-07-27 19:13:20 open open albinism-in-tanzania publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1248722001 _edit_last 1 Ode to Generali(s/z)ation http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/07/27/ode-to-generaliszation/ Mon, 27 Jul 2009 19:54:58 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1276 A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. -Robert A. Heinlein I reckon I'd do alright at most of those. Josh Kaufman's list of 12 core human skills also sound sensible. It would be an interesting (if pointless) exercise to see (in a Sims-esque fashion) if you could only pick three of the twelve to be proficient in which you would pick? Would you go for three all related to communication or problem-solving or would you spread your wealth around a little? Which I guess is sort of going back to the point of the article, be awesome at one thing or very good at a few (even if this way removes any sort of time investment in order to develop the skills or indeed any uncertainty about whether you'll be able to develop them to an adequate level). I fear I may need to crack out KOTOR purely to sate the character creation craving this has brought on.

    The Iga Ueno Ninja Festival is the annual five-week ninja-themed festival in the Japanese city of Iga (in the former province of Iga), from April 1 to May 6.

    Death Star An unshielded exhaust port leading directly to the central reactor? Really? And when you rebuild it, your solution to this problem is four paths into the central core so large that you can literally fly a spaceship through them? Brilliant. Note to the Emperor: Someone on your Death Star design staff is in the pay of Rebel forces. Oh, right, you can't get the memo because someone threw you down a huge exposed shaft in your Death Star throne room.

    An ancient vampire language from the Blade movies. The most noticeable aspect of this language are the glyphs, symbols tattooed on grunts to show their allegiance and drawn in UV ink defining the boundaries of various vampires’ territories. There’s even a vampire holy book written in the language, the Book of Erebus, featured in the first movie.
    Do I believe the Book of Erebus was a book actually written in Vampirese? Or were they just sheets of parchment covered in glyphs suspended between glass to:
    1. Look cool
    2. Have vampires kicked through them

    New survey work suggests that fewer than 1,200 Mexican axolotls remain in its last stronghold, the Xochimilco area of central Mexico.
    Just in case you weren't sure whether salamanders actually rock:

    Axolotl look freakin awesome

    (and retain this larval appearance throughout their lives) axolotl

    They're pretty shit-hot at regeneration[1]:

    After amputation, the epidermis migrates to cover the stump in less than 12 hours, forming a structure called the apical epidermal cap...Motor neurons, muscle, and blood vessels grow with the regenerated limb, and reestablish the connections that were present prior to amputation. The time that this entire process takes varies according to the age of the animal, ranging from about a month to around three months in the adult and then the limb becomes fully functional.

    Ōsanshōuo or Japanese Giant Salamander are frickin huge

    And are pretty much living fossils. The Chinese Giant Salamander is even bigger but unfortunately both are critically endangered due to habitat loss, over-collection, and in the acse of the Chinese Giant Salamander it's used in traditional Chinese medicine and considered something of a delicacy.

    Finally...

    • As any good medieval bestiary will tell you Salamanders are impervious to flame, even Aristotle believed that the salamander, 'not only walks through the fire, but puts it out in doing so.' (not actually true)
    • And as a result of the misconception, when asbestos was discovered it was thought to be the wool of the salamander - Pope Alexander III had a tunic made from it (as did Prester John, but he's made up)
    [1] The wikipedia entry is worth reading just for the bit about children regrowing fingertips which reminds me of the man who regrew his finger using magic powder]]>

    • Piper = Paedo
    • Piper = Death - Children died of disease/natural disaster
    • Piper = Recruiter - Children leave on crusade/pilgrimage and never returned
    • Children = Emigrants
    While I can see the plausibility/likelihood of the emigration hypothesis I don't quite see how it fits with the rats? In that sense disease fits best: a town plagued by diseased rats, the rats either die but not before the weaker members of the town's population die from it or in poisoning the rats the children are also accidentally poisoned. The Piper represents Death taking away the rats, but then also the children - perceived punishment for reneging on a bargain with who/whatever. Or perhaps it's just a story - if anything even happened it happened several hundred years ago so I guess we'll never know. Things like this make me wonder about how well our history of the present will survive in the future - every generation must see its advances in recording history as so far ahead of their predecessors but with our advances in technology we're rendering storage media obsolete within years. I suppose the mighty Interweb/cloud computing mean that everything's out there rather than rotting in dusty tomes or sitting locked away on unreadable discs but there's a distinct Library of Babel factor to it. Perhaps the difficulties facing historians of the distant future will be an excess of information rather than a scarcity of it.]]>

    It could still fall on its face but it would be awesome to have Argentina in regular competition, even if the travel is going to be a bitch. In other news: Family Guy double to woo voters. As awesome as I think it is that this guy is going to have Peter Griffin on his election posters I really think he should watch some Family Guy first. Turns out trying to tap into popular culture for political gain doesn't always work...]]>

I suppose the answer is that if you're in a situation where you can't even apply most of these tips then there's something fundamentally wrong with the system. Or perhaps I just need to get better at Number 10:

You see what you've drawn doesn't really match what I've written at all. Also where you've put the pictures isn't working too well with my page count (btw I've changed the page size we're using now) I think we're either going to have to take a picture out or add more pages in which case we'll need more pictures. We've already spent quite a lot of time on this already and we need to go to print so if you can get that sorted by this afternoon that would be ideal. Also I forgot to mention it before but are we ok to have this as a printed banner, series of flyers, poster and flash game by close of play tomorrow?

Guided by the spirits, Derek will talk to the audience, bringing them messages from the spirit world, reading keepsakes and family heirlooms as well as communicating with pets from the audience... What the fuck? Just saw the trail for this after Futurama and all I can think is, "What the fuck?" The clip they have on the Sky site is as good:
    "He said it had been on display and it had been in the cupboard, it'd been hidden away."
    Sorry? Have I missed other places you tend to put Christmas decorations? What was he going to say? "I feel this item has baked at 170 degrees for several hours every 3rd of June and then attached to your bicycle wheel as a makeshift clacker." Where the fuck else is going to be? Even if it's only one of them he's 50% right because when the two options are in sight and out of sight there aren't any other possibilities. What's that Derek? She just told you that she was going to get it out this Christmas but didn't? And what's that you're getting? The decoration is telling you it was going to be placed on the tree this Christmas but wasn't? Are you sure it's the decoration telling you that and it wasn't her who just told you that?

I aspire to be an intellectual polygamist. And I deliberately use that metaphor to provoke with its sexual allusion and to point out the real difference to me between polygamy and promiscuity. To me, promiscuity is a way of flitting around. Polygamy, serious polygamy, is where you have various marriages and each of them is important. And in the ideal polygamy I suspect there’s no number one wife and no number six wife. You have a deep connection with each person.

    The Wolpertinger (Crisensus bavaricus) (also called "Wolperdinger", "Poontinger" or "Woiperdinger") is a fictional animal said to inhabit the alpine forests of Bavaria in Germany. It has a body comprised from various animal parts — generally wings, antlers, and fangs, all attached to the body of a small mammal. The most widespread description is that of a horned rabbit or a horned squirrel.

    While extraterrestrial civilizations may be rare, there is something that is seemingly rarer still: A girlfriend. For me. What might the approach employed in the estimation of the number of alien civilizations tell us about the number of potential girlfriends for me? A somewhat less scientific question, I admit, but one of substantial personal importance.

    All of this is pointless in the end. Coca-Cola still derives some of its flavor from the coca plant; the same place that cocaine comes from. Due to the obvious drug related issues that would arise from importing lots of coca plant into America legally, only one company has government permission to do it. That company is Coca-Cola. So even if someone broke into the bank and managed to take the formula, they would never be able to produce an exact Coke rip-off. And if another company did somehow get permission to import coca, hell, there is at least one better way to make money with it.
    The location of Cromwell's head
    Everyone knows that if they should ever let the location slip, somebody's going to be rubbing that skull in dog poop within the hour. Or at least posing it in some kind of ridiculous hat.
    And craziest of all the Farmer's Almanac weather predicting formula developed in 1792:
    As crazy as it seems, they keep it secret for good reason. The average seven to 14 day weather report, using up to the minute information and state of the art Doppler radar systems, is often no more accurate than what you, the Cracked reader, could predict. This 200-year-old formula has an 80 percent accuracy rate even though predictions are made 2 YEARS IN ADVANCE. How do we know that? The Almanac told us. How do we know they're right? We just told you. They're accurate 80 percent of the time.

    Imagine your neighbor has a dog that regularly escapes her yard. One day you see the dog escape and return it to her. She thanks you by giving you a piece of delicious home-made apple pie. This happens several days in a row. Then one day when you return the dog, there's no pie, no thanks, and no explanation. Would you return the dog the next time it escapes?

I'm going to go for some cider and perhaps a berry wine though I need to go a-foraging to see what I can turn up.

    Laloo was born in Oudh, India as the second of four siblings in 1874. He was accompanied into this world by his parasitic twin brother who was little more than a headless mass of limbs attached to his breastbone. His advertisements often billed him as the ‘Handsome, Healthy, Happy Hindoo’ – as ‘exotic’ acts and persons were all the rage in America at that time. Also, in a bit of common showmanship, he would often dress his brother as a girl and advertise the twin as his sister. That is, until that erection issue started to throw a wrench into the act.

The name comes from the Greek, pan = all, ther = beast/animal (because they can hunt pretty much what they like!) The ther root also gives us the words:
    • Theropod (beast-foot) - a group of bipedal dinosaurs including most of the nasty/cool ones in Jurassic Park
    • Therianthropy (part-man, part beast) - the most well-known example we have is Lycanthropy (Werewolves) but as a term it also includes things like animal-headed Gods, Centaurs and animal spirit guides
    • and most curiously Treacle, which comes to us via French and Latin from the Greek word Theriac (pertaining to venomous beasts) and means antidote, a now obselete definition of treacle

    The particular setup for this was sound activated. The lens was destroyed (worth it of course) but the camera survived this one despite being severed from its ratchet straps and thrown to the ground, and the sound device used for this one disconnected from the camera and thrown about 200 feet backwards into the pad perimeter fence (still worked!). All settings are preset manually. No one is allowed closer than several miles from a launch.

    Proof that God loves dinosaurs, when South America is superimposed over Africa, it forms a Tyrannosaurus Rex head. Now don't take this lightly -- several people died getting this information out, as the Catholic Church has been trying to keep this from us for centuries. Suck it, Dan Brown, I own you!

Criticisms are levelled at the need to rotate the table in order to read all the elements but I think there are easy solutions to that. As a way of showing element groupings and weights I think it's at least as good as Mendeleev's table if not better.

How?* The Omphalos Hypothesis is the idea that God created the world with all its signs of age and as such any evidence for the (presumed) age of the Earth/Universe cannot be considered reliable. Which leads to the idea that although the original hypothesis proposes that in Genesis God created the trees with their rings even though they'd never grown etc., creation could technically have happened anytime:
    Though Gosse's original Omphalos hypothesis specifies a popular creation story, others have proposed that the idea does not preclude creation as recently as five minutes ago, including memories of times before this created in situ. This idea is sometimes called "Last Thursdayism" by its opponents, as in "the world might as well have been created last Thursday." The concept is both unverifiable and unfalsifiable through any conceivable scientific method...
    Which if you believe such things means that I may never have written this post, I was just created with the memory of doing it. Similarly you may never have read this post, you were just created with the memory of it... *The bodies didn't have navels - as neither Adam nor Eve were carried in a uterus they wouldn't have had umbilical cords, though in art Adam & Eve are generally depicted with navels as apparently it looks a bit weird otherwise. ]]>

I guess I'll have to go and catch up on my Saws (though given that they already made his face into a mask and his hand into a glove I'm a little worried as to which of Jigsaw's bodyparts they'll be using for the next poster).]]> 1865 2009-10-23 21:09:15 2009-10-23 20:09:15 open open and-the-autumn-moon-is-bright publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1256328829 _edit_last 1 368 cs@yahoo.co.uk 86.20.31.192 2009-10-23 22:44:23 2009-10-23 21:44:23 1 0 0 Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper? http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/10/24/arent-you-a-little-short-for-a-stormtrooper/ Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:48:07 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1869 I think I've mentioned Star Wars Uncut before (probably in an old POTW).

    The Mannen-dake (”10,000-year bamboo”) is a bamboo-like monster that feeds on the souls of lost travelers camping in the woods.
    Read on to find out more about the Mannen-dake, as well as:
    • the Kuro-kamikiri (Black Hair Cutter - it has the black hair, I don't believe it has a preference as to the colour it cuts)
    • the Makura-gaeshi (Pillow Mover - rather worryingly the fact that it steals souls seems to be glossed over with greater focus put on its pranksome pillow-moving)
    • the Doro-ta-bō (Muddy Rice Field Man)
    • the Hyōsube
    • the Yanagi-baba (Willow Witch - fairly easy going compared to the rest)
    • the Fukuro-sage (a type of Tanuki, complete with prominent scrotum - something they failed to include in Super Mario)
    • Kasha (possible the rock-hardest of the bunch)
    • Bisha-ga-tsuku (named for it's slusky snow sound - snow bunnies watch out)
    • and finally the would-be-cute-were-it-not-for-its-big-sharp-teeth, octopus-fearing Kijimunaa - hard wired for pranks

With a private boat (cont.) http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/03/with-a-private-boat-cont/ Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:40:40 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1938 boat1_t I can't actually remember which way round the inspiration worked but the idea was to essentially combine these two images: boat_ww wave (By Maurice Sendak and Katsushika Hokusai respectively) More specifically the idea was to render the first in the style of the second, or insert the characters of the first into the second. My original intention was also to recreate the scene in an ink & wash style but in the end I decided I wouldn't be able to get the fine detail and the homage itself would be lost so I went for manipulating the Hokusai image rather than recreating it. The main difference between my original sketch and the final (lined paper and stain aside) is the positioning of Max and the Wild Thing. Originally I'd pictured Max in the nearest boat (which I'd incorrectly remembered as breaking through the near wave) with the Wild Thing emerging from between the rear wave but in the end I opted to switch them. Firstly to echo Sendak's original spread (Wild Thing left; Max right) and I also didn't want the sail on Max's boat obscuring any of the waves themselves (though i didn't mind it obscuring Mt Fuji as I like that it stops this image being a view of Mt Fuji). So with the two nearer boats shopped out and Max's mast, sail and self added in I was just left with the Wild Thing. The first attempt was pretty awful, I was trying to construct it from various flat elements and then stealing bits of texture from the original (as I had with the sail and Max) but it looked too out of place. Then the obvious hit me: drop in a sea creature/dragon from an existing japanese woodblock. A bit of scouting around found this little gem: basket So with a little help from Utagawa Kuniyoshi and some recolouring so the dragon isn't lost in the wave we have our final picture: ww_h About which I am quite chuffed.]]> 1938 2009-11-03 13:40:40 2009-11-03 12:40:40 open open with-a-private-boat-cont publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1257259592 _edit_last 1 406 justin_wignall@hotmail.com http://www.somej.net 86.143.72.164 2009-11-03 16:25:03 2009-11-03 15:25:03 1 0 0 466 ruthspink@hotmail.com 93.96.214.252 2009-11-08 11:17:50 2009-11-08 10:17:50 1 0 0 470 johnnyboyabell@hotmail.com 137.205.210.230 2009-11-09 10:57:38 2009-11-09 09:57:38 1 0 0 kittens http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/08/molly-milly/kittens/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:12:22 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kittens.jpg 1959 2009-11-08 22:12:22 2009-11-08 21:12:22 open open kittens inherit 1958 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/kittens.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/11/kittens.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"450";s:6:"height";s:3:"320";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:23:"height='91' width='128'";s:4:"file";s:19:"2009/11/kittens.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:1:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:19:"kittens-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Molly & Milly http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/08/molly-milly/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:13:35 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1958 Molly's the sleeping one and Milly's the one looking at the camera.]]> 1958 2009-11-08 22:13:35 2009-11-08 21:13:35 open open molly-milly publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1257714816 _edit_last 1 thesaurus http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/09/want-3/thesaurus/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:07:47 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thesaurus.jpg 1962 2009-11-09 19:07:47 2009-11-09 18:07:47 open open thesaurus inherit 1961 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/thesaurus.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/11/thesaurus.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"240";s:6:"height";s:3:"240";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='96'";s:4:"file";s:21:"2009/11/thesaurus.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:1:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:21:"thesaurus-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Want http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/09/want-3/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:13:29 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=1961 thesaurus

With Luke Fitzgerald out for a while Keith Earls is on the wing, hopefully his Summer with the Lions will act as a nice bit of prep for the Springboks even if his tour was a bit hit and miss and we've got the back row that should've been in the Lions tests so this game should be a good 'un.

HAL stands for Hybrid Assisted Limb and is designed to help the disabled and elderly (the suit allows you to lift 5 times the weight you'd usually be able to) and also as an aid for disaster rescue. All cool so far but it's with the military applications that things start to get scary. I remember reading something about crash safety that said that the human body isn't designed to hit something faster than we can run so a mechanical suit that can increase strength, speed and endurance is definitely starting to ring alarm bells. People are gonna get fucked up! What happens when things get to the point where you could get disabled in combat but just carry on? Don't get me wrong, power armour is awesome, but can you think of one fiction in which power armour occurs and the world(/galaxy/universe) is not just a bit fucked up? Perpetual War? Post Apocalyptic Wasteland? Staight-to-video sequels? Also just for reference: The wireless network in James Cameron's offices being called Skynet = cool. Naming your robotic exoskeleton company Cyberdyne = bad.]]> 2054 2009-11-28 11:17:12 2009-11-28 10:17:12 open open hal-5 publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1259405091 _edit_last 1 1582 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2010/04/09/the-holocron/ 213.165.76.155 2010-04-09 21:07:54 2010-04-09 20:07:54 1 pingback 0 0 3246 oprprieu@lulrgxiv.com http://2q1lqde.tk/a728vi.html 213.5.71.158 2010-10-21 22:09:46 2010-10-21 21:09:46 Glory morning seed tripping, [url="http://vxu1ws2.tk/e597se.php"]Glory morning seed tripping[/url], 622, Topics with nature vs nurture, [url="http://oy0tcss.tk/s471fk.php"]Topics with nature vs nurture[/url], 340239, Us navy and ships, [url="http://761enmo.tk/a608hd.php"]Us navy and ships[/url], %-DD, 2004 hurricane season, [url="http://kh1y0cq.tk/l312ik.php"]2004 hurricane season[/url], 8138, Country hearth inn and suites, [url="http://43gska0.tk/t869ln.php"]Country hearth inn and suites[/url], :OOO, Spring break breast, [url="http://yr66pzv.tk/d788ep.php"]Spring break breast[/url], 2590, Goldie lookin chain 21 ounces, [url="http://rpmhawn.tk/j924sh.php"]Goldie lookin chain 21 ounces[/url], >:-((, Valentine wedding collections, [url="http://cwtx57q.tk/a434um.php"]Valentine wedding collections[/url], =-DDD, Christmas cactus dropping leaves, [url="http://35un7aa.tk/d948uc.php"]Christmas cactus dropping leaves[/url], >:-]], Metal residential awnings, [url="http://nxly3o3.tk/g653ik.php"]Metal residential awnings[/url], 185818,]]> spam 0 0 3247 vpiyllgv@tmpggmxs.com http://58846.97bdkic.tk/ 213.5.71.158 2010-10-21 22:57:31 2010-10-21 21:57:31 Poastal worker, [url="http://35212.bwp0nlh.tk/"]Poastal worker[/url], kyhgaz, Tectron hair trimmers, [url="http://86546.orbeov2.tk/"]Tectron hair trimmers[/url], 02006, Motorcycle truing stands, [url="http://41891.8y8kh91.tk/"]Motorcycle truing stands[/url], zgmht, Cyndi lauper broadway bares, [url="http://40425.k3abrdv.tk/"]Cyndi lauper broadway bares[/url], =DDD, Software web analytics, [url="http://38497.97bdkic.tk/"]Software web analytics[/url], 362987, L ecrin des saveurs, [url="http://40471.lrjdmts.tk/"]L ecrin des saveurs[/url], 459, The marriage of figaro overture, [url="http://09364.e6po0w1.tk/"]The marriage of figaro overture[/url], ddl, Brokaw nbc news nightly tom, [url="http://88178.35rdgu7.tk/"]Brokaw nbc news nightly tom[/url], ype, Richmond ky coccer, [url="http://82225.nu8dpg2.tk/"]Richmond ky coccer[/url], rdkr, Kingdom hearts 2 ultima weapon, [url="http://69618.wt9lnj8.tk/"]Kingdom hearts 2 ultima weapon[/url], :-((,]]> 0 0 0 Avatar http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/28/avatar/ Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:50:40 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2061 I know there's been a lot of backlash about it looking like a computer game or cartoon but I'm not sure I mind - Phantom Menace sucked because it took an existing universe and CGIed it with disastrous consequences but this isn't ruining any cherished childhood memories and there'd be no other way to achieve the desired spectacle other than CGI really (that said, I would love someone to make a stop-motion sci-fi monster flick nowadays).]]> 2061 2009-11-28 11:50:40 2009-11-28 10:50:40 open open avatar publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1259405441 _edit_last 1 Undefeated http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/28/undefeated/ Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:50:17 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2063 one more thing to win this year.]]> 2063 2009-11-28 18:50:17 2009-11-28 17:50:17 open open undefeated publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1259430619 _edit_last 1 Foggy Mountain Breakdown http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/28/foggy-mountain-breakdown/ Sat, 28 Nov 2009 18:59:52 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2065 ]]> 2065 2009-11-28 19:59:52 2009-11-28 18:59:52 open open foggy-mountain-breakdown publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1259434794 _edit_last 1 poe http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/30/hey-oscar-wilde/poe/ Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:05:11 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/poe.jpg 2068 2009-11-30 12:05:11 2009-11-30 11:05:11 open open poe inherit 2067 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/poe.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/11/poe.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"450";s:6:"height";s:3:"660";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='65'";s:4:"file";s:15:"2009/11/poe.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:15:"poe-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:15:"poe-306x449.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"306";s:6:"height";s:3:"449";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} flies http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/30/hey-oscar-wilde/flies/ Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:05:43 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/flies.jpg 2069 2009-11-30 12:05:43 2009-11-30 11:05:43 open open flies inherit 2067 0 attachment http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/flies.jpg _wp_attached_file 2009/11/flies.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:6:{s:5:"width";s:3:"450";s:6:"height";s:3:"649";s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='66'";s:4:"file";s:17:"2009/11/flies.jpg";s:5:"sizes";a:2:{s:9:"thumbnail";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:17:"flies-150x150.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"150";s:6:"height";s:3:"150";}s:6:"medium";a:3:{s:4:"file";s:17:"flies-312x450.jpg";s:5:"width";s:3:"312";s:6:"height";s:3:"450";}}s:10:"image_meta";a:10:{s:8:"aperture";s:1:"0";s:6:"credit";s:0:"";s:6:"camera";s:0:"";s:7:"caption";s:0:"";s:17:"created_timestamp";s:1:"0";s:9:"copyright";s:0:"";s:12:"focal_length";s:1:"0";s:3:"iso";s:1:"0";s:13:"shutter_speed";s:1:"0";s:5:"title";s:0:"";}} Hey Oscar Wilde! http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2009/11/30/hey-oscar-wilde/ Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:07:23 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2067 Hey Oscar Wilde!

I reckon I could submit one or two, though perhaps nothing quite as great as this:
    I’m a freelance illustrator and I was hired to do a couple of illustrations for a story about people who are asexual (they do relationships, but not IT).  I sent off my sketches to the art director and received an email back that wrote (and I quote, “These look great, but could you possibly add some whimsical looking dildos?”
    Whimsical looking dildos? I think that's actually the sort of ridiculous request I'd probably welcome - it's got to beat the standard fare. Of which there are also great examples:
    ...what’s up with the little black marks in the corners? I don’t get it. Why did you add them to the design? Please remove them and send me another proof.
    Been there.
    He: I’ve a website that I want to get up asap: [x].com is the domain name. Just a home page and an about page. Very classy. I: Any design ideas/direction on this new site? He: Just classy. It’s a talent agency that will represent me and just a few other people. There should be a contact link, and just an about page. I know, you don’t have any pictures. I don’t think there will be any. (for examples of “classy” he sends me links to three other talent agencies - all varying wildly from each other in design and color scheme) I: Is there a logo? He: Not for [x].com I: Any info at all beyond the name? He: Perhaps a phone number, an address, and an e-mail contact.
    This one's great because it usually starts here and quickly escalates into a complete site. But with no further information than the above. And of course the classic favourite colour situation:
    I was designing a logo for a rather corporate, conservative company. Keeping that in mind, I kept things very safe and chose a “secure” deep blue which reflected the spirit of their financial business. I was told that the colour was not right. So I asked what they had in mind. I was informed that they wanted pink instead. After asking why they wanted to change to pink, reply was: “Because it is my favourite colour!”
    But I can safely say this has yet to happen to me:
    Everything went smoothly up until the end he asked if I could somehow superimpose an image of a vagina onto the mailer..

    Washizu's famous death scene, in which his own archers turn upon him and fill his body with arrows, was in fact performed with real arrows, a choice made to help Mifune produce realistic facial expressions of fear. The arrows seen to impact the wooden walls were not superimposed or faked by special effects, but instead shot by choreographed archers. During filming, Mifune waved his arms, ostensibly because his character was trying to brush away the arrows embedded in the planks; this indicated to the archers the direction in which Mifune wanted to move.

Of these I've only actually played GTA3 (though I've played Halo 3 once if that counts for anything?) So I've decided to do my own little Games of the Decade, it's probably going to be quite PC-centric but in my eyes that's no bad thing. Just to set a few ground rules before we start, I'm classing the decade as 2000 to 2009 - for anyone who feels like chiming in with the whole, "The 'decade' should be from '01 - '10 because there wasn't a year 0 so you should be doing this next blah blah..." Whilst that does make sense it would also mean that 1930 was in The 20s and so on, which would just be weird. So without further ado... Max Payne The unashamed lovechild of John Woo and the Matrix with the best facial expression a gaming protagonist has ever had. I'd be almost scared to play it again for fear of how it may have aged but for such a short game it's had a lasting impression - one of my few memories of first year. Medieval: Total War This was a difficult one, it could so easily have been Medieval II but I think I have to go for the first one. My first experience of Total War was watching a flatmate play Shogun and from then on I was hooked. Rome didn't do much for me, not helped by my use of an inadequately specced machine no doubt, but there was something about a game that was equal parts Risk, Warhammer and Resource Management (yes ladies, I am single) that really chimed with me. I think Rome acted as a nice buffer between Medieval I and II meaning that by the time the second came along I was happier with the new mechanic. Given the choice right now I would probably play the second over the first but for my game of the decade has to be the first for kick-starting a slew of games (ok, 2) I adore and making, in my eyes at least, great leaps from Shogun. I still think Medieval Europe is the best theatre for the Total War games, this is probably in part due to my Eurocentric historical education but you're always going to enjoy what you can relate to and none of the more recent games have quite captured the fun you could have with a stack of heavy cavalry heading off an a merry chevauchée through France. Braid A very late entry as I only played it yesterday but I had to have a puzzle game in here and I think this might be it (sorry Portal!). If you haven't played it go and buy it on Steam now (£1.74), it takes puzzle platformers and adds a variety of nifty game mechanics to give the grey matter a bit of a workout. It can be frustrating at times but there's (mostly) no punishment for messing up as you can simply reverse time and try again. It even has layers of allegory. Honourable Mentions:
    • Portal - If I'd've written this a week ago Portal would've been in there, it's everything you'd expect from Valve - very funny and very very clever.
    • Peggle - I think like a lot of Peggle players my first introduction was to Peggle Extreme in the Orange Box and if you don't want to play a game featuring a unicorn packing twin miniguns then you do not want to live my friend.
    Team Fortress 2 My first experience of online multiplayer gaming - I'll be honest, the first few times I was crapping myself, just waiting to get my ass handed to me, but you can't go too far wrong starting out as a Soldier or Medic until you learn the ropes and you'll be pwning n00bs before you know it (or like me still generally getting your ass handed to you but enjoying it all the same). I think TF2 is my definitive game of the decade, mainly because I still play it. It was released 2 years ago around the same time as Crysis and Bioshock and in the meantime I've bought FC2 and Empire: Total War but I dread to think how long it is since I've touched any of them. At its heart the game is fairly simple but it's the intransitive balance between the classes that make it work so well. As the game's evolved various upgrades and unlocks have become available, followed shortly after by cries of classes being overpowered or nerfed but ultimately everything kinda works out and it's the constant (and free) updating that's kept, what is a simple, though cleverly executed, premise fresh. Honourable Mentions:
    • Battlefield 2 - now I've popped my online cherry this is a game i need to revisit.
    • Left 4 Dead - I was briefly the owner of this on my XBox and it was pretty much all I played but TF2 pips it for being a game I've always returned to, I do now have L4D2 for PC which I have a feeling will be dominating the next few years of my gaming life
    <insert RPG here> And so we come to the gaping hole. I'm not sure I can definitively pick an RPG. I don't dabble in the online variety which thankfully rules out those but I'm still left with Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3. Bioware vs Bethesda, 1st vs 3rd person, sci-fi vs fantasy, being a freakin Jedi - there are many factors to consider. I think, in a move that's surprising even me, I'm going to go for Mass Effect. I think I have to pick a Bioware game over a Bethesda game mainly because I love having multiple characters to customise - the advantage the Elder Scrolls games and Fallout 3 is that when you replay you can retool your character for a whole new experience whereas in the Party-based games to a certain extent you've played a lot of the class/skill combinations, but given that I rarely complete large sprawling RPGs it's nice to get a lot of it on the first run through. The main reasons I'm choosing Mass Effect over KOTOR and DA:O is the combat. Swishing swords/lightsabers through each other and having a number float upwards doesn't have quite the same feeling of contact as shooting something and it blowing up. You can still pause combat and assign targets/special abilities but it has more of an immediacy to it. The force-like Biotics also help make up for not being KOTOR. Also you can get it on with a blue alien.]]>

As powers go it obviously depends what you want to achieve but assuming you want to be a superhero of some sort (or even if you don't) you need to think pretty carefully about the nature of your power. Flight If you want the power of flight because you're lazy you need to make sure you're not getting wings - even with (Arch)Angel-style hollow bones you're going to have to flap those bad boys and flying is energy-intensive - you need to make sure you're getting Nathan Petrelli style self-propelled flight. Invisibility A word of advice, anyone you meet who thinks Invisibility is the best power is a pervert. Straight up. Teleportation As the Google Engineers correctly surmise this is the power you want (of these three anyway). You don't get the wind whistling through your hair as you soar on thermals, but you can get anywhere you like a hell of a lot quicker than flying there, and in terms of kicking ass (which neither of the others are that great for) the opening of X-Men 2 should tell you everything you need to know. Even if you don't have a tail.

If you can't find it anywhere it's essentially a modified version of the opening voiceover plus montage followed by a tank falling from a plane shooting down another plane (as in the tank shoots down plane two). Ridiculous to say the least. In other Tank news I just tried Swamp Fever on L4D2 (single player) and single handedly finished off two Tanks with my Axe as the Boat arrived. Awesome. Of the melee weapons I've tried I think I'd rank them a little something like this:
    1. Machete
    2. Axe
    3. Chainsaw
    4. Crowbar
    5. Frying Pan

However, when the same rubric was applied using photos of “real” flora and fauna (animals and plants that lived in the children's back yards) the results were simply horrendous. Basically kids can remember Pokemon but not actual animals - the solution? Make Pokemon cards for actual animals (Gadsberry and I were way ahead of the curve on the animal top trumps) - anyone interested in submitting can check out the phylomon site or their Flickr group.

    Anyone who likes medieval illumination should definitely check it out.

In the Punnett Square of Happiness and Unhappiness against Fortune in others and Misfortune in others Mudita is the coolest one: Happiness in another's fortune. Joy at their joy.
    The term mudita is usually translated as "sympathetic" or "altruistic" joy, the pleasure that comes from delighting in other people's well-being rather than begrudging it. Many Buddhist teachers interpret mudita more broadly as referring to an inner spring of infinite joy that is available to everyone at all times, regardless of circumstances. The more deeply one drinks of this spring, the more secure one becomes in one's own abundant happiness, and the easier it then becomes to relish the joy of other people as well.
    How awesome is that? Also for more German loanword fun check out Claire Rayner on Zeitguest. Also.]]>

    You’re still confused about how to properly append the suffix “man” to a noun to create a superhero/villain name: Should it be two words (Iron Man)? Should it be hyphenated (Spider-Man)? Does writing it out as one word make it look like it should be someone’s last name? If you’re at all like me, these perplexing questions will distract from your viewing experience.

    2. World Press Photo of the Year - some powerful stuff (some of it quite mindfucking but in a completely different way) - be warned: some of the images are graphic (including pictures of wounded and dead and an execution by stoning).

  • I keep wanting to jump on and off things (this generally occurs when my run reaches an end point - top of the stairs if a good example); I have managed to contain this one so far (which is probably for the best)

    • Propane (the post-apocalyptic fuel of choice)
    • A Weed-whacker (for both horticulture and boating)
    • A  gun
    Let's be honest, if you knew you were the last person alive you'd probably forgo the propane and weed-whacker. (via kottke)]]>

Jake Adelstein is an American journalist who for the past twelve years has been a crime reporter for Japan's largest newspaper. Reading the introduction to the interview I wonder if describing his exploits as "crazy adventures" gives them a misleadingly whimsical air.
    And as I turned my back to leave, he jumped on me. He started hitting me really hard and kicking me. So I ran to the corner of his room and got a golf club, and kept hitting his knee until his knee broke. I was just running around in circles aiming at his knee. Even after his knee broke, he was still crawling at me. I was like, god! Why don't you just give up?

    The Holocron is divided into 5 levels (in order of precedence): G-canon, T-canon, C-canon, S-canon, and N-canon.
    It basically runs a little something like: Films > George > TV > Books/Comics > RPG > Everything else (the N in N-canon stands for 'non'). The problems arise when you take thirty years of licensed expanded universe, add in healthy dash of prequel-related discontinuty and retcon and then feed to your large base of foaming fanboys. This also puts an amusing spin on it:
    "So how did Anakin get that scar, George?" asks John Knoll.
    "I don't know. Ask Howard," says George, referring to President of Lucas Licensing Howard Roffman. "That's one of those things that happens in the novels between the movies. I just put it there. He has to explain how it got there. I think Anakin got it slipping in the bathtub, but of course, he's not going to tell anybody that."
    I love the idea that the long-suffering Howard has just finished crowbarring an explanation to George's latest addition into the Universe when George comes bounding back in to tell him about his new idea. Rather than come up with my own amusing take on an actual example I'll just use something someone else has done: "...that little lazer sword of his." Really George?]]>

Fulton remained outwardly calm, and denied everything. Inwardly, though, he felt sick. He’d been spying on the IRA for a decade and a half, and he knew that if Scap broke him—if he admitted anything—he’d be a dead man—own a hole,” in IRA slang. So throughout the interrogation, Fulton sat stone-faced, blindfolded, and facing the wall. Double blind. He held tight to his secret: yes, he was a British spy. But then, so was his interrogator. Found via Kottke, Longform.org is collecting great pieces of long form journalism. This is taken from an article about British counter-insurgency in Northern Ireland during the Troubles that makes for an interesting read.
    By early 1993, Fulton and his team of bombers had found something less clumsy than wires to use in bomb and rocket detonation. They rigged bombs with photo sensors, which they triggered by popping off camera flashes. The results were lethal. Trouble was, other lights—bright headlights, or a tourist’s disposable photo flash—could set off a bomb prematurely. British intelligence services, in an effort to control IRA techniques through collaboration, secretly passed along a solution for the problem: a new technology—the infrared flash—that could be acquired only in America. Fulton’s handlers offered to facilitate an undercover IRA shopping mission to New York, and an MI5 officer flew across the Atlantic on the Concorde to make arrangements with American services in advance of Fulton’s arrival. “This was a terrorist organization operating in the United States,” Fulton told me, and it required cooperation. “It was a pretty big thing.” Fulton traveled to New York with several thousand dollars, met secretly with his handlers, arranged the purchase, and returned to Northern Ireland, ready to create a deadly new weapon. The IRA embraced the innovation, and it worked so well that other terrorist groups soon took notice and adapted the infrared photo-sensor bomb to their own wars. Today, Iraqi insurgents wield it against British and American troops in Iraq

    Victor has just finished conducting at one of his 80th birthday concerts and the crowd reaction was so good that the violinist, Anton Kontra, suggests an encore. No encore was planned but Monti's Czardas, which Victor had heard before BUT HAD NEVER PLAYED, is suggested. Nevertheless, the two go at it and put on quite a show.
    It's worth spending half an hour on Youtube looking at his stuff - it's all brilliant.]]>

    Dowsing for Bombs http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2010/05/30/dowsing-for-bombs/ Sun, 30 May 2010 21:48:10 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2636 this back in January...
    The director of a British company that supplies bomb detectors to Iraq has been arrested on fraud charges, and the export of the devices has been banned... The ADE 651 is a hand-held wand with no batteries or internal electronic components, ostensibly powered by the static electricity of the user, who needs to walk in place to charge it. The only moving part is what looks like a radio antenna on a swivel, which swings to point toward the presence of weapons or explosives. The Times of London quoted Mr. McCormick in November as saying that the device’s technology was similar to that of dowsing or divining rods used to find water. “We have been dealing with doubters for 10 years,” he said. “One of the problems we have is that the machine does look primitive. We are working on a new model that has flashing lights.” Shortly after the arrest on Friday, the BBC reported that it had arranged a lab test of the device and found that its bomb-detection component was an electronic merchandise tag of the sort used to prevent shoplifting. ATSC’s brochures claim the ADE 651 can detect minute traces of explosives, drugs or even human remains at distances of up to 6 miles by air, or three-fifths of a mile by land.
    The Iraqi government paid this guy $85 million dollars for 800 sticks that have failed to prevent thousands of people from getting blown up.]]>

One friend, an American who works in film, was paid to represent a Canadian company and give a speech espousing a low-carbon future. Another was flown to Shanghai to act as a seasonal-gifts buyer. Recruiting fake businessmen is one way to create the image--particularly, the image of connection--that Chinese companies crave. My Chinese-language tutor, at first aghast about how much we were getting paid, put it this way: "Having foreigners in nice suits gives the company face..." Already got me a suit, looks like all I need is a ticket to Beijing...

    Sunny days make people happier and more helpful. In a taste test, you’re likely to have a strong preference for the first sample you taste—even if all of the samples are identical. The more often you see a person or an object, the more you’ll like it. Mating decisions are based partly on smell. Our cognitive failings are legion: we take a few anecdotes and make incorrect generalizations, we misinterpret information to support our preconceptions, and we’re easily distracted or swayed by irrelevant details. And what we think of as memories are merely stories we tell ourselves anew each time we recall an event.
    So much for Funes the Memorious. (via Kottke)]]>

    Instead of being the impersonal force guiding the destiny of your faction, you'll actually play as a person who has to negotiate the treacheries and loyalties of family politics.

    For the last three years, I.B.M. scientists have been developing what they expect will be the world’s most advanced “question answering” machine, able to understand a question posed in everyday human elocution — “natural language,” as computer scientists call it — and respond with a precise, factual answer...Nobody ever tackled “Jeopardy!” because experts assumed that even for the latest artificial intelligence, the game was simply too hard: the clues are too puzzling and allusive, and the breadth of trivia is too wide. With Watson, I.B.M. claims it has cracked the problem — and aims to prove as much on national TV.
    It's a really interesting article and is another (scary) indication of how fast technology is moving. When I was a kid if I wanted to find something out I sat down with our Encyclopedia Britannica collection (apparently purchased from a door-to-door salesman as my Dad was having a bath, renovation work my Dad was doing meant there wasn't actually a wall in the bathroom at the time making doorstep conversations from the tub upstairs that bit easier). Now we have the internet, Google, Wikipedia, it's all out there you just have to search for it. Soon we will have knowledge (but more importantly answer) engines that can understand us and give us the answer.
    At first, a Watson system could cost several million dollars, because it needs to run on at least one $1 million I.B.M. server. But Kelly predicts that within 10 years an artificial brain like Watson could run on a much cheaper server, affordable by any small firm, and a few years after that, on a laptop.
    Within my lifetime I will be able to stand in my house and ask Computer/Mother/Pierce Brosnan a question and it will give me an answer. Or become self-aware and nuke the world. I'd still probably rather have a lightsaber. (via Kottke)]]>

That said I am looking at section colour coding and how it can be done without making it look like it's aimed at 5-year olds. It'll probably be along the lines of this quick sketch up in red: scratch2 The 'Good evening Daniel' space will be a Toolbar of sorts likely containing an Inbox, Calendar, Basket and Profile link and probably containing Admin functionality. The central (slimmest) column will probably contain area-specific navigation and possibly Most Read and Recent Comments feeds. The Search may disappear from there. Obviously there's still a lot to be done (especially as this is a mockup rather than an implementable template) but it's getting there, just need to work a little more on distinctions between content areas (what's global, what's context specific) but it is taking shape!]]> 2732 2010-07-13 21:21:19 2010-07-13 20:21:19 open open scratch publish 0 0 post _edit_lock 1279052481 _edit_last 1 Think Locally Fuck Globally http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2010/07/15/think-locally-fuck-globally/ Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:23:24 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2736
  • On the homepage where the primary content space is the news feed this will contain Most Read, Recent Comments and The Boar RSS - other things relating to overall SU/student news
  • On an article page this will contain Most Read, Recent Comments and Recently Added for the article's owning organisation (also if Related Articles can be done somehow tying into the tags then maybe that too - these could also/alternatively sit at the bottom of the article)
  • On an event page this will contain Popular Events, Recent Comments on Events (can this be done?)
  • The larger right hand column will be for alternate content types to those of the primary content area and middle column, for example:
    • Events, Food Offers and Polls on pages when the primary area is News
    • News on Events pages etc.
    I'm still working out how local/global and now/featured work on this final column, I think on the homepage it should be focused on the right now, stuff I can do now, see now but once you get down to pages owned by an organisation it can be more 'this is what these guys are doing now but also this important thing is coming up'. www.warwicksu.com/scratch - for page I'm working on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbgC3qw_OlM - for the title reference]]>

    Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made.

Equatorial Megacontinent http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/2010/07/29/equatorial-megacontinent/ Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:59:22 +0000 http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=2846 If the Earth stopped spinning.
    If the earth's gravity alone was responsible for creating a new geography, the huge bulge of oceanic water—which is now about 8 km high at the equator—would migrate to where a stationary earth's gravity would be the strongest.
    equa Interesting point from towards the end:
    Most scientists agree that the solar day (related to the speed of rotation) is continuously getting longer. This minimal increase of the day length is due mainly to the oceanic tidal friction. When the estimated rate of the slowdown was projected back to past geologic eons, it showed that the length of a day was several hours shorter than today.

If it wasn’t, it would be called the Worst Party or the Bad Party. We would never work with a party like that.” The new mayor of Reykjavik, Jon Gnarr, founded his 'Best Party' as something of a jab at Icelandic politics and now they hold 6 City Council seats. As 8 are requried for a majority Mr Gnarr had to form a coalition and in a move both heroic and sensible:
    ...ruled out any party whose members had not seen all five seasons of “The Wire.”

    Now that you know what to order, learn to drink slowly. A well-mixed drink is like a rich dessert, it’s impolite to shovel sweets into one’s mouth and lick the plate. Sipping will help you aim for cheerful and stop short of drenched. Have a few taste tests to figure out what kind of liquor you like, then request it when you go out. This will make your drinks slightly more expensive, and also more delicious. If you’re ordering a gin and tonic, make it a Bombay and tonic, a shot of bourbon becomes a ‘Makers Mark, neat.’ Bam, you’re a worldly sonofabitch.
    I definitely need to sort out my home cocktail facilities, especially glassware (if only so I stop serving wine in a tankard to Lex) (via Coudal)]]>

    After deliberating about 5 ½ hours Thursday, the seven woman, five man jury returned a verdict of guilty in the trial of former district court judge Donald Thompson, charged with four felony counts of indecent exposure as a result of using a penis pump to masturbate while adjudicating trials.
    Oh, but it gets better...
    During the trial, defense attorneys had attempted to discredit the prosecution witnesses, had argued that the penis pump didn't work...
    That's definitely the defence route I'd take: "I was totally trying to jack off but the penis pump just wasn't doing it for me. I was barely pleasuring myself at all, your Honour." Oh, but it gets better...
    Foster had testified that when she saw Thompson shaving his scrotum during the 2002 trial of a woman accused or murdering her 21-month old baby, she was "shocked and disgusted".
    And they say men can't multi-task. (thx to Carter)]]>

    'A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope'...takes the prequels as canon, and argues for an intriguing, sinister subtext to Episode IV.
    So it turns out Artoo and Chewie are the Rebellion's chief intelligence officers, each with suitable cover:
    Wherever 3PO goes, being as loud and obvious as he always is, his unobtrusive little counterpart goes with him. 3PO is R2's front man.
    Definitely an interesting take on EpIV for anyone who's wondered why Obi-Wan claims to have never owned a droid, how Han ended up owning the fastest ship in the galaxy and why Chewie doesn't get a medal. (via Kottke)]]>

This is the great Cab Calloway singing St James Infirmary Blues in Fleischer's Snow White: I'm guessing the 'Oh Koko' that opens the White Stripes version is a reference to this? There definitely seems to be more than a dash of this to the Wiyo's Dyin' Crapshooters Blues too. Edit: from the song's Wikipedia entry:
    Bob Dylan used the melody in his song "Blind Willie McTell" (released on Bootleg Series, Volumes 1–3), named for blues singer Blind Willie McTell (who recorded a version of the song under the title "Dying Crapshooter's Blues"); the song makes reference to a "St. James Hotel."

    She wants you to listen, not to offer a solution to what she’s venting about.
    Guilty. But I can't help myself!
    Get on the wagon every once in a while. If only to appreciate that first sip a little bit more than the last.
    And to save yourself a shitload of money. I think the most interesting one for me is:
    No one gives a damn about the size of your to-do list.
    I think if the point is that it doesn't matter how much you have to do more will still be expected of you then I guess it's true, but as someone with a perpetually hefty (and growing) to do list I find that actually everyone I work with is very aware of it and doesn't want to add to it but they still do. I would have the life lesson as: everyone thinks they are an exception. If you sit everyone down in a room to agree on a standard across the board and you reach a consensus as soon as one of those people has an individual project it will require something different. The agreed standard will even be referenced but will be shortly followed by a 'but'. People will always see their project as an exception to the rule even if they set the rule (often especially so in that case) and in terms of a to do list someone may try their hardest to stop others from adding to your to do list but when it comes to them the situation is different - which ultimately leads to the same outcome when everyone thinks that way - but as a rule I think it can be applied to a wider range of situations.

    To build intrigue, the accompanist may be billed as an android, caveman, confirmed serial killer who is shortening his prison sentence through a musical community-service program, or all of the above. Therefore, it is necessary for the accompanist to play from music sheets of binary code, create music by striking the keys with an oversized faux-wooden club, and play with ankles and wrists cuffed. Some of my singing engagements take place late at night, in the homes of strangers, without audiences or music, and may appear to be elaborate art or jewel heists.

They first became aware of his existence nearly 15 years ago and for a decade launched numerous expeditions to track him, to ensure his safety, and to try to establish peaceful contact with him. Peaceful contact proved elusive, but those encounters helped the agents stitch together a profile of a man with a calamitous past. In one jungle clearing they found the bulldozed ruins of several huts, each featuring the exact same kind of hole—14 in all—that the lone Indian customarily dug inside his dwellings. They concluded that it had been the site of his village, and that it had been destroyed by land-hungry settlers in early 1996. The most isolated man on the planet, the last remaining member of his tribe, lives alone in a 31 square mile 'reservation' in Brazil and has done for the best part of a decade and a half.

Those people surveyed were not told what the real pay levels were in those professions. Note, it's what these professions *should* pay not what people think they do pay. According to the survey the public think that Premiership Footballers should be the highest earners in the country (though they should only earn about £1000 a day rather than the four and half they currently earn on average). Depressing much?

    At the 1974 New York Comic Art Convention panel "Marvel Comics: The Method and the Madness", Marv Wolfman told the audience that when he began writing for DC, he was forbidden to use the name "Wolfman" in print due to the Comics Code Authority's ban on werewolves.

If it wasn't for the shockwave this could be a photo of a hazy sunset. The collection also contains an atomic cannon, the famous shot from Bikini atoll and a series of a school bus getting pretty seriously burnt, then blown out, then burnt again (no test shots of fridges though). There are also some cool/weird shots of the early stages of the expanding fireball: bomb5 This image isn't in the gallery but is of the first nuclear detonation (Trinity): trinity The (very small) black dots in the foreground are trees, the big blob is a fireball 200m wide.

    chewie1 The article has great background on the development of Chewie's appearance and story arc (or lack of unless you subscribe to an alternative interpretation) along with great concept art and costume images.

The claustrophobia of Bioshock was great but Columbia is looking like a great extension of the Bioshock multiverse (and wide open spaces means sighted rifles which can only be a good thing). The plasmid/tonic mechanic is changing (and looking good from what I've seen):
    These new powers are known as Vigors and are different from Bioshock and Bioshock 2's Plasmids in the sense that they do not alter the user's genetic code; this being indicated by a set amount of charges that each vigor gives when attained. The vigors are drunk by the player and bestow upon Booker powers such as electro-bolt and telekinesis. Lesser vigors allow for more charges and stronger vigors carry fewer uses, enforcing the need for strategic use of such powers. The effect of passive abilities, dubbed nostrums, are affected by the choices you make during the game and the game-play style the player takes. (read more)
    You can't really tell from the trailer but I'd be interested to know whether they work in the same way as Plasmids in that you select your 'active' power and can then 'fire' it - the fluidity of the play makes me think it could be more along the lines of hotkeys with no need to actively switch between powers. Instant access to all of your powers would definitely be a plus in my book, in a similar vein to Dragon Age 2's special attack philosophy ('when I click something, awesome happens').  And it means I can feel more like I'm Sylar. The only lame thing so far is the wait - Bioshock: Infinite is scheduled for 2012...]]>

    Dr Fox described the game as "un-British" and said it was "shocking that someone would think it acceptable to recreate the acts of the Taliban against British soldiers".
    In other shocking news, children for generations have been re-creating the actions of criminals in the game 'Cops and Robbers'. Previous games let you play as Nazis and no-one gave a shit, you can play as (generically-named) baddies in Modern Warfare and other games. If they had created a fictional name no-one would care (though then EA wouldn't have got a load of free press). I can't wait until we have a generation of politicians who grew up playing computer games, or even better politicians who still play computer games. They're games. They're entertainment. Growing up playing first person shooters is no more likely to send you on a killing spree than growing up playing Go for Broke is to make you recklessly lend money to high-risk borrowers leading to huge losses and ultimately the collapse of large financial institutions requiring vast government bailouts funded by taxpayers.

  • Forum usage is almost three times last year's
  • Profile usage has doubled
  • We haven't had a day where news has received less traffic, overall it's up by more than 50%
  • Logins are up by a good 40%
  • We've leapt from about 1 society using the organisation tools to at least 40 (and that's just what I've noticed without even checking)
  • And while this one isn't entirely down to the site we held competitive, quorate Medical Faculty Elections for the first time in years and it's looking like we're about to have a clean sweep (for the first time ever?) on Autumn Elections
  • So though it's not quite the original vision, and it still needs a fair bit of work to be complete, it is doing what it's supposed to.]]>

http://www.danconnolly.co.uk/?p=3083 It took me the entire clip to place Doc Mitchell's voice (Saul from BSG) but the whole cast is worth a look - Chandler, Kristofferson, Perlman (of course), Chuck,
