Bazinga!

I just had a very enjoyable 3 hours.. playing.. THIS! For those of you who aren’t adept in reading Steam URL’s by their ID, it’s Safe Cracker. Think puzzles, driven by a pathetic story. It remind’s me a lot of 7th Guest and it’s sequence 11th Hour (the 4 CD’s are within arm’s reach of my desk!). Having missed my dead line for dinner I cracked open a few cold ones and ploughed through this bad boy – a lot of fun if you like puzzles. It’s very well priced at $5 on Steam, and if you get it within the next week or so it’s half price.. bargain.

  • Thanks BP

  • Crazy gymanists

  • The most viewed video on youtube.. seriously?

  • Nifty song, thanks Zee

  • First five minutes is GOLD

Anyone been following Civilisation 5? If not, you should be! Civ has got to be one of the most successfully games around, I remember picking up the original in 91 or 92. The latest incarnation is due out the end of this year – check out some info and a trailer here.

Proofing reading is for fags. Realistic break up letter is for men.

Oh Noes

My winter unit has been cancelled. DAM YOU LOW NUMBERS. Now I have to either overload, or do another unit next year .. sigh!

Tortoise mateship

Happiest duck online

Saddest dog online

CentOS

The free Red Hat! Stupid installer script is so anal about setting a specific repository though – dam you RHCE.

Anyone who hasn’t seen Coupling is a fool.. and should watch it. It’s a BBC show that’s a cross between Friends and.. hmm something more awesome.

The Battles are a unique band, check out my favourite song.

Another cracker, by Coheed and Cambria.

A Grindhouse trailer actually being made? SAY IT AINT SO!

If you ever get a chance to go to Austria, make sure you check out the Schnapps Museum and drink this shit!

Spimage

Spam and Image.. I’m a wordsmith.

Gotta setup my new server tomorrow, I feel dirty using CentOS as an alternative to Red Hat – but it’s free!

uToob Spam

Engineering win.

Don’t mess with a computer!

American arrogance is the best.

Danger danger, high voltage.. not really. A scary snake.

Floor piano’s rawk.

Good Year

Flare gun?

This year is going to be a good year if all goes to plan.

  • Finish my degree, hopefully with a double minor
  • Get my RHCE
  • Get some other online certs
  • See Powderfingers farewell tour
  • See Muse finally
  • Best friend is coming over from Canberra

I actually can’t believe they still had Muse tickets on sale a week or so after they were released. WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PERTHITES? Muse has got to be in my top 5 bands of all time, along side other greats such as Powderfinger, Bad Religion, Dire Straits and some others I haven’t decided.

God dam I’m excited… just wanted to tell someone. So there, take that Internet.

GOB Rules

I’m a bit of an Arrested Development nut.. so I find this great :)

Update: Couldn’t help myself

W3Schools Certificate

Is it worth it? Probably not.
Am I going to do it. Yes.
Why? Because my winter unit doesn’t start for another few weeks and I took this year off to get qualifications like my degree!
Which? HTML, XML and PHP
Cost? 3×80 = 240 .. EEK.

Check out some funnies:

  • I love short films like this

  • Homage to my dad

  • Who said Japanese are odd?

  • LEGO printer

Winter Break

Even after signing up to do a unit over the winter break I still have 3 weeks off.. without work it’s not so easy to pass the time. I’ve taken up reading again, working my way through The Magician – Feist’s first book. I’ts friggin awesome, not sure why it’s taken me 2 years to get half way through it. While it’s hefty at ~650 pages the writing is easy to follow and enthralling.

Any fans of the US Office will appreciate the following blue print, maybe combine it with the freakiest toy known to man (that is if you’ve seen Saw).

Anyone else annoyed by Google’s latest doodle, a full page random image.. my god it’s ghastly and ugly. What’s worse is there is no obvious way to remove it, or indication it’s only a trial for the day. This has got to be the first time I’ve been annoyed at Google.. dam you for making me upset at you! Found this gem which explains how to remove it, well sort of..

Was listening to Hamish and Andy the other day and they went into a discussion about cute animals. One of their rules was it couldn’t have eyes on the side of their head.. however I disagree. If cute turtles aren’t your thing, what about Wile E. Coyote?

Can’t be bothered typing anymore:

MK Done Right?

Up until 5 minutes in I was so excited it hurt… The teaser then goes on to mention a certain tournament and reality kicked in. I was hoping for a SyFy style revamp, however this looks entertaining.

Yay!
