Road Pricing Petition - THIS LOOKS REAL

2007-01-11T11:47:06Z

I've checked this out on the net and it appears to be the real deal.
Tell you what screw that for a barrell of Monkeys.
So we get taxed to drive everywhere, fined for speeding
and I bet Petrol will still be taxed and we'll have to get road tax as well!!
I'll let you decide if you forward this to anyone (I have signed).

>Subject: Petition Against Government Road Pricing

>You have until the 20th February to petition against this ... it is real.

>DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

>The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you having

I am Famous

2007-01-03T10:39:52Z

I just found out that I have credits for 2 PC Games

http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,226620/

Ok it's only special thanks but I gave them creative labs hardware when I worked there so I got credited... AMAZING!! well it is for me =)

This is actually me by the way I'm not kidding, if you check the credits for Serious Sam you see that another guy I worked with in Creative Labs (Daniel Peacock) is also listed!!

Unfortunatley due to lack of space, we were not allowed to put credits in the Mobile Games I worked on =(

insulting the spanish

2006-11-13T14:59:05Z

I Swear this is true:

So I am off work tomorrow and I asked one of my Spanish collegues in Germany, to send any emails to my home address which you all know "pajaco".

Only to be told the following:

"By the way, you should think of changing your email address, as it does not sound very well in Spanish...It could read as Paja-Co, which is something not really nice...;)"

So naturally I asked what it meant and:

"Co = company in spanish/english
"Paja" is slang for something male teenagers do quite frequently typically with adult magazines ;)"

So basically my university login and username for just about everything I use is actually Spanish for wanking company or to put it another way a BIG WANKER.... WTF christ I don't think I've bought anything from anyone Spanish on ebay but my god my hole online life reduced essentially to being that.

Damn life can be cruel =)

A Poem For Commuters

2006-09-19T08:43:16Z

So Yet again the trains were cocked up today, and i could have stayed in bed another 25 minutes.
bogus!! so whilst SW Trains were busy giving out appologies for the various reasons the trains were runnning late I wrote a little ditty in my head...

We're sorry to announce your train is cancelled
We're sorry to cause you a delay.

But we don't really give a toss about you
Because we have your money anyway!

There are no seats left, so you'll have to sit on the floor.
When it's standing room only, can you please hang out of the door?

We pay our managers thousands for cocking things up
and the drivers won't drive until there's no tea in their cup

We're sorry we're not moving, the signal box has broken again
But refreshments are available from the back of the train.

And please take you items with you, when you finally alight
And please remember you'll have go through this again tonight!

Ok so now I feel better =)

How To Spot an Ebay Scam

2006-08-04T13:45:26Z

Browsing ebay and I saw this:

NEW Dell XPS M1710 2.16GHz Dual Core/100 GB/2GB
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-Dell-XPS-M1710-2-16GHz-Dual-Core-100-GB-2GB_W0QQitemZ250014929444QQihZ015QQcategoryZ171QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

WOW what great offer, but something is smelling might off in the land if bid

check out the feedback and this guy has bought 10 separate "MP3" and nothing else
and further more he's done them all about 1-2 minutes of each other.
Now I'm no mathematician but I'm sure you can't login to paypal and pay for the item that quickly can you?

Note how all of the sellers of the mysterious "MP3" all have no feedback

Me thinks this dude is in fact all of the sellers of "MP3" and that he has just created all these feedback to scam some poor sod out of a load of cash =)

Remember think once, think twice think don't drive on the pavement.

is it possible to take out a hit on someone in WOW?

2006-06-18T20:28:19Z

some total A_hole keeps spamming ebay with hundreds of individual auctions for WOW gold
if anyone knows "tdcas" can you please spank them for me?

cheers

swap two variables without using a third... BORING ALERT

2006-06-08T13:32:44Z

Ok so in my quest to alleviate the boredom of waiting for the games repository to respond to my every whim I came up with a way of swapping two variables with out using a 3rd... I think.

Normally to swap the values in A & B you need C

e.g.

A = 5;
B = 3;
C = A; // A = 5, B = 3, C = 5
A = B; // A = 3, B = 3, C = 5
B = C; // A = 3, B = 5; C = 5

But I in my genius or total boredom came up with.

A = 5;
B = 3;
A += B; // A = 8, B = 3
B = (A-B); // A = 8, B = 5
A = (A-B); // A = 3, B = 5

Assuming of course that the brackets get evaluated first...

And that ladies and Gentleman is.... FOR GODSAKE GET ME OUT OF HERE I AM GOING MAD.....

=P

Some people really dont have a clue

2006-05-23T09:34:52Z

So check out this Ebay auction:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RETRO-GRANDSTAND-FIREFOX-F-7_W0QQitemZ8285796566QQcategoryZ38598QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Then do a search in ebay for firefox and look and pc and video games!

I think this guy is either on a con or thinks he's found the holy grail of retro gaming.
Christ I picked up one of these boxed from charity shop for £2!!

Vampires and how to beat them

2006-02-19T11:41:08Z

OK so it occurred to me the other day that you can beat a vampire very easily, should you ever be unfortunate enough to encounter one:

1) Stand Straight with your legs together
2) put your arms out wide

Essentially making a cross shape (or in the fashion of somone being crucified)

and then you make one giant cross and the blood sucking SOB won't be able to touch you =)

keep this up till sunlight and bingo your saved....

Video Games and Society

2006-01-17T17:59:07Z

So it looks like the control freaks now have another reason to complain about video games.

Not only do video games:

1) Teach you to pop a cap in someone's backside
2) Teach you how to have fully clothed sex
3) Teach you violence in general

But now it seems that the upcoming game Mark Eckos Getting up, which uses Graffiti and the implementation thereof as part of the game mechanic, has got DA MAN up in arms because it may cause those people who have problems differentiating fantasy from reality; you know weirdos, shut ins, generally people who share a common fear of sunlight with vampires... oh personal hygiene normally.

So as a respectable adult I am jumping on the bandwagon and I want to Ban the following video games:

1) Tetris
This game caused me to throw a brick at someone in 1986 and I got into a lot of trouble because of this,
Screw you Tetris

2) Ghosts and Goblins
Was the reason I was caught running round the forest in my pants in 1988 and was arrested for decent exposure, when I tried to explain that my armour had been smacked off by a zombie they just didn't believe me. And that was my lance hanging out thank you very much.

3) Track and Field
Turned me into a professional athlete in 1987, but I had to give it up as people kept laughing at my porno tache and tight shorts, (IT STILL HURTS DAMMIT)

4) Frogger,
In 1989 caused a 52 car pileup killing 12 people and seriously injuring 5
normally I'd have expected the car to just hit me like it does in the game.
Id get another life and the game would go on.
But NO, apparently running across the M25 at rush hour causes drivers to swerve in attempt to miss you and they drive into each other, THIS IS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT, but I did get told off by coincidentally the same police man who arrested me in the woods in 1988 I mean jeez what are the odds of that?

5)Ms Pac-Man
in 1983 I became and compulsive eating transvestite of lemon tic-tacs and ballooned to 27 stone,
I then needed serious therapy and a lot of plastic surgery to get rid of the excess skin.
and because of the yellow food coloring in the tic tacs I did stop being yellow until 6 months later.
And how was I to know that some religions force their women to dress from head to foot in a sheet with holes for eyes. I thought she was ghost and tried to eat her!! fortunately I was so fat I only managed to run 2 meters before I fell over in a heaving lump on the floor.

6)Any Pokemon game
The Games "gotta catch em all" has turned me into a kleptomaniac to the degree that I'm even stealing stuff from myself

You see video games are evil, they teach you to do stuff you wouldn't normally do, ban them! ban them all
hey that would make a great idea for a game.

Right I'm off to steal someone's car just to listen to their radio.

London is Mad - But I'm alright mate

2005-07-07T10:40:23Z

Hey Everyone,

I realised I havent written in a while and In all honesty its becuase I forgot.
but for those of you whoa re wondering (after this mornings antics in London)

I'm ok, I don't take the tube, cos it's quicker to walk from Waterloo =)

I didnt even realise it had all kicked off until about 10:00am anyways.

=P

Ding dong the witch is dead

2005-03-29T13:59:41Z

Hey everyone,

Well so far bugger all has happened to me recently but I have finally got rid of my POS white Fiat Tipo and replaced it with the Silver Fiat Tipo, which needs repairing (but not as much as the other one did).

I hated that white car and no that its gone i'm happy even though the new car needs something doing on it
at least its a new car and its only cost me £95 so far including buying it and its MOT and the brake pads for the MOT.

My white one cost £400 odd wuid to get through its last MOT and about £600 for the one before that.

Anyway on the projects front I have some audio editing software and I've started editing together the Audio for Morant Park and i'll try and get the special edition ready for when I go to colchester Next week.

The Visit was supposed to be this week, but I cant get my car fixed till Monday, so i'll stick around and get some stuf done.

Anyway for those of you in China, I hope you're having a great time, cant wait to hear how your getting on =)

Right that's really about it for now sorry its a bit dull =(

VIVE LA RESITANCE!

see ya
=P

be seeing you

2005-03-11T10:30:17Z

hey everyone,

Well Jo and I should be down in Colchester tomorrow about between 3-5pm.
We both seem to be over the worst of the lurgy, with a little cough to show for it.
Jo is sitting over in the corner like a total boff doing her homework whilst I am
surfing the net. I'm going to throw some paper at her =)

I just applied for a Flash artist Job, which I don't think i'll even get considered.

It seems that no matter how good you are at something, if you havent been paid for it (i.e. done it as a job) companies won't touch you.

"YOU MUST HAVE 2+ YRS EXPERIENCE"
"erm but i've been doing it as a hobby for 4"
"YOU MUST HAVE 2+ YRS EXPERIENCE"
"but I'm really quite good at it here look at my stuff"
"YOU MUST HAVE 2+ YRS EXPERIENCE"
and so on

It's quite sad really that work experience counts for so much.
I've met guys who've done stuff for years and still suck at what they do
and others who just pick it up naturally and are really good.
but will never get considered because they have no experience.

Anyway that my rant over with.

Morant Park is now very very close to completion,
I would have had it done this week, but Jo's brother's been sick
and so has been on the computer during the day, which is the only real time I get to do anything.

We (that is Jo and I) should be getting a laptop soon from dell (they're doing some bloody good deals)
so I can work on stuff unhindered throughout most of the week.

I wanted to bang out a pacman game where you can define the ghosts AI from a set of rules =)

If anyone's interested you can read up about pacman ghost AI here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580758&tstart=75

Anyway I'll hopefully see all / most of you tomorrow.
Take it easy

=P

bicycle cards gone!!

2005-03-07T10:53:27Z

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that Mr Toad got in first and hasdibs on my spare box of cards.

Sorry to anyone else who wanted them =)

I can always get more at a later date..

=P

lergyie ahoy and bicycle cards

2005-03-07T10:21:08Z

well I finally went down on saturday with the lergie everyone seems to be getting.
I seem to be over the worst of it, but I just feel tired out and it's left me with a wonderful cough.
Being ill is so inconvenient =)

Last night my temperature was so high that I was half dreaming or hallucinating if you like
that I owned Atari and people were trying to get me to sell it and I didnt want to.

Thats what reading retro gaming books does to you =)

Anyway one of the reasons for popping home was to get my ass to costco's and buy some more bicycle cards,
Which I did and I managed to get shadowstone's YEY!!

I do however have one spare box I bought just in case, which is anyones for the princely some of £10
which is less than I paid but costcos do this weird thing with vat on the receipts and I cant be arsed to argue over a few pence =)

So basically if anyone wants it, give me a shout, it's first come first served though =)

Other than that I signed on again today.
and as much fun as being a gentleman of leisure is, the novely is wearing a bit thin. NO REALLY!!

But on the plus side of it all I should be down with Jo this weekend so we'll get to see you all.

Today's plan, other than feeling sorry for myself is to get some more morant park done.

Take it easy y'all
=P

Libraries, Morant Park and colds

2005-03-03T14:20:38Z

Hey guys,

I've just redicovered that libraries will let you borrow books free of charge.
And it seems that they have som really usefull stuff in.

I've borrowed two books on magic and currently have a potential third in front of me.

When I've amazed you all with my mystical powers I'll tell you the title of the book
I'm reading,

Its chocked full of really great bits of magic.
So much so that I might even buy a copy.

And its only about £11.00 off amazon.

Morant Park is now 9 minutes and 15 seconds long WAHOOO
Basically each day I'm doing a complete scene from the film I'm parodying (check spelling)

I'm gonna try and do a full dvd style front end on it though.
with special features etc.

But I will show you all the movie when its done and provide the full "special edition" when It's finished.

It all appears you are sick at the moment, and it's no different here either
Ryan was sick on saturday and had to miss out on his birthday party (bowling)
And was home until today.
Now Jo is laid up in bed with it, and I hope that I dont go down too I hate being sick. =)

Anyway I hope to be up in the next couple of weeks, before you guys dissapear to China.
Also Whilst I'm at my folks this weekend I am going to make a concerted effort to get to Costco's and get some bicycle's,

If Anyone wants any, let me know before saturday.
I can check my email at my folks more regularly

right now that you've all fallen asleep
I'm off to go buy my dad "Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend"

AS he saw it on the top 100 cartoons of all time and was interested in it.

I WIN!!

BYE =)
