The DS Drinking Game
While many things were achieved during my recent visit to Scotland, the most notable was the invention of the DS Drinking Game.Its a simple, sophisticated way of imbibing a shedload of alcohol very quickly.
Here’s a live demonstration….
And here is how it works….
in the style of a secondary school science-class-experiement write-up…
Windows Vista – horrific beauty…
This morning Slashdot pointed out a post by Chalain on livejournal.com, an interesting poetic analogy, well worth a read!
Proof of Amy’s Party
Thanks to Mickey, his over-zealous use of the camera on his phone and his need to take advantage of drunk people, we have photographic evidence of Amy’s birthday party.

The VCR Lives On!
As a product of recent boredom and a male desire to build, I built the redundant parts of ye computers of old into a rather fetching black Toshiba VCR, the result was rather pleasing.
Depite some heat issues with the lack of air-flow in the case, the system performed rather admirably at its first public trial on Saturday, Amy’s birthday party. Only going crazy from heat-related injuries once or twice (every three hours :P).
Next big step is to get some kind of structured air flow into it and connect up the original power buttons.
Wish me luck!
Google has my soul
As of today (31/01/07) Google own my soul. I am reluctant to admit this, but they have centralised and easy-ified all my information orientated services, in ways I never thought possible. I have never before hated something for being so damn convenient.
#1
Google Mail stole me away from all other free email services 2 years ago, and they just keep getting better! When I got a new phone in November (SE k800i) I went to my email in WAP and google offered me a java application for my phone to save me time and bandwidth when checking my email! Brilliant!

Google Calendar!! Finally I find a personal planner that can do everything I need from it. Bye bye Outlook, never again will I see your ugly face. Google Calendar easily imported everything from Outlook, and then with a few web-searches (on google oddly enough) I found out I could get it to sync with my mobile. EVEN BETTER, when I had a little look around the calendar’s settings I discovered that Google would send me reminders for all my meetings and appointments via text message…. FOR FREE. Every morning I wake up to a complimentary text from Google summarising my events for the impending day! Combining all this functionality with the Google Calendar Notifier Plugin for Firefox and I’m ecstatic!
