Headlines from 2011

These headlines from the future make for good reading. hehe.

President Howard Dean vowed to continue pursuing the missing terrorists, but Richard Perl, Donald Rumsfeld et al. are still at large, being hidden by members of anti-Government militias in remote regions of the mountain states. The cabal took flight following the shocking 2009 discovery that “George W. Bush” was a humanoid robot loosely modeled on a combination of George H. W. Bush and former Indiana Senator Dan Quayle….

Hard to debug this..

Glad I don’t work where this bug was submitted. It’s a Visual C++ bug but I’m not convinced that the steps to reproduce are valid.
What if someone from marketing walks into the room just as the compilation finishes? They’re not a developer but if they hear the sound, it might be the microwave dinging.. (ok, this is getting silly, I’ll shut up!)
If need to ask why? – Thanks Pron for that.

Ford Sportka | The Evil Twin

I saw this short film at www.the-eviltwin.co.uk on “The Panel” on Network 2 the other night. Unfortunately, the site is an awful flash site. To watch the “Evil Twin” movie, click on “View Highlights”, and then click on “Clip one”. It’s a tiny box, and I can’t see any download link for a sane version.
Update! That site is gone, but you can get the Ford Sport Ka ads here: http://www.allowe.com/Humor/video.htm – just scroll down a little. Thanks Brian for getting that!
Here’s a lot more info about the advert. Good read.

If you're in London tonight, bring your laser pointer..

The Fark.com Flash Mob will “Laser-Pointer David Blaine” tonight at 9pm. Be there at 8:45pm to “scope the place out and choose a good spot.”
Thanks NTK for the heads up, “if anyone actually makes the effort, they should be able to light him up like the Blackpool illuminations.”
hehe.

NTK will also have a stall at the Back in Time Live 4, described as, “A mammoth weekend of C64 fun, the biggest 8-bit rock concert ever held, and a great retro-music-game-exhibition.” Yes, I’d like to be there.
