A short time lapse video I shot from the temporary Polldaddy HQ in Reykjavik, Iceland. I shot it with my Android phone over the course of about an hour. My battery hit 9% remaining charge by the end of it! I’ve never seen the weather change so fast or so often as it does here in Reykjavik.
Do not adjust your volume, there is no sound!
Krista posted a timelapse video from the same window!
With this app you can install Ubuntu on your Android phone. It has to be rooted obviously and it’s definitely not this.
It looks like this installs Ubuntu in the same way as in the video above. It’s an app that runs in the background and you use a VNC client to connect to it. You could of course use VNC on a local desktop machine to connect to it too making it more useful but I think this is more a curiosity for those who like to tinker with their phones …
Pity he couldn’t get WordPress running on that Ubuntu install. That would have been fun to see!
That final line of this scene.. Couldn’t stop laughing.
(Odd, the video looks squashed. It’s not WordPress doing it as the embed code from Youtube does the same. Odd.)
So long guys! (via RTed by troopstorm)

Oh well, Darwinia was one of my favourite purchases of 2011 but Introversion are done with Darwinia however. Thanks Gnomeslair for the link.

Batman Forever is an amazing looking Amstrad CPC demo made last year and won first place in the CPC Demo compo at Forever 2011.
Stunning artwork, great effects but perhaps a little bit of the old school yard “my computer is better than your one” in there too. Not too fond of the Commodore 64 are they? 😉
Also check out pushnpop.net, an Amstrad demoscene website! It even has an article on cross-platform development using Linux and Vim!
Thanks Keith for leaving a comment in my last post about this demo. Well worth watching!
In related news, the 1541-II I ordered last week arrived this morning. I’m waiting on the zoomfloppy USB interface to connect it to my laptop now. Fingers crossed it’ll work and it’s not too late for my 20 year old Commodore 64 5 1/4 discs. I tend to agree that if it wasn’t for piracy ancient games would be lost to history now ..
If you’ve had enough of SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, bailouts, the Euro defaulting, rising oil prices and the rest of the bad news you’ll enjoy this video.
By chance we have a Shitzu at home and a black and white cat (daughter of this cute little fella). They’re friendly but not like these two!
I expect this video will be pulled from Youtube just as soon as the copyright holder matches the song.. Oh well. 🙁

Are there Skyrim fans in the house? Sure there are! You’ll recognise the town of Whiterun in the video above, all built in Minecraft. It looks pretty good too! Download link for the map in the description of the video!
