Remeber Wil Wheaton? The guy who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation? Yeah, the really fucking nippy kid that everyone hated. Well, old news, but new to me, but he’s got a blog. And despite going there prepared for the worst, I discover that he’s actually pretty funny and switched on. Go take a look.
Rain Street is back up and running. Which means that They Fight Crime! is working again as well. So sod off and use it.
Administrivia
It’s been a good couple of days. Yesterday, I finally started to get my head around writing Object Oriented code in PHP, and have sucessfully applied it both at work and on the (still coming soon) Electricana. I have sorted out new hosting for my rain-street.org domain, so that should be back in the next week or so, I have bought the new Aphex Twin CD (and an old Big Black CD), and best of all, I have just taken a stroll down by the Thames on a bright, sunny and cool autumn day.
Making A Monkey Out Of Me
Doing the Animal In You survey, I dicover that I’m either a Penguin, a Bison or possibly a Gorilla. Why am I compelled do these tests?
Progress
Last night, I jogged well over two miles, and then cycled a further five. Today, I feel absolutely fine and dandy. Six months ago, I couldn’t run 100 yards for the bus.
Balanced
Good Thing: My tickets to see Kodo Drummers in November have arrived. Kodo Drummers are very very good.
Bad Thing: My e-mail is fucked. I am prevented from collecting it from my mailserver. My e-mail is very very bad.
Sensible
Found as part of a mission statement for a computer games development project: “Be reasonable. Demand the Impossible.”
Makes sense to me.
Stomp
“Hey mister, you got the best answering machine message I ever heard”
You know it’s a good start to the week when the random selected playlist begins with “My Baby Is A Headfuck” by the Wildhearts, and moves from there to “More Songs About Chocolate And Girls” by the Undertones . Hope you all had a good weekend.
Experience
Further to my previous post: I’ve got ANGEL PASSAGE on order, for when it’s released next week. I downloaded the preview track of the first link I provided, and I want to to be here right god-damned now. Yesterday, in fact. Why isn’t it fucking here yet?
As you might have guessed, it blew me away. The bit where the guitars pick up and Alan goes into full intensity just picked me up and dragged me along with it. You have to hear this.
