OMFG

Holy moly, I need one of these:

I can just imagine having a wrap around desk like that at work, with a wrap around main screen to do 'normal' work on.

I can always dream, in the mean time; I'm off to design it using Google sketchup:

Crash, out...

Long time no blog

Okay so I ran out of ideas, but worse still; I've got back into WoW. Which means everything else has to take a back seat. I need to mass like 18 more levels to get back in line with my buddy.

Anyway's I'm about to start development of my next game. Not really sure which one of my many zany ideas to create yet, I'm sure I'll change my mind a dozen times in between anyway.

I'm also really chuffed that I've got the remote VPN working now, so I can work from home; really handy with a little one on the way.

Crash, out...

Old fart

Okay okay, no more grumbling. Pointless me posting up things I want to complain about for them to use up precious magnetic space on some remote platter.

So what the hell should I write about?

I don't know, I'll get back to you...

Temporal Reverse Engineering

Okay maybe the title is a little over the top, but I like that term; Douglas Adams is awesome. This idea is more of an ultimate CCTV system, but who wouldn't pay good money to look into the past?

All you need is a device which can take a 'snapshot' of all the energy in a scene, and then run the reverse simulation to back-track the positions of the sources; simple! Similar to reconstructing an original sound wave from a complex echo, only much more complicated; and with every form of detectable energy.

To the drawing board!
Crash, out...

Dot dot dot dash dash

Okay so I've had a rather stuttering start to this blog, but perhaps that is for the best. I mean I've made websites and the likes before, and I've always started with the promise to myself to keep it updated daily; or something unattainable. Perhaps keeping it casual is the key.

Crash by name...

Fecking typical, Great start to a monday morning. I come in early ready to go and my workstation greets me with a blue screen. Oh how I love computers, and in case you are wondering my home PC is still in pieces; completely knackered.

I swear sometimes some higher celestial being is throwing cosmic rays at my general RAM area just for giggles. Guess I better get some hardcore ECC $hit, screw this I'm off for coffee whilst windows re-installs.

Crash out...

I perfer my reality black, 2 sugars...

It's amazing how I keep myself entertained without the internet at home. I was sat in the bath last night pondering what a 'photonic boom' would look like? Even if you could get a device to instantaneously accelerate from zero to three thousand million metres per second; taking into account relativity would mean following the device at any speed would me it's not travelling at the speed from the observer's point of view. I have deduced that it would look, rather dull actually. The device would probably just disappear; you might see some photon lensing around the edges if your lucky.

On a slightly saner note, I've finally got my phone line in now; but BT in their wise ways have decided not to install my broadband at the same time. The plan is to send the engineer home and then get another one back several days later! ingenious! It really baffles me.

Sometimes I think the universe of the 'Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' is more realistic than the one I'm in. At least with a bit of temporal reverse engineering, I would not only be on the internet now; but would also of downloaded everything I ever wanted too.

Ahh the mind kind wander...

Bri$hit Telecoms

Still no Internet

Damn BT, why the hell do they keep lying? I know it's going to take some time to install my line, be why should they keep telling me 'It'll be installed later today'? Is it some requirement that all BT staff must promise things they have no intention or way of sticking to?

My installation is over a week late now, my last official line was:
'There were not enough lines at the exchange...'

Okay that sounds bad, so now you're telling me that anyone wanting to be connected within the 10mi radius of the exchange are now just as screwed as me? How the hell long is it going to take to install new lines? Why can I just get a simple answer.

Give the choices I'm tempted to just walk over to the exchange and collar the nearest BT engineer.

I'll continue to post in protest until I get compensation damn it!

Holy $#!7 I've got a blog

Yes yes, I know 'why' you ask?

Why has it taken a complete geek like me, so damn long to get a blog?
The truth is I don't really know, maybe it was because I didn't see the point? or because I'm just too damn lazy; yeah that sounds more likely. More to the point I was concerned about keeping it updated, as with most of my projects; I never complete them!

Anyway thanks to a friend of mine I've finally opened myself up to the web. Plus I need something like this to do the typical thing of announcing the incoming birth of my first child! How cool is that! Okay things like that are why loads of people start these things up.

I guess I should use this space to explore my thoughts about the web or something and get all philosophical or something. Ha, yeah right. Well maybe, just maybe, a crazy outlet like this will finally give me enough of a boot up my a$$ to get some of my projects finished.

Well until I get something interesting to talk about I'm gonna log out, so until next time; Robin you've got your way, I hope you realize what you've done!
