Captain George Dubya Bush

This is Captain George Dubya Bush of the USS Internets.

Rebuild of Evangelion trailer

Camcorder footage of the trailer for the first Rebuild of Evangelion movie is online. What a relief the original style and feel has been kept, but with much more fluid animation. Jon approves.

And the trailer for J.J. Abrams mysterious and untitled movie (apparently codenamed "Cloverfield") is now available in glorious HD. So the rumours go, this one's gonna be a fight between gods and aliens right here on our little planet. Awesome!

Westward Bound

I went to Westward Bound's new shop on the Barbican this afternoon.

The website hasn't been updated to show off the new shop, so you'll only know about it if you're on the mailing list or passing by. We didn't buy anything this time, but you really ought to drop in and have a look.

Use ReiserFS...

"Use ReiserFS or I Will FUCKING KILL YOU" t-shirts now available.

Electric Bike Ride

It's kinda weird to watch a tour of your home city on an electric bike, but I like it.

Oh no... :(

Catherine Tate will playing Doctor Who's new companion next season, so reports the BBC.

For what it's worth, I've already sent my numbing disappointment to the BBC, but I'm afraid it's a done deal.

I couldn't stand that fucking Christmas episode, and I can't sit through an entire season with her. I just can't.

Bollocks. :(

A Thought

I'm not sure why this post from Megadog from January just appeared in my RSS reader, but it's too delicious to not pass on.

"The quickest way to break a system-password is to adopt a brute-force approach, applying it relentlessly to someone who knows the password." -- A thought from today's meeting...

LOL President

GODDAMN I forgot to add LOL President to that last post.

"lol andenanden an den hepuditin indabox andenhe eeted it lololol!!"

LOL iPhone

Okay, but seriously, LOL iPhone is genius.

And for those of you who saw the keynote, didn't you just wanna reach out and hug him?

OMG FLOOD

Well, the Church of England seems to be pretty sure about the cause of the flooding, and it ain't got anything to do with climate change or waterlogged catchments.

So says the Rt Rev Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle:

"We are in serious moral trouble because every type of lifestyle is now regarded as legitimate."

"Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want."

"The sexual orientation regulations are part of a general scene of permissiveness. We are in a situation where we are liable for God's judgment, which is intended to call us to repentance."

Seriously, if God's gonna start indiscriminately killing and destroying homes just because I take it up the ass, the universe is more fucked up than I thought.

From "Floods are judgment on society, say bishops", Sunday Telegraph.

I CAN HAS CONTORL PANEL?

In work this afternoon, I admitted to being interested in sticking Windows Vista on my Mac with Boot Camp.

And just as I was saying this, my boss fired up the Control Panel on his Vista machine, and was presented with an empty window. He restarted it, then was told his copy of Vista isn't genuine.

And last weekend, I spent a whole afternoon trying to get the fucking firmware update for my Skype phone to work through XP. I swear, the next time I see any mention of "MSVCR71.DLL" on my screen, I'll break something.

As much as I miss Microsoft Flight Simulator, I'm not ready to go back to Windows just yet.
