Mmmmm… Crunchy!

A coleague of mine as been having some troubles getting one of our demo appliances to boot…

Things were getting quite tense, as a major deal is totally dependant on the trial running seamlessly starting from Monday next week…

After 15 minutes, and the system had STILL not completed a boot (3rd time round), said coleague went back to the box to find a console cable…

As he is looking through the box, he sees something interesting and says:

“Oh, that’ll be it then!”

As he pulls the boot-HDD from the transport packaging.

<big grin!> ROFL - I literally Rolled On the Floor Laughing

Where the Wild Things Are meets Cthulhu - Boing Boing

BoingBoing has some interesting stuff - today was a cross between Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (or see wikipedia) and the Cthulhu mythos.

Thanks to Stilgherrian for posting this about “degrading media designations” for the germination of an idea.Over the next few days, I will be making up a series of “Degrading media designation T-Shirts” for SecondLife.

Each one will have the appropriate designation on the front, and the name of the so-degraded author/pundit/commentator on the back.

The current list of Designations is:

• “overrated misanthropic pot monster” - John Birmingham
• “consonant laden über-geek” - Stilgherrian

More will follow as I find them…

This is one of the joys of SL - sitting in a calm spot, eating bandwidth by the bucketful while chatting to your friends.

Here in Chatrez, the idylic life is often enjoyed by those wishing to just relax for a while….

Well, I thought I would be better at it than this….

But, yes, SecondLife has eaten my brain.

I play CaptainCrunch Hax in the great brain drain of our time, and I am addicted. Mostly to this game-in-a-game called Tiny Empires, but also to the 2/3rds useful, somewhat anemic scripting language called LSL (Linden Scripting Language).

And then things get EVEN more interesting….
