Cool drek of the Week

I thought I had seen cool when I saw Google Maps.
Then they added satellite images and that made it cooler.

Then I saw Google Earth. I said to myself:

Self, it can't get cooler than this.

Then I saw this week's cool Googletoy: http://moon.google.com.
Damn... Now that is cool.

Other cool stuff... Longhorn is no more, behold Windows Vista.
The FreeBSD project will be unveiling a new logo. Check back at the link for results.

I almost forgot...

Many congratulations to Mag and C on their engagement!

We'll see you in August.

the heat wave breaketh...

...and I no longer envy the citizens of Dakar their cooler weather. I'm serious.
That's one odd thing about the climate here; we'll see -30 celsius in January and 42 celsius in July.
Gets expensive on the wardrobe front, ye ken?

Working from home is easier, now that I don't sweat off 3 pounds of water a day just attempting to write. If only the scripts would work, I'd be a happy man.

Junk food of choice: two way tie between salted soy nuts and Doritos Black Pepper Jack.
Album of choice: Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze.
Movie of choice: Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
Weapon of choice: the pen.

IKEA'd out... A deadline looms... Fear and Loathing settle in...

Sweet zombie Jesus.

All right first some words to the people:
Acker, best o' luck to you and Nicola in BC. I may have to take you up on that offer of couch/floor space.
To those who know what I am talking about, I won. Enough said.

If I were you, I'd leave the Doctor alone... He's a very crude man...

It was a busy day. Run out to Ikea right after brekky with the Stef, and we packed my car full of boxed furniture. And I do mean full.
As a result though, we have a new coffee table, the entertainment unit is now an entertainment unit instead of a half-assed coffee table. When I get these damn demos written, I'll have the wardrobe put together and a whole lot of shit put in order.

In the meantime it's... shit, it's five after one... I have a deadline looming and I'm short on demos. The virtual lab is not co-operating with me. The situation is becoming grim. I will need some coffee in short order. Or possibly Jaegermeister. Either way, it will have to be in quantity.

The fact that Bravo has Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on is not helping my productivity either.

...[g]roovy. Grooooooovy!

Right... the Fear is upon me... I must press on, damn the torpedoes.

Where the hell are my cigarettes?

London Bombs

Hey, McNuts! If you're alright drop Graham or I an email, OK buddy? Look forward to hearing from you.

Damn...

Well as a friend said yesterday in an email: "we were due for a while [...] but all my friends are ok.. so i guess i'm lucky." Indeed.

I turned on the BBC World Service yesterday looking for some news on the G8 Summit. I was then unable to change the channel for two hours.

We're going to be hearing about this for a long time to come I think. And it isn't going to get any better.
