Toby bought me a llama from Marwell Zoo for my birthday - happy lidna :D All it needs now (apart from a ruff and sunglasses) is a name - any suggestions?

<yoda>
Reverse polish notation speak in I do, yes!
</yoda>


Toby:
<yoda>
Good my Yoda voice is, yes!
In obscure sentence order speak I shall.
Hmm. Green muppet, I am not - Jedi master am I.
</yoda>

And as for unsigned multiplication:

<song name="Hokey Cokey">
You push the low bit in,
You pop the hight bit out,
In out, in out,
And OR it all about...
</song>


jimmy:
Yet again, Cheesey says the wrong thing.

Toby... your Yoda voice is quite good, isn't it?


Keith:
Mmm! With Yoda vocalising it should be done with. Mmm.

I appear to be on a wee caffene high. Which is good. It is also good that I realised today I like being a Mathematician, and worked out how to change an unsigned 32x32bit fixed point multiply into a signed one. By adding two numbers in the right place. I was pleased :)

And er, fnoo wibble, where's that gerbil? (for those who didn't get the last bit)

Cheesey: that's not a multi-dimentional mental abberance. It's a hamster. You sick freak.

Linda: Repercussion instuments? Like percussion instruments? Just ones that repercuss?

(Perhaps this was too predicatable, if so take it as a satirical comment on the "pun or play on words"-type post in this blog).


Lidna:
oops... i'm not sure the human race is evolved enough to fully comprehend that thought, i don't know what repercussion instruments that could have on the future of humanity...


cheesey:
Very good. I applaud your study of multi-dimentional mental abberances.

Can I have one, in batter, to take home please?


Toby:
I like the idea of "dimentions" - kinda like a cross between "demented" and "dimensions"?

Now we know where all the looneys come from - they're simply multi-dimentional ;)


Lidna:
Personally, i find english difficult. I miss speaking the language from my home planet. It's hard getting used to a 3 dimentional language after speaking in 4 dimentions for so long.


Toby:

Oh dear...

With which language have you been confussling yourself, Sir?

May I recommend a course of [or in] FORTH to clear the old mental tubules?

Or not?


Toby:
C typedefs and pre-C99 structs...

Why?

What possessed anyone to build such a horrid arsenal of mis-features into a language?

I myself thought it was a mock-up, what with Cherie looking quite frightened as the hordes of Gingerbread men come to take revenge. Mwhahahah!

Ok, enough of that. Me had good day at work. Going to go home for a nice relaxing weekend.

And perhaps even some C0d0ring. Nah.

Rob: could you txt me which mobile numbers you're using? I seem to have 3 of them!

cheesey:
Toby: Dammit, why don't they just come clean and admit that the whole thing is running off a pair of BBC micros with redefined character sets? [ah, fond memories of the VDU command...]

Jimmy: I could have sworn those were mongooses... or mongeese... or whatever, until I actually read the story. Shame on you for spoiling my dreams... Blairs various being corralled, terrified, by hordes of hungry rodents... sniffle sniffle go their little whiskers... I can feel their teeth now...


jimmy:


Thanks to the unique way the BBC is funded. You make it what it is.

Does anyone understand what that is? Perhaps not. Ah well.


Lidna:
we'll have to go there for a drink sometime ;)


jimmy:
There actually exists a pub called the Cock and Swallow. I had questionairres from it to type in today.

I was just sitting at my desk laughing for about a minute straight.

Sorry, just had to tell someone.


Toby:
Cheesey: Of course I know the Matrix is in Unicode (watch either movie and look out for the odd occasional geometic or Oriental glyph), but if you watch closely on the films, at no point does the Matrix use dipthongs or compound accented characters. The Matrix, therefore, must have been viewed during those film sequences using only a certain limited encoding of Unicode, hence my rendering was perfectly correct - I was merely following Internet standards and normalizing to UTF-8.


#87:
are you sure it's not visual basic? I'm sure I saw the corner of a dialog box somewhere in the lobby scene....


cheesey:
You ph00l ... as you ought to know, The Matrix uses Unicode... it's written in Java, which is why time seems to drag so...


Toby:


(I was going to do it as embedded HTML, but the page template barfed at it)


Wednesday, July 23

cheesey:
Toby is everywhere... he is the matrix.

That explains a lot, actually.

Oh, and I got the impression that the llama was actually doing the cryogenication... [that's not a word, it ought to be] - there's no need for absolute zero if you've got a llama... just the mere presence causes some kind of quantum thingy [technical term] which can cause the flow of time to be slowed in the immediate vicinity...


Lidna:
I just have an image of a laminated llama, that's very disturbing :P

Toby: how did you just post despite supposedly being in southampton with no internet connection and showing no signs of being online???


Toby:
Incidentally, you could always try it for real, using Acme Cryogenics and a handy llama... (stainless steel tubing optional)


jimmy:
Hip claims? He was so hip he couldn't see over his pelvis, remember? Not claims. He was hip.

And as for the llama, it's got to have an extra arm too. Although I get the feeling I want to combine llamas and Deus Ex now, and that's not good. At all.


Toby:
* Considers the merits of using llamas in place of cryogenics... *

Nope, I fail to see how a sub-zero llama could be of any aid in preserving items in suspended animation. I realise that Zaphod Beebelbrox claimed to be so cool you could keep a side of meat on him for a month, but I doubt that llamas could make similarly hip claims. Not unless you found one with two heads, of course.

(And yes, I do realise that a multi-headed, sub-zero llama is a prime candidate for Photoshopping - please feel free ;) )


jimmy:


Or I set the llamas on you all...

Llamination? Didn't they do that on Han Solo? That kind of freezing thing?


cheesey:
Toby: We need to implement that DDE annoyance on someone at some point. Remind me.

To wider audience: I suggest we remove the concept of nomination from the English Language base concept-set and replace it with llamination - to this end, I suggest we forcibly perform this action on the entire "elected" government as a kind of trend-setter.

jimmy:
Ouch. The pain, the pain, etc.


Toby:
Ah... I see Mr. Jimbly has been fixing the template...

And editing my posts too! Bad Jimbly! Beat him! Beat him with oversized furry dice I say! ;)


jimmy:
No, if you'd been around me too long you'd be imagining them sealing they house and sucking out most of the air, Stephs' eyes bulging out of their sockets with the low pressure like Schwarzenegger in Total Recall...

I like your idea more. Although my way, you get to kill all the housemates quickly, and now.


Lidna:
actually, that could be an alternative to "nominations" just let the llamas in each week - whoever can't take it any more (or gets pecked to death) leaves.

For some reason i find the image of the big brother "housemates" running in all directions, closely followed by llamas attempting to peck them to death very appealing - i think i've been around jimmy too long!! :P


Lidna:
I say we let the llamas loose in the Big Brother house!!

peck, peck, peck...

Yay! Personalizable Warbeck, now available in Linda-esque, Mint fresh, or Terminally broken (probably IE only) edition ;)

Hint: Jimmy - you might think about entity escaping your GET data :P


jimmy:
Sorry. I thought the grey was a bit dull myself, and was trying to make it look a bit colourful. Ah well - I think my sense of appropriate colors may be a bit broken.


Toby:
A perfect example of the dangers of too much everything2 :P

Oh, and who the hell changed the background to olive green? I much preferred it grey - we're not playing solitaire y'know!

Well... I have a couple of invitations lined up, now that they work - but this is metablogging, which is best relegated to ... I don't know... purgatory? Where all the chad from card punches go and get under your feet? And those snakes of paper from the sides of lineprinters coil themselves treacherously about your knees? And the wonderful agoraphobic mandelbrot forests gybe melodiously and melancholically by the light of the seven moons?

jimmy:
Are any of us with the ability to invite actually social enough to want to invite anyone else?

It's already a bit scary in here. Too... many... monkeys...


cheesey:
This is true. Now, the invite button even works... hedonism knows no bounds! :-\


jimmy:
This problem gets remedied by that "Invite" button. Were we to use it. I think it's probably there as a deterrent to other blogs, much like America's nukular arsenal is there (supposedly) merely as a deterrent, because it is much too terrible a weapon to actually use.

Did that make any sense? No? I'll go to sleep then. Sorry.

mmmm....PVC, vibrating, glow in the dark bondage brick - I want one!!!


cheesey:
Nature has prior art on the concept of the cosmic goatse.


jimmy:
Alex: C is for cool, which that is. Did you make it yourself? Or did this mysterious Hazel help you?

Toby: that photoshop isn't finished yet, you need a GOATSE where the deflector dish is. (Sorry everyone). And perhaps Orc Detectors (don't ask if you don't know already) as your warp nacelles?


Toby:
No, that is most definitely the Starship SheepSurprise - its continuing mission to split infinitives with a loud bleating noise. The female equivalent looks more like Buzz Lightyear and moves very fast. Don't ask :P


cheesey:
Llama - the next generation! Boldly going where no llama has ever gone before!

Peck, peck, peck

Toby - are you hiding? :p


Toby:
Can you say... meme... ?

The SheepSurprise

Not a brilliant photoshop, but the material was limited (decent Star Trek shots are actually quite hard to find - as are high res. sheep).


Alex:
My new alphabet for children, to help them adjust to the real world:

A is for arse, where I would like to kick you
B is for bitch, like you mother was at parents evening
C is for consumerism, my love for all things shiney
D is for duck, for you must worship it you little sh*ts
E is for eventual, your eventual destruction
F is for fire, because arson is a way of life
G is for gay, lifes fabulous!
H is for hippy, shoot them all!
I is for illegal, what conceiving you should have been
J is for Janet, your mums lesbian lover
K is for Kwik-e-kill, the Swedish alternative to suicide
L is for love, your parents didn't want you
M is for McDonalds, to make you die a slow, and painful death
N is for New Age Travelers, see hippy.
O is for octopus, which will drag you under
P is for pubic lice, the bed bugs DO bite
Q is for Quack Quack
R is for retard, you were dropped on the head as a baby, weren't you?
S is for Seasonal Affection Disorder, argh! fear Christmas!
T is for tart, what most of the girls will be (along with 10% of the
boys)
U is for ugg, which is what 90% of the boys will be able to say after
school
V is for victims, see F.
W is for womb, because your mum shouldn't of had one
X is for Xenophobia, fear the French
Y is for Yoda, because you're a muppet
Z is for zebra, the animal of equality

Thanks to Hazel for the idea.


cheesey:
One up from a pet rock on a piece of string, certainly...


Toby:
Well, from what I know of Ms Minard's preferences, it'd have to be a vibrating bondage brick with a leather fetish...

jimmy:
Amy Studt should be llama'd till she bleeds to death too. Shouldn't take long, she's only a "little girl" you see? Ha. Ha. Ha. Perhaps we should dress her in a ruff? Perhaps the ruff attracts llamas, and makes them want to kiss Amy gently, but their beaks are too sharp and pointy, and every kiss punctures poor Amy. Poor Amy. The llamas loved her, they loved her too much.


Alex:
Love is...

I'm not available till about half-seven/eightish unless given a bit of notice as well...

(Edit: Alex may well be there :D)


Toby:
Already been to see Bruce Almighty - bloody good film. As for the others on that list: Daddy Day Care looks like yet another "Eddie Murphy saves the day" film, and Hulk is (presumably) unashamed comic book absurdity.

As for the rest, I'll leave it to you to find the reviews ;)


Tuesday, July 8

jimmy:
These films are on:

Bruce Almighty
Charlie's Angels 2
Daddy Day Care
Dumb And Dumberer
Jonny English
Hulk

(and a few others).

Can everyone now either veto or suggest one of those? That is, if anyone apart from myself and Rob are going?

I suggest Bruce Almighty.

jimmy:
If you don't have any money, Rob....

As regards smileys... Can we have that image upload thing please, Rob? Things will get... er... "fun" :D I personally have a tendancy towards interesting but scary photographic ones (blood dripping from eyes smiley, Jack Nicholson "The Shining" style ":D"s, rob (just rob looking at a camera blankly), etc.) but that's just my personal taste.


Toby:
Yay! Icon-art smilies :D
(I demand a ";P" smiley, and a ":|" which doesn't look stoned like MSN's does)

Rob - Nope, I forgot to turn cappy on this morning ;)

And, for Linda's edification: http://www.goats.com/archive/020118.html


cheesey:
Erm

Smileys sound good... is this going to spawn another thread on techmaggot?

As regards cinema - I don't know - I'm going to be over there but am somewhat skint due to Southern Vectis' obscene bus prices [£2.70 to get to Freshwater!], and I'm meant to be throwing things into boxes preparatory to removing them over here...

Toby - I was getting "No Route To Host" errors, which were decidedly alarming - which bits got turned off? :-p Or did BT lose track again?


jimmy:
I think we should have a genuinely scary smiley set on here to make things more colourful?

Does anyone want to go to the cinema with me this weekend? I'm about to shrivel from not being social enough? (No, I won't shut up until someone answers)

The ruffs should stay though. I have too many images stored up for that to go yet...

I am so bored... I have typed in 300 Brewers Fayre questionairres answered by people who can't even understand how to fill them out ("tick only one box" would have been a simple enough instruction, I'd have thought, but no)... Is anyone up for socialising soon?


Toby:
Of course: http://www.llamasforsale.com/ and http://costume.dm.net/ruffmake.html are a must, adding sprinkling of http://www.intersun.com/ to taste. Mmm... memes.

Methinks we need to avoid the llamas from now on :P

jimmy:
If we're going to keep on talking about Llamas, I suppose I better bring up Jeff Minter. For those of you who don't know your history, back a long time ago when the earth was flat and the internet was young, Jeff (or Yak) made some incredibly psychadelic and fun games (like this one), as "Llamasoft". He still does, and is still obsessed with Llamas.

If the conversation continues obsessing over medium size farm animals, I'll scan in all of the Adrian Pumphrey columns. Now that was weird.

cheesey:
Toby: You may have an idea there... hows about a warhol-esque false-colour series of MRI cross-sections of Jimmy coated in Lime Marmalade and preserved in formaldehyde? Make each one the size of a window and commandeer a skyscraper - put an LCD screen covering each window and display random permutations of false-colour lime Jimmy at huge sizes/resolutions?

Play tetris with them?

Anything at all... doesn't really matter what it is. The rest of the (upcoming redesigned - if Rob and yourself let me) site will be designed around it, whatever "It" turns out to be.

cheesey - if you're hearing voices you might find this interesting (from MeFi) - "After sailing for a while and getting really tired, the waves and sails started sounding like voices. I ignored them for a long time, but they didn't seem to do anything scary and they were mumbling anyway... ...kind of a hissy alien sound. It was the soundtrack from a cable-tv sciencefiction show. These aliens had landed at a goth disco..."

And so, I stumbled through the last of the digital bramble, tripped over the http infested undergrowth and fell into a sudden clearing. I looked up.

50 years, no actually days, sorry 50 hours, of my life poring over maps and diaries of other travellers; I had finally found this place. Surely I had a speech prepared, a grand, heart warming welcoming address.

Nope. But I will say this. "Hi" :-)


jimmy:
I am sick


cheesey:
Ben, or evilplanner, or number 87: Think back over today. What did you forget to do? ;)


#87:
cheesey: Macduff deleted his other account.

[p.s. - temporary name change]


Toby:
[root@universe God] # make toothfairy

[root@universe God] # ./toothfairy &

And lo, it was done.

evilplanner - I noticed that in your logsnippet Mr. Vader has changed his user name! Is "darth" the evil sith lord equivalent of "root"? Enquiring minds wish to know!

Alex - Have you tried advertising for one? Then again, I thought all you had to do, according to J M Barrie, was to clap your hands and say "I believe in fairies"... so, all together now...

VADER. Out, damned spot!

Alex:
See this is why geeks never take over the Universe, they play with their shells too much!

Sooo I was thinking, now that I have won the battle of the tooth fairy *ding dong the witch is dead* <---- My propaganda spin on this :-)

I will be planning the construction of the Death Star, with a new name in line with the times, so I present to you the Millennium Dome. It was a bigger disaster than the Death Star, so I want my weapon to reflect that fact.

Also I have got Apple Computers sponsoring the Millennium Dome, they will be designing consumer versions under the name: iDeath.

We now have a slight problem. We need a new Tooth Fairy, apparently without one the Universe will come to a complete standstill, errr I would tell you why but I fell asleep during the explanation. Any ideas?

I have found an indestructible material to build the new MD (DS) out of, yes, LEGO! (Plus it helps keep costs down; I don’t know where to get Neutronium from).

Luv Alex, your friendly neighbourhood Evil Galactic Dictator.

cheesey:
You know, that's the first time I've even remotely thought of Lady Macbeth and Darth Vader in the same sentence... but then again:

*** Join: Vader (~vader@oper.deathstar.org)

*** Emperor sets mode +o Vader
*** Macduff sets mode +o Macbeth
*** Macbeth has kicked Vader from #deathstar (You're stealing all my lines!)
*** Macbeth sets mode +b *!*@*.deathstar.org
*** Macduff has kicked Emperor from #deathstar (You're banned)
<Macbeth> Damn editors...

ACT II. SCENE I.
A desert place. Thunder and lightning.
Enter Lord Vader with separate end-user license agreement

FIRST MURTHERER. What, you egg!

Stabs him.

VADER. Young fry of treachery!

Dies.
Enter COMMANDER, VADER, and LUKE


LUKE. He has borne all things else that might To half a soul and to a notion crazed Say, "Thus Did Vader."
COMMANDER. Wast not the wound it makes Nor heaven peep through the roughest day?

Enter Messenger, exhausted.

COMMANDER. Worthy Vader, we stay upon your leisure.
MESSENGER. I bring great news.
VADER. Give him tending; He brings great news.

Exit Messenger, running and looking scared.
Descends.
Enter EMPEROR.


VADER. [Aside.] That which you acquired the SOFTWARE PRODUCT
contains strong encryption features. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is
not often vouch'd, while 'tis amaking, 'Tis given with welcome.
To feed were best at home; From thence the sauce to meat is
ceremony; Meeting were bare without it.
VADER. [Turning.] Well, say, sir.

EMPEROR looks sheepish and leaves.

ANGUS. As I descended?

Enter CHEESEY, knocking within.


jimmy:
Leinir, could you mail that buzz tune to me (jmc702 at soton dot ac dot uk)? If you're bored, I'm a bit stuck with where to go next with this - any ideas you've got would be very useful.

Also as requested, here are the links I have on the subject of SQUIRRELS.


cheesey:

[angus descends]


leinir:
Tie 1: Sir, we are approaching the TFC, ETA to firing range 10 clicks.
Vader: Well done, corporal, you are in charge from here.

change scene to the Tooth Fairy's Cottage (TFC)

Gnome at radar station: Madam Tooth Fairy, the tie-fighters are attacking!
Tooth Fairy: You know what to do, Mr. Something.
turns to second in command
Tooth Fairy: OK, Sir Puk, I believe you have your work cut out for you. Are you ready for this? Remember, we only get one shot at it.
Tooth Fairy's second in command: Yes, Titania, don't you worry, they'll be ready.


cheesey:
*has visions of x-wings flying low and fast over patches of bare skin, advancing on the tooth fairy's unsuspecting cottage™, with bombs armed*
