Just been watching Sky and was watching “Hoax Files” and was laughing all the way through it. But my favourite is a hoax made by one of the largest organisations around. The year was 1957, the date, the notorious 1st of April, the culprit, the BBC. Thats right, the beeb broadcast an episode of Panorama, highly respected documentary show, with an article about how the mild winters of 1956 had lead to a bumper havest of spaghetti in the swiss farms.
Fantastically, a huge number of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To which the BBC diplomatically replied that they should “place

Ok, so its been a while since i bloged, and in a break from tradition i’m going to say what ive actually been doing of late. After getting quite drunk last friday night at Solus i had to manage a slight hangover to get home to mums house to look after cats on my way to going to the Isle of Wight. Got up midday sat and went shopping for mams xmas pressie, missed two trains home which was a bugger, ended up sitting on the platform for 45 mins reading the Second Magicians Guild book - The Novice its very good. But i was frozen by the time an anouncment came saying my train was on a diff

Ok, i just realised that most people probably dont even know this exists yet. So just in case i’ll warn thee all.
No longer do u have to check +5 blogs to see if anyone has posted, nor use clever software to tell you, for neil has setup a Planet for us to use. I tried making my own RSS aggregator, and it worked real nice as well, apart from James dates causing problems. But now, after coaxing james to actually fix his damn code, we have a working planet.
planet.warmfusion.co.uk
Hurrah for us.
Update: Since setting up the planet, neil realised that he’d have to turn off the machine it

Creepy as they look, these are very cool. Basically some crazy dutch company is selling Roses and Chrysanthemums which have been sprayed with a non toxic chemical which makes the flowers glow for a few hours after the lights have been turned off.
At first i thought it might have been some crazy hybrid of jellyfish DNA with the flower DNA, but no such luck… althou they have made Glow in the dark Mice. Gotta love those Crazy Japanese Scientists
What next i wonder… i think itd be handy to have glow in the dark stair rails for late night house wandering, or how about glowing metal powered by the heat from ur fingers,

For all the ladies out there in need of girly rock guitar happenings, nows ur chance, Fender have teamed up with Hello Kitty to produce a range of branded electric guitars.
Needless to say they’re prolly hella expensive, pink and girly, but if ur the type to want one, check them out. Goth chicks will never look so chic. Its just a shame the girls who are portraied on the website seem to be pampered teenie bopers who only have a Kitty Fender cos they have the rest of the Kitty Range… a shame…
I’m sure the kitty face can be modded for that devilish look needed. Bandaids, Electrical Tape, maybe a few red felt markers can

Floating aroudn the interweb as i do so well, i rolled over onto a site demonstrating what happens to hotlinkers on websites.
For people out of the loop: Hotlinking is where a website on one domain, g www.warmfusion.co.uk directly links to an image from another domain, www.bbc.co.uk without any reference to that other site. While this doesnt sound too bad, the other site is paying for the data transfer for that image without any return of visitors etc. Also there are copyright issues, but often not severe ones.
So yeah, this site decided that rather than just blocking the images for remote sites (which is easy) they’d replace them with something funnier. Often people link to images directly on forums etc

Aparently, its worth around four and a half thousand dollars. Aparently its worked out based on the dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal. So now you know. Shame i cant turn that around into REAL cash thou… i wudnt mind selling my blog for a few grand. It’d help me setup a new blog somewhere and get some nice toys to play with.
Any takers?

This is frankly astounding for its implications on modern data processing. Scientists at the University of Florida have managed to culture a ‘brain’ of 25,000 neurons laid over a grid of 60 electrodes which are able to control a simulation of an f-22 on a desktop computer. “When we first hooked them up, the plane ‘crashed’ all the time,” Dr DeMarse said. “But over time, the neural network slowly adapts as the brain learns to control the pitch and roll of the aircraft. After a while, it produces a nice straight and level trajectory.”
The results of this research will almost certainly affect a great deal in the realms of machine vision, data mining and control
