Hey peeps, just something linzi showed me thats really interesting, watch the following video and count the number of passes of the ball between people. Dont count the bounces, just the passes.
Comment with how many passes you count

Heres the page with the video on it, it uses a Java applet for some reason so make sure uve got that installed.

Go on, go count the passes

Now once uve watched the video and counted all the passes watch the video again without counting…

Quite simply, last year my house mates (you know who you are) bought me a lovely pair of Fire Poi. Now this seems like a good pressie for a juggly type person like myself. However, i had absolutly NO idea how to use the buggers…. till now. Miskin has provided me with lessons from Simon in how to do Poi. I just needed 10 minutes with someone who knew what they were doing and i was set. I can now do simple stuff but its a start.
So i was chatting to linzi about Labyrinth, and specifically the Dog from it (Ambrosius) and then got chatting about Contact Juggling (Bowies character does it) then followed the Wiki

“Happy slapping” a term for the most chavish sport around where the objective is to randomly beat the shit/slap about a random passerby while recording said event on mobile phone. I just cant see what the hell the point is, and i pray that alot of these w*nkers get arrested. BUT if that cant be done, then i pray this happens alot more… the slappers victim, not best pleased about being hit in the face, decided to hit back, laid the guy out in one punch then kicked him in the ribs… hows that for a happy slap?
The video is a bit fuzzy (the mobile phone is obviously a bit shite)

I’m not entierly sure why i was looking at my old uni user space last night at godawful times of the morning, but i decided to update its front page to point to warmfusion.co.uk. To do that i logged in via Webdav (well.. i used NetDrive to map it to a drive letter) and i found all sorts of cool stuff.

Warmfusion along the ages
Warmfusion Original
The user site is the original edition of my new alias of warmfusion created back in early 04. Sitting on the floor of my grans house at Xmas designing a new madtaj website i decided to scrap the name for something new and easier to spell. After much thinking warmfusion

I updated the Notices page on Planet Comscare with news that i was thinking of making a noo theme, I couldnt help myself and added a few sneaky features already. You may have noticed the little + next to the titles of each post, its the beginning of a cookie based system of showing/hiding all posts from users or wotever so you only see posts from people u want to (ie, not urself as u know what uve written).
The other less noticable feature is the navigation bar has been upgraded so you can place stuff where you want it, again this isnt complete as i dont actually store your prefered layouts etc but after half hour work

Despite the uncategorical devotion of people like Mike and Croxy to this language framework called Ruby on Rails I am still a skeptic. Sure, its nice to be a lazy programmer and create a blog in 15 minutes, but do you know how it WORKS. if you get the darknexus classic error of “APPLICATION ERROR” does that really help you find out what you’ve done wrong or if its even a flaw in the overall framework. I have many critisisms of principles Rails but as i freely admit, i have not tried the language out itself as of yet. What with projects and web-dragon work not to mention a certain lady i havnt had the

You know the anti spam measures used on websites, those annoying boxes of garbled text convoluted in such grotesque manners to usualy require concentration and a level of guesswork that just isnt needed in the modern day.
Enter Oli, a random guy who got fed up of the boxes filled with symbols and wanted a new method of authentication. In a stroke of genius (althou ive seen similar methods, but nothing this cute) he created the Kitten Authentication System. All you need to do is click the three kittens on the page to be authenticated, simple yet adorable
