http://pointlessramblings.com Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:52:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I must have one of these. http://pointlessramblings.com/the-web-tablet/ I arrived in Northern Ireland a few hours ago, and what do I see on the houses as we drive to where we're staying: the British flag. Hurrah! Why can't the UK be like that! http://pointlessramblings.com/more-on-the-patriotic-thing/ And where's the flag, where's our proud, wonderful British flag? Where is the patriotism? I arrive at Gatwick airport, like all airports, it's not a 'nice' place, but unlike the American airports, there's no flag, there's no patriotic symbols, there is absolutely nothing telling me I'm actually back in England. Is ... http://pointlessramblings.com/back-in-the-uk/ I'm dissapointed. After you kill the beast thing that sinks your ship, I thought I had completed Act 1 or similar, but no, the whole game? That and the fact that there is no real conclusion, the aliens still remain alive. Perfect sequel line-up ending which ruins the first game ... http://pointlessramblings.com/upon-completing-crysis/ Kerplunc has just launched a new website - Resource Pile, a blog dedicated to posting about all sorts of excellent resources including the classic icon sets, photoshop brushes, textures & etc. All wrapped in a design by me :): Check out Resource Pile! http://pointlessramblings.com/resource-pile/ Leave Google/Youtube alone Viacom, you can't defeat the pirates!

Here I am for two weeks by the beachside, boiling in the lovely warm (super-insanely-hot) sun and humid atmosphere. A time to forget the world at home and relax. And, of course, use the free wifi for coding and design development by the beach! </update> http://pointlessramblings.com/from-the-sunshine-state/ I am completely obsessed with space. Not like the average 5-yr old boy playing with his toy space shuttle, I mean obsessed, mentally obsessed. When I look into the sky, I think space, when I look into the night, I think space, when I sleep, I think space. It won't ... http://pointlessramblings.com/obsessed/ Finally, yes, finally I have added some stuff to that sidebar (categories, archives, tags). Finally, I might actually get round to posting some stuff and *finally* I might get some visitors :) Why? Because exams are over, and college only has a week left! Woot. http://pointlessramblings.com/improving-the-blog/ Surprise, surprise (well, not really), Firefox has reached and surpassed it's 5-million download goal, with 8-million downloads! Thats about 83,000GB (83TB) of data, which is an insane amount. More importantly, Firefox 3 immediately as gained a 4% market share, right on day one (source: TechCrunch).
