Working as intended.

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I said I’d have a nice writeup of the spore game with pictures. Unfortunately my game’s locked up due to some screwed up bug, and as such there’s no progressive individual saved game option so I’m stuck with my one broken saved game.

Eight years of procrastination.

Spore. So far, very disappointed. Will post some more up later on.

My advice, skip the game and go anything not-EA.

Stupidity, has a plane ticket.

And so forth.

GLAMOUR swimmers Stephanie Rice and Eamon Sullivan left behind angry and sobbing fans yesterday in a sponsor’s grab for gold.

After queueing hours for an autograph, unsuspecting admirers were told the Olympic medallists would sign only Davenport-branded clothing.

After 2 1/2 hours in the Myer basement queue, St Albans woman Jade Gunn, 21, burst into tears when Rice told her: “We only do Davenport.”

Ms Gunn hurriedly got two pairs of underpants off a rack and joined the queue again.

She stood in tears after organisers then set a queue cut-off point, to end the session, in front of her.

“It’s business for them. That’s all anyone cares about these days,” she said.

Ms Gunn spent about $300 to fly to Sydney on Tuesday to get the pair’s signatures on a T-shirt, but missed them at the airport.

Ms Gunn said she had skipped work-for-the-dole job training to be there yesterday and she might lose benefits.

ARGH.

More Internet filtering nonsense

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Medium-to-large Australian ISPs routinely carry in excess of 100,000 HTTP requests per second during peak times, SAGE-AU said in a statement.

Under ideal conditions with the best-of-breed filter in place, those ISPs would be incorrectly blocking over 3,000 HTTP requests every second.

The Guild also claims the filtering regime will undo any benefits from a future Fibre to the Node (FTTN) network, due to the delays and processing required by the content filters that were tested.

Preliminary results from the ACMA study showed that five of the six filters tested degraded Internet throughput speeds by at least 22 percent.

Getting the band back together.

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

I started playing WOW again. Lo’ and behold the band’s getting back together. Most by coincidence it seems.

So far we’ve got most people back like Crixie, Harrina, Peddler, Doy, Inter, Seqo and probably a couple others.  Apparently Gerbie’s still lacking so he hasn’t returned yet.

Getting back together.

Also Doy’s Monday segment’s gone AWOL.

This is something that we need to keep a lookout for.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said the government will soon trial blocking prohibited and “additional” material in a live pilot with ISPs using the filters. Computerworld

In other news we’ve almost got the band back together. We just need Gerbie to pull his arse up and grab his banjo.
