Geek table quiz anyone?

30/04/2007

I think this may have been done before, but what the hell. Anyone up for it? I’m thinking questions like “do you know who CmdrTaco is” and “what’s his real name so, brainbox”? In Cork for preference, but I’d travel if the majority were in some other god-forsaken town that thinks it’s the capital of Ireland.

Gimme some feedback first, and if all goes well I can take questions and answers by email, what with me being a lazy bastard an’ everthing. If you have a blog pass it on please, nobody reads mine and I have a tshirt to prove it.

UK War drivers arrested

This kind of bollocks drives me demented. In separate incidents, a man and a woman “received a caution for dishonestly obtaining electronic communication services with intent to avoid payment”. How are they avoiding payment when they’re simply using a publicly-available connection? It’s the clueless dickwad that left his or her connection open that should be locked up. Their rig is probably spewing out all sorts of shite anyway, we should at least do them for littering.

Clever government

Not ours obviously, the British one. They’re giving away energy monitors to anyone that requests one. I’d bet this is the first step on the road to mandatory energy monitoring and limits, via the fashion victims that’ll jump on the bandwagon when the greenies start putting these in their homes. Or am I giving Gov.uk too much credit? That’s the way I’d do it anyway.

Sorry for the lack of posts btw, I’ve been moving house. Yes, again.

What’s in a name?

No doubt some of these will turn up False on Snopes, but most are probably true.

Did you know why Amazon.com is called Amazon.com. I have to confess, I didnt.

Here’s the full source list, from Wikipedia.

This week’s ENN faux pas

10/04/2007

ENN: “In a lesson no doubt relevant to Irish banks, Britain’s banking sector has been told to jizz up its customer databases to effectively target the female market.”

It’s “jazz” Maxim. Jizz is something completely different.

I know, I know, but at least one person I know hasn’t actually see this.

(When I was a kid I didn’t watch Knight Rider at the start because I thought it was about… knights. Of the round table variety. So blond.)
