The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

There’s nothing I love more than badly translated manuals and websites, and the homepage of KWorld is the best example I’ve seen in ages. Apparently: Want to have high quality digital TV, but not be able to give up analog TV? Annoyed by your big and ugly IT hardware which can’t fit in your stylish?

What an absolutely beautiful movie – right up to the point where it suddenly has the most miserable ending in movie history. I’m now thoroughly depressed. Bah.

Well, it always does really. I generally class the honeymoon period of a new job as the period of time between walking through the door for the first time and the moment where I type vi munge.pl. So, that halcyon period of belief that every single person around me has clue has ended horribly. A

I love it when bloggable things happen at work. Due to a bizarre experiment involving a wall, a whiteboard, all the blu-tack in the universe and an infeasibly large number of natural language programmers, systems bods, and developers, we’ve managed to prove exactly what it says in the title. Technically, I suppose, it wasn’t the

Or that’s how it seemed. After what seems like an eternity of listening to music on mp3 players and laptops, we finally got our nice shiny hifi set up last night. Between the big chunky toroid transformers and the fairy-dust powered magical crossover in Linn speakers, we dragged Nina off the surface of the disc

Urm. Well, it’s been a bit busy of late. On the gaming front, I was playing Castlevania – Portrait of Ruin until I met a boss that killed me and set me back an hour. I was also playing Lost Magic, but then I met a boss who killed me and set me back an

The Killer Shrews, made in 1959, is everything a B-movie should be. Really really bad, really really funny, and awesome entertainment. IMDB give this film 2.5/10 which is probably 2.5 more than it actually deserves in terms of artistic merits, but who cares! Ray Kellog manages to direct this truly dreadful script with flair and

I get so many requests for my OpenPGP key these days that I thought I may as well post it here to save people asking. You can download the transport armour version here. It’s also available on the main keyserver at http://keyserver.veridis.com:11371/ under the key ID jmd at nelefa.org (but replace the at with an

I don’t, as a rule, blog about music because I listen to so much of it that I’d never get anything else done. This album, though, warrants an entry for its sheer ACENESS. I find that I get so used to bands being unable to match their over-produced studio efforts on the stage that I

“Polled I/O FTL. You’d think the interrupt had never been designed. Oh. That was really quite geeky, wasn’t it?” “Yes. Yes, it was.”
