How long has it been...

This site is fantastic. It has to be if it made me log on to blogger: The Infinite Cat Project

A few other things I have been enjoying lately:
- C4 games page
- Gmail I have an addy there, hurray!

2003-11-11T13:47:00.000Z

What could be the most popular football video game these days? The answer is here!

2003-11-11T11:58:00.000Z

I don't know how come I'd never came across that page from urban75 before: Things to do when you are bored.

2003-11-11T08:57:00.000Z

Biff! Bang! Pow! Wank! You've got to love the sounds in comics, particularly in this panel

Today's game: Find the rabbits hidden on the page. Not as easy as it sounds.

B3ta's real names page had me laugh too.

From the Sigur Ros messageboard, I've been compiling a list of some of the best quotes. As in most ridiculous, and showing how listening to Sigur Ros can really affect your mental abilities. Read here.

Another animal special!
Thank god most people have realised that hamsters, especially dancing ones, are so 99. But some still haven't over come their kittens obsessions.
Anyhow, BBC news continue to provide us with animal stories on a regular basis, as can be seen here or there.
The question is, what animals should succeed kittens to be our new favourite animals on the web. Here are the ones I tip:
- Monkeys
- Lemurs
- Double-Wattled Cassowaries

2003-07-07T09:03:00.000Z

Ouch, too long once again!

Ascii-style rendition of the Matrix. Some other films on this site, but not as impressive as this.

2003-06-03T09:36:00.000Z

You might remember "Tunak Tunak", well the good news is, the "Badshah of Indipop", Daler Mehndi has a new flash site!

Reading the news today:
Ryanair expects to be 'bigger than BA'. I surely won't help them, esp. if their flights to Paris are more expensive than BA's flights.

2003-05-19T10:45:00.000Z

What is going in the UK regarding animals? First this badger story last week. And now it's a ferret causing havoc!

Oh, and here's a cannabis stoner name generator! I am "mad nickelbag" apparently.

2003-05-19T09:49:00.000Z

Interesting story of Usenet from Google. And this is the creation of alt.sex.

2003-04-22T12:09:00.000Z

An Audiogalaxy clone is born, hurray for GLT Poliane! It's only got few users, and therefore not many files so far, so spread the word to try and make it bigger.

2003-04-17T15:59:00.000Z

M.S.S is even more popular than I thought: Read this and buy the doll!

2003-04-17T11:23:00.000Z

Help Popbitch survive by buying their T-shirts! As a tribute to John Leslie, the design is really classy, see it here!

The war in Iraq has created a rather unlikely web celebrity: Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf. Welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com has his best quotes and a few other funny pages.

2003-04-10T09:12:00.000Z

Yay! Metro don't archive the news, but they keep their collection of bizarre stories online! They can be accessed here.

2003-04-02T09:41:00.000Z

Better link for the Backfire security hoax :)

2003-04-01T13:48:00.000Z

Interesting review from distrowatch.com: Windows XP - An Operating System You Can Trust :D

2003-04-01T10:32:00.000Z

And here's another new programming language: based on Orwell's 1984 Newspeak, here comes Newcode

2003-04-01T10:03:00.000Z

April Fools Day special!
Here are the first hoaxes of the day:

The new White Space programming language.

The Gentoo Linux distribution, does a complete switch and moves from source to .rpm

My favourite one so far: Backfire security free software hits back at hackers!

Probably more to come later today :)

2003-03-28T12:01:00.000Z

I really haven't updated this enough lately, so here are some hopefully quality pages:

Some Americans are really taking the piss, with freedom fries, patriotic ice-cream etc... Fortunately, when other Americans take the piss out of those, it can be very funny :) I was a bit pizzled by this site at first, but it simply cannot be serious, replace liberty with Ronald Reagan, wahey!

More good news: TV Go Home is back!

Home-redesigned PC are nothing new, but Teh Box has something more and it really is an uberleet computer. I can't seem to access the site this morning (must check whether it's been plugged on /. or fark, which would explain why) but you can try the Google cache version.

Last but not least! This page lists the Top 10 gayest websites!

2003-03-14T10:51:00.000Z

Bizarre special:

Study Underwater Basket Weaving in an American university.

Some kind of traditional medicine is getting banned in Cameroon.

True story or St Patricks Day hoax? The cow that was saved by Guinness.

2003-03-10T09:21:00.000Z

I'm not that fond of kittens and Electric Six, but "Girl, I wanna take you to a gay bar" is brilliant :)

Of course, the best news of the weekend: Marseille 0 - 3 PSG ! Still, why don't they always play like that?!

2003-03-07T11:02:00.000Z

Test your browser security here. Oddly enough it found no vulnerability with Phoenix, and 9 ones with IE, inc. 4 high risk one. All hail m$....

2003-03-07T10:34:00.000Z

The bizarre death of a Dell laptop.

2003-03-05T09:50:00.000Z

OH MY GOD: Mullet United!

2003-03-05T09:34:00.000Z

Not your typical A.I bot, but this isn't too bad: 20 questions

In case you haven't read it yet. Orwell's "1984" in downloadable format.

2003-02-26T11:23:00.000Z

Why don't I check out Urban75 more often? Now they have a blog too - not mentioning Cardiff City FC results all the time fortunately, and I've found 2 brilliant Dubya links there:

Tens of Bush supporters take to the streets is a cool pisstake, but even better, you can now make your own Bush speech. It could be better with more words, but already very funny as it is.

2003-02-24T12:03:00.000Z

Yet another silly game, funny but not as addictive as others: Save babies that Wacko Jacko is throwing from balconies!

And following the likes of Arse or Elbow, Fake or Real boobs, Gash or Tash, here is Despot or Sexpot.

2003-02-19T15:56:00.000Z

Hmm, it looks like it is not working, and now I'm worried for my former Vic+Bob (+George Dawes) links.
Hip Hop is still the best here :)
Not sure about Ray Mears, and some other links look great, but I want to wait til I see them on telly first.

2003-02-19T15:42:00.000Z

I'm getting lazy at updating this :)
Maybe I've been playing Gridlock too much?

And I've been wondering what explains the difference between the smiling levels of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Ideas anyone?

Man Utd made us laugh too. First Ryan Giggs's miss vs Arsenal in the FA Cup. (If anyone has the video, please send it to me, or at least a link!). Then the Ferguson/Beckham incident. This article, on the BBC website as well, gives an interesting insight into the incident and its possible consequences :)

This just reminded me of a funny quiz on that same website, but due to BBC Choice becoming BBC3, I can't find it anymore :/ Let's hope Google's cached version keeps on working. Apparently I should support Middlesbrough.

2003-02-14T12:17:00.000Z

The new trend this week among some stupid Americans is "Slag off the French using all the clichés we can find". See the very subtledly(sp?) named http://www.fuckfrance.com and this article from the NY Post.

Fortunately there have been some nicer things on the web as well this week :)
For a start I should have linked to the Elftor comics earlier on.
And Zookeeper is a nice diamond-style game. Only managed to get about 11,000 points so far, but I will improve!

2003-02-07T12:02:00.000Z

Glasgow wouldn't be what it is without neds and goths (who apparently like Vivaldi as well as Slipknot). Test your ned/slapper potential on the Chewin' The Fat website.

How well can you type without looking at the keyboard? Oddly enough, I do not find this game easy at all.

2003-02-04T09:21:00.000Z

Stop sending stupid stuff from your work or school email! Story from theregister. Looks like Jeeves wasn't too happy about it!

2003-02-03T11:33:00.000Z

Gulf War II or where Dubya and his friends could be taking us, lovely flash animation. The rest of the site seems to be quite cool too.

We all had fun warming our pussies, but now we can dress our gay dogs. Flash 6 required.

2003-01-31T09:33:00.000Z

Nerds might be an endangered species - no need to fly to Australia economy class to develop DVT according to this article.

Also in the news this week, the latest trendy weapons in Germany seem to be "Kartoffelkanone" or "potato bazookas".

Homo-erotic footie fan fiction here. I haven't read it yet, but it sure looks interesting... Let's call this the weekly selected link from the popbitch newsletter.

In case you didn't know this already, orisinal.com has loads of cute flash games and animations. Personal favourites are "Pocketful of Stars" and "Bubble Bees".

2003-01-28T10:58:00.000Z

Here's a killer drinking game for tonight if you're in the US: The state of the union address drinking game.

2003-01-23T09:51:00.000Z

From the Popbitch newsletter (subscribe!): Porn star Jeff Stryker has recorded an album of country songs, including "Pop You In the Pooper." Download the MP3s here: http://www.lgcma.com/lgcma-jeffstryker.htm

Cutie Japanese smilies here. You know, the ones that go like this (-_-)

More proof that M$ are evil from the Register.

You thought weird court cases such as the woman suing McDonalds after she spilt her coffee on herself could only happen in the U.S, but no! In Scotland as well, and about as surreal if not more. http://www.news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=86002003.

2003-01-20T13:47:00.000Z

This is funny! Fark.com have a Slashdot photoshop challenge :)

And here's a nice site about alphabets and other writing systems.

And a very topical test from b3ta.com : Nonce or Babysitter?

2003-01-17T14:19:00.000Z

Hands That Do Dishes Can Be Soft As Your Flokemon. More funky slogans at http://www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan!

And here is a good TCPA FAQ, or how "Trusted Computing" means computing that can breach your security and privacy more than anything.

2003-01-16T14:39:00.000Z

The new (erm autumn 2002 on BBC Choice) series of Shooting Stars can be hilarious. Check George Dawes's nordic song, and hopefully, if it's still online Bob Mortimer as Ray Mears.

I've started a new page on this blogger thing, even though it doesn't stick to the strict definition of blog. I'm not the BOFH but sometimes I wish I could be :) See how thick people can be HERE!

2003-01-13T09:50:00.000Z

Here's a new internet cult, that I'm sure some people will be happy to join: it is called Kababism. Definition: The belief that Kabab is a truly unifying (and satisfying) factor.

Booh to the football sites that ask you to register so you can view their news. I won't even link to it directly due to that. Anyway, see if you can access this article. It's got a few funny quotes.

Born Sloppy 10 days didn't show the full footage of Minute Man live, with Bez unleashed from the cage. Here is what they did not show. Basically at first it looked like Bez didn't want to leave the cage, then he just stood still for almost the whole song. Until this. Nice of C4 to put that online anyway :)

2003-01-10T13:51:00.000Z

In case you didn't find her annoying enough yet, soon coming to your mail boxes: Avril Lavigne:The Virus. As per usual only m$ OS's affected.

If you like bizarre stuff: click here. It looks like something about rabbits and biscuits. .co.jp obviously.

2003-01-08T10:05:00.000Z

Yeah, been a while, but I deserved hols.
Anyway, big disillusion today. Why do scientists have to try ruin our sci-fi dreams of multiple dimensions etc? Apparently, the calculation of the speed of gravity would rule multiple dimensions out. Boo!

2002-12-20T23:20:00.000Z

I need to bookmark THIS!

2002-12-20T15:15:00.000Z

SFA OK! Super Furries rule: Gruff Rhys plays Silent Night. I would have been pissed off had I been to that night though :)

2002-12-17T10:34:00.000Z

If you haven't seen it before, then it's time to take the "24 hour party people" quiz, and to see what the answer to "Who would you be?" can be. Last time it said "Peter Hook", but fortunately, I'm getting "Bez" today. Must have been the question about freaky dancin (Salut Pure Staïle).

I was listening to Clyde 1 FM on the bus this morning, mainly because George Bowie is not as irritating yet as Sara Cox, and he called Fame Academy winner David Sneddon "The pride of Paisley". So then I was wondering what else do Paisley have to be proud about. Which led me to think that maybe that wasn't totally wrong. What next though? Martin Compston "Pride of Greenock"? He was on Offside yesterday, and Tam Cowan offered him a bottle of Buckie, which I thought was an appropriate present.

2002-12-16T11:26:00.000Z

I haven't really read Slashdot much lately. Interesting ones today though. Now we'll be getting audio CD's with spyware for a start, and we can all be amazed at how good at maths the RIAA is: 156=421.

Anyway, for something funnier if you've got time to waste, go play Spot the Clifference at b3ta.com.

2002-12-16T08:39:00.000Z

This is scary, esp. on a Monday morning: BBC World are doing the World's Top Ten, where you can vote for your favourite song. Apparently, the English language song that has received most votes so far is "Believe" by Cher. Makes you wanna go back to bed.

2002-12-13T13:59:00.000Z

Yay! Tonight is the final of the Fame Academy. I would have liked Ainslie to win because he was such a wanker, but he's out, so now it looks like David will win. Anyway, if that means more quality articles in the Daily Record such as this one then I suppose it's fine :)

2002-12-13T12:32:00.000Z

Help me find a new title for my blog after comments following my last post! You can email me your suggestions by clicking here.

Funniest picture I was sent by email in a while. It's actually from consumptionjunction.com (but I'm not linking to that site), but I've put it up at this address. Fyi, in the 80s, Michael Jackson had bought the rights to the Beatles songs. We now know for what purposes.

Another thing that made me laugh is Bush Grammar. Try not to be too much transformationed by it though.

2002-12-12T15:22:00.000Z

Here's 2 for Harri if he's reading. Jonjon should enjoy as well. Posted on memepool a few days ago.
Both are the sane kind of lists. Here for the 1st one, and here's the second.

2002-12-12T11:20:00.000Z

Fed up with Popstars? Noticed how almost every act are releasing their singles one week ahead because they didn't want a clash with the 2 bands from Popstars the rivals? Well, Death In Vegas are releasing "Scorpio Rising" feat Liam Gallagher, and that might get to number 1. Even though the single is shite, and apparently sounds like a Status Quo song. But well, we want them to be number 1. I'm surprised to see the Sun campaigning for them as well according to the DIV site. All I could find on the Sun website was this, which is fairly neutral. Features the video anyway.

2002-12-11T14:27:00.000Z

First time! Yes, that's me being lazy here. Using Blogger. This is just text! I could use Arachnophilia or Notepad (yes, w2k, i'm at work), but decided not to be arsed. And this is just to publish links anyway.

Anyway, I'm afraid most of the links I'll post here will be taken from other blogs (or close to blogs) such as Memepool, B3ta or Slashdot.

I still need to get used to the Blogger HTML web editor thingie, not sure whether the links open in a new window or not, and a few things like that. I don't want to do anything fancy, but I don't want to type all the HTML in case I want something that is not their standard. Lazy.
