Welcome to the party
Aaron, I know its cool to be fashionably late, but seriously, 8 years late is taking the piss. But better late than never I suppose.
Morons, Generally
Really. People. Get over yourselves.
Racism is a roundabout with 34 junctions. And every time someone says “nigger” its not racist. And no, I’m not defending one way or the other.

2 of the horsemen really
One of the horsemen of the apocalypse is Ross writing some code for Soundjuicer
Another is me releasing Marlin. I was using it to edit some sounds and it didn’t crash or have any obviously obnoxious bugs, so I figured it must be a time for a release. Part of me wants to call it a [...]
Less Cowbell

KDE has lots of clocks.

Guadec
I’m going to GUADEC. I probably won’t talk to you.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Obviously Perspex Prop Skull
I know no-one will see this, but I feel it is my duty having just sat through 124minutes of Indy4 to inform you that it is complete and utter unmitigated SHITE. And not even in a funny way. Just in an annoying “oh fuck, its still going on” way.
Seriously, the Goonies is more believable and [...]
