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. This latest stink about someone saying “Niggers are fucking stupid” was almost certainly not racist. It was a generalisation. Everyone makes generalisations, even niggers. And [...]

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 [...]

There is a sound specification.
It is here: http://0pointer.de/public/sound-theme-spec.html
There is also a sound naming specification.
It is here: http://0pointer.de/public/sound-naming-spec.html
To be honest, I don’t have any problems with the former document and really couldn’t care less about how sounds are stored, retrieved, played, or compressed (*). The latter however is complete and utter unmitigated bullshit.
I shall explain why.

Denied By Cliche

So Jono released his album. I thought I’d give it a little listen.
Its a metal album. I’m not the biggest fan of metal to be honest. To me it is a genre that seems quite content to live in the past and rehash the same old cliches. Occasionally (ISIS, Pelican, Sunn o))), Earth, Boris to [...]

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 [...]
