Yeah, I know, nobody cares...
For those of you that use bloat, I've just released v1.4. This release doesn't have that many new features, but those it does have are quite nice ;). Anyway, having done the freshmeat announcement once and the sourceforge stuff, I can't be arsed to type it out again - if you're interested in a script to extract different package formats, visit teh link omglolz.

Warning for anyone who feels like trying linux 2.6.6-mm2 - he's forced 4kstacks on again, which breaks the nVidia drivers. I say this as I am posting from `links`. That is all. Thank you.

I stumbled upon this page while looking for a decent source to cite to disprove someone who was claiming that Kelvin is measured in degrees. While looking there I saw that there are some...odd degrees. Degrees Twaddle? MacMichael? EBC? Lovibond?

Am I the only one who feels like tracking down the first person to write a media player/IRC client integration script and whack them around a bit with a large trout? Does anyone really care what the other person is listening to? For those who are lucky enough to not have to endure these, have a small example:

Thanks to the Stumbleupon Toolbar I stumbled across Spam Radio. Basically it does exactly what it says on the tin; it speaks spam with a beat :P. For people with mplayer, you can just mplayer http://spamradio.com/listen.

Very...odd

Yesterday I was randomly grepping for stuff in AAG's logs (yes, it was late, I was bored) when I stumbled across the following, er, "odd" user-agent string (IP has been changed):

Yay, apparently I loaded almost 500 404s yesterday. I'm pretty sure I didn't, but oh well, that's what proxies are for, right?

Looks like profile pages now have a list of everyone's submissions - see, for example, TRoLLaXoR's profile (just a random profile I thought of which would likely have odd submissions).

UPDATE: 2004-03-11T15:31+0000 Looks like this functionality's been changed so you can only see accepted stories now, except on your own profile. So it seems like a mistake (a la anonymous reviews on a certain site ;-).

First there was tinyurl.com, for those places you can't put long links. Now there's hugeurl.com for the hell of it! Apparently you shouldn't post these links anywhere yet (the algo is going to change), but who cares?

Apparently my post rated 0 was overrated. I posted it before everybody else and it was also redundant (which is what got it the 0 score). Yay for slashdot mods!

(Yeah, I'm bored...)

Our cheat submission form has had people asking for cheats for a while. A month or three ago, I added a small bit of text in the rules section asking people to not request cheats. They still did. As anybody who's visited the link I gave above will probably see, I've now put this in a <h1>. I also added "We reserve the right to mock anybody who doesn't follow this request.". Knowing people, however, I bet we'll still get a tonne

For some reason I don't seem to be able to see any comments. This includes replies to journals, and this happens whatever threshold I use. What's going on?

Update: OK, everything seems to be working again now, nothing to see here, move along...

Is it just me, or does Darl McBride look like Jack Dee? (Note: That link'll probably not work from 11:10-06:30 GMT)

Thanks Matt for giving me an early Christmas present - a subscription! Just testing out some of the features like just Friends of Friends, and Friends comments in journals...

I think I'll have to avoid all new technology stories, it gets depressing to see people saying their 26" TV is old and needs to be replaced with something newer, or even people saying "Buy an XBox for $[insert number greater than 100] a pop! That's what I earn in two seconds!" [yes, I'm exaggerating]

Ah well, /me gets back to watching his 14"? 15"? TV...
