March Year: 2009
Seymour Butz Tuesday
31st Mar 2009 ·
· LinkAh Tuesday, the day after Monday, day before Wednesday, 2 days before Thursday and 3 days before Friday.
Saturday is but 4 days away whilst Sunday a mere 5. Monday to follow is nearly a week but falls short at 6 days away but then a week today is Tuesday again.
I think I need a sit down. But first Listy Wisty Wicky wicky woo whaaaaaaar.
ONE - Proud to be in Cardiff - Genius
TWO - REALLY WRONG - Father grooms daughter for prostitution, and boy is he creepy.
THREE - What goes up must come down.
FOUR - Not done any upcoming movies for a while, so hear are a few that have caught my eye: The Hangover - My kind of stupid movie :)
Mutant Chronicles - Grusome and Violent everything you could need :)
Sleep Dealer - Looks interesting definitely (and confusing).
FIVE - T-Shirts, You gotta love them and I'm in a position to be able to get some custom ones created and I have a few ideas, but I need more ideas.
I'm thinking UK specific (or geeky) they can be local specific or current affairs. Any ideas anyone? If so please email me Schlotts.
SIX - With April Fools tomorrow thought I'd give a few names to be used:
Dixie Normous, Anita Lay, Mike Hunt, Eynita Horre, Emma Rhoids, Anna Prentice, Harry Pitts, Jed Dye, Jo King, Joe Kerr, Leigh King and of course who could forget Dick Face.
Then of course the Simpsons ones:
I.P. Freely, Al Koholic, Oliver clothes off, Seymour Butz, Homer Sexual, Mike Rotch, Bea O'Problem, Amanda Hugginkiss, Ivana Tinkle, Haywood U. Cuddleme, Eura Snotball, Ollie Tabooger, Ahmed Adoudi, Ima Wiener, Maya Normousbutt, Drew P. Wiener and the all time classic "I am a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and i like to kiss my own butt".
Ending on a song.
This really won't be available for long (take downs are getting fast on youtube), so grab it quickly while you can, new song from Lily Allen - Not Fair
Finally Friday List
27th Mar 2009 · · LinkThis week has been very long, 12 hour day Tuesday, 11 hour day Wednesday, Last night at Comedy gig (Ross Nobel, very very good) tonight at Greyhound racing.
I could do with a nice sit down to be honest.
Bring on the List.
1. Red Dwarf is back Good Friday 9.00pm Want more info ('cause ya do), then go Here first Or if your impatient here. However be warned that I think most of the videos shown will be shown on Dave.
2. Having already gotten somebody into trouble with this I'll link to it. Dove NSFW.
3. Your a bad man Chris Brown
4. Inspired by this article about an australian who throws in a hungry croc to chase the swimmers so they swim faster. How about putting a glass bottom on the pool and have various things in that, would be an incentive (and also quite a cool gimmick).
5. About a year ago I sought out and watched a lot of the Three Stooges stuff, and as such this just looks wrong. Remake
6. Still Looks like your sliding above the Road, but it was a classic.
7. US Sit Coms - Interesting for a goosey
8. Anyone need a web developer? Look no further - Wow.
9. B3ta Image Challenge - Wronstructions
I like Family Guy, and I like Star Trek (possibly more so after the new movie), so this is just genius.
Protests at F1
26th Mar 2009 · · LinkWell this is a first, protests between rival teams and McLaren are not mentioned.
All to do with difusers.
The moaners:
Ferrari
Renault
Red Bull
BMW
Not Diffusing the situation (sorry):
Williams
Toyota
Brawn GP
At this time they have all been cleared to race leading to the protests.
Speed Tuesday
24th Mar 2009 · · LinkNot much time so two quick things of note.
I was waiting in an extraordinarily long shopping line to buy my groceries (oooh, how american) and when the lady in front's purchases had started going through she was still putting items on the conveyor belt.
I thought I'd help by telling her to go and pack and I'd put the remaining few items on to save her time.
Man I'm so nice.
Problem is, I'd been standing in line reading a magazine* looking down with my mouth slowing filling with more saliva than normal.
As I looked at her and said "I'll load those for you whilst you pack" I spat out what can only be described as a mouth full of flob over her face, shoulders and front.
She said nothing, she just turned and went to pack.
I just froze with dribble hanging of my chin, quite embarassing.
Family Guy did a joke about the Simpsons in the show, it was shown, however any future showings had the scene cut. The scene is here together with an angry Seth McFarlane talking about it afterwards (personally I think it's funny and done in a funny way).
Apparently Simpsons can give it but the powers that be won't let them take it.
Best Toilets Ever
Rumours are rife that A boycott of the first F1 race was going ahead (some reports that some may still do it over the Diffuser moans).
* that I had no intention of paying for and discarded before it was my turn to load the conveyor belt, a handy tip if you don't want to pay for magazines but don't want to be bored waiting in a line because they won't open extra tills
BBC F1 Coverage
23rd Mar 2009 · · LinkThis looks like it should have been already done on ITV, but wasn't.
To quote "F1 fans will be able to customise their viewing experience through the BBC's multi-platform offering with options such as: split-screen action; a live leaderboard; in-car cameras; choice of commentary; live online streaming; live text; interactive forums; circuit guides; and blogs."
more info here.
One thing of note no HD version as yet, not that the BBC can't do it's it's just that the FOC don't broadcast it seemingly.
So at least I don't have to rush and sort out my HD feeds :)

Car Park Friday
20th Mar 2009 · · LinkRoaming around a car park trying to find a spot I notice a car pulling out hafl way down my row.
That's the spot for me thinks I.
Swinging around into the spot I confront another car, parked opposite coming forward.
Rather than reverse out of his space he's decided to go forwarded through the now empty space and make his car park exit, problem is I'm pulling in.
He goes NUTS, swearing shouting hitting his horn at me for blocking his escape.
He's a fairly old gentlemen with a elderly woman passenger and so I do what I believe most people would do in my situation.
I stick my two fingers up and proceed forwarded into the front of his car.
He reversed off and left fairly quickly. Fu*ker.
Onwards to the list:
- You've just got to love comments.
- Image Manipulation by Design.
- Council's have been getting in trouble of late about the slang they use for certain situations, as a result a ban on certain phrases has been brought in here are a few of these phrases. It's no wonder you can't get anywhere with councils.
Top Down - Ignoring People
Seedbed - Idea
Cross Cut - Working Together
Working Out - Scoping
Coterminous, Stakeholder Engagement - Talking to People
Worklessness - Unemployed
Horizon Scanning - Looking for potential problems early - Very little gets given out for free in marketing circles, especially numbers and figures, and whilst you may need to (gasp) read something to get the info, This Game Developer gives out some of his figures. As I understand it this page has become very popular!
- A guy has built his own Solar Panels (the site is very busy atm due to the slashdot effect). I looked into solar panels for powering things in the house that are always on (Server, Fridge etc) and came to the conclusion that is was possible to do it, but the prices people asked for pre-made systems were astronomical. This guys solution is 3 times cheaper.
And building them myself was too time consuming (and I really can't be having another project). - Now this is a good idea, Undo Send in gmail.
Or is it! As more and more features are added to software and get out of the shit options the likely hood that someone would want to actually talk to someone and risk actually saying something wrong gets ever closer. - Worst Facebook pic ever - I didn't get this at first, the comment at the bottom is genius NSFW.
Everytbody on your feet and dance along then :)

Bit of a Site Update
19th Mar 2009 · · LinkNothing major, comments have gone as they really didn't get used.
The main update however is that only the last 3 posts are shown, previous posts headings are shown with a Link to View (these get pulled in and shown when clicked using magic without page loads).
It became apparent that the web page would use stupid amounts of processing in browsers so only viewing the latest posts helps this out (a bit at least, youtube and other embedded videos are still a bit resource heavy, but I didn't write those! Moan to them).
Anyway, should help a bit.
Schizotypal Tuesday List
17th Mar 2009 · · LinkRight into it this week, tuesdays are always so busy for me for some reason.
1. Go to google.com, Type in 'find chuck norris' and click I'm Feeling Lucky
2. Is it me or is everything a cock - Technically this is safe for work.
3. This is nicely done I thought, Twitter World
4. Schizotypal Personality
5. Lego Advertisements, pure creativity (so tempted to do some of these, but obviously rude :)
6. How to keep an idiot busy Genius.
7. Not sure of the point but maybe I don't understand the last bit? Lights.
8. via fazed.net this is just painful to watch.
For Floyd:
Let's not forget St Patrick's Day, have one for me (as I can't drink, dammit).
Fill The Void List
Six days ago · · LinkSooooo busy, but thought i would post what has been gathered this past two weeks, enjoy:
Cee Lo Green - F You (the original isn't bad either
Strange Photo
Patience (stop motion)
I'm patient, but I don't think I could do this for a living.
Do you do this?
Still not using it
Jumpin'
Lucky F'ers.
Extended Version of Prince of Bel Air
It's just not right. (lyrics follow)
And the lyrics:
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
GeoTagged List
20th Aug 2010 · · LinkAfternoon all, Jesus tees off first hitting his ball straight into the water hazard. He simply walks across the water and hits his ball just short of the green. When Moses tees off, he hits his ball into the same water hazard. So, he parts the water and puts his golf ball just shy of the hole. As the old man tees off he hits his ball with tremendous power, but hooks it badly. It bounces off a tree and hits the caddy shack. It then rolls down a path to a pond where a frog eats the ball and swims to the other side of the pond. Suddenly an eagle swoops down and grabs the frog and flies off. As the eagle is flying over the green the frog drops the ball. The ball drops directly into the hole for a hole in one. Moses turns to Jesus and says "I hate playing golf with your Dad."
As the world quickly scrambles to change their FaceBook Profiles to disable Location settings I bring you the List:
Wow
Think Shes a Keeper
Remember kids, always Tip Your Midwife - ?!?!
YoYo Champ - And rightly so
Thanks to Kev for this one, Missy - Genius, I've sent this to 3 designers, they all rang me within 10 minutes laughing.
From the 'How to talk to the geeks about things and not have them laugh at you' Section: HTML5 and what it's all about
Katy B - On a Mission
Drivin' Fast.
Almost a quarter of drivers think it is acceptable to speed if they think the limit is too low - Tick that's me.
Drivers still distinguish between 'ordinary, safe speeding drivers' and 'dangerous speeding drivers' - Tick That's me too.
Motorists caught racing through motorway roadworks ended up being hit by more than £5m worth of speeding tickets last year. - Not been done on this, thankfully.
Of all the speeding offences 90+% are fixed penally notices. - Tick, got done by this.
Thought of the week.
Apple is very closed, they are right, everyone else is wrong (suppliers). However it was noted on a website that Apple have sent an update out for OS X that fixes graphics issues.
This is pretty much due in part to Valve releasing games for the Mac. It's further rumoured that the uptake of the games is astronomical.
Nothing Like a shit load of money to make Apple stand to attention.
