Marvism: tossing snowballs into hell

Tossing a snowball into hell and hoping it hits someone before it melts To ask a question that needs asking, though the answer is generally known but not officially stated. To ask a question that you know there’s a strong likelihood of getting the answer you don’t want on the off-chance you might get the [...]

Possible code borkage

If you happen to use any service I maintain, there’s a chance it might stop working over the next couple of days. In anticipation of WordPress 2.3 being released, I’m restructuring my UHU codebase to be easier to manage- as well as putting in upgrades to the development branch of version 3 to handle these [...]

Oh Noes! Fizzlezorz :-(

My computer died last night- hopefully it was just the PSU (it had the smell of fizzlezorz afterwards, and I thought I could smell something burning just beforehand). I’m heading out to Newcastle today to buy a new PSU, so hopefully everything should be fixzorz by tonight- if not, then i’ll be posting on here [...]

Is Marc Bragg the asshole pissing me off ?

Perhaps, perhaps not. Wikipedia account holder Msbjustice has been making a series of edits to Second Life related articles that have been really frustrating me recently. The evidence linking Msbjustice with Mark Bragg isn’t very much. Just linking to domains owned by a Mark Bragg and creating articles & edits that don’t do much else [...]

How big is your ego ? (part 1)

Running around the internet via the StumbleUpon extension for Firefox, I came across this service called “ego Surf“. Looks to be one of those Search 2.0 things where it does some script-fu to see how big your ego is. I of course ran some searches (not bothering with .co.uk stuffages) on some Second Life related [...]

Something Entirely Unexpected

Google Search Results No idea how long it’ll remain that way, but I’m listed in 3rd and 4th place on a Google search that doesn’t contain my name :-). Also worth noting is the fact I’m listed higher than Torley, Inside Mac Games, Apple, MakeZine, SLUniverse and MacUser. This was an accidental discovery, as I [...]

Boo!

So I decided I should stick to my own advice I’ve been advising Volunteers to create blogs using their full SL as the URL. It made sense for me to do this even though I already have a wordpress blog, so that I can use this for off duty Second Life stuff, and keep my [...]
