The Fiscal Treaty approaches. Batman will vote NO and fight on against all odds.

Favourite part? Gilmore as Two Face, or the explanation for the Joker’s name. (via)

Tom Scott looks at what a corporate sponsored and controlled afterlife might be like. Creepy.

That’s why you must choose The Pirate Bay as your primary healthcare provider.

Harness racing on Cork’s roads

Two harness racers on the Cork to Mallow road defying Garda attempts to stop them and driving against traffic on a very busy road. Crazy guys, crazy.

Reddit PvE Rev 6 Minecraft Server

Donncha O Caoimh — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:36:38 +0000

One of the great things about Minecraft is that you can pack a level into one nice compressed archive. r/Minecraft on Reddit have a number of servers (I think) and this is one of them. You can download that world from here, it’s pveRev6.tar.gz but there are lots of other worlds there to check out too.

I had to fiddle around a bit to get creative mode working. I think I copied the region folder from the tarball into a creative world I created for this purpose. There was probably one or two other steps too but it’s been a while. Figuring out stuff in Minecraft is half the fun isn’t it anyway so go find out yourself

“Turn the lights off, stand in the middle of the room and wave your arms about frantically….”

Watch it fullscreen, but not if you’re averse to flashing lights..

Smiley’s People, a BBC podcast I listened to recently inspired me to look up this old Ash & Dave C64 demo. Unfortunately the podcast is not available any more.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto going cheap!

Donncha O Caoimh — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:24:50 +0000

If you want a humorous FPS and have $2.99 to spare you can’t really get any better than Giants: Citizen Kabuto. It’s 50% off right now as part of an Interplay promotion at GOG.

It’s an old game, released back in the dawn of time (or the year 2000, whichever came first) but it holds up well. There’s very funny dialogue, the graphics were amazing for their time and still look great. Back then you’d be hard pressed to find a machine that could play it well but that’s not a problem with any sort of modern machine.

Go on, go on, go on. It’s lots of fun and I can’t recommend it enough.

How did they manage to squeeze all that into a 64k executable? Watch it fullscreen. Amazing.

Reading the top voted comments on this post gives the impression that some /. visitors are not altogether that geeky but the replies are a lot more interesting.

I can’t seem to make heads or tails of this post. It’s techno-babble and word salad. I guess I should remember this feeling when I talk about programming with my non-programming friends.

Sort of sad as a programmer you have no knowledge of some of programming history.

The Awesome Captain Mack

It’s a pity they disabled embedding but it’s worth watching Captain Mack at least once. Parents, sssshhh!

It takes skill my monkey! Almost as much as holding back a 40ft tidal wave while dodging a couple of hungry killer whales. Now that’s a real skill!
