; Hello World


So, the new Weird Al Album came out, this week, and I realised something..
.. I haven't a fucking clue what any of these songs are supposed to be parodies of!
It's an ok album, but I get the distinct feeling that I might get a little more enjoyment out of it, if I actually bothered to listen to modern chart music.

I recognised a couple of the Polka tracks, though, so I guess that's something..
*shrugs*

Hey, at least I got some coding done, this week, so that's a good thing..
If you head to my Lumia 1020 thread, you'll find that I recently bought a nice printer to go with it, and have started making little paper-craft printout arcade cabinets...
... These are the sorts of things you start to do when you're not coding, and have little else going on in your day!!!

; Free or No Free

Unity. Should you, or shouldn't you? And just how "free" is "free" anyway?

; Fresh Pi

The Raspberry Pi team have announced a newer model, featuring a more capable USB system, which will happily host four standard USB devices at once, without requiring additional power to do it.
Seems handy.

; EveryoneButYouTube

So, why DO people block youtube videos from playing on Mobile devices, anyway?
And why does it always seem to be music videos that do it?
Aren't the music videos supposed to be promotional?
Isn't it the JOB of the music video to get the word out about the music, so people buy the music??!
Are they scared that kids might find a random music video, and actually want to buy the music?!
God forbid!!

; Technology is Grate

Having the latest device is all fun and games, right up until the point where it refuses to do something. It's a downward spiral after that, and usually ends in user frustration, a sledgehammer, and a nearby wall.

Movie Making Masterclass Monday with Michael
Michael Bay presents a special masterclass, showing folk how to make imaginative, engrossing, billion dollar movies by throwing whizzy effects at the screen, in a desperate attempt to disguise the fact that your script has little or no substance.
Learn the secrets of destroying people's memories by disfiguring the faces of their favourite childhood characters, whilst ripping out every shred of logic from the worlds in which they exist.
The day will be capped off by the largest fireworks display imaginable, because ... explosions!!!!!!

; Future Classics

Super Mario 3D Sunshine Galaxy 64 U
Join Mario as he begins his epic quest to find Princess Peach's hairband, and help find clues to some of the more serious threats to the Mushroom Kingdom, as you uncover Bowser's evil plot to sneakily steal some of Luigi's Blueberry Pie.
An amazing 3D adventure for up to 16 players (local), who will find that, even though the game claims to be in 3D, it's been simplified to the point at which it might as well be 2D.
Don't forget to collect the mysterious hidden objects that we didn't tell you about, or warn you about, because without them, you're going to have to play the whole damn thing all over again, in order to reach World 3!
