I hate taking pictures of clouds - they’re up there, every day, for everyone to see. No one is interested in clouds, including me. But I thought this was pretty awesome-looking.

Hi,

I’m very pleased to announce that the 0.15 update of KSP is now officially released!

You can get it at the KSP Store.

This update adds these features to the game, among several others:

  • The Spaceplane Hangar Facility: A new construction building where you build horizontally.
  • A new…

They added spaceplanes to Kerbal Space Program. Life complete. If you don’t know what a spaceplane is, we can’t be friends IRL. If you don’t know what Kerbal Space Program is, you are probably a normal human being who is well adjusted. You’re also missing out on a fun little sandbox game where you build frickin’ rockets.

Something very strange and fascinating about seeing clear, colour photos from a long-disappeared world.

I have no less than 17 posts I’m not happy with sitting in “drafts”. So when it’s quiet on this blog, it’s not because I’m not writing anything. I’m just not writing anything good.

If this works in Internet Explorer, it is purely by accident.

But if anyone asks, it was totally intentional.

So, the next Metal Gear game. It has revenge. It has vengeance. What’s the best way to sum that up in a snappy tagline?

Revenge With A Vengeance

Yup. That’s what they went for. And what’s the actual title?

Metal Gear Rising: REVENGEANCE

These guys aren’t kidding. They want you to know that you’ll be enacting both revenge and vengeance, and they want to tell you this in the quickest way possible.

Urban Dictionary defines revengeance as:

the act of gaining revenge at a rate of at least 2.54 times greater to that of standard revenge and 1.61 that of standard vengeance.

I saw the trailer for this game. It seems to feature graphics technology that allows you to literally slice guys in half with some kind of techno-sword.

Fast forward to 1:20 to see a guy get cut into four pieces in bullet time. Fast forward to 1:40 to see a guy lift up a robot the size of an office block, and then slice it in two.

Also, the character you control seems to be a cyborg ninja. A cyborg ninja with terrible hair, but a cyborg ninja nonetheless.

There is nothing I dislike in this game. Except the hair.

Just misread “Doctor who criticised NHS reforms is threatened with disciplinary action” as “Doctor Who criticised NHS reforms, is threatened with disciplinary action”.

Well of course I burnt it. (Taken with instagram)

So, cancel already

Sometimes, if I upload a file on Dreamweaver, it doesn’t work. Usually, it’s because the internet connection has dropped for a moment. Any other piece of software, in all of history, would just cancel the upload after the timeout. Not Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver can’t. Instead, I just get this message over and over. I can’t edit the file that it’s trying to upload, and I can’t upload any other files. I either have to:

a) Wait for Dreamweaver to crash,

b) Close Dreamweaver via task manager,

or c) Wait for the 0.5% chance that Dreamweaver will successfully cancel the operation.

I’m lost as to why it’s so incredibly difficult for Dreamweaver to stop doing a operation that it has already failed at. It’s the software equivalent of driving your car into a lamppost, and holding the accelerator down until the tank is dry.

In the time it took me to write this, I could just have restarted Dreamweaver.
