Science!? WTF is science!?

Today I came across one of the most impressive examples of pure ignorance and illogical thinking I have ever seen. Now I feel I am not picking on this person for their beliefs, I am mealy showing my complete amazement that people exist who show such a disregard for science. I wish I could tell you this was a joke…

Before I say anything else, which I am not completely sure if I can, I will let you read it, I mean seriously… just read it.

Patronising Windows 7 adverts.

Can I have my 7 seconds back?

Last night was one of the rare few times that I have watched TV lately, as suspected I didn’t really enjoy it. Not only were there way too many adverts but, some of the most annoying adverts I have seen in recent months. Specifically Microsoft’s Windows 7 in 7 seconds adverts, seriously they are probably the most patronising thing on TV I have seen .

Why I quit posting on forums

Filed under: General — Rich @ 6:27 PM 11/03/2010

Forums were once a place where it was possible to talk to interesting people about interesting things in an environment that was not only enjoyable but intelligent. Over the last few years I have been a major part of a few forums and a minor part for many others. Sadly I feel these forums are something I no longer wish to take part in. It saddens me that the subjects, the people and the level of conversation have reached a level to which I no longer wish to participate.

My top 5 favorite Twitter clients for Linux

Filed under: Linux,Social Networking — Rich @ 7:53 AM 04/03/2010

I have been using Linux for quite a while now and have been searching to find a great all round twitter client. After spending a few days trying out a few I thought I would share my experiences with them. One of the things I will say for all of these applications is how well they have kept with the ‘simplicity is best’ style of the twitter website, something I personally feel is a quite important element.

What ever you’re looking for in a twitter client you should be able to find it in the following list. Also if you think I have missed any or have a recommendation please feel free to let me know via a comment.

Uberfail

Filed under: Uberman — Rich @ 10:45 PM 02/03/2010

Well, it’s Tuesday and already I know that there is no way I will be able go with the Uberman sleep schedule. Just as I thought actually getting to sleep every 4 hours is an impossible task for me currently, just like its impossible for a politician not to talk complete bullshit… Yes, that difficult.

Still another method tried, another one failed, but nothing lost.
