Lemmings


Whilst browsing the ‘net I came across this.

It’s Lemmings, but written in Javascript/DHTMl!

Not much else to say - but I fear it’s going to be extremely addictive.

Bit-tech CS:Source Server


One last thing before I head home from work…

Bit-tech had a CS:Source server in the past, funded by several forum members, but they’ve just invested (in partnership with Intel and Trusted Reviews) in what is being called “The World’s Fastest Gaming Server“. The CPU is un-announced at the moment, but appears to be a multi (>2) core processor - coupled with 8GB of Memory.

It’s going live today at 6pm, but will most likely be full-to-the-brim as many are getting excited at the prospect of it all. I hope to have a go for a bit, as the highest scoring player will win a prize apparently. Not that I’m any good

American wages


Howcome Americans appear to have so much more money than us UK folk?

Take, for example, any American TV show - such as the O.C. The early 20’s people within it are usually loaded with cash.

OK, so it’s not real. Take a look at this website. In particular these pages, which detail the guy’s house - which includes his own observatory, workshop and home theater! It’s insane.

It appears that the house is on the market for just under $4m. Mere pocket money for any American citizen.

I’m off to play the lottery now - wish me luck

RIP Steve Irwin


On the way to work this morning, I heard that Steve Irwin died due to a Stingray attack.

It doesn’t surprise me, as the poor guy constantly poked and annoyed crocodiles in his shows - the stingray’s barb stabbed him through the heart as it was trying to defend itself.

If you want to know more about the story, check out the BBC website.

Do you think he had it coming? Or are you still mourning the loss of a great Aussie?
