If you’re a fan of RPG gamebooks you should do yourself a favour and pick up copies of the new editions of the Fabled Lands series.
Given the recent disturbing news that the Australian Federal Government plans to proceed with forcing ISPs to implement mandatory content filtering, it’s good to see that at least it’s not all bad news. It is currently being considered (again) as to whether the Australian National Classification Scheme should be changed to include an R18+ rating, which would mean certain games wouldn’t be banned simply for being part of that classification. You can find a feedback form here, which I strongly urge everyone to do and voice your support for rating parity with other media.
- Apparently I have a subscription to Nett magazine. Don't remember buying it though. Weird. #
- Watched the first episode of the Otomen live action series. The manga is better but the series is still watchable. #
- @m_p_p WIN Score: 1 in reply to m_p_p #
- Just realised I hadn't checked Twitter for 24 hours straight. Woah. #
- @theheadsage I'm not as confident but long ago came to the same conclusion. Also, I hate their price stickers – they're too hard to remove! in reply to theheadsage #
- Finally hooked up the old theatre system as a prototype. Works well! Now to get a new receiver with HDMI support. 5.1 sound here I come! #
- Oh, also need a digital cable from the PC for 5.1 support, rather than current 2.1. HDMI really makes things so much easier. #
- @chadnickbok As long as you like SGU!
in reply to chadnickbok # - Getting ready for a massive site update for a client. Hoping for minimal problems! #
- Had a few years shaved off my life today. Hoping a relaxing evening with new TV shows will help. #
- I've now gotten more anti-Westfield spam than actual Westfield spam. FAIL. #
- @chadnickbok Good to hear! Just wait until you get started on the Magento projects… in reply to chadnickbok #
- Quite annoying when you're in the middle of drafting an email and accidentally send it. #
- A crazy Friday afternoon. More so than most. #
- @feliciaday Loved TLJ! Have you played Dreamfall? Not quite as good IMHO but well worth playing. in reply to feliciaday #
- Again tempted by the Dell Studio 15. Enticing little vixen, and would get a very nice machine for my $1500. Should I just give in? #
- @chadnickbok Definitely getting the 1080 screen. Thinking an extra $270 for a Blu-ray drive isn't worth it. Opinion? in reply to chadnickbok #
- @tcmg I'd already tried that and fuppes. MediaTomb was the only one I could even remotely get working. in reply to tcmg #
- @mdenis The office has stayed cool this weekend, despite the lack of air con, so that's a plus. in reply to mdenis #
- This is excruciating: my train is not moving and the air con is pathetic. Good start to the week. #
- @annatheannoying Better than being "gay hostile" I guess. in reply to annatheannoying #
- Argh! This tram has no air con! #gripe #
- Opera Mobile 10 beta still has a broken input system on S60. Can't enter newlines into a text field! Non-standard shift behaviour! FAIL #
- I should mention that the rest of the browser is pretty cool. Looking forward to Opera Link functionality. #
- Train air con WIN! #
- MediaTomb is working like a charm. Too bad transcoding with subtitles is amazingly hard. Further work needed for my perfect media server! #
- Submitted my application for an RACV Club membership. Soon I won't have to pay $20 each time I want to use the gym! #
- Dinner from Grill'd tonight. Enjoyed the walk in the cooler weather. Seems a lot of other people had the same idea. #
- RT @JewelStaite: Just found out Dollhouse was canceled. "SUMMERRRRRR!!!" #
- Flying on Friday the 13th … from gate 13 … what could go wrong? #
- Trying out the Selenium testing framework. #
- @NathanFillion Maybe not – in a couple years there might be a movie! *crosses fingers* in reply to NathanFillion #
- Woot! Google Wave invite! #
- @chadnickbok Thank you for more useless yet cool trivia. @feliciaday just keeps getting more awesome really. in reply to chadnickbok #
- Cinema stuffed up and played the wrong movie. Now I'll never get to see Astro Boy! At least I have two free passes now. #
- How long has carsales.com.au had a mobile site? It's pretty nifty – even has layered navigation support. #
