Note: This is a re-written version of my slightly drunken rant from the other night, with the profanity removed. Normally I wouldn’t do this, but I think people may actually be right… even I’ll admit there was a wee bit too much profanity, which probably worked to the detriment of whatever it was that was [...]
MY VOTE DOESN’T COUNT. This is a fucking common response to anyone daring to bring up politics around a young person these days. Twenty-something. Late teens. Early thirties. Shit, some fuckers these days who qualify as a young person are at an age where, had they been born a half-dozen centuries ago, they’d be a [...]
So, I can handle the occasional idiot in my life. You deal with them. They breeze in, do something monumentally cock-handed, and you sigh, fix the problem, and get back to it. Then you have wankers. They can be good fun, really. I mean, everybody knows complete wankers. Especially when you’re out on the town, [...]

There are a lot of things in this world that I just fucking love. A really fuck-off well-brewed beer. Worryingly expensive single malt whisky. A brilliant computer game. Awesome films. Documentaries on the making of a particularly difficult film. Books on logical fallacies and atheism. James Ellroy books. Breasts – particularly when attached to highly [...]
I’ve got it. I understand now. Sense is made. Logic won out. I get it. Now, why would Dingus Features, the fellow leading the opposition come out with fundamentalist, offensive, load of tripe like this… all the damn time? I couldn’t understand it. He’s alienating so many voters. Like, say, almost all self-respecting women. Bet [...]

Rohan’s rules for writing science fiction that won’t piss him off: No DNA-changing virii or biological weapons that mutate people without killing them. … and CERTAINLY no changing them back afterwards. No plot-convenient memory-erasing to wipe either people’s memories of the events of the episode. No plot-convenient time travel or quantum-neutrino alternate-dimension wibbledy-fuck to completely [...]

It’s just downright painful watching dumb people trying to use Macs. Now, OS X does NOT behave like Windows (95/98/ME/2K/XP/Vistake/7). Why should it? Do you expect GNOME or KDE to behave like Windows? No. So why the hell sit down in front of a Mac and complain that it’s not the same? It’s a whole [...]

Ah. Breakfast. I’ve just put some fried mushrooms, onion & eggs on toast with whole grain mustard. Best thing in the world. Got a few minutes before I have to leave for work – why not watch a bit of a movie? 10 minutes is worth it. Hell, the opening 10 minutes of lots of [...]
