September 30, 2001: September 30, 2001This is sick I mean
The poor kid. September 29, 2001: September 29, 2001ok, so it's sad thatok, so it's sad that im posting about the fresh conference right after getting home, but hey the computer was alreay on and connected so hey. Praystation was funny Remeber Andrew if you are going to talk about "Communtiy" then talk about it. And if you are not going to stick around for the other speakers then you probably won't realise how shit you really were. If I was Jade I would have snapped your fat neck. Why these people (read:design wankers) feel that when they are asked to talk that it means you can just crap on about yourself the whole time. The other talkers were thoughtful enough to cover the topic they were asked to speak on. Andrew could have been talking about any topic and it would have sounded the same. I just hope other people (ie people with some respect) will tell him that he was shit also. Please do otherwise he'll never learn. September 27, 2001: September 27, 2001September 26, 2001: September 26, 2001IDN Fresh is on friday.IDN Fresh is on friday. If you see me there please be sure to say hi. Seeing as the only people that visit this site are my friends then I will be pissed if you don't say hi. Mmmmmmm how to spot me. 1: Shaved head (number 4 now I guess) September 25, 2001: September 25, 2001I have worn only 2I have worn only 2 ties in my life. One was the ever handy, green McDonalds clip on tie the other was my graduation tie (still done up in the cupboard just in case). Everything in life should be clip on. It save's so much time. Just like wearing mix matching socks does. PODLOB is one of thePODLOB is one of the few flashturbation sites that has original and useful stuff. I wish mine did September 24, 2001: September 24, 2001Crazy Shuttle They may beCrazy Shuttle They may be violent but they are also some of the best made games around. What URL am I seeingWhat URL am I seeing more than any right now thanks to aggressive bus advertising. Why it's As Simple As Salmon Right up there with "Give me a mandy mum", "Ba Na Na Na Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah", "Mushrooms, Meat for vegetarians", "New fashioned Pork" and the classic "It's crunch time for apples" Check out the salmon links section WOW Mmmmmmmm...... salmon September 23, 2001: September 23, 2001They had the "highest decoratedThey had the "highest decorated soldier" from the US army on 60 Minutes tonight. He served in Korea and Nam. He talked about the the US's "War on Terrorism" Now to me terrorism encompasses many groups. Yet this former soldier insisted on adding that the terrorist should be killed with "12x the force at which they use. There mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, kids, cousins (he added a few more i forgot), should all be killed and then they should all be wrapped in pork so they can't go to the holy land" Mmmm, why would the IRA worry about being wrapped in pork. Oh yeah thats right the IRA haven't done anything to the US and thus won't be targetted by this "War on Terrorism". Let's hope this war on terrorism is actually that a war on all forms of terrorism world wide and not just in the US's best interests. I really hope the KKK fall under the wide blanket that is the term "Terrorism" September 22, 2001: September 22, 2001I have finnaly unpacked theI have finnaly unpacked the majority of boxes in the new apartment. It seems now I need a bookshelf as I have run out of space to put stuff. Note: If you buy crappy cheap furniture and stack heavy books on it, then chances are that the wood is cheap also and will buckle. On a side note: I have listened to both the new Bjork and New order CD and I'm not impressed. Every song on Bjorks CD sounds the same and New Orders (they were before my time) new CD has lyrics that wouldn't rival a junior high peotry comp for substance. September 21, 2001: September 21, 2001Seems that some people feelSeems that some people feel that games are "uesless" and "in the end will amount to nothing" I personally find making games more rewarding than splash screens. If someone can't see the art in a nice game, even the reworking of a classic game, then I can't help them. You look at a piece of design and say cool. Then you will want something new. A game, as long as it's fun, will get you coming back again and again. netbabyworld is the best online games pertal I have seen. Great games, great design, fun and a good sense of community. The bowling game takes the cake. September 19, 2001: September 19, 2001Info on the event atInfo on the event at Hiroshima Why the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima I know as much about WW2 as I do about Vietnam. ie not much I sold a small partI sold a small part of my MAD magazine collection today. A whopping $8 awesome. The more you collect things the more you hate them. A used to buy Manga (anime) videos all the time now I wish I never did. I have like 40 sitting at my mums 's place doing nothing. I collected MAD magazines and now have this huge pile that I lug around. And will never read another. I collect too much crap. September 18, 2001: September 18, 2001One last WTC comment. OJOne last WTC comment. OJ Simpson was as guilty as they come. Yet after months of trail was found not guilty. The US government seem so sure that Bin Laden was behind these attacks that they are willing to bomb a country without gathering evidence first. Innocent until proven guilty??? September 16, 2001: September 16, 2001A week after moving andA week after moving and I still haven't even constructed my bed. It's still a mattress on the floor. September 15, 2001: September 15, 2001We have had a majorWe have had a major telco go bust owing millions, a huge insurance company go bust owing even more. Now it looks as if 1 of our 2 major airlines has gone down too, after months of trouble. Taking down with them an airline catering company and a travel company. And leaving the major advertising agencies angry after they spent millions in recent pitches. It's not just the .coms that are getting their ass kicked finacially. Australian news sites : News.com.au -- SMH.com.au I hope you all pickedI hope you all picked up your Daily Telegraph American Flag poster. I grabbed 10 and have them in every room of my place. I also will be getting my car bonnet decaled. What are the Daily Telegraph (Australian newspaper) thinking?? Wouldn't it be nice to find out that Iraq contracted Bin Laden to do these terrible things. The the US can kill to birds with one sanction. Um yeah Iraq, Bin Landen and David Koresh. That would make the US govt very happy. September 13, 2001: September 13, 2001Mmmm instead of donating moneyMmmm instead of donating money to help the WTC people why not use that money and donate to Community Aid Abroad or some other charity. I still feel bad for the US but some of the blame goes the the US government. Think of all the innocent people dying around the world and that America sells the arms that kill them for profit?? Don't hate me but I'd like to see people thinking instead of reacting. September 12, 2001: September 12, 2001Oh and no I wontOh and no I wont ne making a saveonetel.cjb.net re-design for this event. And now the suiciding suits in the game seem really sad :( Can't really say much onCan't really say much on the recent events as it's still too shocking. Pearl Harobour was at least during a war. This is just disguusting. It's also wierd people are making splash screens for this?? Maybe good intentions but it all seems a bit morbid. September 09, 2001: September 9, 2001Seems there might be aSeems there might be a sequal to the always cool TRON Why not? Anything that was cool in the 70's-80's will will have a head start in the popularity stakes. TRON, Goonies, Indiana Jones, Adams Family, Flintstones, Transformers, Scooby Doo, Batman etc etc Just cash in on all the fond memories. As i read on some site "Raiders of my lost Youth" Info from this FAQ SubjectInfo from this FAQ Subject 3.14: How is "GIF" pronounced? Wow, this fantastic site isWow, this fantastic site is a must for anyone developing games with some degree of AI in them Steering Behaviours It has certainly opened my eyes to new ideas Continuing my Sunday of stupidContinuing my Sunday of stupid links. Yes some of the names were really bad. IGN Toys has enough content to suit any Transformers fan. I can't help but feel that were are seriously missing out on some cool cartoons by living in Australia. It seems Stargate SG1 isIt seems Stargate SG1 is nearing it's 100th episode in America. Here is a great Stargate portal Mmmm get your Mum the Stargate soundtrack for Christmas she'll love you more for it Stargate is still very far behind the immortal Walker Texas Ranger with 203 episodes under it's belt. And with episode titles like One Riot, One Ranger and Mr. Justice it's no wonder it went on so long. Is there a 10th season for Chuck ?? Here's a great review of Walker Texas Ranger which any NON-Walker fan should read. It may be crap but it's the good kind of crap. Excert from article: "On NASH BRIDGES, for example, the body count is close to as high as WALKER's. The cops on both shows kill people every week and don't really seem to care. But on NASH, there aren't routine trips to churches and attempts to get people from all racial backgrounds to get along, there's just a lot of Nash trying to get it on." If Chuck Norris went up against McGuyver is a bout of fist-a-cuffs who would win?? (Note: Chuck has rumbled with Bruce Lee, McGuyver is really old) Would Dark Angel accept the offer of a sex sandwhich between the two??

It seems you had to be 6ft 2". There were people about 5ft trying their luck. A lady at the door was just saying too short , to wide, too short, too short , to wide, not even close. We decided to go eat than wait in the heat :) September 08, 2001: September 8, 2001They are casting for extra'sThey are casting for extra's tomorrow for The Matrix 2 in Newtown. Criteria: For males have to be over 6ft and under 6ft 2" ?? I guess I'm 6ft so I might go along. They also happen to be filming at Fox Studios where I work. Word Freak looks interesting. CompetitiveWord Freak looks interesting. Competitive scrabble has nothing on the cut throat world of cheese :) Have to say that Amazon's reconmendations are spot on. Nothing worse than going to a site and it has why not buy this gardening book. Amazon knows my details and uses them to full potential. September 07, 2001: September 7, 2001Still trying for the numberStill trying for the number one spot but flashturbation is proud to be number 3 in the search for Shitty Flash Look out for the latestLook out for the latest issue of STU which should be in all good places of business. The cover photo was by good friend Noel and there is a page with some stuff from me. STU is the A5 mag that you see in General Pants etc etc with a photo of a face on the cover. Only STU and Large can keep my interest on a train trip It seems very popular forIt seems very popular for people to stand outside Central Station and hand out food. I had pizza chips a few days ago. 3 up and go's last week, and instant porrige the week before. Ervi for two days in a row has recieved a can of Edgells Red Kidney Beans. heheheh Just the thing to snack on while working to work :) Congratulations to Ben who gotCongratulations to Ben who got a new job!!! I hope now this will stop his almost daily "I hate stupid clients" ICQ messages :) If only he'd now stop telling me how much he like Stargate SG1
September 06, 2001: September 6, 2001Oh i take it back.Oh i take it back. It's a close call between Robotech - The Macross Saga and Akira. I used to remember being late everyday to school just so I could watch Robotech at 8.30 in the morning. Funny I'm late to work everyday but don't have a reason :) While it wont be releasedWhile it wont be released in Australia for a little while you can buy Akira (Special Edition) on Amazon. Though its region one. Out of all the anime this one would be the best as they have redubbed the entire cast of voices (and retranslated) and cleaned up the animation. September 05, 2001: September 5, 2001candycrisis is an addictive andcandycrisis is an addictive and fun game. DOwnload now if you are on Mac. If you happen to one of those few using a PC try Graal Online as that looks awesome. http://www.vgmuseum.com I have found myhttp://www.vgmuseum.com I have found my nirvana. This is exactly what I was looking for and more. Does anyone have any goodDoes anyone have any good links to where I can find artwork from video games. I'm talking like the animations from old arcade games and that. September 04, 2001: September 4, 2001Sorry for that cheesy interuption.Sorry for that cheesy interuption. You think if you had a magic carpet you'd want one with a personality like in Aladdin?? You'd feel you got ripped off if all you got was the bog standard carpet with foward and reverse. Just watch out you don't come home early and find the carpet doing rude stuff to your pets :) September 03, 2001: September 3, 2001Competition was as fierce asCompetition was as fierce as ever at the 18th annual conference of the American Cheese Society held in Louisville, Kentucky. This year preceedings went well, following last years horric accident which saw 15 cheese delegates churned to death in Kentucky's largest better churner. Congratulations Mike and Carol and to Uplands Cheese Inc. for taking out Best of Show. The Slippery Truffle supports ProjectThe Slippery Truffle supports Project Truffle Where else can you buy such high quality cheese online??

Good resources for info on saving the enviroment and money at the same time. Brought up at lunch andBrought up at lunch and still dont have the answer. If you gamble with stolen money and win. Do you get to keep the winnings if you are caught?? And also, if you cheat to win something, then give the winnings to charity, is that still bad?? Happy Snaps August is done.Happy Snaps August is done. Well I got bored at 21 and stopped. Sorry Ben....... September 01, 2001: September 1, 2001There comes a time inThere comes a time in a persons life when they realise greatness. They rise above to claim victory with skill and grace. My time was last night when I destroyed my PB of 133 and brought it to the new level of 150, in the second game of 3, last night and Ranwick Bowling. It may help that my Campers resemble bowling shoes and that when I put on bowling shoes they fell no different. |
