What the fuck is wrong with people why the fucking hell do they stand right outside the train doors and attempt to get on before people can get off the thing? Don’t you get that if you all crowd around the fucking door then of course your going to get pushed out the fucking way so we can get on to the platform. Don’t then fucking complain that your snivelling child got knocked the fuck out of the way or kneed in the face because you pushed him so close to the fucking door he was practically humping the fucking thing. Yes people really are that fucking stupid I see it on a bi-daily basis. Maybe if I grabbed a couple of the fucking idiots and threw them on to the opposite tracks it might stop them doing it the same fucking people every mother fucking day.
Taking public transport was supposed to calm me down but that kind of behaviour is just fucking stupid. I got a right look from some trendy slapper the other day because I walked between her and her chavtastic boyf, well wtf did they expect? Maybe I should have phased through them or done some sort of super human vault over them? Don’t even fucking dare look at me like that when your the fucking ones in the wrong. Cunts.
It’s not just that though oh no I could almost possibly cope with that, the kids that get on the train in the morning then run screeching up and down the length of the train dodging the conductors, ffs is it such a wonder that I get grouchier as I get older. Kids are just disrespectful and down fucking right annoying. Playing shite music from tinny mobile phone speakers, constant fucking shouting and general annoying as fucking hell behaviour to everyone over the age of 25 (I gather than is a sweeping statement yes and that some 25’s and above are utter wankers too).
Considering I’m trying really fucking hard seriously hard not to let this kind of shit get to me its really fucking me off so much I would love to build a giant blender and see if the little fuckers will blend. Can you imagine how it would sound? “DIE YOU LITTLE FUCKERS” oh the sounds of crunching bone and joined by the metal clang as shitty Nokia’s and Sony Ericssons meld together with running red goo over the mighty roar of a tuned W16 engine powering the contraption. Ah if only :)
Check this massive crackberry out! How executive do I feel with this badboy :)
I’ve been trying to spend more time paintung and drawing again of late. I knocked these up for the living room on the Mrs request. She really is in to American crime dramas. I know not my bag either.
You know sometimes you can have too much of a good thing? Pretty much what WET is all about. Great sound track, fun game play a right good time for all of a couple of levels. No way I can be arsed making it through the rest of the game tbh.
I loved the demo to death I was so looking forwards to the full game, I just wanted more – no I craved more. I was wrong. No matter how much cool arse slow-mo you have have and hot you make a woman and her sword you really cant make a entire game out of something so shallow.
Ok if you want to play it through it’s a very average from the half of the game I played at least, 3rd person action slashemup. You have a bullet time facility and other than that its pretty much John Woo’s equally bland and uninspiring Strangle Hold with a female lead.
Verdict: Best avoided
Yeah you guessed it a vampire movie, no surly not! Really it is I shit you not. How long’s it been since you last saw a vampire movie? Five maybe six hours? Yeah really vampire movies are that popular.
From the trailer I had somewhat high hopes for the Daybreakers, I mean it has Willem Dafoe and Ethan Hawke usually two pretty good actors. Sorry usually is a bad term, tbh their performances are good in the movie – not surprisingly Dafoe is memorable in his role. The rest of the movie well not so. For the most part I’ve already started to forget it thankfully.
What started off as a good if something of a cribbed idea from the totally shite cinema version of the great novella “I am legend” turned in to a frightful borefest. Some interesting editing turned the pacing form good to a total waste, the plot progression is better in a Mr Man book tbh and don’t even get me started at where the story ended up.
Basic plot of the movie goes something like everyone on earth is a vampire, people are farmed for blood, oooh sudden cure that the no one wants after a synthetic blood substitute is found. Think a cross between “Children of Man” and “I am legend”. Just thinking about it more than I have to is making me down. So much promise but tbh I don’t really have anything positive to say about it. Avoid it. Really it’s not worth seeing :/
Ezio Bytey Ferrienzo master assassin.
With Big Geoff out of action for the moment I’ve been getting the train over to the office for a couple of days. Normally not a issue but due to living at the top of a big fuck off hill coupled with the current weather situation the commutes turned I to something of a nightmare though.
I got to the station this morning to be greeted by the most miserable of rail employees. After barking to a group of us we needed to get away from the the platform and make alternate travel arrangements because the trains are all cancelled, someone asked him if there would be a bus service offered for local links. Motherfucker nearly hulked out and went on a epic rant. I have to say I was both impressed and disgusted at his behaviour.
So off I mission, Bytey the snow geek to the other side of town to the bus station to grab a chagrin wagon to Keighley then on to sunny Silsden. After bearly making it to the bus station alive because of some particularly difficult to negotiate level 8 ice, and me all out if continues I made it to the rape (no wait I mean bus) station.
I’m sat here now waiting hoping the third bus won’t miss and that I might be able to get to the office because you know I don’t have say and stuff so I can’t just work from a cafe or a tree or I don’t know home I have to be in the office :/
Finally a bus as turned up and I’m on my way to Keighley just gone a quater to nine packed so tight on a over crowed bus just typing this is almost impossible. The overwhelming smell of body odour and cheap perfume. The din of dance music played from at least 5 different phones is driving me insane even over the soothing tones of Ed Allenye-Johnsons awesomeness turned up to a reasonable level.
At least normally I’d have my netbook, camera and a actual book to read but alas my bag is in a state of flux atm I’ve made the trade off between weight and functionality while the weather is bad. Seems this was a bad choice on my part. Lucky then I have my phone literally in so many senses my Hero. If the woman next to be pushes me further in the corner I’m going to get all Mortal Kombat on her and rip out her fucking womb. God this is Hell. The times just approaching 9 and we are about half way to Keighley:/ The smell of impreial leather is making me want to vomit (maybe on the woman next to me, that might be a fun payback for her massive bulk crushing me).
This is really doing my head in I’m not prepared for this I don’t have anything like a cattle prod to make them keep my distance. I’m wondering now if this is really worth the effort to get there. I reckon at least a hour before I make it to thhe office and I’m not going to be in any semblance of a good mood then I have to to the entire thing in reverse. What fucking joy.
Want to add a custom command string that you use a lot. Use a persistent alias, this is simple enough to do here’s a example of creating a custom command that will connect to a remote box when the you type its name.
Assuming your running Ubuntu fire up your favourite text editor either gedit or nano/pico/emacs/vi whatever and have a the dot file in your home directory
.bashrc
Now you can either add a call to another file that will contain your aliases so you can more easily move them between machines or you can just bung your alias in here. I’m going with the latter in this case. Page down to the end of the file (this is just preference) and enter something like this
#Some aliases to connect to my remote boxes
alias kong=’ssh admin@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’
or
#Some aliases to connect to my remote boxes
alias foo=’ssh foo@bar’
The # denotes a comment line of course and the rest is pretty self explanatory ’Foo’ can be any non reserved alphanumeric string and depending on if you have a local hosts file or how you have your DNS set up you can use IP or hostname to connect to the box, again this should be fairly self explanatory. Next time you start your session you will be able to simply (while in a terminal) type in
foo
Simple. If you want to reload the your profile inside you current session without logging out after you’ve saved your changes to you .bashrc do something like
. .bashrc
or
. ./path/to/.bashrc
Job done.
Been the safe kinda guy I am I thought I would rig up a wheel cam on the way to work yesterday morning and visually chart my progress in the epic bad conditions. The results you can see below. Top left to bottom right. Sorry about the quality I got a bit giddy with the resizing and could not be arsed to reimport and not do them so small.
I’ve needed to resize groups of images of late a couple of times of late both in scripts and also just while doing general day to day tasks. Using Ubuntu I tend to use imagemagick for resizing a rotating images etc. I thought it might help some of you that are a little newer to Linux to know how to do something like that from the CLI (though you can wrap it in a script and run it from in Nautilus).
So I want to resize a directory of images from a terminal you either navigate to the directory or pass the full pull and do something like
mogrify -resize 320×240! /path/to/directory/*.jpg
Notice the ‘!’ I’ve thrown in there, that basically tells the command not to be smart and try and preserve the aspect ratio and which might not give you exactly the dimensions we have specified and, but instead just resize the image in the x and y space to what we’ve told it absolutely. If however you want to maintain the aspect ratio for some reason simply omit the ‘!’ from the command.
Simple. Hope that helps someone as simple as it maybe if you know where to look it might be a little confusing if your new to Linux.
OK it’s winter I get it already but fucking hell! Today I’ve been wearing three pairs of socks and my feet have been numb. For years I seriously used to love winter but this year it’s just been a total nightmare. My god what I wouldn’t give for a little bit of nice warm sunshine.
More snow as to come I’m not sure I can actually work down in the office if it’s as cold as it was today down there. I felt the the bloody stay puffed marshmellow man I had that many layers on! Pretty much the only time I’ve been warm today was at the gym.
I never got the whole SAD thing until this year but the lack of day light really as put me in a constantly bad mood (yes more so than normal). The summer still seems so bloody far away with its warm full smile and long enduring days that just lend themselves to lazing around having fun with friends.
What I need is the equator specifically to live on it somewhere nice an quiet where I can do my own thing ahhh bliss.
It seems like the Christmas breaks just gone on and on this year. Maybe because it’s actually snowed for the first time in god knows how many years and made it marginally festive. Yes yes even I at times felt a maybe just a little bit of the Christmas spirit.
That said all that bullshit is behind me now and I’m back to been me. This year I have decided to do several things. I will mostly be spending less time on the internet chatting. I’m not sure I can handle the repetitive inane conversations that happen day in a day out with the same people it’s actually driving me slowly insane. The other thing is spend more time at the gym and tell the people that say I spend too much time there already to fuck off and die. I enjoy it and well it beats sitting around doing fuck all at home watching the utter shite that’s on tv.
There are a couple of other things that I want to change this year and I fully plan on actually doing so, but much like the gym rather than broadcast my intent I’m just going to do it. It’s going to be good I really do need to do stuff to make my life a little more positive and since I’m fastly approaching the big 30 I think it’s the right time to do so.
For the past couple of years I’ve tried to do things that made everyone else happy, but after some serious thought over the past several months I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of people are going to be miserable no matter what, so I’m pretty much going to do exactly as I want do things because I want to and if others don’t want to get involved or give things a go it’s not my problem. Some one said there’s no point in living with regret so I might as well go places and do things, plus its a opportunity to get out with my camera. I really have had a lazy life and tbh it was shit I’m totally up for going and doing things. It’s going to be good people!
I realise that I might be a little late to the table with this, if you play games then you almost certainly know that Batman: Arkham Asylum is more or less a great game. Well yes, yes it is. I’m not saying it’s without it’s problems but the few tiny niggles I have really have done nothing to to stop me enjoying what is probably for me my single player game of last year.
If your a Batman fan you owe it to yourself to play it. Other than it generally really delivering in the action stakes with the true flowing combat system it’s the only game based on everyones favourite nocturnal detective that actually delivers a accurate representation of the comic character.
You’ll almost certainly have a couple of geekgasms as it pays lip service to the more astute fan and each and every time it does you’ll end up a little closer to total comic\video game happiness! Play it Play it now.
Have a happy new year everyone!
Hope we all see flying cars and everyone wearing bright white mono suites as we transcend into a new year of happiness and prosperity! Yeah I know the chances are somewhere between slim and none but hey what the heck!
Play safe people and don’t get too twatted!
Yes I realise its technically still happening but technically I probably would shag your mum so stop complaining! Gathered together because I’ve not finished playing Batman:Arkham Asylum to tell you just how much I love it have some festive stats instead.
