Scoville Units Unite

An article in the Guardian has the Vatican defending smears on them based on paedophile priest stories. Firstly by claiming that other churches do it too (nice deflection) Secondly by claiming that the majority of paedophile priests were gay. Supremely ironic given one of the vilest homophobic attacks is to claim that gay people are […]

I had been moderately excited for the new Alice movie. I just watched the trailer. What the hell is Burton doing with all this ridiculous CGI? It looked appalling and out of place. Never mind that most of it was completely unnecessary, bah. CGI works if it blends in to the film, if it adds […]

After my forays into the UDM drop-down menu I bit the bullet and decided the best thing for a site would probably be to install some kind of CMS and migrate the data to it. Means she can use a semi-decent HTML editor instead of raw HTML too. I had heard great things about both […]

Going through an XNA tutorial I came across this: [code lang=”csharp”] protected void CheckBulletHits() { // Check to see of any of the players bullets have // impacted any of the enemies. for (int i = 0; i < iMaxBullets; i++) { if (bullets[i].IsActive) for (int x = 0; x < iTotalMaxEnemies; x++) if (Enemies[x].IsActive) […]

Having trawled through Jim McGoverns expenses I spotted some belters. £658 for a computer desk. £4360 to set up his 10 page website – surely not. £123 for a trouser press. £950 for a sofa bed.

Wow, the reactionaries are really on the march lately. Californias Supreme Court rules that no more gay marriages can take place. For an accurate summary of this insanity see this Center For Inquiry post. Can anyone point to an argument against gay marriage not based on religion. I have looked and looked but can’t find […]

There are two stories about Perth today in the papers – both of which are horrendous. The first has been overlooked by the national news: Woman beat for seven hours. A woman was beaten for seven hours by her partner, the neighbours at around midnight heard cries resembling shrieks from a horror film. Neighbours were […]

I am used to seeing all the scam letters from SEO companies guaranteeing first place on Google etc. Lately a friend has been getting pestered by phone calls. Today she had one from Google. Or at least a company impersonating Google. The company was First Search Consulting (). A bunch of snake-oil selling cowboys. I […]

Not being on Facebook, posting this here is a little I can do to help. I would rant about moving into the 21st century, but it is a church we are talking about, moving out of the bronze age would be a good start. Please sign the online petition in favour of Scott Rennie the […]
