So a couple days back, I was looking through a thread on the SomethingAwful Forums when someone mentioned the OS-tans. Just look at them. PC operating systems (and miscellaneous hardware and software), anthropomorphized into cute anime girls.

Having heard of them from readeriif, I check out their image forums, and this image turns up. Yep. World War II ( Read more... )

I have been away, mostly busy, but also slacking off.  A month and a half's absence is enough, I suppose. Exams have been over for three weeks.  I have projects in the pipeline, and more learning to do.

It is getting hot in London, these past few weeks.  I have seen ( Read more... )

As of today, I am 24 years old. Well. It's been a good 24 years. Still got a good deal more to look forward to.

I aim to live a hundred more. Wish me luck.

That's all, I suppose.

Reply and I'll tell you something I like about you. Afterward, copy and paste this into your own journal.

This morning, some schmuck called me offering some preposterous deal--fellow wants to sell me unlimited calls from any land lines for just 10 pounds a month, piggybacking off my existing BT account. All he needs is verbal consent from myself. I tell him no. He persists. I say goodbye and put the phone down. Now I wish I'd said many other ( Read more... )

This woman makes my teeth hurt.

Some background. This started out as a thread on the Godawful News subforum of Godawful Fan Fiction. Originally, it was a discussion of a rather gruesome and bizarre case in which a mother severed her child's arms, killing it as a result of its injuries. The discussion then spins off into people wondering how the ( Read more... )

I really should update more often, shouldn't I? Don't have much of an excuse, now, since all my laboratory work for the year is over and done with. No more struggling to align equipment in the dark, no more staring into flickering screens and hard-to-focus microscopes looking for hard-to-see dots. Most of all, no more cudgelling my brains for ( Read more... )

Hoo, boy. I just got pointed to this really weird German safety video. Surprisingly, and perhaps ironically, it's Not Work Safe. And yet, for everything, it's hilariously funny. Laugh-out-loud in the library funny. It's morbid, bloody, and not for the faint-of-heart. And I am still laughing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Staplefahrer ( Read more... )

Erm. Just worked free of coding that damn thing. It's the weekend. I damn well intend to relax. The experiment can take care of itself for awhile ( Read more... )
