Limbo of the Copyright and Adventures in Fair Use

June 19, 2008

Slashdots coverage of the Limbo of the Lost controversy has yielded some really interesting linkfodder. Steve Bovis is apparently a real world class idiot and has taken up the banner in his own name. His lawyer (solicitor) has advised him to keep quiet but it’s pretty obvious he’s proud of his own invention and thinks [...]

Colonization

June 18, 2008

God, game resurrection from nowhere. As I was browsing SMART update at work, I decided to check in the games section just to see what was around.
I found FreeCol, a remake of Colonization in java. There’s a precompiled version on there which you should use if you don’t want to put up with the JAR. [...]

Shooting Clays

June 16, 2008

One of the changes I particularly enjoy, especially on a hot day when it’s tough to be comfortable at a shooting bench is shooting clays. It’s pretty cheap, and you can quickly amass a rolling collection of shotshells suitable for hunting (or busting clays). The going rate is $20 for a box of shells (100 [...]

Obama and Philadelphia

June 16, 2008

I’m pretty sure he’s smoking crack. Someone has to be. Then again I never understood Bill Clinton either and thought the double-talk from him was just as bad. Couldn’t ever nail down an honest word from the guy. You might disagree with Bush’s policy, but it’s been a largely transparent presidency which is why no-one [...]

The Price of Oil

June 10, 2008

Powerline has a really interesting take on the price of oil. What it basically boils down to (complete with a chart I won’t steal), the windfall tax thing is a total sham. Obama didn’t even see fit to show up for a vote on the “tax the oil companies more” legislation he touted.
If we want [...]

Hillary and Obama

June 4, 2008

My take on the whole nomination thing is that if Hillary and Obama can put together a joint-ticket, they would be in the whitehouse tomorrow. The problem is twofold – Obama won’t accept backseats to Hillary (and looks like he wants another minority running mate) and Hillary doesn’t want backseats to Obama. Then the DNC [...]
