It’s about time I got back into this blogging thing.
It’s been what, 7 months since my last entry? D:
I’m going to attempt to update once a week. Can’t guarantee it, but I kinda miss the blogging stuff.
I’ve installed a new theme and gotten rid of a whole bunch of plugins, so the site should load much faster.
First entry coming up shortly… after Chinese food. SWEET ‘n’ SOOOUUUUURRRRR!
ohai!
So, I’ve spent the last three days working on a site. Three days of hard work has gone into it, and it’s ready for release.
It’s a social portal. You can add links to all your profiles on social sites such as facebook, twitter and the like, as well as adding links to your blog(s), or even just your favourite sites. Your profile is customisable, you can change all the colouring, add a profile picture, add a background picture, etc. There’s more customisation to come in the near future, but as the weekend draws to a close, I’ve gotten the core of the site up and running, ready to be released. There are a few profiles up and running smoothly already, please feel free to create your own. :)

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to ohai.im and register a free account now! :)
The Future of Input Devices
I had to post this, it’s awesome. The video explains it much better than I can, but it’s basically a new input system, developed to not require interfaces. Instead, it uses electromyography (EMG) sensors to translate muscle signals from the skin’s surface. The project is a joint collaboration between Microsoft, the University of Washington in Seattle, and the University of Toronto in Canada.
The video shows a guy playing Guitar Hero with nothing more than an air guitar. (I’m sure there are dozens of amusing air guitar videos I could link to here, but I only ever find the idiots who take it seriously. Feel free to post a funny in the comments)
Final thoughts: What if you’ve lost a finger?
Arnold Schwarzenegger WIN!
I lol’d.
Arnold Schwazenegger "Fuck You"
To the Members of the California State Assembly:
I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature.
For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
unnecessary bills come to me for consideration. Water reform, prison reform, and health
care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just
kicks the can down the alley.Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians
overwhelmingly deserve. In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is
unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Post a comment – Win a Google Wave invite!
Google Wave is awesome. And as of today, I have some invites to dish out. So here’s a contest to win one.
Simple stuff really. Just post a comment. It asks for your email address, enter the email address you want the invite to go to. Subscribe to this post, and I’ll announce the winners in a comment on Friday 13th November, 2009.
One entry per email address. 3 up for grabs. Get commenting. :)
Monarch Recruitment: lolwut?
Got an email from Monarch Recruitment today, epic fail from a guy named Luke Osborne. (Yes, I’m hoping to get his name tied to the word “fail” in google)
First up, a bit of background:
About a year ago, I was looking for a job in IT. I tried everything, even putting my CV on some recruitment sites: bad idea.
I received a hell of a lot of spam, and have been added to agency spammailing lists. But generally, they will send them out to just one person at a time.
Not Monarch. They’ve outdone themselves as a fail agency this time.
Received an email which was addressed to 810 people. I’d also like to point out that I don’t recall getting my name changed to FIRST_NAME by Deed Poll.
This’ll do a damage to the vscroll on this site for a while, but it’s so worth it.
All email addresses have been changed to x@domain.com for privacy. (regex ftw!)

Google Wave!
ZOMG I GOT MY INVITE TODAY!
I actually got it last night at about 3am when I went to bed, so I decided to wait until today to play with it. And… I luffs it!
In fact, you’ve probably noticed the widget on the right, which shows a wave that I set up just for my blog.
In case you can’t see it yet (you have to have a wave account, though the wave is public so I don’t need to add you for you to see it), here’s a screenshot of how it will look when you get on. (Note I said when, not if. There’s a bloody huge hype about this, I expect a hell of a lot of people, especially the type that read all my ramblings here, to have an account eventually!) ;)
In case you’re wondering how I did it, I added “embeddy@appspot.com” to the wave, and it gave me the code to embed the wave. Simple as that. :)
Now I’m just waiting to get the ability to send out invites. Can’t do it yet, but apparently you only get 8 and I’ve promised most of them to friends already, so no giveaways here I’m afraid!
Quick screenshot, nothing in-depth since I’m too lazy to do a massive writeup. :\
If you have google wave, this is the wave on the right, just a bit bigger:
Why is there a dead Pakistani on my couch?
…well? I certainly didn’t put it there.
Actually, I’ve heard it’s from Lost. Which is a terrible show.
I just found this amusing and thought I’d share.
Office space to rent in Burntwood
what is this i dont even
I’ve never posted anything like that here. If it was AmmNet, at work, I might understand since we do have office space to rent. But how has that reached my site? O.o
Though I realise that I’m now going to have a permalink with this text in, header tags and image alts, I will understand if I get those hits in the future.
SmartCalc for Android
SmartCalc is my first “proper” app, and I’m quite proud of it.
Scan barcode to download:
The UI is split across three tabs (similar to brainfuck) but the app itself is totally different.
First Tab: Formulas
The first tab lists all your formulas, which are conveniently stored in a database on your phone. Here, you can save, modify and delete your formulas. If you select one, you will be flicked to the second tab, to enter the variables required for calculation. You can also long press on an item in this tab and tap “share” to make it available online. It then gets queued for approval by yours truly, and, if approved, it will appear in the “online formulas” tab. (More on this later)
Second Tab: Calculation
This is the main tab in the application. Once you have selected a formula, the contents of this tab are dynamically created so that you can enter whichever variables you need. For example, for the formula eff = (746 x HP)/(1.732 x V x A x PF), you will be faced with 4 textboxes, to enter HP, V, A and F. Once you have entered all the values, simply hit the calculate button and the app will parse the equation, filling in any variables with the values you entered, and spit out the total at the bottom of the tab.
Third Tab: Online Formulas
This one’s quite similar to the first tab. Here, you can tap a formula to load it into the second tab, or you can long press an item and save it. These formulas come from a database which I store on my server, and are only visible if I approve them.
