inthefade: Fuck Gnome Chomsky. Seriously. Fuck that gnome. That is one achievement I am never going to get because it’s way too frustrating and hard, especially when you’re playing with two AI idiots because you don’t want to play with online idiots. I have this achievement, mostly by piggy backing on the back of some achievement whores when they did it. I can imagine trying it with internet...

On girly talk
Today I found out that my good friend Toby, who lives just four miles away, has a new girlfriend. I found this out via Danielle who lives 4,000 miles away, who in turn found it out from another friend of mine, Sharon, who lives about 30 miles away. Danielle met Sharon when she visited me in December. So that information travelled a little over 8,000 miles to reach me. This is either proof that...

On Adobe Lightroom
As iPhoto won’t work with the Panasonic RW2 files my camera makes, I am considering alternatives. Now, I’m a smart guy and I’ve been using computers for two and a half decades, and yet Adobe Lightroom is baffling me.

This is a recipe for making your own Baileys-like... →
Eww! No! That sounds horrible. Coffee? Sweetened condensed milk? Chocolate syrup? I find the idea of Bailey’s quite nice, but the execution horrible. It’s a sacchrine, overly synthetic taste. What you want is Merlyn, a cream liquer made by Penderyn, the only Welsh whisky company. It’s made with hardly any flavourings at all, just cream and distilled grain spirit (note that...
