“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Well that will certainly wake them up!

Well that will certainly wake them up!

The latest POWERWOLF album dropped at the end of last week, and of course, I jumped on it pretty much immediately. Having listened to it pretty much continuously for the past week or so, I have to say, it is – to use the highly technical term – SUPER AMAZEBALLS...
Monday morning not-a-lympics

Monday morning not-a-lympics

Well, that Monday snuck up on us pretty damned fast, didn’t it? And yes, this one is probably a bit late for many, and not quite complete. That cannot be helped. I was EXTREMELY busy over the weekend and today, and did not quite have enough time to give this a...
Sunday Scripture: The Ruined Loincloth

Sunday Scripture: The Ruined Loincloth

13 Thus says the Lord to me, “Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, and do not dip it in water.” 2 So I bought a loincloth according to the word of the Lord, and put it around my waist. 3 And the word...
The lie that ran around the world

The lie that ran around the world

The video you see below is one that has sparked an immense scandal in PommieBastardLande. It shows a police officer at an airport basically landing a football kick on a prone and seemingly defenceless Muslim man. The video originally released of the incident sparked a...

One for the overly polite effete northerners

Canadians do not get much love around here, and with pretty good reason. When I lived in the FUSA, all the Americans I knew, essentially looked at Canuckistanis as the effete, probably gay, far too polite, French-speaking, very confused cousins of the Free and the...
Friday T&A: Codecog Edition

Friday T&A: Codecog Edition

Yes, I know, it is not actually Friday. The past week was (of course) stupidly busy, and while I realise that is a rather worn excuse, the fact is, when you are up until past midnight trying to get an SQL script to run, because you have a severe and incurable case of...

Domain Query: Come to the Dark Side, we have penguins

LRFotS and fellow HALO afficionado MrUNIVAC writes a follow-on request to my original poast about programming for N00BS (well, sort of), to ask about how to migrate to the Dark Side: Realize this is a cold thread, but any recommendations for a Linux version that a...
Monday morning Crowdstrike cock-up

Monday morning Crowdstrike cock-up

What a Friday that was, eh? It was actually quite hilarious to watch, from afar, mostly because everyone I know and work with, was completely unaffected. I also had no issues at all, simply because I use Linux at home, and only use my WinDOZE partition for gaming. So...
Between the Dummy and the Derp State

Between the Dummy and the Derp State

OK, honestly, chaps, would whoever it is that is running this crazy ride please quit already? Stop the world, it is too insane, I want to get off. This has been one of those days when weeks happen in the space of hours. I refer, of course, to the fact that the Fake...
Sunday Scripture: The Ruined Loincloth

Sunday Scripture: Famine, Sword, and Death

16 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. 3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the...
