I bitch alot. Specificly this moonlight/silverlight ooh-what-about-compatability with proprietry, closed software. Fuck that, I say, lets go make something that fucking rocks and isn’t encumbered by bullshit.

<Greyscale> *sigh* its times like this (silverlight drama) where I wish someone was developing a SDK that allowed embedding into browsers or using a wrapper to let it be run like an executable that had access to graphics stuff like openGL. Like flash on steroids
<Greyscale> But OSS. So it’ll end up being ubiquitous.
<Greyscale> I’d call ie KEA (kia), standing for ‘Kick Everyones Ass’. (But I’d not tell anyone that) <Greyscale> I’m tired of this moonlight bullshit
<Greyscale> I just want to slap their devs and go “MAKE SOMETHING ONE STEP AHEAD. KICK THEIR ASSES, DON’T PANDER TO COMPATABILITY. FOOOOOOLS!”
<Greyscale> (and the same to the GNASH people)
<Greyscale> It’d just need nice, simple syntax (ala PHP) and well thought out functions (not like PHP) and excellent implementations of XML parsers and sockets (like PHP) and things
<Greyscale> your KEA .exe or .bin would just be a file with the KEA runtime (with all the modules required by your project, such as sockets or GD or SQL server doodads) and your script
<Greyscale> It would be so much fucking awsome it’d blow Silverlight and Flash out of the water (if be a bit.. large. But with the steady increase in the number of people who have broadband, that isn’t too much of an issue, is it?)
<Greyscale> for the web mode, it’d just be the script and people would download a browser plugin ALA Adobe Flash
<Greyscale> (with all the modules already present)
<Greyscale> It could be fucking cool. It’d go Chuck Norris all over this silverlight bullshit and roundhouse kick the compatibility issues into the kerb. Because there isn’t anything to be compatable with. We don’t always have to follow the big corporate directions here. We can *create* a new format!
<Greyscale> But people suck, so meh.
<Greyscale> </rant>

Frankly, the OSS development community has to wake the fuck up and stop being distracted by proprietary bullshit. If we can develop better software (and we can) for the good of all people (under the opensource GPL) we can make the proprietary offerings obsolete

First GOOD BETA release

To hell with Office ‘03. I actually like 2007. Does that make me strange? It’s not much, but its an Improvement. And just today I noticed it ONLY consuming 34MB of ram. As opposed to say, all of it.

I’ve come over all weird. Nothing new there I guess then.

Bejesus. We got majorly lost in Oxford after taking a few intentional wrong turns and ended up in a field with cows in. This lead to some strange conversations with Gary on Josh’s mobile. “Hi, we were walking through oxford, now we’re in a field. Halp?”

Cows ahoy!

IT’S A SQVIVVLE!

Things that go quack

Yeee, more squirrel!

Cool boat name and logo. Shame then that its such a mess.

 Here, have a fresh photowank.

UPSKIRT!
