This ridiculous reuters article being linked to by the usual suspects made me laugh. Apparently the use of handheld electronics is causing a mutation in youngsters hands making the thumb their most dextrous digit! I quote:
The guys at Goshu Trading have converted a Mac SE 30, (a machine with no hard drive), to run OSX. via Wired.
I’ve probably been living under a rock but I hadn’t actually realised that these are real human corpses!
I used to love adventure gamebooks so it’s a real treat to find this collectors lovingly maintained site which lists just about every one I ever had. The ones I remember best are the Choose Your Own Adventure books, TSRs Endless Quest series, Steve Jackson & Ian Livingstone’s Fighting Fantasy books (of course), and my personal favourites Be An Interplanatary Spy, of which I owned all but the last 2.
Nope it’s not the new iPod.
After our extended hiatus we’re back like a pantomime cow, with a refined back-end and a cheery new front-end. The two main changes you can actually see are the new playlist sidebar, and the absence of the registration and login system. You should now be able to post comments with a minimum of hassle. Just give a name and away you go. There’s also a new “about us” page with a little about who we are and how to get in touch.
Grand Royal magazine puts forth the argument that the word “Mosh” has it’s origins in hardcore, more specifically HR of the Bad Brains and his admonitions to “Mash it up!”.. who’da thunk? If only the print version of Grand Royal had kept going longer. 6 or 7 issues was nowhere near enough. To ease the loss there’s more bits and pieces from the online verson here.
Just to let you know the site re-design has turned into a re-build. I’ve re-designed it and Matt’s got to re-build it, hehe..
Christmas and a possible impending re-design have caused our brief hiatus, normal service will resume soon :)
