My headphones are fixed

Today I finally fixed my DJ headphones. The plug end had a bad connection. Having headphones give out, even if it is just one channel, is No Good when you are playing live. I thought I better fix it before KiwiBurn.

Anyhow, what follows is a brief description of how to do so.

Supreme Commander

In case you all didn’t all ready know:
Supreme Commander is a new game coming out 23rd Feb and designed by the maker of Total Annihilation.
I hope it is just a fraction as good as TA, and then it’ll still be pretty awesome.

Religions are barbaric

Only religion could come up with such screwed up behaviour:

2000 pigs as sacrifice to deity General Chao of Wudeh temple. Even if you’re not vegetarian, the sheer scale of waste is stupid, each marketable pig requires 280 kg of feed. That’s 560 tonnes of feed for a non-existent deity. Yay humans, masters of screwing the […]

Celestia

This is mainly for Bob if he hasn’t already seen it, but others might enjoy it too.
Celestia - It is the most awesome planeterium software ever. Particularly because of the addons you can get.

I have a question which the internet/google didn’t immediately answer for me.
I have a really nice Microsoft (I know that sounds like an oxymoron) USB mouse, but unfortunately the USB cord has given up on it around the plug. My question is thus: Is there anyway of salvaging a mouse that is perfectly fine except […]

I have too much bandwidth.

Obviously I overestimated how popular I’d be on the internets.

Disk Space: 627.00 MB of 100000.00 MB (0.63%)
Bandwidth: 1314.00 MB of 1000000.00 MB (0.13%)

Still it’s good to have leeway, and I still have several more sites to host. Such as AmplifyMe and YourOI.com.
Also when my White Elephant radio show starts up in […]

Children of Dune Miniseries

I just finished watching the 5 hours mini-series entitled the Children of Dune. The only Dune book I read was the original, which I really enjoyed but haven’t gotten around to reading anymore - thus I have some background on Dune, but can’t compare how the series relates to the book.
It’s a good thing I […]

I like this quote

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can’t readily accept the God formula, the big answers don’t remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own […]

SL4 Survey Results

Back in September 2006 I posted a survey to the SL4 mailing list hoping to determine the demographics of the list, since a few people were wondering just who was reading, and who was interested in the Singularity.
Sl4 is a mailing list for high technology ideas. SL stands for Shock Level, which categorises technology based […]

The post is a list of singularity-related material, even if it is quite tenuously connected.
Some of these contributions were made along with comments by PJ Manney after some discussion on AGIRI’s singularity mailing list.
