You're East Timor!

You're small and lonely and have finally gotten free of a very bad
situation.  It seems like everyone was willing to rescue you, though the wait was
excrutiating for everyone to wake up and set you free.  Now you're still lonely,
but happier in the loneliness since you never really liked people to begin with.
 And people respect you more than you really think they should, using you as an
example for what they hope to accomplish.

You're Pakistan!

You used to ask people what they thought about things, but quite
recently you've decided to just do stuff without asking nicely.  You really want to go
to the mountains, but for some reason, people won't let you, mostly because they won't let
acquire any nice sweaters.  In the meantime, you're avoiding alcohol and pork and trying
to balance eating right with not falling behind in your competition with your next-door

Everything's So... Green

My monitor has decided to turn green. I'm not sure why. It's not like the last monitor to turn green, where the green made it impossible to see the display without a lot of squinting, as well as having bright green fixed oscilloscope display. No, instead, it's just got a green tinge to everything. Ah well. Time to get a new monitor - which means I can use the monitor box to store stuff for the move!

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what

really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

My adventure for today
So I go downstairs. Hit the power button, wait for The Demon to boot.

I get the ASUS PC Probe window displaying that my CPU fan is NOT running. I check the fan.. Indeed ASUS PC Probe is correct.

My Fan-0 No Spin-o.

My CPU temp after about 90 seconds of running was at 66DegC and about 20 seconds later the mainboard alarm started.

After calling no less than 6 places to get a fan, these are the responses
*   Not open
*   'cant help'
*   'no stock'
*   not open
*   'yeah we got some, come have a look'
*   check the website (I wondered how I was supposed to do this without a functioning PC, but I decided that this fuckwit probably had enough crap given to him due to his basic lack of comprehension and therefore probably didn't need another ripping into. That and with his intellect he would probably be plugging his tongue into a live power socket soon after the conversation ended.)

I decided that the 5th option was the best bet. So $38 later I have an 80x80 fan that is keeping things nice-and-where-it-should-be, with 3 blue LED's (what is it with LED's?)

This is a similar fan.

If only it had happened last night then I would have been able to make my own Pizza instead of waiting 1 hour 21 minutes for it.

Why I love the Internet

Today in Brisbane was hot. Stupidly hot. I was curious as to exactly what temperature 'stupidly hot' equated to, so I went hunting around here to find out. After some digging, I found the info I wanted.

At the time, I didn't go down to the bottom of that data page, so I didn't see the map of where the temperature stations were located. Instead, I went to a different part of the BOM site where you can get the lat/long of all measuring stations. So, I had myself some map coordinates for the Brisbane measuring station, but I still didn't know where it really was. So I do a Google search for 'online atlas'.

One of the links that came back was for National Geographic's Map Machine. This is one seriously cool toy. Type in a place name, and it will bring it up in the map window (it may give you a list to choose from first if you weren't specific enough). Once you have that, you get it to show you other, related maps (e.g. if you search for Brisbane, one of the options on Related Atlas Maps will be 'Brisbane, Australia'. Selecting that will change the main map view to one of Brisbane and its surrounds, showing roads and suburbs and the like).

Then there are other toys like viewing time zones, or population density, or elevation information. . . missing that map on the BOM page seems to have been a rather fortuitous mistake!

I just watched a movie called "Vampire Hunters" produced by Tsui Hark. I thought it was great. and would strongly recomend it to people who like HK action (Josh and Lance this means you). Personaly I think its about the best vampire movie I've seen (Though chinese vampires are somewhat different than eropean ideas, and are much less friendly. Powerwise they make Buffy style vamp look like todlers, and Dracula look like a pansy, of course they also make Nosferatu look like a supermodel). So 1700's China with swords and Spears and Weighted chains verses Super Vamps and zombies.
Meanwhile this is the only review on IMDB:


"This is THE worst movie I have EVER seen! It is SOOOOO bad I felt compelled to write this message: DON'T EVER SEE THIS FILM! IT IS SO DREADFUL YOU FEEL STUPID FOR HAVING WATCHED IT! PLEASE DO NOT SEE THIS FILM

Seriously, the most pointless piece of crap I have ever seen, the story didn't make much sense, the effects were D-grade, they were that bad and the fighting has nothing on a B-grade Hong Kong action flick. Absolutely terrible. "

Here's a tip. Read what people actually write, not what you would like
them to write. I'm sick of repeating myself. And no, shields are not
purely against laser energy. The DS's exhaust port had ray shielding
only, hence the necessity to use torpedoes, but starfighters have more
rounded protection.

Cogitating Garbage Brain

A comment made at, I think, our most recent gaming day (which was probably in the 19th century) has been circulating around in my brain. It had to do with the unfeasibility of BattleMechs a la Battletech.

Now, while I'll agree that in Battletech, 'Mechs are the kings of the battlefield, I still hold them to be impractical from more of a real-world point of view. This is because in Battletech, many of the design problems of mecha in general are conveniently ignored (much like human-controlled fighters in Star Wars, or the lack of engineering review in Star Trek - it's a genre convention). These are things like the vulnerability of complex drivetrains like legs; the balance issues inherent in firing massive autocannons from the arms of 'Mechs; the idea of being a big fat target on the battlefield; and others.

I finally hit on the main reason 'Mechs are practical in Battletech - their armour is way stronger than anything on modern Earth. This is true even of tanks and suchlike - on earth, a single SRM shot from an infantry soldier can destroy a top-of-the-line tank (albeit only if shot at the rear armour), and tanks have a fair chance of penetrating the other's front armour in a single shot.

In Battletech, it will often take several SRM hits, even on the back of a tank, to destroy it. Of course, BT still assumes 'Mechs can carry vastly more armour than anything else on the field, but at least it explains how their legs aren't especially more vulnerable than their other bits. It still doesn't completely explain why the complexity required to build 'Mechs isn't applied more effectively to tanks, but it's a start.

A real-world mecha would be more expensive than a tank and less useful than a soldier. It would be slower and less protected than a tank, as well as not being able to mount as large weapons (the speed is a function of having big, heavy legs to support it - takes a lot of power to move - while the others come from needing to cut the weight so it can still move on those legs). It wouldn't be able to get everywhere infantry could (though it might arguably have greater range than a tank - maybe). It would also be hellishly more expensive to maintain, as a walking drivetrain has a lot more points of failure than a wheeled or tracked one. Further, you won't be able to armour the joints. (Imagine a straight leg, and surround the knee with a steel plate. Now, try to bend it.) 'Mechs look cool, but need super-tech to be at all feasible, and if you have super-tech, you can make better tanks with it.

Is this any clearer now, Grant? :)

Why Have Jails if You Don't Use Them?

I'm sure anybody who's watched any kind of news in the past week would have seen the footage of the feral creature who stole the purse of a poor bloody 92 year old woman shopping at Chermside last week. The scum-bag has handed herself into the police. Now get this.

At the time of the robbery, she was serving a suspended sentence for a second crime, was on probation for a third, and on bail for a fourth.

That's right - this parasite has a history of doing this kind of thing. And the response of our weak-arsed judiciary in Queensland - let the creep out again, and again, and again. If you're not going to do anything about these creatures, why arrest them in the first place? Such habitual offenders are never going to learn from their mistakes. They'll simply continue to abuse society and innocent people around them, so long as they continue to escape any of punishment whatsoever. Screw rehabilitating these parasite. How about protecting the rest of society from this type of scum instead? Or isn't that acceptable to the pro-PC, wishy-washy, bleedling heart, left-wing socialist wankers running Queelsand's government?

The World Turns...

Now, I'm not about to mention any names here, as I've got privacy considerations, among others, to worry about. So I'll dub the person I'm going to talk about 'Brenda'. Mainly because the person is male.

A few years ago now, back when I was still working at the servo, I got held up by a guy holding a syringe. I later found he was called Brenda when the detective came around for me to sign my statement. Apparently, he'd been quite blase about the whole thing, was Hep C positive, and would have happily stabbed me if I hadn't turned over the money. In other words, a real charmer.

So, I get a call from a guy today, saying that he just rang a friend of his and found out a guy named Brenda, an escapee from a halfway house, was over at the friend's house. I run a check, and, sure enough, a Brenda who pretty much matches the description of the Brenda that held me up got away from a halfway house some time in the last few days. Even down to the Hep C and the armed robbery charge.

I don't know what became of the attempt to recapture Brenda, unfortunately, as that was going to be handled by another area - but this is the second time a call I've made will lead to him being put in jail. Life's weird, innit?
