Rihards Unplugged

Thanks goes out to Benjamin for pointing this one out to me. Some of you might already know User Friendly, but I imagine that most of you won’t since it’s a very geeky comic. And by very geeky, I really do mean it, some jokes might just go past you without noticing them if you don’t know technical stuff.

But today’s strip is just pure brilliance, and really mirrors what my day was like today. Lots of web work (the boring kind, where you resize images and add text to webpages) and quite a bit of boring print work as well. But wahey for the comic!

Well it has certainly been a very long and slow day. Not much really going on, so I’m just sitting here and browsing through YouTube. Lots of good clips there, like the following one of George W. Bush rapping.

The clip is obviously comedy. Meant to entertain. But it would seem that a lot of people on YouTube (and on a lot of other sites) don’t really understand the concept of humour. And it’s not just Bush supporters who don’t, it’s also Bush haters who really don’t understand humour either. Really a shame. Personally, I love it, and think that people should be able to laugh about things, and if they can’t then well they suck.

And I thought that I had really good HTML skills. This guy basically makes pictures using pure HTML code in the form of tables.

Some people really have too much time on their hands. But that is really nothing new either. Still quite amazing at one can do with a little bit of patience and some basic HTML skills. And of course creativity. Though I suppose that could be computer generated as well.

It would seem that I have been playing a lot of RPGs on the weekends lately, and this weekend is no exception. Last weekend I finished Jade Empire, and I have decided to play Fable this weekend, and maybe even finish it. Though I doubt that that will happen, since I haven’t had that much time to play it today.

From what I have played so far I really like it. Some really cool character customization options as well, and the story seems to be quite good so far as well. Granted it’s yet another xbox port to PC, so the controls and gameplay is quite simplistic, it’s still quite a lot of fun. A proper review, as always will come once I have finished the game.
