 ISLabs reboot?

August 5, 2011

In March this year,  I complained about how ISLabs seemed to have become defunct, and had become a haven for spam comments.

A few weeks later some of it was cleaned up.

But it seems that now ISLabs has completely rebooted ?

No more content at all, all ye olde stuff be-gone, and it pretty much appears to be a reset of the original drupal installation? It’s a pity. I believe in the durability of web content (except of course, for spam).

I hate it when URL’s disappear. Of course, part of the reason I think it’s disappeared is because people like Justin Spratt are no longer tending to these things, and thus the drive is gone.

Oh well. All things come to an end I guess. /me listens to the rustling of the leaves.

 



 

 Moral dilemma

July 28, 2011

So, today I installed Virtual Box on my windows desktop, because of x.y and z.

I got the following prompt:

 

I’m not sure why it even asks. “Always trust software from ‘Oracle Corporation'”?

You must be mad.

 



 

 A well written article with enough vitriol

Well done to Tarryn van der Byl

According to a report over on Patent Arcade, the lawsuit contends that Zynga persuaded SocialApps to share the source code for its own social networking game, myFarm, then simply made off with it.

It’s not the first time Zynga has faced similar accusations– shortly after launching Farmville, sceptical critics pointed out its uncanny resemblance to Slashkey’s Farm Town, a MySpace / Facebook game which is pretty much exactly the same as Farmville.

Perhaps more importantly, why does anybody play this crap?



 

 Vodafail Again….

I dunno,

I must be the un-luckiest bastard in the world.

Why is it that whenever I need to access this site, it’s broken ?
