 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 ?
