Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Mar 19, 2010 5:00am PDTHere is a selection of stuff I done saw and did liked:
Digital: A Love Story is a brilliant "computer mystery/romance set five minutes into the future of 1988." Centred around BBSs, Digital features love, hacking, phreaking, mystery and a whole lot of splendidness. I'm pushed for time so I can't write more but Amiga Power's Kieron Gillen wrote some nice words over on Rock Paper Shotgun. We have the Windows, Mac and Linux versions mirrored on FileShack.
This child says he is fat and nobody likes him but I do. He is a liar, which I don't like.
I forgot to mention earlier this week that a video replay of Team Liquid's first StarCraft 2 'Liquibition' exhibition match is now online. It is.
Lovely podcast Shift Run Stop continues to close its pincers around Armando Iannucci by infiltrating his circle of colleagues.
I ran out of time. Here's your Morning Discussion. Be happy--it's Friday.

My son I got a drum for christmas. He's taking lessons every week.
I try to be a bit ahead of him to give him support when he's rehearsing (aka "No, you're doing that wrong, bitch!"). I have to say that Rock Band experience helps a lot!
Waht I can do is the standard rock 1/8 thing: highhat on every 1/8 and base drum and snare drum alternating on full notes. I can play some simple fills and some offbeat stuff. Lots of fun!
I tried to search for drum lessons on youtube but that doesn't seem to be as good as the guitar lesson situation there. Can anybody recommend some lessons/web sites/youtube videos to get me some more things to practice? Standard rock songs preferred.
Thx!

I wonder what that number is for people in the middle of a robbery. Hint, the number is not zero.

I'm between obsessions currently and in the mood to play more go.
anyone up for games on DGS www.dragongoserver.net or else on www.gokgs.com (tonight for kgs)? I talked to a guy last night that was not GloriousCow, I'd love to challenge GloriousCow to a game, I don't think we've ever played despite probably being the top 2 go shackers.

Yesterday I had an advert for a deal on a Delonghi Kettle just hours after I was looking for one online.
Today I had a new oven delivered at home and looked up the model online and I currently have an advert for the EXACT same oven here on the shack.

Ive read quite a few reviews and i can accept that the guns often don't feel very useful aslong as the stealth aspect works well enough.
I'm also convinced of the atmosphere and story of the game.
Anyone played this able to give me an opinion?

Two interesting changes:
Helicopter controls functional when re-entering a spinning helicopter in mid-air.
FOV factor command line option (/fovfactor=, typical values 1.0 - 2.0)
It looks as if they are really listening to feedback, especially as they are so actively patching a demo too. Colour me impressed.

Is there a graphing/scientific calculator app for the ipod touch? Something similar to the functionality of a TI-83 Plus. I'd need something that wouldn't require internet access to use, since quite a few of the buildings on my current campus don't have wireless.
I don't have iTunes installed and the one place I found online that said it was able to view the appstore without itunes (http://app-store.appspot.com/) won't let me search without trying to launch itunes.
and yea, I'd really like to not install itunes on this machine if I can keep from it ;)

So my iPhone had some kind of error when I updated it, and when it restored from backup, it didn't restore any of my downloaded apps. I downloaded Latestchatty again, but it doesn't work. I can view the list of threads in the current chat thread but if I try to go to one I get this error;
"Error! Thread loading failed. Could not parse the response properly."
How can I fix this?
