You Have An Appointment On Link Wednesday With Dr. Online

Posted in Link Wednesday at 7:15 am

For fans of Trent and bees, Year Zero looks to be right up your alley. I’m not entirely drawn in by such things but I do tend to enjoy a little NIN now and again, so I’m following it with interest.

Speaking of interest, the Month of PHP Bugs project has me mildly discomfited. Given that PHP was and is my most favored web language, I tend to get defensive about its flaws. I know they’re there, and unfortunately there’s little I can do save for code around them, so as long as I’m doing my job right (which I’m pretty sure I am) I and my clients have nothing to worry about. However, I’m sure that Mr. Esser has a handful of bombs to drop that can’t be coded around. And that’s what worries me.

I remain an aficionado of all things related to the former TechTV, partly because TechTV was awesome but more because I find Leo Laporte amusing. Hearing that he’d taken his long-running KFI Tech Guy show national had made me very happy indeed… until I realized that it’s not in Pittsburgh yet. Soon, I’m sure. Until then, the podcast netcast will suffice.

Konami blasted out news on several Bemani titles at the Japanese arcade show last week, including news on IIDX 14th, Pop’n 15, and word that DDR SuperNova 2 was indeed in the works. Also on the Konami front, would you like to take a survey? Do you like Solid Snake? Do you like Microsoft? Would you like to see Solid Snake working for Microsoft while eating beans with George Wendt at the movies?

Inconsequential Update: 16 scenes left, 79,300 words written over 140 pages. That’s three for the week, with two more to go before I can slack off… though if this streak continues, I might want to take it as far as it can go.

Finally, I have received a wonderful and unexpected present. As soon as I find the cable to my digital camera, I will be able to let you all know exactly where I stand with regards to a certain individual. As if my position towards this man– no, this rotting husk of a man, this Thing Which Should Not Be posing in the defiled flesh drapery of manhood– were not clear enough.
