costumes for the monkey house for halloween

Citizens of camdem we want bananas, not sweets or crap american (eg kraft/’cadbury’) chocolate.  Watch for the pith hats and apes.

See you on the 31st. ook

Living in the end of times, Slavoj Žižek

isbn: 9781844675982 is philsopher Zizek’s attempt at destroying the world callings everybody a fraud and he gets away with it. Even Marx is called a fraud and pulls punches that both left and right won’t like.

This european is worth a read 5/5 bananas. Provoking

Tokyo Gore Police

 

creature

 

Is imdb:tt1183732 and bonkers by Yoshihiro Nishimura and features that Saab car model * (this time with house roof) before the americans fucked up that brand and sold it to somebody else.

Theres blood, mutilation, exploitation,  samurai.swords and its cult.

5/5 bananas. * These cars are now hard to get parts for now i understand from some zoo guests we invited for dinner.

Congrats to Pamela Jones – thats Groklaw and friends

Pamela Jones/Groklaw won an eff award well done – if you are lost think Bilski/Scox and other stuff

While scox is dead, Microsoft and its other friends are doing the level best to screw another ms partner Novell.  However Oracle v Developers begins on java (which Richard Stallman was right on about some years ago too) …Oracle is one of those firms, like Computer Associates which is un-trendy and souless but it is at least is standards friendly (i refer to sql) unlike say Microsoft which will produce any amount of crap and call it that when it is not and even bribe some idiots into creating a standard.

However when oracle bought sun alarm bells rang even here at the zoo – yes mysql is ok, postgresql  is much better for standards.  Not a problem.  With sun and java in Oracles control is not a problem here but it could be – for when oracle start suing a port of java then i have concerns.

The other good thing is that openoffice has been forked to libreoffice.org.

Java has had too many problems of which where sun’s fault in licensing – and microsoft tried to break java as well, even debian considers the sun/oracle jdk and runtime evil by distro standards, and other bits can replace it.

Patent suites*  see Bilski [my blog] aren’t doing anybody any good, and Pam is a hero for shining a light in the dark places.

* mobile phones are worse.

psychologists and the ‘imposible’ role model

Psychologists are a weird bunch (my blog) – everything is ‘bad’ and so they go a quest to find the ideal role model for children the latest being Professor Sharon Lamb.  Naturally Cartoon characters are bad  (like tom and jerry), so are comics after all i am sure superman,spiderman and dennis the menace are unsavory in some regard , and lets not go near Spongebob Squarepants, or that one Tellytuby  for apparently being gay.

heman - Homoerotic and a Steriod abuser?

What does that leave ? Well theres been a few attempts at this non gay/non fetish/insert other ‘concern’ here and they do not turn out very well – take he man (wiki) who lets face it when the film version was acted by some steroid taking actor does that make body builders ‘okay’ and not drug addicts ?

The Christian role ‘Chucky’ models are even weirder when you get puppets singing about god and jesus theres plenty of examples on youtube to weird anybody out.

This is insane if you think about this.  Yes there will always be the one strange child with family issues who will kill (think Venables & Thompson) but then we apparently ask the saint sigmunds to design the perfect role model who will not be gay/be nice/save the world and sing songs about baby jesus.

Have adults become so stupid and forgotten that most children can learn and no they cannot climb walls, or fly?  Is Spongebob gay is a strange question that should mean some people should get there heads examined sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile as video games are bad (read first url) – best go join the army shows many the self destruct message that these theoretic brain doctors have.

Red Plenty, Francis Spufford

isbn: 9780571225231, has a great cover design, the text has a number of both real and fictional characters in order to do the soviet revolution in the 1950′s.   This fiction using a mix of  economics texts fails when the author switches characters bit it gets mired in mud and  the waiting of things as is the problem with plans going astray.

1/5 bananas.

Alphaville

imdb: tt0058898 is a french film full of style and cinematic no no’s today that make it a most definite worth a see.

Weird phrasing

isbn: 9780596526879 is a book about css 2.1 part of a publishers tag is ‘missing manual’.

I read it because my 2001 fish book just was not doing it.

Its selling point

the book that should have been in the box

err what box ? software in big boxes – does it still exist? a box by microsoft standards in 2010 is a paper cd sleeve and a couple of horrid labels that wear with time making dvd useless if you cannot read it.  IBM outsourced its paper manuals arm to somebody else in 2002.

Anyhow – book is ok – it covers 2.1 standard however it fail me with its form elements css and i went to another resource to get that.  3/5 bananas.

The raw shark texts, Steven Hall

isbn: 9781847670243 has a ambiguous start, looks a bit arty with nonsense words as shapes and does not help its cause.  But once past the ambiguousness there is an good tale and sort of justifies the shapes.

It is at times a bit Jasper Fforde ish 4/5 bananas.

Summer means it is /phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php probe time.
