Sharing wisdom

by Suw on March 30, 2004

Since I started reading blogs, I have learnt a lot. I've had my horizons widened in ways I wouldn't have thought possible, and usually without even realising it. Blogs are like a hive mind – all the little bits of information synergistically coming together like bees in a virtual meta-hive-brain. And it's in this spirit of sharing wisdom and information that I'd like to share with you this small nugget of gold, learnt last night.
After a considerable period of cooking on electric, when you move over to gas it is wise to remember to use the little inbuilt sparker to light the gas as soon as you turn it on. Waiting for it to light by itself and then belatedly pushing the sparker button will result in a great big whumph of flame as the pooled gas ignites, taking the majority of the hair from the back of your hand with it, and your eyebrows if you're not lucky.
Hmmm what are you cooking? Is that the delicious smell of singed human hair hanging in the air?

Ok, my contribution to AKMA's project to convert Lawrence Lessig's new book, Free Culture into an audio form is now done and dusted, and here it is for your delectation – Chapter 8: Transformers.
Please don't link to this file directly because it'll kill my hosting. I'll put up a link to the various mirrors for this project that are springing up asap.
UPDATE: Chapter 8, mirrored kindly by AJ Wright and Chris Hodge at SunSite, where you can also download the other chapters that are available.

The project is also being mirrored by Eric Rice, now including my chapter.

On the other hand

by Suw on March 28, 2004

Being awake at this ludicrous hour has meant that I bumped into AKMA, and now I'm officially taking part in the transformation of Lawrence Lessig's new book, Free Culture from the written to the spoken word. I'll be reading Chapter 8. I'll post the link when it's up.

What a night to get insomnia

by Suw on March 28, 2004

Of all the nights to find myself unable to sleep at all, tonight really is the worst, what with the hour and all. It's 2.30am, but I don't feel remotely tired.
And to make things worse, I don't even have any chocolate.

IRC comes and goes, but projects accumulate

March 27, 2004

Actually, IRC seems to be more coming than going, but that's a whole nother post. Thought it was about time I just updated you as to the various and assorted projects I have going on. I don't think they each deserve a post to themselves, so they get to share. Nothing Travels Faster Than Bad […]

Several years late, but never mind

March 27, 2004

Saw Grosse Pointe Blank for the first time this evening. Out originally in '97, I think I ignored it partly because I was working for the Maker at the time and thus skint, but mainly because the title didn't tell me anything at all. I remember seeing the posters, but because I was in the […]

It's all gone joiito

March 27, 2004

From #joiito: [15:18] nostromo: I always have the andalusian meaning of joiito, in mind [15:19] nostromo: joder means to fuck [15:19] nostromo: jodido means fucked (usually in the fucked up sense) [15:19] nostromo: jodidito is diminutive of this [15:19] nostromo: and then, in andalusia they “eat” those “d” [15:19] nostromo: joiito –> a bit fucked […]
