Excerpts from a Dog’s Diary

Excerpts from a Cat’s Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow –but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.

The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.

For now . . .

I’ve always suspected that those stab you in the back suck up to the boss types have an edge from other people and now the maths to prove it :-).

Bible Fight Game May 19, 2007

If you like a bit of old school fighter game action, check out this gem from the Adult Swim website.  It’s Streetfighter with biblical characters!!  As expected each character has special moves which are themed around their particular stories in the novel.  It’s quite amusing.

Cool Backdrops May 12, 2007

I’ve had the same backdrops on my MacBook Pro since I bought it and was getting a little bored so decided to look for some alternatives.  I came across this site which has some excellent backdrops amongst other things.  Not only are the images themselves really good but the interface on the site solves several issues I’ve had with other sites in that it allows you to sort by the resolution that you are actually using on your machine.  I can highly recommend sorting by resolution and then by the highest rating.

Map of Online Communities

The folks over at xkcd have produced this great map of online communities - apparently the size of the “countries” is based on the estimated numbers of registered users for each of the services. I especially like the Bay of Trolls around the Digg archipelago.
