Can't quite bring yourself to sling out that old dot matrix printer? Well now you don't have to! just turn it into a musical instument. With audio clips, suprisingly good ones.

Ever thought, "hmm, I'd really like to play a zombie in film from the director of SPACED, that's also stars most of the cast of SPACED"?

Well, if you have click here for details on how you can do just that.

Someone in the office here has ordered five, and his house mate ten. If they ever arrive (which is doubt) I'll let you know when they appear on eBay.

I don't want to think about what you might do with that pen!

It's gone :(
also there's no way they'd honor it. (no contract till payment taken, no payment taken till it's despached)

Not stoping me whinning, eight year old style, to my boss for one "Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq? Can I have an iPaq?...."

How about Texpression? (to coin a phrase)

I was suggesting Double Take as the programme name but I was also taking the piss.

Buy the guardian today, just for the letters section. There's a brilliant letter about F.W.Gump and his general crappy understanding of the English language*. Specificaly a comment about "showed thier cards" and it being a "Texas expression". Unfortunately it's not online, but I think it's worth 55p, just today**.


*Yes I know I don't have a hefty grip on it myself, but I'm not a leader of a super power, I don't have teams of people writing my speeches (if i did though I'd be able to read the damn things from an auto-cue properly), and, even though I've never been to texas let alone being born and raised there, I know it's "TEXAN expression" not "Texas expression"

**or if you can sneak into a newsagents, it's a couple of pages in, in G2, with a pic of the prez playing cards at the bottom.

Dan: are you suggesting Double Take as the name of the program?


right, I'll stop ranting about Bush now.

for the time being at least.

Double Take?

When you do get time to look at whitehouse.org, check out the patriotic initiatives.

Speaking of Forest W. Gump, did anyone see insert program name here when I remember it that had clips of bush giving a speech and thanking various people?

Bush "I'd also like to thank John Doe, the head of my secret service..... hehehe ...*grin* .... I really like that guy ...hehehehehe ....if you know what I mean.... *bigger-grin*. hehehehehehe"

First off, I don't care if you are the aledged most powerful man in the world, you should not be thanking people in public for being there when you want someone bumped off or some dirt dishing on a rival, especialy when alot of the stuff the secret service do is against the constution of america and damn well illigal.
Secondly, you'd think his handlers would have taught him not to laugh like Bevis and Butthead by now, it just makes the whole thing scarier.

BBC Micro games ahoy!!

Hello Dave, not heard from you for a while!
Hmm, Devine Machine looks interesting, I'll listen to the MP3s later.
And the Whitehouse piece is funny but I don't have time to read it all.

Hello!!!

I have been quiet because I have a stressful life (and Tenchu)... but!
Fear not. Yes The Krugmeister and I are going to see Placebo in a couple of weeks,
Oh joy, I can't believe we have to sit down and be all muso about it.
Still, could be worse...

Anyway, found this on the web,
it's quite cool and I'm sure you chaps can do something with it....

Also have a program called the Devine Machine no. 5,
which I really think you guys will want... Or should want...

And lots of other updated stuff.... like all-new Reaktor etc...

the newsroom, thought I'd be topical...

mmmm Phillipa, but didn't she leave when she was droping kids left right and center? (OK, mostly center).

George still freaks me though, my Phillipa inclusion plan would be:
1. win $1mil in cross USA robot race
2. go on tomorrows world to show my funky cross USA robot race robot
3. wow Ms Forester with my charm and pinache*


*charm and pinache to be bought with $1mil prize winnings

You're forgetting to take Phillipa into account.

Stuff remote control wars (sorry- I mean robot wars) I want to win this. L.A. to Vegas, 'without external communication or human control' in less than 10 hours. (accross the desert)

'cause, lets face it a cool $1 mil beats a pat on the back from Craig Charles, and I wouldn't have to meet scary mangirl "George".
