04/28/2004 08:18 PMAP - Shrek the hermit ram took six years to grow his massive fleece.

sheep.

Of course
I am very shocked, that's all I can say....If you want to know why you
would have to ask the company New Line or director Peter Jackson and
his associates because I still don't really know why.".
Does anyone know any more about this sayonara to Saruman? '
Asked if
he would attend the première, he said: "No, what's the point?
What's the point of going? None at all."' I'm kind of shocked.
But not quite as much as he is from the sounds of it.

Look
familiar? This portable DVD player - the DVD Note, from First Light
Technologies - was either designed by engineers who were really
big fans of Sony's PSone, or somebody got a good deal on a bunch of
unused PSone parts. Beyond that, though, it's really not that special,
although it does play Divx and Xvid, I'm told. Get one at a ramshackle
grey market electronics hut near you.

See Spot and his electric sheep
See Spot and his electric sheep
05/05/2004 11:14 AM
Spot Draves' presentation of his electric
sheep was one of the best presentations I attended at last
February's O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference. Electric Sheep is
a screen saver that uses a distributed computing model (a la SETI@home) to create and render new "sheep."
When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes
black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the
screen-saver contacts a server and joins the parallel computation of
new sheep.
Every fifteen minutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and
distributed to all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated
fractal flame.
The sheep are amazingly beautiful, and hearing Spot speak about his
work is great. Lucky for you, if you're in NYC tonight you can
experience it yourself. Spot will be doing his presentation at the dorkbot-nyc gathering. Also there will be a
presentation on "Gameboy Hacks" at the same meeting! It's a geek's
delight! Wednesday, May 5, 7pm at Location
One in SoHo (NYC).

04/26/2004 10:10 AMIt looks like Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq - news - research) has cried wolf
too many times. Investors shrugged off the software behemoth's
conservative outlook for 2005, bidding up the stock Friday in the wake
of the firm's strong top- and bottom-line third-quarter results. After
all, many noted, Microsoft gave similarly conservative guidance a year
ago -- only to prove itself wrong with revenue growth on track to
reach an impressive 13% this year. On Friday, Microsoft shares jumped
$1.59, or 6.1%, to $27.54 with more than 255 million shares changing
hands -- about four times its average daily volume.

RSS was big in 2004, but next year is going
to be something else. It's killing me that I can't say more, but I
know of two major library vendors that will make big announcements
about RSS in 2005. It's going to be a fun year!

Wow. What a long time it has been since I last posted to
plasticbag.org. And what have I done in the meantime? I've been back
to Norfolk to see my family, experienced the wonders of Christmas,
seen Return of the King,
watched ten hours of videos with my little brother, watched the snow
come down and get washed away, struggled through lots of music
television, had my first frank conversation with my little brother
about being gay, opened and given lots of gifts, battled back to
London via bus and train, gone back to work for a few days before
late-night driving off to Cornwall for New Year with a selection of
friends and friends of friends wherein was had much late-night
drinking, (indoor) swimming, fondue-ing, walks in the wet and the
dark, eating of beef and roaming around. Since I last posted I've
travelled about eight hundred miles in total, including trips to
Penzance for shopping, Newquay for boots and Bath for Sally Lunn's. I've driven
through Indian Queens, passed by Splatt and circumnavigated Pityme. I've also read a lot of The Social Life of Information (more
on how much I want to burn that particular waste of headspace later),
thought a lot about Tivo and Social
Software, played a lot of Knights of the Old Republic and both
been bought and bought for others some of the most wonderfully
entertaining porcelain cups I've ever seen. All in
all, an eventful and entertaining couple of weeks.
Next up is trying to get my head together to start a new project at
work (interesting one this - should have really positive, interesting
and coincidentally weblog-friendly effects on BBC Radio sites), trying to
assemble my thoughts for a conference at Olympia in a couple of
month's time, trying to work out whether to propose a participant session for this year's ETCon (which I'm
still hoping I'm going to attend), while apparently also trying to
score maximum points on self-created, self-destructive and highly
non-fun-for-all-the-family games like, "How quickly and effectively
can I alienate everyone I work with?", "Be an arse!" and "How fat,
weird and bearded can one man become?". What did you guys get up
to?
