You heard, as of effective now there is a freeze on the frontend layout of the micro.B plugin I have spent the last few days writing.

More to come about the actual plugin itself, but I just want to get everything sorted first.

Thinking 5th of June for release – so stay tuned.

Yesterday, while walking through the car park of my local retail park, a lamp post shouted out to me to make sure I lock my car. It sparked a some what revelationary thought, jobs and activities that used to be undertaken by humans (or not at all) are now being performed in a way that benefits us. The interesting thing is here, that the response from each human is roughly the same. At what point do we become interchangable with robots? I know that sounds ridiculous, but think about it – RepRap can now replicate itself, we have AI that can change it’s own coding for the purpose of becoming more efficient, or running society?

The end of this situation is likely to have been predicted in the good old film war games from back in the day. The machines will realise the only way to win ‘life’ is not to ‘play’.

Hugely exaggerated sci-fi maybe, but ultimately not as impossible as it may be first assumed.

5 attempted spammings in one morning! Of course nothing got through, but that’s beside the point – people tried to!

Actually, let me revise that statement – computers tried to spam me. Botnet? The worrying thing is here, that if I had approve comments off, the site would be covered in utter trash absolutely nobody is ever going to be interested in.

I mean… there must be easier ways to get traffic right?

Oh well… no real biggy but i’d like to be able to actually block the sites from which they originate. But thats wordpress isn’t it.

Back later,

Recently I’ve had a go at the good old MUD.

10 hours into play i’m an orc, that is ‘brain dead’ and truly ‘hideous’. Great.

But in all seriousness it’s been interesting – I’m enjoying it. ‘How so? I’s text!’ I hear you say, but think about this – it actually works better than a modern MMO, just as a book is better than a slightly bad quality 3D animation.

I highly recommend to anyone that is interested to check out http://www.icesus.org (my favourite MUD – no product placement here ).

More soon, I promise.
