Enter key doorbell

An Enter key doorbell for all the geeky households.

Another Elephant Joke.

Gareth — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0000

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenage son.As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn’t the same elephant.

A new web browser - from Google

Gareth — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:05:27 +0000

Google have released a web browser, Google Chrome it uses the Webkit rendering engine (same as Safari) so there shouldn’t be much more work for web developers compatibility wise, which is good.
Although personally I’m not sure about this browser, it doesn’t have anything really ‘special’ and is missing some things like page zooming, it might be good to integrate it with Google’s other services as well.

It is in beta at the moment so lets hope it can get better, more info at the Googleblog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html

So the time has come for Grand Theft Auto IV to be released into the world and I will have my Special Edition soon enough, and hopefully I will be enjoying it (seeing as I haven’t played it yet).

I will be writing an ongoing review as I play over the coming weeks.
