I couple of weeks ago I did some coding for Rob Manuel of b3ta fame, specifically the code to parse a wiki page and present the resulting data in a format usuable to a Flash application.
Rob has used this to load in the levels to his "Psycho Fireman" game, a variation (blatant rip-off) of Sokoban.
As spotted on b3ta, the Debut Album Game.
Here is the gist of it... "A random wikipedia article for your band name, a random quote for your title and a randomflickr pic for the album cover."
Well, here is mine:
Now all I need is some musical talent, some friends, and a drum machine.
"I have in my hand a piece of paper," famous words, once spoken by Arthur Neville Chamberlain as he got off an aeroplane and announced that there would be "peace in our time".
To quote James Tiberius Kirk, "those words were spoken by me" (apart from the peace/time bit), last time someone telephoned me while I was on the khazi.
But enough of me re-iterating quotes to try and look intelligent, when all can plainly see the joke is based on a 1990 era Viz cartoon, let us get on with this pointless log entry (oh behave).
Holy shuddering crap, whats this? The Blews has finally finished the often talked about book!
Yes the amazing "How many Goths does it take to change a lightbulb?", 40 pages of rib-tickling gothy mirth, is available now from lulu.com.
Just click on the cover image below, and part with your money. Its only £3.99 (plus P+P), and the 76p I make from each copy is all that stands between me and an empty glass. Buy 3 copies and I can afford a full pint!

Inadvisable lighter trick
"Having
read in your worthy missive that disposing of batteries by fire is not
very impressive," writes Tony Blews, "We decided (instead) to cast our
communal lighter unto the flames. And film it."
Yup, that
looks more impressive. But don't blame us, Tony. You were clearly
drunk and reckless.
