the humans are dead
Littleloud are sending Paul and me to Flashforward in Boston, where we’ve been nominated for the Game award! Yey! Fingers crossed.
Last time we were nominated for an award we won it!
I’ll post a few updates on here while i’m over there, and also i’ll update Twitter
Wonder what good things there are to do in Boston?
UPDATE: The iPod has been returned! See below..
I found an iPod lying on the street on the way to work this morning.
Personally, if I lost my iPod i’d be gutted, so i’ll do what I can to find the rightful owner and return it to them!
If this fails, i’ll either take it to the Police, or ask Apple if they can help.
In all honesty, if I hand it in to the police, I wouldn’t be suprised if it was “accidentally” lost..
So far i’ve posted to a couple of local mailing lists. I’ve checked out lostipods.com but no luck so far.
The most interesting thing is that the iPod has photos on it - what with Brighton having such a close-knit community, i’m sure that if I post a photo from this iPod, someone is going to recognise them, and might be able to help me find who the iPod belongs to!
I’ll print out some sheets of A4 and stick them up near where I found it.
If you recognise the people in the photo, or can give me some info on this, then email me at: foundipodinbrighton{at}googlemail{dot}com
Now just in case you’re thinking of blagging this and claiming it as your own, don’t even think about it! This iPod is peronalised in so many ways, i’ll be asking anyone who says it’s theirs a lot of questions to help identify it as their own! 
Ok, here’s the photos:
Recognise them? Get in touch!
[edited to remove one photo as some people thought it was a bit too personal - fair play]
UPDATE: 24 hours later, it’s been returned!
It seems that a post i sent to BNM was seen by a certain Carl Hodler, who happened to see that someone on Facebook had set their status to “…is pining for her lost ipod..” - he then contacted her, she contacted me, and the rest is history!
I met up with Lucy this morning, returned the iPod, and now i’m in the possession of a rather nice bottle of 2003 Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon - thanks Lucy! Oh, and most importantly, good karma!
Edit: Actually Al read it from my post on FlashBrighton, who then sent it round Kerb
Linden Labs are setting up offices in Brighton, and I see Second Life mentioned almost every day by someone, so I thought I might as well see what all the fuss is about.
I did try to give it a go a long time ago, but was put off when I had to put my card number in, so I bailed. However, they’ve cleverly decided to remove that part of the process, so I signed up, downloaded the client, and logged in..
I’ve played a lot of 3D games over the years, but I realise this isn’t a game, so although comparisons are inevitable, they’re not really that valid. Yes the graphics are of Quake 2 standard. Yes there’s lag. No, the whole thing doesn’t feel that refined. But I kinda like it.
I haven’t signed up yet.. but it’s not that expensive, and it might be interesting to give it a go for a while. I really enjoyed building things in second life (lets not ask what i built), and things can be scripted. I had a quick look at the language, and it doesnt seem that bad.
There’s such huge potential in Second Life and it’s inevitable clones, that it would be madness to ignore or dismiss it. I’ll be logging in again soon, so let me know if you’re already there, or thinking of joining!

Fritz left Littleloud to go to Taiwan and surf.
That’s very, very cool.
Well, that’s what Aral says. Personally, I disagree!
He asks:
My reply is here. and while I was writing my reply, I saw this on Aral’s site. How web 2.0…

A while back in January my good friend Daniel sent me a Joost invite. At the time, I was impressed with the technology, but felt the content was so lacking, it just wasn’t worth pursuing.
This morning I thought i’d download the new beta and see if it’s any better. I’m pleased to say that it’s certainly getting better, slowly: There’s more channels now, including an Aardman Animation channel, An XL Recordings channel (Old school Prodigy music videos, nice!), a Ministry of Sound channel (good if you want to watch scantily clad ladies gyrating to club music), clips of Fifth Gear, and a few other things that might interest me if i’m bored.
Joost is definitely worth watching though: They’ve just secured $45,000,000 in funding, and they’re signing a lot of deals with some very influential companies.
If you want to experience Joost for yourself, let me know and i’ll send you an invite.
This is mine:

At last, Dell is going to ship Ubuntu on certain machines! This is great news for consumers (who will pay less - no OS license), it’s good news for the Ubuntu community, and it’s bad news for Microsoft, who can’t be too happy with Dell’s decision to start shipping XP again, as no-one wants Vista 
I first installed Ubuntu about a year ago, while I was testing a MythTV setup, and i’ve pretty much been a convert ever since. However, as most of my work involves Flash, it’s tricky to move away from Windows completely - I can’t afford the downtime that might be caused by using an OS that doesn’t run Flash natively.
Hopefully i’ll find a solution to this problem as Ubuntu really is a fantastic OS, and i’d like to use it exclusively.
