NOT An April Fool's

Development News... Yesterday's development "push" has spawned some significant progress on MoN-202 "Mane-of-Night And The Watcher From Beyond" (although it still needs to be typed up, admittedly). Whilst the story won't be completed to coincide with the final posting for MoN-109, which goes live tomorrow, it should come pretty close, if development continues at the same pace.

Words of Wisdom... If you ever get the chance, shoot a hacker in the face. If it wasn't for those bastards, you wouldn't have to pay for anti-virus software...

And finally... Interesting, isn't it, that when a Space Shuttle has problems, it's headline news, but when nothing goes wrong, complete media silence. Give these astronauts some damn respect!

G20 Protesters - Oh PLEASE...

Twitter is overloaded right now, because of those sorry hippy fuckers in London. It comes as absolutely no surprise that the windows of the main branch of The Royal Bank of Scotland have been smashed, because these wasters know the only power they have is to get headlines and top news stories by acting in precisely the way we all expected them to act.

What are you going to DO to fix the world? When the smoke goes down, and the broken glass is swept away, just what will you do? Creep away to get stoned, and wait for the next opportunity to smear blood on yourselves in front of the TV cameras, and cry "Police brutality!" You want "anarchy"? You've already got it, down there on the streets of London. Not as "kewl" as you expected, is it - not a shining Utopia where a man asks another man "be my friend"? And if we were to have the dreamy agricultural, barter-driven, dope-fuelled paradise you think is the ideal solution to all the world's problems, where would you recharge your iPod?

Protest, by all means. Contrary to what the anarchists tell you, it is your right - but don't be surprised if the police can't put up with all that spitting, all the verbal abuse, all the piss and whatever thrown over them. They are, after all, human beings too, and they had to give up their days off to be there - talk about adding insult to injury.

Protest - don't destroy. Then go home and see what positive action you can take to make the world a better place. I'm sure some of the protesters already do that, but I'd not be surprised that the majority just crack open a brew and sit back to wait for the next JSA payment to roll in.

Steppin' down to Eden. Yay, brother...

Just don't eat the fruit. It's lethal.

More later, possibly.

...Meanwhile, The Non-April Fools Project Report

In Today's Season Finale... Who will rule Wyridaen? Can Mane-of-Night and a host of unexpected allies decide the victor? And will any of the survive? It's the moment of truth; the final chapter of "Mane-of-Night And The Darkening Storm"...

Release Notes... The cliffhanger had been on my mind for a loooong time. Everything has its time, I suppose.

Development News... None to report today, I'm afraid. Still need to type up the stuff from yesterday, but I was otherwise engaged, bringing the old PC back up to something approaching usable status. As that was "cooking", I tried to get the laptop back online, only to find the wireless problem is most likely more widespread than just an adapter dying. Bugger.

And finally... Not seen any "April Fools" news stories today. Possibly there was more than enough comedy watching the G20 protestors, or hearing Gordon Brown trying to sound like he's a real politician in front of Barrack Obama...
