When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was
call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it
up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had
deer horns.

I saw this when it was first published a few months ago, and I still think
it's a joke :) Notice the 4500 comments, it got 300 of those in the first
few hours - almost overloaded their server :-D

well, given that it contains a link to www.spanking.com (which I actually,
stupidly, clicked on), and it has George W. Bush under "integrity"....

Yes, Really, that's what they all say.......

hell, i'll probably go back there when there aren't so many peole around.
i freely admit that.

RHUL Squid Proxy Server Logs, Sysadmin, Beer....

On a sidenote, anyone got a copy of Peter Jackson's Braindead on quaint
magnetic tape or DVD?

One day there will be a sysadmin above corruption and bribary. But until
then mine at work will still be doing bulk proxy server tests by downloading
star wars trailers....
Blackstar have the VHS for less than 6 quid.....

Speaking of video I need to wax lyrical about the videoisation process the
BBC are using on their old B&W video stock: old B&W video runs at 25 frames
a second where as film runs at 50. When old DW got transfered down onto
video it lost 1 in 2 frames. The new process works out the missing frames
and produces some simply stunning results. For an example see the Planet
of Giants video or one one of the Tomb of the Cybermen DVD Easter Eggs (Main
menu, up, right, right, left, play)

I own a quaint magnetic tape of it....

Charlotte

... and I don't think it's out on DVD.

It's known as DeadAlive in Region 1.

I knew it had a different US title that was something like that, but NOT
that it was out on DVD. (shows how much attention I haven been paying to R1
lately...)

Incidentally just noticed that Bad Taste is out on R1 DVD in 'limited
edition' form - whilst i'd quite like to see the extras (making of), there
don't appear to be 'that' many of them to justify buying it for 30 USD, well
at least it dosn't say "interactive menus"....

I seem to remember that charlotte had it on quaint magnetic tape. I
remember we went and watched it at her place in my first year (god that's a
long time ago *gets all nostalgic*)

Adam

Adam:
It was 2 years ago, no time at all. Wait till you get to our age .......

Asan:
The only R2 listings for this title I can find are the XFiles episode
Amazon.com have it for $21.49

Speaking of Shiny discs there's a 2nd Starship Troopers Cartoon disc on Monday Asan....

Yes, I know, I don't think it's out on Region2, but the Region 1 certainly
is.

I've not got round to watching the first Pluto Campaign ones yet, really
need to be a student again :)

Charlotte: May I borrow your roll of tape version sometime please in
exchange for a drink or something?

cheers
Asan

Certainly!

mmmmm beer.......

Charlotte
*who thinks that lending people videos and DVDs in exchange for drinks could
be a profitable business*

That's where I've been going wrong all these years then ..... I should charge! Right,
it's a pound per episode of Buffy or Angel from now on ;-)
