The outpourings of a deranged mind

So….er….

…yeah…

Been away… kind of… (well, I’ve not been anywhere, I’ve just not been frolicing round the blogs as Blue so eloquently put it :D ). Anyway, I’m back… sort of… (I know someone out there hates ellipsis, just can’t remember if they’re a reader of my blog or not, if you are, sorry :D ). Still grumpy, still tired, but I’m less likely to rip your arm off and beat you to death with the bloody stump for minor infractions like existing. Who knows, come next Monday I might even be pleasant to know and civil when spoken to :D

Got a crap load of stuff to blog about (when I get the time). There is the devastation that was wrought round Cromer last weekend (much photo evidence), Piccies from Cromer Zoo (and probably en explination  about that cos I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it properly, and even if I have I’m going to plug it again), sharp shiny shit, cutting myself on sharp shiny shit, blunt shiny shit, shiny shiny shit (although to be fair, I did blog a bit about the iPhone, but I could rave about it some more :D ) and I may even share some very funny youtube videos with you (although knowing you lot you saw them months ago and I’m just catching up). There’s also the Urban Geek Pack, it’s retirement, the Urban Warrior coat, my superhero concept and… nope, think that’s it. Oh, yeah, and I’ve finished all the sweeties except for the lollipops and the bonbons at work.

Anyway, I shall leave you with the following thought:

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own orbital weapons platform? Nothing too fancy, just a space based laser canon that you could position to hit anywhere in the world to within, oooh, I dunno, say 10cm? Give it a blast radius of about 5 meters and we should be sorted. Nice iPhone based user interface and we’re away. Someone annoys you, bring up a specially customised version of Google Earth on your phone with a live high res feed from your orbital array, find the numpty you with to rain fiery death upon, lock the target and *zap* Instantly vapourised. Didn’t even know what hit them. You could take out idiots in cars, morons on the road, people in houses playing their music too loud, the possibilities are endless. Seriously, orbital weapons platforms, it the way forward.

Toodles :D

    You’d need four to get proper global coverage. I’d also want a random fire setting. Let’s face it though you’d leave it running 10 meters in front of you for most of the day. Well I would..at least for the walk to work and lunchtime shopping if I’m forced to go.

    Then there’s always the danger that it might get into government hands or take out a plane full of people. I think I’d rather have the power to shoot fireballs from my eyes to incinerate annoyances. It’s more personal somehow.

    They could do deals - buy 3, get the 4th free. Planes full of people shouldn’t have been in the way, plus if I had my way I’d know were everyone was… worshiping at my feat for fear of Death From Above® :)

    Fireballs from eyes is good too but lacks global coverage.

    i’d like to target he person who gave you smiley graphics surrounded with a grey border.

    looks seriously silly.

    or maybe the theme and/or css provider if it’s not part of the image itself.

    Iuuno, and one day I might care enough to change it :)

    Now, whats your address again? *targets the orbital weapons platform…*

    OK - so I care enough to change it. Done :P

    Worshipping at your feat would take a feat in itself.

  8. Dom November 16th, 2007 1:40 pm

    Indeed it would :D Erm… worshipping at my feet :S

    Had I have had the ORP yesterday it would have been in meltdown. Is anyone aware of HOW STRESSFUL arranging the works annual Christmas lunch is - if you promise me a price on the 5th November I expect the price on the 5th November and NOT on the 16th November when I have arranged to print out the invitations and arranged for nice people to come in and stuff them into envelopes for me. :( :( :( Note how pissed off I am

    So if I give you the coordinates could you oblige perhaps? Sorry but I don’t worship feat (or feet for that matter).

    I have had tales of organising Christmas parties recanted to me in the past be various people. I choose not to do it which holds me in good stead :) Of course, these days its ‘festive parties’ or other such PC rubbish.

    Looks like there is a large call for spaced based weaponry. Perhaps I should invest in getting some made and then rent it out - £100 per shot, I could rake in the cash :D
