Amiga. How Commodore royally fucked up

Ah, the Commodore Amiga. Once hailed as a revolutionary leap in home computing, it has become, instead, a monument to missed opportunities, mismanagement, and the classic story of how to turn gold into dust. For those unfamiliar with the Amiga saga, it’s a sobering reminder of how a promising innovation can be utterly botched by…

I was chatting to a Ukrainian friend last night, and every few minutes or so she’d be disconnected. After a few minutes she would appear online again. “Another air raid then Maria?” Yes she said, told her to get to a shelter and to be safe. She said there were no shelters where she lived,…

Finally, it’s over!

The four year long pain of Jodie Whittaker being Doctor Who is finally over, and she went out as she came in. With a whimper. Good fucking riddance Jodie, your time as the Doctor can be summed up in one word. Miscast. A god awful actress with god awful writer and a cretinous cunt of…

Payback Joe Haines

I’ve had this in draft for a very long time, just waiting for the chance to use it, and finally I get a chance to be a vitriolic little cunt, much like Joe Haines is. A little background for this walking turd. When Freddie Mercury died due to complications of AIDS, “journalist” Joe Haines wrote…

The Queen is dead

And majority of sane people don’t give a fuck. Didn’t know her. Never met her. Don’t fucking care about someone who’s position is an accident of birth. The same mass hysteria on the scale of Diana’s… ahem ‘accident’ is on show, with the same cretins on TV, remembering how they saw Queenie whizz by in…

How not to describe a film to the wife

Every now and again, the wife asks me if I have anything we can watch. Since we have widely different tastes in films, it’s not often I have something we can watch together. However, I thought I was on to a winner with this one as it’s a film based on real events (she likes…

My work ethic after 30 minutes with Magento on a Friday afternoon

Another rant about designers

I have a love/hate relationship with designers, and I can say with absolute predictability, that it’s mostly been hate. Past experience of a designers sending a web site design done Adobe InDesign or a spec so concise it could fit on a fucking stamp, really didn’t make life easy. Of course, that’s presuming you get…

The only good Russian is…

I used to have sympathy for the Russian soldiers in Ukraine. The videos release of the POW’s show some pathetic scrawny little bastards who had no idea why they were in Ukraine and just wanted to go home. More pathetic what the phone calls to their mummies saying they wanted to go home. Oh the…

How to query an API. Or not, in this case

It’s a fairly run of the mill task for developers to access an API. Send a token, check you have permission to do so, and process the data sent back in the request once you have been authenticated. It’s quick and secure and powers the internet. No problem. Like I said, you could do it…
