Something Imaginative

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Ledgend of Zelda Movie: Not a Myth

    Yes, that’s right folks, They have made, or to be more precise, they are in the process of finishing, the Ledgend Of Zelda Movie. Live action, no less. I’m not quite sure about the Actor, but he’s obviously been chosen for his looks. The plot appears to follow that of the game, and there are…

  • Backing up your data online – For Free!

    How many of us actually backup our data? Hands up… go on? Did you put your hand up? are you lying? IF your one of those thousands of people who know the importance of backup, but find that lazyness actually gets in the way, or that cost seems insane, then here are a few pointers…

  • Preparing an Emergency Water Supply

    I would like to start this post by saying I’m not an alarmist; I’m a roleplayer. That means, during many of the random fantasy scenarios that I end up playing in, Water is one of those big unknowns. We all know how to boil water to make it clean for use (not that I think…

  • WiiMote Genius: Someone should pay Johnny Chung Lee

    A demonstration of head-tacking using the WiiMote was show on YouTube. It’s frankly amazing. Vr 3D in a way that isn’t going to mess with your head, and doesn’t mean waring some stupid googles to do it. You’d have thought that it was built and designed by some boff from Nintendo in his spare time,…

  • Search the bible, and get it explained

    A quick note about this piece of software that Rosslyn found for me. It’s a piece of software that allows you to search the bible (differing versions), and get translations, and original meanings of words. It appears to be designed for Vicars, or I suppose as it’s american software, Ministers. At first glance it appears…

  • Improving Your Blog, a begining investigation

    As was said a while back, I Thoguth I’d see if I can find a way of getting this blog out there. There appears to be a few things that I should really consider first. Before I can start to make money from this site, which, lets face it, is the ultimate aim of spending…

  • Online Kaleidascope.

    That wonderful application, Stumble, has once again stolen an hour of my time. . . I’m fairly sure that I said I wouldn’t do that again. Though in my defense, I was mostly watching Torchwood. Plus this little addition means that I’ve managed to put something nice and new on the blog, that is, something…

  • Bishop Carl Cooper and Revd. Mandy Williams Potter to take Leave of Absence

    article in need of tidying (The Times Online Article here:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article3537404.ece) Questions about the inapropriate relationship that the Bishop Carl may or may not have had with his Communications Officer have hit the mainstream press.

  • Learing WordPress Tips

    Following my last post, I thought I’d actually take some of my own advice. It may not look it, but there’s been about 2 hours of work gone into this blog. Where you might ask. As indeed you may. I’ve wandered through the wordpress options and found the “widgets”. These are little gadgets that allow…

  • Passing time on the Internet

    Did you ever actually just stop and think about what your doing? I mean really. All that time reading other people’s blogs, all that time reading other people’s webcomics. It’s wonderful that they are there. It’s amazing the talent that some people have. I find it it a bit depressing really. Especially when I glance…

  • Lamenting the aging ETerm

    I’ve installed E17. Of course I have. I’m in search of a pretty desktop. Why? because I *like* eye-candy. I see no reason in running a powerful PC, and then putting a decent operating sytem on it, only to have it run IDLE most of the time. If you’ve got the power FLAUNT it. Beef…

  • The Bible Translation into Welsh (and other Languages)

    http://www.llgc.org.uk/big/Chapter1.htm I found this while trying to find a welsh translation of the Bible. For the upcoming funeral of Dr. Joseph Brown of Llangollen, I have the honour of giving a reading from Isiah 25, verses 6-9. I am to give this reading in both Welsh, and English. During my search I came across this…

  • Litestep Theme, 1.2

    For those of you that read this thing often… okay, for those of you that have found this by googling… I’ve gone and updated my theme. Being as I currently don’t have the time to produce a nice little thumbnail of it, I’ll link the full thing here, as well as the theme.rc for those…

  • Writting to a logfile and to the Screen in Linux

    While writing a complicated script, I found that I was in need of a way of writing to both Standard Out, and to the Syslog. Try as I might, I couldn’t find a way to do this, or at least, I couldn’t think of a way to do this that didn’t duplicate code, and didn’t…

  • Calculate your tax payments in the uk

    http://www.listentotaxman.com/index.php I found this link while trying to work out how much better off I will be when I heard of the tax changes in the Budget (I pay SOOO much attention that I didn’t even know that there had been changes. The upshot is that it doesn’t affect me this year, however this tool…
