I happen to have the fortunate distinction to count amongst my friends a number of, for want of a better word, hippies.  They're great, kind, warm and lovely people on the whole and I love them all.  But there is a problem.  An attitude that exists among certain members of our society, and one that has received mainstream attention of late.  I speak of course of the Iluminati, freemasons, international capitalists or just good old fashioned Big Brother.

At some point in the past, presumably when I was not looking, people actually started to believe these things existed.  The belief that the same bumbling, brainless organisations that cannot perform the simplest of tasks without messing it up in some glorious way, could also be so intelligent and organised as to entrance the population of the world into ignoring their "obvious" control over us all.  But as ridiculous as this theory is, that's not really what I wanted to talk about.

When did the happy, open and caring people I know become so bloody miserable?  And why are so many people latching onto this dour frame of mind?  I can count myself as a fortunate person, I've never had anything truly tragic happen in my life and I've been lucky on many occasions.  But even so, all the things that are wrong in the world do not escape me.  And there are a lot of things wrong.  But there are also a lot of things going right!

Whether you agree with climate change or not, the world seems intent on pursuing a greener future on clean energy, this is good.

Crime is, in the overwhelming majority, a decreasing problem, this is also good.

War, while still a major issue is most certainly far far less of a problem than it has been in the rest of civilised human history, this is good too.

The internet and computers in general have changed society and the world as a whole, this is an awesome thing.

So while you're sat at home on your comfy chair, wasting your time reading this drivel, just remember how truly amazingly terrible your life could be, and cheer the fuck up.

I have been looking forward to portal 2 since about 15 minutes into the first game, but this has really got me excited now.

How could I not comment on this?  Seriously, sometimes I like memes, some I love.  But this is the king/emperor of all memes, and it was made for a marketing campaign! The humor is very British(Sorry America, you are funny also), and the delivery is perfect.

Something I had to work on recently, which I wont go into, but the project had to grab HREF properties from A tags inside a mass of HTML, but with a 100% success rate no matter how poorly structured the HTML was.  I think this pretty much covers it, except for one small case..  If you were to not use quotes on your href, and you made up your own properties for the A tag, AND you had actual spaces in the href, it may end up missing the end of the URL off.  Otherwise, bullet-proof.

 "href+ ?=+ ?(?:(?:(?:""|')(.+?)(?:""|'))|(.+?)(?: class ?=| onclick ?=| id ?=| accesskey ?=| dir ?=| ltr ?=| lang ?=| style ?=| tabindex ?=| title ?=| onblur ?=| ondblclick ?=| onfocus ?=| onmousedown ?=| onmousemove ?=| onmouseout ?=| onmouseover ?=| onmouseup ?=| onkeydown ?=| onkeypress ?=| onkeyup ?=|>))"

Ye so I made this quite a while ago, but as I decided to shutdown the corp and alliance, I never really got a chance to use it.  Anyone else with a sci-fi style clan/corp who is called Coalition Of Nations and would like to use it?  No, I thought not.

I know, I've amazed even myself.  5 years I've been working on the new enkidu.cx site and so far all I have to show for it is 10 different half finished websites, all absolute rubbish.  I've no idea why anyone would even be reading this, but I'm mostly going to use this site for storing random crap I make or find amusing.  The odd bit of programming might show up, some game stuff and all sorts of random game related nerdery(I'm making that a word, as of now).
