More on twitter

   Posted by: Kertap   in Links and stuff

I installed a wordpress plugin that will autopost tweets once a day to the blog. I haven’t seen it work yet but hopefully it does. That should lesson the feeling that I’m shouting at an empty room.

UPDATE: It Worked!!!

I’ve been using Twitter recently to follow a couple of the internet people who’s blogs I read and it’s pretty good. I’ve been posting stuff to it too. You can follow along at http://twitter.com/kertap. It would be nice if you did as then it wouldn’t feel like I’m shouting at the wind.

This is a link to an interview with Alan Moore.This is a link to an interview with Alan Moore.

It turns out that League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is going to come out after all. Moore has been having trouble with DC recently and so LOEG 3 is going to be published by Top Shelf in 2007.

Awesomeness.

I’m so happy

   Posted by: Kertap   in Links and stuff

I absolutely loved Equilibrium. Sure some of it didn’t make sense to the Graphic Designer but movies always take liberties with stuff like that. Just look at Swordfish. Good hackers would never try and code something while drinking a whole bottle of wine. Never. I’m speaking from experience.

Anyway, despite it’s problems Equilibrium was a great movie that featured a great idea called the Gun Kata. A practitioner of the gun kata would be able to fire at an enemy while at the same avoiding fire himself by adopting the various stances.

And it’s coming back. Ultraviolet is by the same writer and director of Equilibrium and stars Milla Jovovich as the main character. This time around Gun Kata has been modified so that it has a softer style. This was done by bringing in a Wushu practitioner for fight choreography as opposed to a Karateka as in Equilibrium.

Another movie I’m looking forward to is V for Vendetta. The trailer for it looks amazing. And Nightwatch hasn’t come out over here yet so I get to see that in the Cinema too.

WooHoo.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

This is one for every one who plays guitar, i.e. Mike, Mick, Peter and Dad.

I’ve heard one song on a ukelele before but this is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

In the satellite view there is a brown field. Look in the top left corner of it. You may need to zoom in.

Best of Bootie 2005 CD

Best of Bootie 2005 CD

Here’s one for Mick Higgins. He probably knows this already but any way. It turns out that when coldplay put together X+Y they were heavely influenced by kraftwerk.

he YELLOW singer confesses he is hooked on the legend’s unique melodies – and new track TALK even includes a Kraftwerk sample.

Some one had the idea of mixing the songs and that is what you get with track 10 Computer Talk on the CD that I’ve linked to above. This is more free music by the way.

A concert download

   Posted by: Kertap   in Links and stuff

The Concert

The above link is to site that has a concert for download. And who is the particular performer, why none other than Colin Meloy the frontman for the decemberists.

I haven’t listened to it yet and I can’t wait too. But first I have to listen to the other concert that is there if you follow that link. In this case it’s a girl name Laura Veirs. It’s just her, a guitar and a loop box which lets her record stuff while she’s playing and sing or play over it. It’s cool.

I heard about these by listening to a podcast from NPR called All Songs Considered. Check it out if you can. You can get it if you have ITunes. You can subscribe to it for free in the ITunes Music Store.

Update: This concert is amazing. Theres a song in it called The Shankhill Butchers it starts on 27:30. It’s fantastic.
