Halloween in Pakistan

BuzzMoo — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:04:12 +0000

It’s amazing what gets you hits these days. Take Better Homes and Garden’s (US) tutorial on how to make a Halloween wreath. It’s a full page article that can be summed up in a single sentence. To make a pumpkin wreath, glue pumpkins to a wreath! Good advice. But not enough for poor She256:

“I REALLY LIKE IT,BUT MY BADLUCK IS THAT IN MY CITY I COULDNOT FIND PUMPKINS,I LIVE IN KARACHI,PAKISTAN.SO I SAVE YOUR PIC IN MY FILE.”

Ahhh the Internet…

here comes eGames – 14th-16th November – Melbourne

BuzzMoo — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:16:58 +0000

The eGames Expo will be in its third year when it kicks off this friday at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. Despite being fairly close to the whole process, this year will be the first year I’ve been able to attend (and even then, it was touch and go!).

eGames is packing some interesting things this year. Yahtzee Croshaw, the fast talking pom behind Zero Punctuation will be hosting a gaming trivia session, which promises to be hilarious. I’m keen to see Call of Duty World At War taken through its multiplayer paces (this is taking place at the Alienware PC Zone) and what comes out of the Retro Game Challenge. When Elroy called and said there was going to be a significant N-Gage presence, I had to think a bit. Nokia’s N-Gage? That was dead and buried years ago – but they’re trying to bring it back, apparently. I’m curious as to what their second attempt is going to look like.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, really. So starting from tomorrow I’ll begin a series of regular eGames related posts, in theory video content will be included, as I jet to Melbourne to begin what’s going to be a long couple of days. We’ll be based out of the Elroy Online Booth, where you’ll be able to check out the latest Powers Cosmic and Remote Viewing caper, and unwashed computer geeks that haven’t had enough sleep. Some extra space has been donated to the buzzmoo.com element so that I can put on some OLPC XO demonstrations.

If you live in Melbourne, consider coming along!

bio knowledge node

If you head over tobio.knowledgenode.netyou’ll see the second of three pages that form what I suppose you could call a tripartite news feed. The three, solar, bio and wind, ultimately coalescing at www.knowledgenode.com to produce an overall picture of the state of renewable energies. With user input determining the more important articles, the information here is refined and collected, the process somewhat akin to skimming cream, I assume.

solar.knowledgenode.net has been running for some time now and is working nicely. For a time there were issues of display compatibility and Internet Explorer.Elroysorted it, in fact he made the whole thing. I just plug in the keywords. The third piece of the puzzle, wind.knowledgenode.net, is only just around the corner.
