Twitter game - just for fun!

On twitter it's not unusual to pick up the odd random nice follower, but every now and then you'll tweet a keyword that a bot will pick-up on and you'll get a "spam follower".

Twipler script
I’m struggling with a dilemma. Progress with twipler is coming along nicely bearing in mind this project could take 6 months or more until it’s ready for the general public. However, a twitter web client really needs to have direct message, followers and trending information. Public timeline and status update is not enough. So my dilemma is; do I include “twipler script” as part of the...
Lost Movie - remixed from the series.
Believe it or not, but I actually know a few people who have never seen the TV series Lost. Well maybe it’s not everyone’s thing, but personally I love the show. With the final season in the pipeline, the whole thing will soon come to an end before we know it. But I ask myself, will I ever go back and watch the whole thing over again from Season 1? Surely there are episodes I could skip over...

Tell me more. Well I assume that you’re already familiar with Twitter or Tweetdeck...
ChgDoc first release
After what seemed like a never achievable first release, and much personal deliberation over "what's the point" "will people think my code stinks" etc, I'm finally in a position to offer up a first version of the source code behind this site. Download ChgDoc Source Code here. This is GPL Open Source. You really need to be a developer to get this source working, but I've tried to make the...
Pirates, the goodies and baddies?

Review - Iomega® ScreenPlay™ HD multimedia hard drive
Why I bought this... I have a DVD player, but that requires me to get up and put a disk in the player. It’s like the dark ages before the TV remote was invented and you had to get out of the chair to change channel. Back then it didn’t matter because there were only 3 channels, but once we had the remote there was no going back. My time is precious and if I have 10 minutes to...
Having fun with Sky News!
SkyNews.com - Website of the Year [sic] SkyNews constantly broadcasting and ever emphasising the worse aspects of current affairs have an equally low quality website. It's tabloid journalism for the 21st century and it's my choice to pay it little attention and perform my own reality check with each breaking news bulletin. Their website Quite why I would visit their website is...

Charlie Brooker's stuff in the Guardian or David Mitchell or even Mark Thomas.
