Dammit. So I thought nobody loved me, I get into work this morning, plug my phone in and notice I have no signal. So I turn it off and back on again and whammy, full signal. Then over the next 5 minutes I get like 15 messages. Mostly Jimmy when he was drunk on Fri + Sat but still.

So yeah, if you have messaged me over the weekend, I may have recieved it (since I did get a few) but chances are I didn't til now, so sorry that I didn't reply 8(. Anyway, time to get my work on

I AM THE CHILLI COMMANDER

Just about had enough of those fucking Ities

2006-07-03T22:34:07Z

So yeah, my holiday consisted of various places in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and France. There was top notch European HDR, there were military convoys ( [Baka]FaithRaven [Eryx] Military Convoy ), there was hostels (but no torture, except maybe the hostel owner's jokes, ZING!), there was loud exclamations about who was communist and how I should boycott Coca Cola. It was pretty badass so I thought I would follow in your footsteps and post a few of the pics I took (there was something like 150, but for bandwidth reasons I have cut a lot of them, especially those with me in them :P cos you don't deserve them). Oh and bear in mind, I suck at photos :P

I found my identical hand twin:

They call me DK Raven:

Never trust a pirate, YARGH:

There was much trekking down long roads in Paris (shot taken from under Arc de Triomphe):

The Louvre Pyramid (no there was no murders, HAR HAR HAR):

Notre Dame de Paris:

GORE! GORE! GORE!

Raven <3 Austria:

Yeah Adam, wake up you damn Itie:

Wait, there was water in cs_italy? HAR HAR HAR:

zOmg, check out my mad photography skillz:

What a trek, reminds me of Lost Coast for some reason:

One of the highest points in the western section of the Alps:

Don't look down...

Oh and these were awesome, they were a bit expensive to buy just for novelty sake though:

At some point I might post some more, but yeah, ZOMG an lj post!1113313

My Lake House Review

2006-07-02T19:51:52Z

I still haven't forgotten Chip's review of Resident Evil 2 and because I am a cunt, here is another awesome Raven Film Review.

The Lake House, in which Keanu Reeves plays The One... that got hit by a bus, was quite a good film, you should go see it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The End

The BodyGroom!

2006-05-18T17:24:39Z

This website is awesome. Complete with flash animation of a man grabbing his crotch every few seconds and a whole section "Optical Inch": a seemingly pointless eye test and then the man declares "Well let me just tell you this, the BodyGroom can make your ***** look bigger" then wham, back to the main menu. Now THAT is advertising.

My Accident

2006-04-15T17:32:19Z

Ok so fitting in with the theme that is going round my friends page of posting your work (which I approve of by the way, it is much more interesting than a lot of the crap you get on people's journals) I thought I would give you a little preview since my stuff isn't really ready/worthy of being shown yet.

So today I set about the task of designing some VoIP app. I was fiddling about trying to get something working and then BAM, next thing I know I have accidentally made...

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, SanguineRaven Software proudly brings to you, TEH INTERNET BOWSER!

It works and everything but somehow I don't quite think it is ready for the mainstream. It doesn't leak memory like a bitch (*cough* FireFox) and yes, currently it doesn't really support going back/forward but it's still useable for normal browsing habits and now I can be like "Real Men Use Internet Bowser!" and stuff. Oh and theres also the slight concern of the doomsday button which it seems to have some uhh adverse effects.

Putting that aside, INTERNET BOWSER!, coming to your pc SOON

EDIT: oh and tabbed browsing! Take that Internet Explorer

This should be where I talk about and post pictures of the work I have been doing. Unfortunately, that's not gonna happen since I don't think anyone is interested in seeing pictures or hearing me talk about AI for tanks, field programmable gate arrays, image preprocessing, the simulation of birds flying around obstacles or my algorithm that solves the 'travelling salesmen problem', so instead I will leave you with this picture of a kitten, and depart.

Bloody Valentine commemoration

2006-02-14T13:46:30Z

So this year I am not gonna mock the dead with my pictures. Instead I am just going to ask that everyone take a few minutes to remember all those who died. I am of course talking about The Bloody Valentine incident when those Natural bastards used Nuclear warfare and all those raptors in GINNs protecting the Titanic which was orbiting Junius 7 died.

So please take a few moments to remember. We can only hope that raptor's eventually evolve to have opposable thumbs so they might one day have a chance to actually successfully pilot those GINNs and prevent something like this from happening again. RIP.

Cardifffest 2006

2006-02-05T20:58:58Z

So here's the plan. It's Jamie's birthday on the 28th (a Tuesday) so trying to arrange for anyone who wants to go to make a trip to Cardiff either the weekend before or the weekend after.

Jamie would prefer Friday-Saturday, which is alright by me since I have Friday's off but what are people's timetables on Fridays like?

Looking at travel, megabus runs from London Victoria to Cardiff at about a 3hour coach ride. For some indication of prices:

Friday 24th outbound
depart 08:00 arrive 11:15 - 4seats for £12 (£3 each)
depart 11:45 arrive 15:00 - 4seats for £20 (£5 each)
depart 15:00 arrive 18:15 - 4seats for £36 (£9 each)

Saturday 25th Return
depart 12:15 arrive 15:30 - 4seats for £20 (£5 each)
depart 15:15 arrive 18:30 - 4seats for £12 (£3 each)

a Saturday-Sunday trip is slightly more expensive with about a minimum of 4seats for £20.
Also, the number of people who go will alter the price but I figured 4 might be about right.

For accomodation, Jamie has 2 spare beds and 2 leather sofa's so there is room there and I have no problem sleeping on the floor if needbe, but there is a hotel round the corner if you really don't wanna stay with him

So who would like to go, would you be able to depart on a Friday, and is that weekend ok?

My imagination has been raped

2005-11-27T23:33:10Z

Went to see Harry Potter. I was gonna post about what was disappointing but already discussed this with Jimmy so in bullet form:

Things That Sucked

No Dobby, Winky or S.P.E.W

The rushed world cup, no stealing of the wand for the Dark Mark, no Barty Crouch explanation

Ludo Bagman cut completely, wtf?

Percey cut completely (gonna have to give his part to someone else in number 5)

Ending cut short - Madam Maxime goes back to Beaubatons instead of going off to the moutains with Hagrid. Guess they are just gonna cut that completely from the rest of the films? Oh and no gathering for OotP

The final fight scene was really short and only had about 1/5th of the Death Eaters >_<

They really didn't choose a good Cho.

Dumbledore's actor

The sexual harassment, Radcliffe fanservice scene

Mad Eye Moody's eye was comical. It sucked.

What the hell happened to all the Rita Skeeter parts?!

Things That Didn't Suck

Durmstrangs entrance and general portrayal was a lot better than I expected. They managed to nail both Cedric and Krum's parts nicely.

Hermione was hot (but not legal)

Ginny is progressing towards hot (definately not legal)

"In Soviet Bulgaria, Triwizard tournament enters you!"

Hermione: "I thought you said you were working on that egg" .... "I'll work on her eggs!"

Overall, it was an alright movie. There were some pointless changes and a lot of places they could have improved on. It was the best book and best film so far but the unforgiveable parts was really messing up the Barty Crouch plot (which is pretty much the key to the book) and what annoyed me (although as Jimmy counters, they need some action, its a movie) was the first task when for some stupid reason he flies out of the arena and around hogwarts, culminating in a few minutes of 'lets show off our penis size by spending money on computer animation' on the top of the towers.

Anyway, just my opinion, and I am not willing to argue about it and the whole "book vs film" thing so yeah, take it.
