EVE Online is 10. Older than Warcraft and nowhere near as lame ;)

Looking for resources and guidance for learning Javascript (and various other web technologies) and was wondering if anyone knew of some good circles to follow?

How do I filter invitations so I only receive them from people I already have circled?

For the month of #Movember, my avatar across all social networks will be sporting a 'tache. If you think you can do better than my effort feel free to have a go and I may just use yours instead :D

Time to redefine the term 'Social Game' and reclaim it for games that really build societies. The spam factories on FB are not Social Games, they're network farms. Encouraging players to create networks of people that they have no interaction with beyond the game in order to provide them with behavioural data that can be used to target marketing.

Today marks the first day of work on a scratch built Buddypress theme.

After looking at the forum software that is available and gauging their ease of customization and compatibility with wordpress I've finally given in and installed the buddypress plugin.

I will be creating a custom theme, from scratch for it and am currently looking for a comprehensive tutorial. (I'm not likely to need it as the theming system is very similar to Wordpress)

Does anyone know of a decent guide/tutorial that highlights the differences in theming between WP and BP?

Aargh!!

Anyone know of a decent, comprehensive tutorial for integrating wordpress and bbpress?

I'm running into the "User does not exist" error when folloing the one's I've found.

(bbpress 1.1 and wordpress 3.3.2)

I thought this was going to be a pithy and succinct comment on the content of the linked article, boy was I wrong. Warning: Long Post Ahead

You want to know why? Scarcity.

All of the major traditional media industries rely on supplies of what they make being limited and them having control of the means of distribution. They don't like the internet because it takes that control away from them. They're also stuck in the mindset of a manufacturing industry when they should really be switching to the service model.

So rather than embrace it, they do everything in their power to hobble it. They don't seem to realise that nothing they do will ever be enough to maintain the status quo. In fact everything they are trying is merely pushing the technology further out of their limited sphere of influence.

Except that algebra's usefulness is limited to a fairly narrow range of things (unless you actually think really hard about how to apply algebra to every situation) whereas playing music gives yourself and others pleasure, cooking allows you to fend for yourself, and learning a foreign language will be more an more useful as we travel into the future (learn Chinese, srsly).

I would still do this though if I happened across my Maths teacher today... ;)

This weekend will be fuelled by red bull and pizza as I get the P13 website pulled together.

The largest chunk of time is going to be devoted to learning how to style Vanilla Forums, so that its look fits with the rest of site. If it worked the same way as Wordpress this would not be an issue but rather than keeping all a theme's files in the same place vanilla seems to scatter them into a variety of places which makes creating your own theme a bit of a nightmare.

If anyone can point me at a decent tutorial for building a vanilla forums theme completely from scratch (ie not just tweaking an existing theme) I'd be most grateful.

Right so what is up with the group chat on G+? It only seems to work from mobile devices and the 'add person to chat' button is conspicuous by its absence in the G+ chat interface and yet it appears in the Gmail chat interface (but doesn't work)

Hangouts are all well and good but cause all sorts of issues when some people don't have cams/mics. Don't get me wrong, hangouts are cool but a simple group text chat would be so much more useful (and reliable)

#google+, #niggles , #feedback

(also, who would I point this at if I wanted someone at google to notice it?)

Google Shopping would be so much more useful if you could search based on your shopping list and get the site returned where all the items are available at the cheapest combined price...

This year, EVE Online is getting bigger with immortal soldiers fighting for control of New Eden's planets in Dust 514. I played an early build in the first ever tournament at Fanfest (we won :D) and it is awesome. I would actually pay money for it as it is and it's just going to get better.

The Matrix Revolution - Disturbed - Decadence

I have come to the conclusion that The Matrix Trilogy, and the accompanying Animatrix. Are what could probably be termed cyber-gothica. Discuss. ;)
