A nifty little page that shows you your age as it would be if you lived on any of the planets in the Solar System. I if were a Martian, I’d only be 20!

Your Age On Other Worlds

Worst. Advert. Ever.

This is wrong in so many ways.

But it obviously works, since I’m blogging it.

Bah!

Use the computer AND your brain - they’re a good combination.

I need to go to Cornwall for a few days - work as opposed to play, I’m afraid, so I got our travel company to look at booking a room in Truro. Obviously they have some sort of search engine that returns the best hotels in Truro for a given price range, so the results they got back were:

BEST WESTERN GLENGARRY HOTEL
150 Willow Street
Rate - 121.00
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
IN THE HUB OF NOVA SCOTIA, THE BEST WESTERN GLENGARRY HOTEL, OFFERS OUR GUESTS AN AIR CONDITIONED FULLY LICENSED DINING ROOM, COFFEE SHOP, AND PIANO BAR

The Royal Hotel
Truro
Rate - 115.00 B&B Continental breakfast
Non refundable rate once booked.

COMFORT INN TRURO
12 Meadow Dr
Rate - 108.00 B&B Continental breakfast
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Close to Tidal Bore. Easy access off Hwy 102. Shopping and restaurants nearby

Now I’m sure the Best Western Glengarry and The Comfort Inn are both find hotels in their own right, bit the commute to the office I’m working in would be a bit of a pig.

Search engines are great tools to have, but don’t just blindly trust the results.

A bit extreme, but

I know that we all hate spam, but this seems to be a pretty severe reaction.

Still, someone might learn something from it.

The WOT as a shell script..

Whoops, link fixed.

This is excellent, but geeky, humour. Top job…
