Inane rambling

Bah - snubbed by the code tour again - such is the life of the "cloak and dagger variety" bug fixer.. but ..
Woo - I've been gifted a rather swishy 6 months of paid account .. which is really very nice of the powers that be :)

Pondering making use of it to venture into S2 once more.. as I haven't dabbled for years and years and years.. but then, I quite like the basic style I'm already using for my journal here.. decisions, decisions.

As heard on an advert for a well known brand-name anti-dandruff shampoo.. "will leave you up to 100% flake free".. WOW.. and said with such conviction that it sounds truly amazing ... but no hang on.. up to.. see what they did there.. turned something that means nothing of any significance into something that sounds important. Yay! Score one for the drones.

I may have to invest up to 100% of my entire life savings in an advertising company .. but I won't.. because, having carried out an extensive survey, 100% of the respondents think that marketing companies are up to 100% overpaid.

.. based on a survey sample of 1 member of the public .. terms may apply .. might not be entirely accurate or even up to 100% true.

This story (yoinked from slashdot) makes me sad. If it's to be believed "they" are going to be remaking or rebooting a multitude of films.. and a lot of them were decent the first time around. Give us new stuff, not re-hashed re-tellings of old material.. leave the old classics to stand up on their own.. they do so admirably as it is.
