The names of Studio Ghibli

Posted on 26 November, 2010. Filed under: animated, fun | Tags: , |

Is there some Studio Ghibli’s  obsession with names that sound S-S-K? Just consider the name of these main characters: Setsuko, Grave_of_the Fireflies Satsuki, My Neighbour Totoro Shizuku, Whisper of the Heart Sōsuke, Ponyo And, to a lesser degree: Ashitaka, Princess Mononoke

The BrainFuck programming language

Posted on 15 May, 2010. Filed under: computing, fun | Tags: , , |

So, there’s a programming language with a name that cannot be spoken in public. A bit like the band The Butthole Surfers. I noticed it by a reference in the pygments site (pygments is a sort of super prettyprinter). The source code makes it clear why that name was chosen.

I am basically an “adventure gamer”, in the sense that I play games for their stories. It turns out, there are not so many adventure games (AGs) around, and some have rather weak stories to tell (plus I don’t like puzzles so much, which are hard to avoid in the AG genre.) But! there are [...]

So, we finally got ourselves one of those Thermomix robots. Some thoughts one why its followers can be called a sect: They despise all those ignorant of their secret. They speak a language unintelligible to anyone not a follower (5-7-9, then 7 sec at 6, 80) They know by heart the teachings contained in “The [...]
