Rami has lived on three continents, can get by in three languages, and got a great deal on a three-for-one university degree. In his free time, he can generally be found fiddling with open-source software and websites, in which he is joined by his stuffed toy penguin Aristophanes.

I'm amused by the reviews on Triumff's Amazon page:
“a brilliant occult-comedy-historical-adventure that's true to the best traditions of the genres”
Sounds like fun.“Abnett truly is the master of future war”
Wait, what? Are you sure you've got the right Abnett book? - at 00:56 on 22-07-2010 link Are you advocating metapedantry?

If you look at what we did with the tool when we got hold of it, we basically played around with names we already knew and picked up on the errors.
I think that may be not because of the flaws in the Regender site but because of our tendency here on FB to rip things to shreds... - at 00:21 on 20-07-2010 link The immediate impression made by looking at a Regendered site, though, is still quite striking -- and I think that's a sufficiently useful point in itself. Perhaps I'm inclined to give the guy a break because I can see the engineering trade-off at work here. A relatively unsophisticated search-and-replace is the work of an afternoon, while a real language-level rewriter is the work of a computer science thesis.
- at 23:46 on 19-07-2010 link There are a few clbuttic errors, sure. It's probably just a big search-and-replace. Who needs to be sophisticated to be fun ;-)?
- at 00:36 on 05-07-2010 link I'm not sure what the right word for it is, actually -- denied racism, perhaps? Ignored racism? "Hilarious" white-boy-ism?
- at 03:08 on 03-07-2010 link Good grief. I can't for the life of me understand how on earth the writer didn't see how massively offensive his article is. Oh, and thanks for the non-apology, Time.
- at 19:49 on 30-06-2010 link ...wow. I wonder if he's already mentioned that he knows it's a stereotype so it's OK...

- at 07:47 on 24-06-2010 link Well, I have a VM instance that I keep around, but I use that mostly for work stuff so don't want to fill it up with games :S
- at 03:52 on 24-06-2010 link Hangs for me just after I enter my profile name -- audio nitpicks, I think. Like lots of WINE software.

Desktop dungeon is Windows-only!
D'oh! That's me oppressed too, then. It sounds fun :-( - at 08:47 on 23-06-2010 link Just saw an advert for Robot Unicorn Attack on TV! It features the line "Is your masculinity challenged? Then you're not man enough to play this game!" -- love it!
- at 17:45 on 22-06-2010 link But the setting is so delightfully exotic and foreign and magical, how can you have any problems with it?
- at 01:05 on 17-06-2010 link Update to spoiler tags: you can now click on them to reveal what is hidden. Should make things a bit easier for those with mobile devices or finicky laptop touchpads.
- at 12:16 on 15-06-2010 link Just to let everyone know quoted spoilers now work - i.e. if you quote some text that has spoiler tags, the spoiler tags will show up in your quoted text too.
