The Rimmer Song…. Its Coming..

If you’re in trouble he will save the day,
He’s brave and he’s fearless, come what may;
Without him the mission would go astray.
He’s Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
Without him life would be much grimmer.
He’s handsome, trim and no-one’s slimmer,
He will never need a Zimmer.

He’s Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
More reliable than a garden strimmer.
He’s never been mistaken for Yul Brynner,
He’s not bald and his head doesn’t glimmer.
Master of the wit and the repartee,
His command of Space Directives is uncanny.
How come he’s such a genius? Don’t ask me!

Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
He’s also a fantastic swimmer.
And if you play your cards right
Then he just might come round for dinner!

He’s Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
No rhymes left now apart from quimmer,
We hope they fade us out before we get to schwimmer!
Fade out you stupid plimmer!

Thank God For Twitter

Dominic Hodgson — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:16:38 +0000

I love twitter, I use it for friends, family, work and fun. What I love most about twitter, is how I think its brought our community much closer together, our Northern Group (Geekup, NorthHub, Local Usergroups) have come on a lot stronger over the past few months and I firmly believe a big hand in that goes to twitter.

I use twitter as everything

A Microblog
A Communication Device
A Means of introduction
A News Service
A “whats going on” calendar

I can be in Manchester for the afternoon and ask if anyones free for lunch, within 10 minutes I could have 5 replies.

I can have a problem with some php code or javascript, I can post the url and pretty much instantly someones replied with your an idiot and mentioned my missing semi colon

I can see who’s attending a specific event or when tickets for the next barcamp are available and the race to get them is on, I can even direct message someone to pick me up one.

Theres a tonne of possibilities and its because Twitter isn’t as formal as email, isn’t as in your face as instant messaging and can be turned off for a day or so without any major mishap, you don’t usually go away for a weekend and come back to 1,000 twitters that you have to go through, you just check your replies and direct messages and bugger the rest. its the one thing they’ve done great, they’ve created an IM / Email Hybrid that just…works…(most of the time)

Recently at BarCampLeeds, I met a lot of people who I’d spoken to and I follow on twitter, a few of those I had built up a good friendship with without even knowing them, knowing there name or sometimes knowing what they look like (apart from an avatar).

So I can ignore the downtime, I’m not too bothered about losing text messages and I don’t even miss the jabber API that much, Thank you Twitter folks and Thank You Followers and people I follow.

The Most Useless Twitter Feature ...

Mario Kart Wii Release Meet Up Anyone?

Dominic Hodgson — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 22:34:30 +0000

Anyone that has met me at a meet up or barcamp knows I usually wear a Nintendo T-shirt and it started off as a joke but now people get a little worried if I don’t wear one (Sorry Matt) anyway April the 11th is the release date of Mario Kart Wii… REALLY excited by this.. and its a perfect excuse for a little get together… I’m buying a copy on release day and I know a few other people are… I can probably get a venue with a few projectors for us to meet up and race to the ~~death~~ finish.

This would just be a bit of fun and for a couple of hours

Just throwing the idea out to anyone?
