Beginner Rubik's Cube Solution

My beginner solution to the Rubik's cube page is going pretty well. Over 16,000 visitors since I put it up in late February this year! It's great to be spreading the word of the cube!

If your cube looks like this but you'd rather it looked like this then you should visit Jasmine's Beginner Solution to the Rubik's Cube!

The Daily Show and Election Chaser

Now that the Australian Federal election has been called, surely it's time for the Chaser team to do another series of Election Chaser? I've seen a show over here which reminds me of Election Chaser. It's called The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and it's very funny. Actually, I'm sure this show existed before Election Chaser, so I should probably say that Election Chaser reminds me of The Daily Show.

Peter's progress (II)

Well, after much teasing from me, Peter now has some content up on his blog. My favourite thing he's written about is an online flash quest game called Big Bad Al and Sheena Gothskull. It reminds me of the Leisure Suit Larry series by Sierra.

I used to love the Sierra quest games. My favourite series were Gabriel Knight, Laura Bow and the King's Quest, but I played pretty much all of them - Police Quest, Space Quest, Larry, Conquests, Manhunter, Black Cauldron, Shivers I and II, Phantasmagoria and Gold Rush.

Anyway, Peter has finished the Sheena Gothskull game. I haven't yet. I started it, but then got distracted by Theseus and the Minotaur.

What time is it??

If you ever need to deal with different timezones, then you should check out Time and Date. I find the personalised clock really useful. I've set this up with the timezones I need to keep track of, and then added the page as a custom button on the Links Toolbar in my browser window. Convenient!

Theseus and the Minotaur

Someone just posted a fun online logic maze game in the speedcubing discussion group. It's not about Rubik's cubes, but pretty much all speedcubers are into logic puzzles. Anyway, the game is called Theseus and the Minotaur. I'm currently up to Maze 7. I know I will have to keep visiting this site until I complete all 15!

Catfish eats dog? Catfish *eats* dog!

If you're a small dog living in Gueldendorf, you'd better stay away from the lake. According to a news report, there's a giant catfish on the prowl who is suspected of eating a small dachshund. The catfish in question is a mere 1.5 metres (4.9 feet). Apparently they can grow up to 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) and 300 kgs (661.5 lbs).
