I’m off to submit 42 pages of work. Normally 42 pages would be a huge essay or report, perhaps extensive technical documentation. No.
I’m submitting 9 pages of report, and 33 pages of printed code. Almost 4/5 of my submission is something which does bugger all when printed, and would make far more sense to submit on a CD.
Stupidity rules.
As strange, unexpected, slightly bizzare websites go, this one does pretty well.
The girls are hot, but the rest of the scenes are either disturbing or having an element of fetish (Or more likely both).
Make of it what you will.
Apparently the wonderful University of Lincoln have acquired some bicycle storage huts, allowing students with everybody’s favourite two-wheeled transit method to lock them up securely. Students have to provide their own padlock, but this is only to be expected and is no more unusual than any other bicycle storage method. However, I spotted a slight problem in the message telling us about this.
There are three huts by the GCW Library and a further six by the Sports Centre on the Brayford campus.
So by my maths that’s a grand total of nine secure bicycle huts. For a student and staff body of somewhere in the region of 30,000. (more…)
I’d like to start with a genuine quote from the University of Lincoln’s Public Security Policy, available on the university’s internal Portal system under the first entry for a search on “security policy”:
The University has an obligation to balance these 2 requirements. Occassionally these requirements will conflict…..academic freedom…. blah
To which my only reply can be “dude”. It appears that the only publicly accessible version of the Public Security Policy is a draft.

I think this is the end of an era; all those Nigerian 419 spammers (You know, Mr. Umbugaguwakubankurmagaru of the 22nd Nigerian First Banking Oil Holdings Corporation) have finally been caught!
Failing that, this is probably the worst 419 attempt I’ve ever seen in my life. Read more for the full thing.
Pretty, huh? This is the official logo of the 2012 Olympic games, to be held in London. It comes in a variety of colours, and is designed to be animated in all manner of wierd and wonderful ways. The cost? A phenomenal £400,000 to the Wolff Olins agency, who apparently specialise in things like this. There’s one major problem though, which I will illustrate with the aid of an (Admittedly virtual) marker pen.
Yes, that’s the real logo underneath. Now go look at the the one without my scrawlings.
Please, don’t be this stupid. Your satnav is not to be blindly followed, and if you are unable to read instructions on a level crossing then you should not (I repeat, not) be allowed in charge of a vehicle. At all. Ever. In any way.
