RejectReality

May I be the first to say the rumours surrounding my mysterious absence have been greatly exaggerated.

I’d like to state for the record that I have not mastered time travel, nor retired to a warm tropical island and I certainly have not taken over the world.

Yet.

(ahem)

While the tumble weeds were keeping the comment spam bots entertained around RejectReality (900 spam comments in 3 months?), the world has not stopped turning.

I’ve… :

• Wished Myk and Flea all the best in their new marriage (congrats guys!)
• Spent a not-insignificant amount of time arguing with rather expensive boxes with lots of flashy lights
• Assisted friends in spinning up new business ventures
• Established how “simple” SNMP really is (simple in concept, dodgy in implementation when the devices you are talking to move their answers around each time you ask them a question)
• Mocked late night TV game shows
• Taken a bunch of new photos
• Played with some new VoIP technologies
• Had a birthday
• and started researching alternate backup technologies (rather apt considering I’ve been assisting friends in the recovery of data from the untimely death of two laptops recently)

While I’m still getting my stuff together so that I can spin this site back up, here’s a quick video to watch; a recut of one of the cult movies for cube dwellers, Office Space, proving just how easy it can be to give a different take on an event with some creative editing.

I’m pretty sure that most people won’t get what is so interesting about it, but the geek in me thinks it’s great!

For reference, here ’s the original in a horrible click-here-to-be-dragged-to-iTunes kinda way, or try IMDB.
