Google calculator. It’s insane!

After glancing at that annoying 118 118 advert, I typed into google, [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=A10&q=speed+of+sound&btnG=Search&meta=]"Speed of Sound"[/url]. After this I thought, would it put it into a more usable unit, so then I tried [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=GNg&q=speed+of+sound+in+mph&btnG=Search&meta=]"Speed of Sound in mph"[/url]. I then thought "wow that's quite clever. Wonder if I can trick it".

Now, see the results of my curiosity, some of them are just plain rediculous!

[url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=440&q=speed+of+sound+in+inches+per+hour&btnG=Search&meta=]"Speed of Sound in inches per hour"[/url]

It seems this was too easy for Google. So now I moved on to more difficult things. See here:
[url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=ZQg&q=speed+of+sound+in+millimeters+per+year&btnG=Search&meta=]"Speed of Sound in millimeters per year"[/url]

Now I ask, is there any need for this?? The only useful thing I learned because of this insanity is that The speed of light is around [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&hs=FVg&q=speed+of+light+in+feet+per+nanosecond&btnG=Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB]1 foot per nanosecond[/url]

Xbox is on ebay :)

In another effort to raise my lowsy feedback rating I put my old Xbox and a few games on the bay .

[url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320284657197]Buy it[/url] :D:D Only 99p..

[b]In other news...[/b]

Dragracer is now even more complete with more cars, more mods, more users and more features. Go to [url=http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=17055912033]Facebook[/url] to play it now .

Peace

Dragracer – Finished :)

Today I have completed my Facebook application "Drag Racer" to the point of playability!

The game consists of buying and tuning cars and racing them against your friends. It is far from what I want it to be but I can consider it complete in the sense that you can add it and have some interaction with it, some may even call it playability. Tomorrow I plan on releasing it into the Facebook directory and I urge you all to try it and return criticism and suggestions to me here.

Now that the basic functionality is complete my interest has turned to graphics. I am a completely talentless graphic artist and am currently looking for a way to make my purely text-based game prettier and involve some colour and whatnot. I have a few ideas but a last resort could be to hire someone to make some for me. Hopefully time spent off my foot can be well spent trying to pioneer Photoshop but just incase, all talented graphic artists that may be interested, leave a comment. There may even be money involved

For now then, It's back to building a database of cars and parts to my application, and tweaking the app till it's damn near perfect

Please come along and play [url=http://www.new.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=17055912033][b]Drag Racer[/b][/url]

TheVDS on Ebay

One of my domains is on ebay, partly because I'm never going to use it, partly because I needed something to list to make a new ebay seller account.

The domain in question is[url=http://www.thevds.com] [b]www.thevds.com[/b][/url] and is available for sale [url=http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TheVDS-com-brandable-web-hosting-domain-name_W0QQitemZ320281662808QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320281662808]here[/url]

LFS Server

I used to play a game called [url=http://liveforspeed.net]Live for Speed[/url] quite often but when I broke my PC steering wheel I quit, and have just recently started playing again. Given that I have a spare server (this one) lying around not doing much, I have opened a LFS server. It is called (Groomi.net - Clean Racing) and should be up 24/7. Please feel free to drop in and say Hi
