Backstroke of the West

July 29th 2005 Posted to Miscellany,Society

For all you Star Wars fans, Backstroke of the West chronicles hilarious mis-translations of dialogue from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Who says pirated movies don’t contribute to our culture?

This riff on the current world political climate as seen from the Bourne shell made me laugh out loud.

Late night entertainment

July 12th 2005 Posted to Cycling

Tim Bray is right in describing this year’s Tour de France as good entertainment. Except that for us in Australia, it’s late night entertainment!

Tim, don’t forget the web coverage on cyclingnews.com. Then you can use my GreaseMonkey script in Firefox to enhance your experience!

Tour de GreaseMonkey

July 05th 2005 Posted to Cycling,Tech

I have created a GreaseMonkey user script specifically for cyclingnews.com results pages from the 2005 Tour de France.

It highlights riders’ teams in something approximating the team colours. This is trickier than it might seem because many teams have similar or same colours, with different patterns. It also highlights Aussie riders in a different way to the other scripts.

So, grab it and have a look. If you are using one of the other scripts you’ll need to disable it or configure it to skip TdF 2005 results pages (http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/tour05/*). Please give me feedback or suggested changes on colours etc.
