I finally got around to packaging up the 2.0 version of Make Link. The thread is at MozillaZine. The big addition is the ability to define your own link types. I’ve fixed all of the known functionality bugs; I’ve checked it works with all versions up to 1.0PR. I’ve submitted it to update.mozilla.org. The only thing that concerns me is that I couldn’t get to netsoc’s FTP server so this version is hosted at SoylentRed. I haven’t updated the project page yet because that requires editing a static file and uploading it and I’m too lazy for that.

Am I the only one who thinks that Emma Watson looks like Edge? Draw a little ‘I’m from an evil universe’–beard on her and you’’ve got yourself a tag team champion.

I have five Gmail invitations to give out. I’m pretty certain all of my regulars have accounts already, but I’m offering these here anyway. Leave your name and current email address if you’re interested.

Edit: I still have five, having been given several more. Note that Hotmail addresses might not receive invites properly (Hotmail junks them occassionally), so if you have another email address it might be safer to give me that one.

Edit (December 5): I’m still getting hits to this entry so I assume people are still interested. I still have invites to give away.

Via Insert Joke Here, it appears Richard Dawkins’ newest book is available. Amazon has it for half price: The Ancestor’s Tale: A Pilgrimage to the Dawn of Life. In the interest of full disclosure, they’ve promised to give me money if you buy through that link. Feel free to buy elsewhere. This is one that skips my wish list.

If anyone thinks that this story of Kissing Hank’s Ass isn’t exactly analogous to Christianity, feel free to make you objections known. No doubt you have a lot of information to back your position up. I like the eleventh comandment:

Kiss Hank’s ass or He’ll kick the shit out of you.

I’m close to releasing Make Link v2.0. I’ve started a thread over on the MozillaZine Forums for anyone who wants to help me find bugs in the alpha version. That basically involves using it and then whining at me when it breaks. Which I know many of you are good at. Comments closed because I want the feedback in the other thread.

…and my brain is coming out. In related news: go read a CounterStrike Source Beta review.

Matthew Baldwin has been inspired, by the recent Freddy vs. Jason and the upcoming Alien vs. Predator, to design a tournament to decide once and for all who’s the baddest ass. I reckon Agent Smith would win inside the matrix, Sauron outside. Though Darth Vader and the Titanic Iceberg would put up a good fight.

Firstly, for anyone who isn’t hip with sports entertainment, this entry is about World Wrestling Entertainment. Secondly, offbeat shenanigans rule. Having cleared those points up: There’s some talk on the Oratory about a possible reforming of Edge and Christian (second section on the linked page). It’s purely speculative, but entirely plausible. We’ve been waiting for Edge’s heel-turn since his return. He’s just not comfortable in his current role. Christian has come on hugely in the three years since their split, by now undoubtedly the better of the two.

Christian helping out Edge at Summerslam would be logical because it would prevent Chris Jericho, the guy that "hurt" him in their cage match, from winning it. Get steroid lover Batista out of there, have Christian trip up Jericho on a lionsault, Edge can spear him and that’ll be the pinfall. After that, they can reunite with the conchairto in Toronto! It’d rule, dude. Just like sodas rule!

The tension between Edge and Chris Jericho means a heel-turn is inevitable but now I come to write it I can see the turn being Jericho’s. We know he can do it, he was a great arrogant heel during his Undisputed Champion reign. His face-turn may have been to recent and Edge is still a little lost where he is but I’m not ruling out a surprise from the King of the World yet. Whatever happens, this remains true:

I say send Tomko down to OVW so he can learn more than just a boot to the face. We don’t need another Test. Trish fits in as Christian’s girl like she did before. She’s can fit anywhere as far as I’m concerned.
