Oh this little mouse

Oh this little mouse
This quite mouse
you scamper you

In the crevice of a noisy day
slips into pin cracks only to rub a worn hand in passing
this thorn of hurried forgetfulness
please hide!

Its in the lone time of the quite room
when the day softly rattles to a halt
outside.
inside is you to me quite quietness
this little thing lies in the middle of the carpet
in the best spot and playful I’m yours
winds around this finger (trying to point you) oh silly
quite shyly smiles me down
playful wrestles a glance and
and gees alright
I guess you can stay
no-because shucks
I like you

Localisation and PHP

A discussion on localization caught my eye, and fleshes out the issues involved. It took me back to a project I did with Bernard on 2001 where we had to translate a portal system for 13 country’s in Europe, each with multiple languages each.

Since I’ve been keeping translation in the back on my mind while developing ComPort i had a look around to see what’s out there for PHP:

One day ComPort will be in Japanese…(one day)…

David Frith

David Frith is ether a genius or insane. The flash toons at his site Fat Pie offers some truly bizaar and random stuff. The Fatpie episodes are really off and out there and (17mb a pop).

Ugly UK

There must have been some serious in breading going on in England. I have found some evidence in support of this:

Story of my life

Odd Todds Laid-Off series is seems to hit close to the mark with me. A little too close…

There has to be a name for this type of Flash animation. Amateur productions doing funny stuff outside the main stream. I guess some net guru will come up for a name for it. God bless em anyway. Power to the masses I say.

p.s. at an internet cafe and the guy next to me… well he stinks.

Deceptercons

If you were into the Transformers, and I don’t mean the little boxes that converted one voltage to another, I mean like the ‘Maniacle Megatron’ type of Transformer then you gotsta checkout the 3D break dancing Shockwave and his little pal Rumble. Deceptercons are bad ass!
