I've been reading a couple of web-comics for a while now, and just discovered another, which I've now read from start to current. I recommend the following:
XKCD: A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language.
Questionable Content
Wigu: There is some odd twisted stuff going on here...
and my latest find...
Gunnerkrigg Court: Magic and science, great writing here, I want to know what's happening!
Also I have been listening to the new Metallica tracks that have made there way onto the intertubes, and they actually sound ok. The forthcoming album might actually be a return to form... But I won't be holding my breath :P

Last FM extras
Just been looking at some of the extras on the last.fm site. http://build.last.fm/
Check out the extra stats tool.
See my Artist's wave graph here.
Makes it very easy to see who my favourite artists are and who Ive been listening to lately.
My other site discovery today is http://www.knickerpicker.com/dressing-room.asp
Which kept me amused for a while this morning. :)

Updates
Once again I have been completely slack and not posted for months :S I have thought about it a couple of times and not gotten anywhere...
October Missions were good. The fishing was cancelled due to bad weather. But The rest all happened... Motorhead were awesome - Can't say the same about the support acts. Now I like a bit of extreme/death metal as much as the next guy, but supporting Motorhead? It seemed a bit odd. Only caught the last to support acts, Dawn of Azazel and 8 Foot Sativa. DoA sucked complete ass, their sound was complete crap, just a muddy noise. 8 Foot were a lot better sounding but still didn't do a lot for me.
Motorhead were as I was expecting rather loud, I had earplugs, and used them! One of my mates commented that I must be getting older, and I replied 'Yeah, and wiser!'
They played a lot of songs that I knew and a few that I wasn't familiar with. Overkill was the final encore - They left the stage with feedback still wailing :)
And I didnt realise until after I had done some research that Mikkey Dee is the drummer for Motorhead, I thought the name sounded familar... and he was with King Diamond in the 80's (on Them and Conspiracy) His drum solo was amazing!
Theres another big concert coming up over Easter next year - Rock2WGTN with Ozzy, Kiss & Alice Cooper (more to be announced) I'm keen to go, but it's going to be an expensive event... I have seen Ozzy and Kiss before. Kiss put on a wicked show, but the Ozzy gig suffered from poor sound, it was held at the Logan Campbell Centre which should explain everything :(
Anyway, I think I will wait till the final lineup is announced and see what I think then.
As I said earlier the fishing trip in October was cancelled, but I did get out on the water Sunday just gone (9th Dec) and had a great day.
I've not been out fishing a lot in the past but it was all good. Was up at 5am and on the road at 6am. We got to Kawhia and boarded The Dove at 7. We were well offshore and out fishing til after 4pm There were 14 of us fishing and we caught a total of 90 Snapper. The limit is 10 each, so we were still well under that. We divided the fish up on the wharf ended up with 6 Snapper 2 Gurnard and 2 Kawhai each!
I personally caught 3 Snapper two of which were good 6 or 7 pounders. Also got a couple of Kawhai and a gurnard. Aside fronm that we were also catching Barracuda which are no good. They are full of worms and are inedible. They got thrown straight over the side again. And also Mackerel which were bait fish.
The weather was very overcast and a couple of light showers. But it was good as it meant we didn't have to worry about sunburn.
So my freezer is full of fish now, tis yum :D
Coming up to Christmas holidays now, couple of weeks to go... We have our Work function this Friday, having it out at one of the rural halls. The theme is 'medieval feast' However I don't do fucking costumes. :P
Then Saturday is the LAN club Christmas event - Which will include drinks.
Haven't got anything planned for the break at this point. Although I intend to stay home for Xmas day. Had a blow out with Mum quite a few years back now, so stay away from the Olds at Christmas. The one time I have been back since then as soon as I walked in the the first thing Mum said was negative - and I didn't want to be there anyway so it didn't help.
I always maintain that Christmas is for Kids and Christians and I am neither!

Slacking
Been slack and haven't written anything for ages...
I was sick for a few weeks, nasty chesty cold, once I went to the Dr and got some antibiotics it cleared up very quickly.
I had an appearance in the latest PC World, just a little one in their top 100 list. They quoted me on Flickr
We had our gaming LAN a couple of weeks back, very poor turn out, I think we covered the hall costs and not much more. Didnt get too much leech, but it was good to catch up with the regulars.
Been having some minor issues with our LAN website lately, getting heaps of spam user signups, lots of porn and pill links and so forth in their profiles. I have been deleteing about 10 a day of them lately. Not sure what we can do about it. Although I do know that our phpbb software is out of date, and I dont have enough information to upgrade it. What I would like it to be able to set it so that new signups have to be confirmed before they are added to the user list.
Another good alternative would be to lock the site to NZ IP adressess only.
Scorpion is looking into it, he will speak to the his contact that jacked the site up for us and see what the deal is.
Just got a copy of the promo of the new Dethklok album, damn its some brilliant shit! Have heard some of the material from the cartoon show, but full versions of the songs without dialogue is awesome. I was listening to it at work yesterday and our new Policy Planner was up talking to me "Whats that you're listening to there?" "Dethklok!" heheh! Keeps them wondering. Bloodrocuted and Detharmonic are my favourite tracks at the moment.
Plans are coming together for October, I am looking forward to having a break from work, have a few things lined up, Fishing off the coast of Kawhia with Delmar, Motorhead on the 19th in New Plymouth, Asbiorne coming for a visit and a visit to Delmars with Bat in attendance... Might see if I can get over to see my sister as well while Asbiorne is here, I'm sure he would like to see her and I haven't visited her at her new place yet.
