Strife Strips: Shorts - Blackout
Check it out, *another* new Strife Strip short just I as I said. How do you like them apples? Are they ripe and juicy? Hmmm? Are they? (Yes there are)

Normally when I make a long episode I need to think of a series of ideas and then work out how to string them together. With these shorts they only need one idea, so they are much easier to make. Hence why you get to see *another* comic this week. Will there be another one next week? We shall see :)

Forget the Internet, read books!
I've just ordered myself a series of (second hand, so cheap!) books to expand my mind. As much as I enjoy playing games and other such anti-social activities I find factual books fascinating. My current interest in usability and the physiology of human interaction and decision making. The genesis of this interest came from reading The Design of Everyday Things which has left me never looking at a door in the same way.

Uber Poll: RSS, what of it?
When creating this website, I had a quick go at making an RSS feed for the news system, but then hit a small problem and gave up. Inspirational!

But it seems that 21% of people would use RSS and 21% might use it , which adds up to a large proportion of the Strife viewers.

47% of you folks are much like myself in just visiting the site each week, rather than bothering with an RSS feed.
That leaves 11% who seems to enjoy being stuck in the IT dark ages, I salute you!

I've made a note to re-visit my RSS code, so that those who would like to use it, can.
