Plaidophile: MLP Archives

This is a tale explaining the manner in which my way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started. If I could have 60 seconds of your time, simply place your posterior in the selected location, and I will relate to you the details of how I was made the male monarch of the district of the City of Los Angeles, California located at coordinates 34.08333 -118.44778.

While I appreciate good design (MLP)

by fluffy at 8:51 AM

here are several examples of one of the biggest problems we had on Kindle. I'm having especially strong flashbacks for pages 6, 15, 16, 18, 19 (holy crap!), 23, 24 (way to break conventions just for the sake of breaking conventions!), 25, 29, and 30.

Also, I'm sure 10 would have probably broken things in an interesting yet subtle way.

(One might say that seeing this gave me a TOC-tic.)

"Skin Horse" by Shaenon Garrity (MLP)

by fluffy at 11:51 PM

I just opened up my feedreader and what do I find, but a new comic by Shaenon Garrity! Woo! (Well, written by Garrity and Wells.)

Only one strip has been posted so far and it's already looking quite awesome. (Hopefully Wells' writing won't get as goofy and "random" as his stories normally are, though.)

K5 reminder (MLP)

by fluffy at 5:07 PM

I was just looking for more information about boost::any_cast and came across this old article by ucblockhead. The comments are pure gold, and not because of any sort of insight they bring.

It is my understanding that the Claremont hotel in Berkeley, CA is not a very good place to stay.

Why is the "gay bomb" news again? (MLP)

by fluffy at 3:20 PM

Everyone's all atwitter with the gay bomb thing that was recently reported, except several news sources broke this story a year and a half ago. Has righteous indignation on the Internet gained much more critical mass since then?
