I just stumbled across another amusing reminder that computer are only useful for: Porn, video games, and things that don't externalize beyond computer technology... and now communication, maybe..

I mean how precisely do you tell a person what fscking (scandisk in Windoze) is without explaining a filesystem, inodes, and FATs to them? That you are getting it drunk and then throwing it in the shower after pouring a pot o' coffee down it's throat (holding it's nose to make sure it swallows every drop) ? Or is their a meditative metaphor I am unaware of?

It's a visualization plugin for Winamp, and I almost don't want to spoil the fun by telling you more... Okay here's the graphic from the download (~ 3 meg) site:

I did sort of warn you it was silly, right? T make this a proper plug, here is the web site of the responsible party, WildTangent, Inc.

On third thought, you may not want to bother unless you have:

  • what we in the biz would call a suuuweeeet box (technical term), a fast chip and nice 3d borad seem a good idea (it renders a bit choppy on this here p54c 166 ;(
  • a stomach for doofy licenses and snooping software

Ah, well. Just look at the graphic again, shake your head and walk away. At least I've got WinAmp now, which is a generally good thing on a windoze install, and makes the windoze LJ 'ware much more useful.
