The Cabbage Patch

New Amazing Upcoming Fantastic Section!!

Hello World.

I have had an idea (I know, amazing isn’t it?). That idea is that I will start a new regular section to this site (well, the first regular section really). That section will be entitled Game of the Week (GotW), and will consist of a new piece of cheese every week. No sorry, that was the first plan. The revised edition consisted of a new GAME every week, and I think that is the one I will be going with.

So, if you have any suggestions for games you would like me to put up on the site, email me at orrible.cabbage@gmail.com with a link to it.

I am hoping to get this section up and running by the weekend, so all suggestions are greatly welcomed (you will be recognized as the contributor if your suggestion is used).

Just because you can…

Hello World.

I have been using a fun little utility on my computer for a while now, and I thought it was about time I shared it with you. It is called StrokeIt and it is a program which allows you to control various actions on you computer just by moving the mouse. For example, you can open internet explorer by simply holding the right mouse button and making a “W” shape with your mouse. There are many other actions, which are explained here. Whilst this program is not going to change your life, you will find it hard to go back once you’ve tried it.

Cool little game

Hello World.

I have found a fun little game for you to waste your time with. In fact I have found two versions of the same game. The basis for this game is to drag the square around while avoiding the other blocks, and don’t touch the edge.

This is the original version of the game (as far as I know):

and this is a better version with cool music to accompany it:

People really are stupid…

Hello World.

I have just come across what I consider to be the most useless website ever conceived. This page confirms the theory that humans are idiots, and makes me almost ashamed to be one.

But regardless of this, I’m going to give you the address anyway, simply because it kind of fits in with the theme of this site. So here it is:

Have fun wasting your life.

Grrraaarrrrggghhhh…..! Me… Angry….

Hello World.

I am officially pissed off. This is the third time that bloody Blogger has not let me make changes to my template.

This is what happens:
I open the template editor, I go through and carefully change what I want, and then I click the save changes button and whaddayaknow, I get a bloody 404 error!

The first time this happened, I stupidly thought “Oh well, that could just be my internet playing up, it’ll work next time.”

Then I try again, a few days later. And guess what? Same bloody thing!
Again, I thought “Ahh well, could be a coincidence, it’ll probably work next time. Third time lucky right?”

Well, I just tried, for the third time, to make a tiny and insignificant change to my template. AND IT STILL DOESN’T WORK!!!

What am I doing wrong? I mean, come on… it cant be something I’m doing can it? Can changing three little words really cause the chaos it seems to? Why, oh why, won’t it work?

Now you’ll have to excuse me, I have to crawl into my corner and sob for a while.

Another interesting picture…

Hello World.

I have recently come across another good picture for your viewing pleasure. This one is more interesting than funny, and it makes me think, above all things “How did they bloody do that?!”

I really like this picture, because not only does it deliver a good anti-smoking image, it also looks really cool. (picture found by Max Ryan)

Extremely funny, if only it weren’t so true…

Hello World.

Some friends and I have come across a very funny blog, allegedly written by Australia’s Prime Minister, Mr John Howard. This is one of the funniest and cleverest satires I have yet come across, and is well worth a read (although much of the references are very Australian, and would probably go right over the heads of most other people).

Here is the address, for those who are interested.

By the way, I appologise to all of my loyal readers (yes, both of you) for having been absent all this time. It wasn’t my fault, I’ve had to be dead for tax purposes.
