I’m not entirely sure how I found this site, but randomally hopping between sites while clicking on links that seemed mildly interesting seemed to be somewhat responsible. OCR is a site dedicated to providing high-quality remixes to existing video games.

Not much more to say than that, really. I’m particularlly fond of the Da Bomb Lemmings remix. The built-in Last.FM player doesn’t work for me, so click on the Download MP3 link underneath it if you’re also experiencing the same.

Why do I even bother installing Wordpress updates? I installed 2.6 and it toasted the entire admin area so I couldn’t log in. Almost every update has caused the installation to spew, which is quite amazing considering that the files that get updated aren’t touched by us mortals. Lame-o!

Anyway, Romulator has been released. It’s an application that renames ROM files for the Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour, Nintendo DS, Playstation Portable, and Wonderswan systems. It uses the magic of the CRC hash to work out which files are ROMs and then renames them according to a user-specific naming mask. Unlike other ROM renamers, there’s no need to put it into a specific system mode.

This release is v0.90 Alpha. There are missing features and I personally want to redesign its interface. Rather than delaying the thing for a billion years, I’ve decided to go ahead and just release it. I’ve done a load of testing and all that and it seemed to work without a problem.

While I’m here, WoWus v1.09 will be released soon which fixes a bug that can stop WoWus installing addons on some systems.

Doctor Who series 30 (new series 5? Eh, whatever) just finished. I’m not a Who fan and I probably only watch it because of Tennant, but… my impressions? I’ll be brief:

Russell T Davies, you smug wanker. You suck (cock, probably).
