I can’t say I’m a fan of all the Hitler hates X rip-offs that have flooded the interwebs (notably Youtube), but I’ll give this one by mambo9jambo a plug. It shares a common ideology that unites all (sane) HSC English students, that creative writing (and HSC English for that matter) sucks. You could say, we all… belong?
*ducks fusillade of flak*
It’s good, as far as Downfall (movie) spoofs go – there are a lot of much lamer parodies out there e.g. “Hitler wants ADSL2+ in Tasmania”.
Hmmm… that’s mildly annoying. A back end upgrade had unexpected side effects, breaking the custom modified theme I was using for the man website (Blog excluded) due to the way it parses get_categories(), so now it looks mingered.
Well more mingered than it was previously anyway. A patch will be out in a few days, so I hear.
Eh, what do you know – some how, this site gets enough visits per month to use over 1.25GB+ bandwidth per month.Yay for search engines!
I looked in the Firefox Help > About menu and guess what I saw?
Firefox raped by Thaksin Shinawat!
As it turns out, the maintainer of the Noia Extreme theme is a Thai. Noia, being one of the Top 10 themes on Mozilla’s extension’s website obviously drew quite a lot of negative attention over it. Yet it still hasn’t been fixed, and users are posting “fixed” or “reverted” versions for those who don’t ish to have their favourite browser adorned by some Botox injecting middle aged Thai man.
I, as with most people consider this adware/political propaganda. Yes, as the author of the Firefox theme he can do whatever he wishes, but a more appropriate manner of expressing his views might have been a link on the theme’s download page, or a tab that opens with related information the first time the theme is used. I don’t see the point of that image actually – clicking on it doesn’t provide any information, or open a new page/tab.
Hopefully the Noia Firefox logo will be restored soon… or I might install the IE7 theme for Firefox in protest
Hmmm… I suppose the default Word Press theme is stylish and all, but it’s cliche’d, as blue always is, when used in the context of websites. Oh wait, Oz Techeducate is blue!
All of the themes online are so garish and awful though. I could try my hand at making a theme, but I have a sneaking suspicion I will find myself subject to flying cow turds
