I was meaning for that to sound a bit like the iconic "khaaaaaan" yell, but oh well - fell flat a bit.  Not talking about Nim Chimpsky here, the famous chimp from the language study at Columbia, but rather Num Shandu, the Castithan general who lead the charge on Defiance (and lost).  Seems like he needed some cybernetics in order to get him back to working order again.  In any

Sure, Windows 10 isn't "new" any more, and there are enough people out there that upgraded so that they could get that annoying popup to go away, but as an enterprise user I am happy to not have had to deal with that "do you want to upgrade now?" (they should have used Clippy to make those announcements) :-) With work done at my home, and my work computers resting for now, it seemed like a good

Ένα από τα υποχρεωτικά μαθήματα στο λύκειο ήταν τα μαθήματα ιστορίας. Συγκεκριμένα έπρεπε να κάνουμε 2 χρόνια ιστορίας, τα οποία αρχίζαμε στην 10η τάξη (1η λυκείου στην Ελλάδα) και τα συνεχίζαμε στην 11η τάξη. Το τμήμα ιστορίας

This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-) (original archive here)

I came across this movie trailer the other day for a Warcaft movie.  I've never been much into World of Warcraft the MMORPG, I have an aversion to paying montly fees for playing games (which is why I like free-to-play games like Defiance).  The last time I played warcraft, it was WarCraft 2 on my Performa 635 and it looked like this: Watching the trailer I got vibes of Avatar and

Well, for N7 Day (November 7th), EA released a trailer for the new Mass Effect game, apparently titled Mass Effect: Andromeda.  It doesn't say much, but it does feature the voice of female Commander Sheppard.  I played as the male version on the first play-through, so the voice-over was a bit of a surprise.  Wonder what the game will bring!

It's been a while since I've posted something music related.  I came across this song "Free.mp3" (aka the pirate bay song) by Dubioza Kolektiv.  Pretty entertaining, and quite catchy. You can also download it for free here: http://dubioza.org/albums/happy-machine/

With the end of enterforaprize, the next SevTrek in the SevTrek chronology is Jurassic Trek - a spoof of The Original Series.  Presenting the crew of Jurassic Trek (original source): Captain Gym QuirkThe typical 60's TV man. Butt kicking, womanizing and wearer of shirts that would come off at the slightest provocation. Although Jurassic Trek only lasted 3 years, some say if Quirk had got

Kinda stinks to be both sick and have a ton of homework when new content arrives for games that you like to play, but oh well - such is life :)  This past week Season 11 of Star Trek Online was released with new exploratory content, previous chapter revamps, a new reputation system, and some new PvE queues.  I haven't had much time to dive in to play, but I did get some chance to

Well...this was a tool I forgot that I had signed up for!  I guess it's goodbye for a free screen-casting tool (which apparently I rarely used).  Here is the note I received the other day from the crew at Screenr: Sadly, we’re retiring Screenr on November 11, 2015. As you might already know, Screenr’s recording capability is based on Java RE (Runtime Environment), which is
