Google analytics (Big tits!)

Monday, June 7th, 2010

I love google analytics*, it’s great and awesome in all sorts of ways that I won’t go into right now, instead allow me to present some funny search queries that have all somehow led people to this blog.

*For those of you who didn’t know, Google Analytics is a way to know how many people visit your website, what they search for, or where they come from, etc…

variations of “stargate universe sucks” - 1100 hits
variations of “new star trek movie sucks” – 1800 hits

So far so good, at least there are a few people out there with good taste, but it is when you get down to the more unique searches, those with only a few hits that you find the weird stuff.. Apparently even tough Stargate Universe sucks, somebody on the show has huge (or big) tits :D

Stargate universe big tits - 13
stargate universe girl with big tits - 6
“stargate universe” “big tits” - 2
big tits on sgu - 2
big tits stargate universe -3
girl with big tits on stargate universe - 1
actress with the huge tits on stargate universe - 1
who is the girl with the big tits on stargate universe? - 1
biggest tits on stargate universe - 1
chick with huge tits on stargate universe - 1
sgu stargate universe big tits - 1
star gate universe big tits - 1
stargate universe huge tits - 1
sgu kills off big tits?- 1
stargate universe chick with huge tits- 1
stargate universe chick with big tits- 5

I can only assume they are looking for pictures of  Julia Benson:

Hmmm. I just realized that due to it’s questionable content, this post will undoubtedly attract more hits from people with nothing better to do than googling for Julia Bensons boobs..
So I might just as well throw in another picture, I’d hate for people to leave here empty handed.

Some other weird searches with only 1 hit

Trekwar sensor system

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I haven’t had much time working on Trekwar lately, but I’ve recently made a prototype of the sensor system:

I’ll have to add this, as well as fog of war when I’m done with the fleet management tools which are almost ready.

Star Trek Online update

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

So, beta is over, and I’ve made it to Commander level (not had much time to play). So far the game is pretty fun, but I’ll reserve judgment until I’ve hit endgame.

So meanwhile I’ll post my two favorite bugs from the beta:

Ground avatar in space instead of spaceship

and of course.. The eyes popping out while doing the dance emote :D

Star Trek Online Open Beta

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Yay, tomorrow Star Trek Online goes into open beta :)

I’ve played around a bit in the closed beta, and so far I’m impressed, the space combat is fun and action packed, and the Ground combat is a bit like World of Warcraft, only more action, more interesting quests (no grinding, while waiting for drops) and the Fleet actions (Large open instances) were pretty awesome :)


I’ll miss my Andorian captain, who was wiped with all the other closed beta characters today:(

We are a way for the universe to know itself

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I’ve been watching lots of Babylon 5 lately, and just realized that a recurring part of Minbari philosophy could be seen as an homage to one of my greatest idols, Carl Sagan. And seeing it’s almost November 9th, which would have been his 75th birthday, I think a post is in order.

Carl_Sagan_Planetary_Society

The Minbari in Babylon 5 believes all life are manifested as a way for the universe to examine every piece of itself. This reminds me of two quotes from Carl:

“We are a way for the universe to know itself”

“We are made of star stuff”

Here’s a great video about the origins of the universe

And why not throw in a few more great quotes (ok, I had a hard time selecting, so it became QUITE a few) :)

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”

“Humans — who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals — have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and ‘animals’ is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them — without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret”

“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it’s forever. “

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”

“The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can’t all be correct”

“For the first time, we have the power to decide the fate of our planet and ourselves. This is a time of great danger, but our species is young, and curious, and brave. It shows much promise.”

“We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads. But to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both.”

“I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.”

“In the vastness of the Cosmos there must be other civilizations far older and more advanced than ours.”

“I worry that, especially as the Millennium edges nearer, pseudo-science and superstition will seem year by year more tempting, the siren song of unreason more sonorous and attractive”

“Credulity kills”

Star Trek Online

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

After years of following the development, Star Trek Online is finally in closed beta, and the game is on track for a early 2010 release :)

The cryptic character creator will allow you to invent new species for the game, and I might go for something like this:
cryptic_ferret

Or if that is not possible my character will be Andorian (assuming this fits well with a tactical/dps character). I’m in the “guild” called “12th fleet”, and we are now the second largest guild on the STO forum. So if you want to play with the pro’s, head over to http://www.12th-fleet.com :)

Virtuality

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

A couple of days ago a pilot for a proposed tv series called ‘Virtuality’ was aired. The guy behind it is no other than Ronald D. More best known for his work on Star Trek and being the genius behind the new Battlestar Galactica series.

virtuality-group-table-6601

The show is about mankinds first voyage outside the solar system to search for life on a distant planet (a 10 year trip). The ship called the phaeton is equipped with a complex virtual reality system, which should prevent the crew from going insane by being stuck 10 years in a metal tube :)

The pilot was very good, and I would LOVE to watch more, unfortunately Fox has not ordered any more episodes, but perhaps if enough people get interested, that will change.

If you live in the US you can watch the pilot at Hulu:
