The lost Amazon tribe clearly broke the rules of engagement last week as they fired weapons at a reconnaissance plane. It was a clear violation of the Geneva Convention and yet our world leaders stay silent. I am very disappointed. There are clearly giga litres of oil buried under their huts and we are letting these terrorists just sit on it.

I went on Google maps to inspect their village and it all became clear. The dudes who are painted orange are the ones who are doing the drilling and wearing the safety Hi Vis gear while the dudes who are all black are the poor niffs who have to go in a cap a new found well. We must invade and lower oil prices…..

Yes, yet another solution provided by notasmartman.com.

Not sure if everyone is aware of it as I am still finding people who have never used it…… But for the uninitiated I can confirm Google maps is awesome. You can zoom in on the majority of the world in either satellite view or map view. Satellite view is good for interest sake and map view is an excellent resource to determine your route. You can even put in where you are and where you want to go and the good people at google maps will tell you how to get there.

I recently purchased a Play Station 3. I gotto tell you, a big improvement is the wireless controllers good work Sony.

The other thing you can do is set the unit up to connect to your wireless internet router which is good darts too. This was a bit of a muck around however and I found that I had to set the PS3 up as a DMZ (de militarised zone?) which isn’t awesome but I managed to get it working. I also had to turn off the MAC Address filtering protection from my router, which also isn’t the best. If anyone out there knows how to find the PS3’s MAC Address I will be happy to hear it.

Games I have purchased are (should keep me busy for ages)

Grand Theft Auto 4
Pretty good so far, I like shooting random innocent people. Is that wrong? I am finding it hard to resist this activity, especially when you brush past someone in the street and they give you attitude, I like to pull out the knife or pistol and give them a pizzling.

Grand Turismo 5
I have like all of this franchise. Still getting the hang of it. I gave the on-line racing a try on Saturday and it was ok. Not sure if you can choose to race friends at this point but hopefully this feature exists

Fight Night 3
The controls are all different from PS1 days, so still figuring it out. I have managed to knock all my opponents down but seem to lose the fights via TKO which is confusing if you have not been knocked down yourself.

NHL 2008
Again all different controls so getting used to it. The fights between players who have a bit of niggle is cool. As I write this I realise that the last Ice Hockey game I purchased was NHL breakaway 98 for the PS1 so this marks a ten year upgrade, not bad really.

Virtual Fighter 5
Got dominated by a friend first game. Is at bottom of shelf gathering dust until a worse player challenges me. Are any of you guys computer game gumbies?
