How to use Gotify with Healthchecks.io

Healthchecks is a site that acts like a dead man’s switch. It does nothing if everything is OK, and tells you if it isn’t.

September 08 - 19:00 UTC

How to use Gotify with Uptime Robot

Uptime Robot is a decent service that checks websites to see if they are up. If they go down, you get notified.

How to use Gotify with ZNC

Gotify is a great way to send notifications to your phone from loads of applications. Here is how to get ZNC to send you a ping when someone messages you on IRC.

September 05 - 09:30 UTC

Long, but still funny, and one of the better spy comedies out there.

September 01 - 15:00 UTC

Blinded by the Light

An Asian kid from Luton finds solace from his humdrum life in the works of Bruce Springsteen.

August 30 - 21:00 UTC

Take 2: Terminator 2: Judgement Day

One of the greatest sequels of all time (from the master of sequels…).

August 29 - 22:00 UTC

Take 2: The Terminator

This was shown as a double-bill with Terminator 2 by the great people at The Light cinema Sheffield. Some people only showed up for the sequel. They are morons.

August 29 - 17:00 UTC

A movie star and his stuntman teeter on the verge of obsolescence in 60s Hollywood.

August 26 - 13:00 UTC

Take 2: In the Loop

A relentless avalanche of insults and frantically trying to arrange meetings.

August 18 - 20:00 UTC

Take 2: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

The Robert Downey Jr revival that led to Iron Man. The two films could not be further apart but it’s clear to see how his easy confidence and sharp comic timing made him the best man to lead up the Marvel Universe.

August 18 - 17:00 UTC

Take 2: Sideways

Paul Giamatti is so good in this it’s hard to believe he is anything other than a neurotic wine lover/bore.

August 17 - 20:00 UTC

Take 2: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Another brilliant piece of work that was largely misunderstood on its release, now regarded as one of the great comedies of the 2000s.

August 17 - 14:00 UTC

Take 2: Wet Hot American Summer

A misunderstood gem that bombed when it came out, but has since spawned two seasons of a TV show starring its original cast. Funny how the world works.

August 16 - 20:00 UTC

Take 2: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

This one will always have a special place in my heart. The first Coen Brothers film I ever saw, and one of those that at an early age made me realise that movies can be more than just Batman.

August 11 - 11:00 UTC

Take 2: Office Space

OK so I watched this last year. On our comedy time travel trip (I should really come up with a name for it) I’ve been skipping over stuff I watched not that long ago but I’ve always got time for Office Space.

August 08 - 19:00 UTC

Take 2: Galaxy Quest

A masterclass in casting.

August 07 - 21:00 UTC

Take 2: Election

Alexander Payne loves shitting on his characters to a point where they are beyond redemption. Reese Witherspoon plays a lead so irritating and smug that you could almost call it a brave performance. Matthew Broderick plays her teacher, who through sheer dislike of her tries to rig a school election to prevent her from winning.

August 06 - 20:00 UTC

Take 2: Rushmore

I love that Dirk Calloway is the smartest person in this film.

August 05 - 19:00 UTC

Take 2: The Big Lebowski

Again our trip through comedy history takes us past favourites we’d be foolish not to watch again, man.

August 04 - 20:00 UTC

One of the greatest films ever made? You betcha!
