The Exorcist

Something happened to Carmela. Suddenly she turned green (ehemmmm, more green than usual), then white and finally blue. And started to swear aloud.
Luckily Brownie is a smart calf and figured out it was a demoniac possesion and called Father McCheese, who has a MDA (MDA stands for Masters in Daemon Administration)

The Wrath of Cheesie

Here ends the Pixelized series, and the wandering of our friends around space-time:

The Thinking Turtle

Fourth episode of the series Pixelized (4 out of 5). The last one ended like a Lost episode: something thrilling about to happen. In this case, Cheesie was going to be attacked by a dinosaur approaching from behind. Dinosaur that was seen by Carmela and Brownie, who ran away like scared chickens.

Every Backup has its Day

If you are not a frequent reader, I recommend you to read the two previous episodes (Pixelized, Episode I and Pixelized, Episode II) so you can have more fun with this one.
Desperate Carmela’s attempts to disable the pluging are being fruitless. Don´t think she is clumsy. It is just that spending your life in a labyrinth, switching between pacman addict junkie phase and coward pale blue shadow phase does not let you much spare time to modify scripts. Since there are no advances she started to consider new choices…






Free Will

Previously on Cheesie and Brownie we witnessed the transformation of our frieds. All because Carmela installed her bandwidth compression plugin without having passed proper test plans. Now, all of them are condemmned to show a humilliating look: low resolution and 8 bits color palette. ¿All of them?… no. Somebody seems to be resistant to the plugin effect.

Saving Bandwidth

CiberPrensa published a post (in Spanish) about a book entitled Web 2.0. The book is in Spanish also, don’t expect me to translate it for free ;)
One of the things remarked in the post is that, according to the book authors, the amazing increase of offered services (i.e. YouTube) and users habits might lead to a collapse of the Internet (You know, infrastructures are not ready to handle so much traffic, etc)
Carmela, Cheesie and Brownie are concerned and decided to contribute to avoid this scaring future….

Living with a Monster

Previously, on Cheesie and Brownie: It was unveiled that Cookie Moster moved to Cheesie and Brownie´s. Up to now, no co-existence issues. Well, ignoring the fact that the Monster´s addiction to cookies impelled him to eat part of the expensive hardware of the calves.But after a few quiet days, something strange is happening...

Generating Cookies



The lovely Cookie Monster. You may be wondering why is he living with us. He moved in for a while due to an educational interchange with Sesame University. Next question you may be about to ask: If this is an interchange, who went there istead of Cookie Monster?; That won’t be unveiled until the next strip.

Quixote 2.0

It is well known that Don Quixote became obsessed with chivalry novels. I wonder what would have happened had he lived in another age. During the first decade of 21st century, for example, when Web 2.0 rules. Would he see everywhere dragons, wise wizards and fighting armies?
Cheesie and Brownie volunteered to perform Don Cheexote and his loyal squire Browncho in order to show us what would have happened in that case:


Recursivity

A few days ago I found a nice application, an online comic strip generator. You no longer need to have drawing skills in order to represent all those funny ideas that sparkle among neurons. Just drag and drop the elemnts and characters into the frame and add the text bubbles. Looks easy, right? At least easier than having the stuffed animals posing in front of the camera, but this is so funny….
This is what happened yesterday after giving Brownie the link:


The Great Escape, part II



The Great Escape, part I


(*) Miss Pacman: Everybody in the line, kids! Don’t cross untill all the cars have stopped

(*) Professor Blinky: … and finally, Mr Morghost, let me show you the Balrogs. They are ideal for independent and confident Dark Ainu of nowadays. The burning whip is fab, my dear!
(**) Morghost: OK, I want 300 Balrogs and 10 of those called… Ratzinger? The ones that launch the fists and have a driver inside.

I am Geekier than Thou
