CSI: Miami, where the receptionist completely reprogrammes the Web
Watched bits if CSI: Miami last night (Neil’s excuse for watching it every week: “It’s so bad, it’s good.”). The episode was called Silencer, where two people were shot with (wait for it) a silenced weapon, and part of the case was solved through the decoding of an unofficial company bloog (note to producers: ‘blog’ does not equal ‘blog posts’).
It’s amazing how this receptionist could programme her bloog script so that it looks completely different from any other bloog out there — it looked more like a CD-ROM application. Unless she has l33t Flash skillz and is completely wasted working as the boss’ PA (and why the fuck would anyone write a bloog in Flash). Also the design was worse (although I could barely believe it) than the interfaces designed in Hackers. Hello, 1995.
Hackers was actually more believable than this episode.
Have you noticed that Horatio is a dirty old man and doesn’t actually appear to do any forensic work? He just makes cryptic, stupid statements and wears his sunnies indoors.

Mmmm, Emily Proctor, oooh agggggh….
Eh, who? I don’t even pay attention to the character names. Except Horatio. Because his name is longer than most of his lines.
She plays the perky blond weapons expert Calleigh Duquesne. The first character she played where I noticed her acting over her looks was Ainsley Hayes in the series West Wing, the lawyer that got stuck in the basement. I spelled her name wrong so I guess I can’t be that much of a fan.
Was she the Republican lawyer? I remember that character. Didn’t recognise her.
Yeah.
He is an Englishman!
He is an Englishman!
For he himself has said it,
And it’s greatly to his credit,
That he is an Englishman!
That he is an Englishman!
For he might have been a Roosian,
A French, or Turk, or Proosian,
Or perhaps Itali-an!
Or perhaps Itali-an!
But in spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishman!
He remains an Englishman!
For in spite of all temptations
To belong to other nations,
He remains an Englishman!
He remains an Englishman!
So did he remain an englishman?
I did a Horatio then… as I asked this question, I turned to one side, looked down my nose, over my sunglasses (I’m inside and it’s 7:30pm here in Sydney as I write this).
