Domino's Piri piri ad featuring mexicans

Domino’s recently put out an advert featuring a group of guys trying to eat Piri-Piri pizza only to be constantly interrupted by a bunch of musicians. The FAIL here is a cultural one in that the musicians are are supposed to be Portuguese but are dressed as Mexicans!

I agree its a shit advert but the Portuguese colours are red and green so it is culturally correct. Sorry.

@Mark: Just because the colours are correct doesn’t mean it’s right – they’re dressed liked mexicans irrespective of the colours.

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
