Catch up Friday 18 March 2005
What has happened since the daily cow got lost and was then quickly reoverd as was not hidden afterall:
St. Patricks day. Did anyone dress up in green?
Sadly Jemilly's Grandma died in a car crash. Our thoughts are with you Jemilly.
Work has started on some new cogs and gears that drive cow in the background. "I belive this will cause any visual strangness to go away, especially when moving around afer operating heavy machinery like elevators and the Tardis" said wolis in a hopeful way. be prepared, however, for some minor inconveniences as commands get updated in a slow and laborious way.
Talking of robots, we have had a few new users log in recently and one asked what the others were probably thinking "What is cow about?". Well this reporter has no idea so if anyone has any suggestions as to how this question can be answered, please use the new room in the library 'Explanation room'.
lets do the timewarp again Sunday 6 March 2005
Many law abaiding COW citizens have been sucked into portals of time and possibly space.
I have arranged an interview with xiii, our latest victim.
Josh: so xiii what actually happned?
xiii: There I was minding my own buisness and I am sucked into 1945 Japan. It was horrific, I forgot my toothbrush.
Josh: So about this tothbrush, is it made of wood?
xiii: No. To tell you the truth it is made out of plastic and so are the bristles.
Josh: Amazing!
There seems to be no way to fix this but apparently there is. Wolis managed to tell us brief description of what he was doing as he stitched up the large hole in space and time.
"I am stitching up the hole in space and time,"
Isn't he smart!
Postman works in record time Sunday 27 Feb 2005
Finally the postman is back on the job, delivering mail as usual. For all you curious ppl out there, he was asked to deliver some tape records and mp3 players - all state of the art equipment - but he got a bit distracted by their flashing lights and translucent plactic casings.
After several rounds of heavy negotiations, wolis finally agreed to deiver these items personally. The postman does not appear to be so distracted and will continue working as efficiently as normal.
If you are planning on posting some complex state of the art technology I suggest you hand deliver it for now - or wait for the new Speedy Courier Service which plans to open for business shortly.. I hear they plan to charge for their services but Im sure it will be worth every penny.
Holiday season Saturday 26 Feb 2005
Well it must be that time of year where everyone is kicking up their heals, relaxing in the sun and generally having long earned breaks.
It seems like the postman has taken a small holiday too (maybe just in his own mind rather than a physical holiday) as he is refusing to deliver any mail.
We think maybe a brief trip to the hospital where trained doctors can help focus his mind and get him back on the job.
We wish you a speedy recovery postman!
Strangly, yet pleasingly all of the postmans assistants are working as promptly as always.. thanks guys.
This does mean you will have to check out the post office every now and then to see if there is any mail hanging around for you.
Talking of speedy things, have you noticed how slow the new waiter is in the cafe?
A Long Rest Thursday 24 Feb 2005
Jemilly, The long awaited resident of COW, Is taking a long well deserved Holiday to The Island. If You see her say Hello! or Push her!
Feeling sleepy? Wednesday 23 Feb 2005
For all your tied and exhausted citizens of cow, you can now sleep in comfort and style with the new 'logoff' command. "it has been purpose built to help you and your fellow cowers know exactly when you are too sleepy to type any more" said wolis as he was just about to hit the hay himeself.
World Domination Wednesday 23 Feb 2005
On Wednesday 30th World Domination will take place. Prepare to be exploded in a large pile of dust when Josh and World dominator team up to Kill Kill Kill!! It will not be event to miss. If you wish to join the team of EVIL!! come to the yellow house at 4:00 COW time on the 20th. We have many weapins and plan on making an evil giant man eating teddy bear to do most of our dirty work. If you know stuff about mechanics it would be most appreciated cos at the moment the giant teddy does nothing but look cute with its fluffyness and large butchers knife it holds. If you know how to raise the dead feel free to come along even if you are just there to program them to attack us. (It would still be really cool. Honestly...)
meeting 30th Febuary 2005 in the Yellow house in the mountains
Postman sees all Tuesday 22 Feb 2005
The postman has started jotting down notes while he waits for something to do. When quizzed about this new behaviour he said "I dont know much but I get a tingling sensation in my toes - this tells me when someone has woken up.". The postman showed off his new notebook and said "everything I know I write down in here".
While we are on the subject of writting things down, I fear the growing need for polls will have to be handled in a more syetematic, dare I say cow-o-matic way. I asked wolis if he had plans to formalise these adhoc polls. He could only mumble through a thick pile of code "oh.. ah.. yeah.. sometime.. soonish.. and yellow.. or maybe blue.. hmmm".
wolis appears to be up to his eye-balls in a suble almost inperceivable change the whole fabric of cowspace as we know it. Lets hope he knows what he is doing.

they may be dead but they still are fun Monday 21 Feb 2005
You may have noticed a few civillians around COW who do absolutely nothing. An expert team of constructionist are planning to reanimate them so they will respond to movement, creation and possibly they might even read thoughts.
The team are pretty sure about their equasions and soon even the dead will become amusing!
Incredible: French COWilian sent his doggy-doggy to be taught in USA Sunday 20 Feb 2005
"It came back after 7 month, speaking fluent english, reconizing furnitures, understanding musical expression, and having a deep knowledge of human psychics" said interviewed Abdulh Nezrod le Noir, a bit unhinged. Obviously the mental structures of the examined dog have been totaly restructured. Could we do the same to with our dear Nezrod? Only one thing couldn't be enhanced, It still wofs some time. When asking the dog what is its best wish, we were surprised to hear "Purchase a new mobile by my friend Bluey!".
When in doubt buy a telephone Sunday 20 Feb 2005
We have gained confirmation from an unreliable resource, that COWvilians will be getting a new telephone system installed. You will be able to obtain these phones from a new shop in the mall. Just to make this short article slightly longer we have an interview with the manager, Bluey McPhluey.
Josh: Bluey McPhluey is it true that you will be running the telephone shop?
Bluey: Yes
Josh: did it ever occur to you that COW does not have a telephone system already?
Bluey: Yes
Josh: Were you the person who thought of this brilliant idea?
Bluey: Yes
Josh: Are you quite alright Bluey?
Bluey: Yes
Josh: thankyou for your time
Bluey: Yes
New Internationnal Environment and Treaty and Special Species Protection Friday 18 Feb 2005
Accordingly with the Kyoto's Environment Treaty, French government decided to encourage countries which didn't ratify this agreement. "Deciding to deliver a moratory to stop the little frogs gastronomy should show to the reticent countries the good will of old Europe" said President Chirac. In the same time, an special doggydoggy chapter should be added to the actually processed spelling reform. "Too bad" said interviewed XiXi la PraLinZ, "Ok for the little frogs, but now, if all the dogs begin to wof in a woofish maner, what would become of us?" no doubt that the french government decisions don't only make happy people.
COWvilians Friday 18 Feb 2005
Due to a recent survey completed by selected bunch of individuals, COW is becoming too crowded. The yellow wizard, wolis plans to take action and out top reporters (Josh and Jemilly) tagged along to get some goss.
Here is our exclusive interview:
Josh: So wolis how exactly are you going to get rid of all of these useless objects? What about if someone notices their house is just missing one day when they wake up?
wolis: I a going to stop people from making more objects rather than deleting everything.
Jemilly: I was thinking of owning a antique store, what are your thoughts on the matter?
wois: I think antiques aew brilliant but why are you bringing that up at a time like this?
Jemilly: Hypothetically, if I were to buy you a frog on your birthday what would your responce be?
Wolis: I love frogs!
Josh: There you have it devoted readers, what you all came here for. Wolis loves frogs. Read the daily COW next week for an exclsive on xiii's new puppies. Where is he etting them from? and why do they say wof instead of woof. All in next weeks edition of THE DAILY COW!!

Astranomical Breakthrough Thursday 17 Feb 2005
An new planet has recently been found and founded by Josh. it has been named X-Maar and is already been inhabited by a group of tribal people.
There is also ghost town perfect for starting a buisness or decorating with festive party
balloons.
"oooohh.... do not come here or you will DIE!!" says one of the ghosts but it is expected that they exaggerate and should not be taken seriously fellow Daily COW readers.
Be sure to stick around for next weeks special "a life in a COW"
Fugitive on the loose wednesday 16 Feb 2005
A prisoner, who has until recently been kept in the downtown jail, has escaped. He has been spotted at Jemilly's house (if you are reading this then you would know from that Jemilly won COW Idol and is the best singer in the universe!!!), the pub and other various places around the cow universe.
He was put in jail for stealing jewllery and has been known to drop some as he dashes away from the public eye.
"When I saw him, he dropped a diamond ring which I used to propose to my wife," said constable Josh who was on duty on the time of the breakout.
If you happen to see this wanted man please tell the police or another authority figure.

Love is not in the air Monday 14 Feb 2005
A shock amount of love letters have gone through the post office today, and the shocking amount is none, zilch, zip, nada, zero and all those other crazy sayings referring to the number of which I shall not mention. the shocked (but dazed and sleepy) Postman of the cow post office had this to say ' *yawn* well as you can see I haven't had much work to day and on all the other virtual worlds this would be the busiest day on the post office scale. So as you can see I am slightly displeased'. The shocking low is a new record, for cow as it the only record. That is all, tune in tomorrow for another exciting instalment of the Jemilly week!
A Memeber Count Since Day 1 Saturday 12 Feb 2005
Today I was a bit bored so I decided to count the members of COW. The results were as follows:
there are currently SIXTY-FIVE I repeat 65 members in cow!I this was counted using a system of very boring exploration! this was counted by Jemilly and was written by Jemilly and that's about it.this was including all the people I could find, and the people in the lost property box.
Building Approval for Healing Friday 11 Feb 2005
Today building approval for a new hospital in cow was granted to an undisclosed Multi-National Corporation for a fresh new hosplital.
"We have gret plans to heal all ills both physical and mental" stated a spoksperson from the Multi-National Corporation.
The site earmarked for development is the vacant second floor of the skyscraper. No doubt such a large project will need to draw on tallents of many contractors.
As yet the Multi-National has refused to disclose the building costs but they are rumoured to be in the billions.

Improvments at the Post Office Friday 04 Feb 2005
The Post Office is trialing a new service. With the help of a few assistants, the post Office has made it possible for anyone to send letters quickly without having to go there in person.
"It is a great new service" said the postman, "even though our assistants are a little bit scary". The postman refused to tell us how much the assistants are being paid but it is rumored to be quite alot as they are very efficient.
Some New Players Tuesday 01 Feb 2005
Welcome to all the new players who have been logging on recently. We hope you enjoy your stay in cow and that you feel adventerous enough to create things.
One player who has been quite active and creative recently is Jemilly. One of her recent creations is a city dump (you will find it in the old town down the cobbled road to the north). Here you can drop old items you dont want or scavange around and find that special nick-nack.
That ugly sign Tuesday 01 Feb 2005
"That ugly advertising sign has to go" demanded the gardener of the open field. "I work my fingers to the bone keeping this place nice and neat and what thanks do I get? an big green sign to maintain as well!"
The disgruntled gardener pleased with wolis to remove it and with the rest of the cow community to keep the open field clean.
"People arriving for the first time dont want to be bamboozled with objects.. and the open field is the place thay always come to when they first arrive" beseached the gardener.
So if you are planning on building that special castle or that prinstine beach, concider going for a wander and finding a suitable place to build it.
New Post Office now open fur business Sunday 30 Jan 2005
