Got Facebook? See you in court.

admin — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:49:42 +0000

That’s right. It’s now de rigueur to receive a court summons via Facefuck.

Glad you signed up with your real name now?

If you were planning on being famous, or doing something illegal, I’d suggest you find a less invasive form of communication than what is essentially a rather obese spyware app.

Australian court allows legal documents to be sent via Facebook

The Future of Music… Is Nigh

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:15:11 +0000

I hope these services don’t go the same way as Pandora.

Lala seems nice, but is US only. Fuck that.

Spool.fm doesn’t seem to have loads of music on there, but has a nice playlist thingy.

The clear winner for obscure electronic music is surely Deezer.

Install that, and Apple Bonjour and you are good to access your home iTunes/music library from work.
Pretty sweet, considering I now work with someone who is super loud.

Haxored

Yes, I got haxored by some leet tard. Every page on every site has some spam code for Viagra or some shit. Back to normal soon.

Photosynth Tech Preview

admin — Sun, 25 May 2008 06:28:53 +0000

Microsoft has again acquired someone else’s bleeding edge technology and made it their own. Photosynth is something like a hyper 3d Google Earth. One can only speculate on how this will change the face of pornography, amongst other things.

I’ve added you as a friend on…

admin — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 07:11:55 +0000

Facebook, Stumble Upon, Flixster, Twitter, Hi 5…

You know what… I’m old school. Give me YouTube and a blog and that’s all the time I want to spend in front of computer when I’m not at work or doing something with musics. The allure of signing up to social networking sites is lost on me. I have a myspace, I should know.

This, from Facebook: “We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services and other users of Facebook, to supplement your profile.”

Fuck that.

Flash is a Piece of Shit

admin — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 08:02:50 +0000

Stupid me decided to dust off my Flash installation to use for this Noir site for uni… and here I am trying to make simple fucking gotoandplay() links… and it ain’t happening. So after wasting 5 hours last night on it… I Googled and found this on the macromedia site:

“The gotoAndPlay and gotoAndStop functions, using a variable or expression for the frame, will go to the WRONG FRAME if you use any scenes and do any rearranging of scene order.”

Well that’s fucking useful isn’t it? Where’s the update? How many plebs has this got the better of? Large software companies can bite a dick…

CSS is shit…

admin — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 13:07:11 +0000

…just look at this mangled this blog, fuck knows how that happened… and as if I could be bothered to fix it…

Stupid Windows

Google indexes the strangest shit on this blawg.

13.33% of my traffic comes from people googling:
“meth freaks”

Benchmark Lusers…

Loud computers vs. framerates.

The sad plight of people who don’t understand that these days, the easiest way speed up a computer is to spend more money. “Word”.

An Introduction to Google

admin — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:10:15 +0000

This is another post where I can give people a URL rather than explain shit to them, or argue with them.
It’s the Internet, don’t believe anything – but these sites are a good starting point for people who can’t seem to understand Google is a corporation. The C word. It’s dirty isn’t it.

We are talking about a company with a currently listed share price of USD$416.38 (on the NASDAQ)

What does this mean to you?

My Work

admin — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 09:12:27 +0000

People often ask what I do.
Sometimes I find it hard to describe, so here is a helpful piece of msn art from Stev that should clear things up.

I would be over the right hand side of the diagram, with money to the far left: and nothing but vast expanses of Internet and nerds between us.

Steve Jobs Poses

Macworld Bloopers

admin — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 11:57:08 +0000

Not to be outdone by all these Windows Vista re-edits, some Microsoft-head has gone out and compiled a montage of ‘my nigga’ Stevie J. looking stupid, demo’ing beta (?) Mac stuff. A multi-billionaire can only look so stupid demo’ing his next billion dollar product. Bill Gates looks stupid regardless.
Nice try.

Stupid Windows Messages

Then WTF is displaying this dialogue box?

This just appeared on my machine… Seriously.

Windows Vista Ripping off MacOsX – More Hacked Microsoft Keynote Videos

admin — Mon, 20 Mar 2006 03:12:56 +0000

Praying on Windows users total ignorance of MacOsX. It’s not just because they don’t use macs – it only bothers me when Wintel people don’t comprehend there is more to computing then a pretty looking OS.

Well, that sounds like Mac users.

Did I think that was funny? I didn’t sleep last night, what I say isn’t funny and I have just been Alt-Tabbing (Option-Tabbing whatever) for 3 continuous minutes for no reason, other than I am entirely vacant, with little inspiration for the day – prospects of hibernation notwithstanding. Click the link. Be moderately amused.

One Laptop Per Child

admin — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 12:09:59 +0000

Nice sounding utopian bullshit: “Our goal: to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves”.
What does this mean? An entire generation of myspace camwhores? Africans with wind-up 486′s?

Apple Tech Support Calls

admin — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 11:42:21 +0000

How it was before call centres. This is when the geeks helped you out first hand. Or when you abused the geeks, first hand. Some of these calls are pretty funny. I know, of course they fucking are or I wouldn’t link to them.
And yeah so I’m blogging all this ‘old’ funny shit…
Deal with it if you have already seen any of this stuff…
