Sleep Deprived Geek in Blunderland
Can anyone explain to me what the hell the BBC were thinking when they decided to put the new series on at 6.20pm? I can only assume that it’s because they’re trying to get more kids watching, rather than appealing to the hardcore adult fanbase… still, at least the adults have Torchwood! NB. The pic [...]
I just found this awesome website that lets you make funky ten frame stop motion animations using your webcam. I made a couple, which you’ll see below, however I had to fiddle with my flash settings in order to make it find the webcam build into my macbook. If you use an Apple Laptop such [...]
Well… I knew all this good news was too much to be true. Sadly, my second pet hamster Maxx died peacefully in his sleep sometime today. Maxx has been hanging around far longer than most hamsters usually do, he was three and a half when he died, and sadly starting to go grey and loose [...]
I’ve just upgraded WordPress to the latest version and so far, I’m pretty impressed! I think the think that shocked me most was the new almost-automatic plugin upgrade feature which allows you to upgrade any plugin to the latest version with one click! You can’t get easier than that, and now I have no excuse [...]
Yay – only one month until Grand Theft Auto 4 is released! Naturally, being the ubergeek that I am, I have it on pre-order (and have done for a couple of months!). I’ve been waiting for GTAIV ever since I finished San-Andreas back on my Playstation 2, but the recent news that the new game [...]
Well, I’m dead chuffed – I’ve just received a promotion at work which means that rather than doing the strange shifts that I’m doing at the moment, I will instead be enjoying normal 9 – 5:30 office hours again. I’ve been doing shifts for the last four years that have led to me working until [...]
OK, I’m confused – for the past year or so, the DVLA have been bragging about how they now store all car tax information in their big ole database and will fine you if you’re even a microsecond late to renew your tax. So why is it that even though the information is all stored [...]
I just noticed, that since I installed Aksimet a couple of years back it’s caught over 22,000 spam comments! Jesus, I bet if it weren’t for all the spammers this site wouldn’t get any traffic at all!
Is anyone else fed up of pages on Facebook timing out / not loading / erroring? I seem to have no end of problems with it and I’m getting pissed off. I’ve never been a huge fan anyway, but everyone else uses it so I feel like I sort of have to! Get it sorted [...]
When it’s a FAKE iPod that’s when! Recently my sister purchased an iPod Nano off ebay after failing to get one from local stores due to supply issues (every iPod retailer in her town has been out of stock for ages!). Unfortunately, the iPod broke after a day of arriving, never to work again. So [...]
