Internet Explorer Users

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Firstly, let me get one thing settled. You are using the wrong web browser. You should be using the correct web browser (Mozilla Firefox).
Interesting thing happened recently. Since Microsoft’s Internet Explorer does not comply to website rendering standards it causes a malformation of the layout on my page. This has occurred ever since I added [...]

Declaration To Implement Unconventional Continuous Emendation Of Topmost Conception

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

Basically, I’ve made a decision to change the website logo at the top of all my pages my occasionally and if you understood this from the pointlessly complex title of this post, then I congratulate you with a merit point and small sticker with smiley face upon it.
Another note: The e-mail address at the top [...]

My Music

With help from the last.fm service (which I highly recommend you join if you listen to music at all on your computer) I have added a ‘My Music’ section to the side-bar on my website. Look to the right people!

Monday, March 20th, 2006

Symantec recently released an update for their consumer antivirus software that blocked AOL users from connecting to their ISP. The first thing Symantec (previously Norton) has got right.
“Security firm Symantec was rushing to reassure irate AOL users at the end of last week after the Intrusion Detection signature that was loaded with the latest update [...]

Intel Chips in Macs… Windows on Macs…

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

Now, Intel has released their microprocessors on Macs. The results will no doubt be humourous. Already someone has predicted the future in this ‘interesting’ reproduction of the official ‘Intel on Mac’ advertisement. Watch it right to the end, it’s a great laugh.
Also, ‘hackers’ (as they have been called in so many news articles) have managed [...]

DivineOmega Productions

Saturday, March 18th, 2006

I received confirmation of a threat against the almighty DivineOmega, and indeed DivineOmega Productions (the creator of the EVE Online video, and many more to come). It seems an evil foe has attempted to copyright this name as their own.

Person 2: No! It might be booby-trapped!
Person 1: That’s alright, I like boobies!
Person 2: Good point. Go for it.
Person 1 takes the jewel, but is then struck down by a blowdart.
Person 1: Hey!? This isn’t boobies!!!
Person [...]
