All Your Base..

First day back from snowboarding and I’m back into the thick of IT drudgery..

I happened to need to check something out on the Sun website..

Notice anything funny about that ?

Hmm, seems it redirected to www.oracle.com – scary how quick that happened.

Reminds me of this..

Don’t understand ? read this





The Godfather of Both Kinds of Music

14 01 2010

I heard this song on Radio 2 tonight and it made me chuckle.. I’d never heard of him before, but apparently (according to the good old WWW) he is a legend.. who am I to argue ?





Who gives a $4!t ?

Honestly, I mean, who really cares whether they said the ‘F’ word on Radio ??

I couldn’t care less, I really couldn’t.. Those words and words like it, are part of the robust and vibrant english language. Sometimes there is no other word appropriate for the sentiment you wish to convey. Given the subject matter and the underlying anger behind the song and the time & place it was written, I cannot see how any other word could take it’s place.

I haven’t bought this song, because I already own it, but I agree with the sentiment of the campaign to get it to No.1 for Christmas. Not because I particularly think this song should be No.1 but because I too am sick of the puerile stream of mire that spews from the progeny of Simon Cowell and his pointless money making machine that is X-Factor. A creation which was created only to serve one purpose, and that is to make money for Mr Cowell. I wish him luck in that venture, but I wish I did not have to suffer so in the process of his wealth creation.





Now thats impressive !

iPhone is back

19 11 2009

Praise be and all that..

I finally plucked up the courage to upgrade my iPhone to v3 and immediately regretted it.. The upgrade worked but the subsequent jailbreak and crack did not.

It took me until the other night to solve the problem.. I was surprised how much I missed the damn thing.

The problem related to the latest release of ultrasn0w and not (as I’d assumed) my erroneous use of the Cydia utilities

Anyway, normal service is resumed now and hopefully I won’t have to upgrade again before a vodafone iPhone is available..
