Lack of respect for fellow hackers
When I was first learning how to crack and patch apps, most of the people who I came across generally respected the skills of someone who can make a tool which makes their lives much easier. That is until I decided to release one of those tools. For the past few months on and off [...]
Full StoryCentrafuse 3.0
As many of you would already know, I have a computer in my car. The interface I use regularly is called Centrafuse, and they recently released version 3.0.

I really don’t understand what kind of sense it makes having the comments in reverse chronological order, i.e. latest to earliest. Most comments on blog posts are either replies to another comment or reference something said in an earlier one. For [...]
Full StoryFirefox Geolocation, not all that useful
Today, I decided to test out a new feature of Mozilla Firefox 3.5, the Geolocation system. Now, I have to say, using a mobile phone with Google’s Location Services is actually pretty accurate – within a few hundred metres. But it would appear it is not the same for fixed connections. Even when connected via [...]
Full StoryPlanes in GTA IV
Recently I started doing some modding work on GTA IV. Plenty of people were complaining that there were no planes in the game, so I decided to do some research into it. It seems that Rockstar left the code from San Andreas for flying planes in the game, it’s just disabled as there are no [...]
