Flash back to the 90′s
by poedgirl on 23/06/10 at 11:35 am
One thing that has been really annoying me lately is the sheer amount of ads on websites that use flash animations. Seriously, it makes websites look like they’re from the 90′s with the amount of animating crap on them. Several sites that I visit often have decided to place 4 (some sites more) ad spots [...]
Full StoryiPhone Tethering
As many Australians may already know, some unscrupulous carriers are daring to charge their customers to allow tethering on their iPhones. This is just pathetic on their part and to combat this, I have made some carrier files that you can import into your iPhone and enable tethering and MMS without paying their exorbitant fees. [...]
Full Storysmarthouse.com.au against free speech?
When I posted a comment on a smarthouse.com.au article criticising the writer’s views. I expected it to be accepted and the writer would comment on it. However, instead of doing the right thing and accepting it, they quite simply blocked it. Therefore stifling any attempt at adding any sort of criticism to the article. At [...]
Full StoryLive Mesh Remote Desktop
I just have one thing to say about Live Mesh Remote Desktop. It’s retarded. What kind of an idiot developer would make screen updates a higher priority than click events? I’m at work right as I write this post and I’m trying to access my home PC. I just happened to have a website open [...]
Full StoryDriving: Roundabouts
On my way to work this morning, I was caught behind a complete moron. Not only did he constantly break at random times (with no-one in front of him and going 10km/h below the speed limit), but he completely failed to navigate two roundabouts. Roundabouts are one of my biggest pet peeves with driving in [...]
Full StoryIdiot Clients
For those of you who know me, you’d know I work as an Application Development Manager for a software company. We recently released a new update that allowed email functionality from directly within the application. In order for users to take advantage of this functionality, they need to set up their From email address in [...]
Full StoryThe ACMA Blacklist Leak
After reading about the ACMA blacklist leak (and inspecting it myself – no, I won’t link to it as this blog is hosted in Australia and I could face $11,000 fines per day), it seems pretty obvious to me that despite what Senator Stephen Conroy says, it is in fact the ACMA blacklist. Just think [...]
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 [...]
Full StoryDriving: Introduction
A main part of this blog will deal with my rants about driving. They won’t be about driving in general, but about people who just fail driving completely. I personally like driving, as long as the other people on the road actually know how to drive. I just thought I’d start out here by outlining [...]
Full StoryDailyMotion spammers
Why are there so many idiots on DailyMotion.com? I personally just signed up to view some videos that required age verification. Shortly after signing up, I started getting friend requests from random women. Every one of these women were pretty attractive and every single one had a URL to a porn site – normally the [...]
