Firefox Geolocation, not all that useful

Firefox 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 […]

Microsoft, you are retarded

Microsoft, you are retarded

About 6 months ago, I upgraded my Xbox Live account to a Gold account as I wanted to play some games online – something I don’t do often. I was under the impression that I could just play online for a month, then downgrade my account back to Silver when I was done. I was […]

Publishers encouraging piracy

Publishers encouraging piracy

Today, I bought the game Saints Row 2 on PC. I had played it before on PC, yes, a pirated copy, and thought it was good enough to buy. However, as soon as I got it home, my mind was completely changed. The problem all stems from the fact that this specific game uses the […]

iPhone Tethering

iPhone 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. […]

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 […]

Live 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 […]

Driving: Roundabouts

Driving: 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 […]

Idiot 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 […]

The ACMA Blacklist Leak

The 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 […]

Planes 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 […]
