Long story short, I’ve been meaning to upload my entire collection for ages, but kept getting put off at the idea of uploading 360MB+ worth of files. I finally got around to doing it, and you can find them all here. Enjoy

Didn’t think this would actually work (click for larger):

A new science show (lawl) called “The Universe”. If you’re like me, and are interested in the way the universe and planets works, this show is for you!

They have some cool animation as well, which is a nice touch I only found out about this show recently, but its nothing I can’t catch up on .

I r 20 today, but I’m not in a celebrating mood, this month has been completely shit, starting with the murder of my bro-in-law and ending with today when I thought my car tires had been slashes. Some chavs it seems went on a slashing spree. Luckily my car was not on the road where they did they slashing, but my neighbors weren’t so lucky, all 4 tires of their car was slashed.

I got bored of the old name, and finally decided to change the site to a new one. Anyone requesting resources from old domain will be forwarded automatically to this one (with a little magic from .htaccess ). Everything is still intact, gallery, dev site, etc, etc.

Not really much to say, I downloaded only one episode of Top Gear, since Spooks wasn’t available lol. I read about FairUse4WM being able to strip the DRM from it, so first I tried playing it in WMP 11, it worked fine, then I tried it in VLC, and it came out all distorted.

I then downloaded FairUse4WM (for testing only ), and stripped the DRM from the downloaded episode, it only took around a minute, and Volia!!!!, it worked in VLC.

Anyway, I don’t plan on keeping the episode, I’m gonna watch it and delete it anyway, just as the BBC intended, but the only after when I feel bothered to watch it.

They tell you the first time you *open* the video, the clock starts ticking for the countdown to deletion after 7 days, which is alright, but it can be problematic if you don’t have time to watch it.

Another annoying thing is you *have* to use IE to log into the beta section, otherwise it throws an error , it took me a good 5 mins wandering why I couldn’t log in.

After a year of having a driving license, I got my first car, a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 T reg Manual . I got it 2nd hand ‘cos I can’t afford a new car and insurance for it would be sky high lol. Anyway, my driving skills are a bit dodgy after not driving for a year, especially reverse parking >.< I kept hitting the pavement when parking lol.

Got my insurance done, thanks god for Pass Plus, saved me a nice £200 There are some pics of the car the seller took for me, you can find them here, I might take some pics after I cleaned it up a bit lol.

I pre-ordered my copy of the new book, and I finished reading it today. My work shift was cancelled (by them ), so I just read it all day I loved the storyline, but I did think the ending could have been nicely done, stuff like Harry talking to Dumbledore was a bit wtf-ish.

It did clear up a lot of things though, like whose side Snape was on, and the truth about the scar, and what the final Horcrux is.

After I finished reading it, I checked a few spoiler sites, and after reading some, I finally got to appreciated the subtle hints J.K put in all the previous books, things I didn’t even realize that could mean a lot more then meets the eye, the lack of a word in a sentence which could have a double meaning to it, like Dumbledore saying “please…” to Snape on the tower instead of “please don’t”….., and his body rising before falling to his death

Kinda sad for it all to finish

I’ve got 8 Pownce invites left. If anyone is interested, leave a comment with your email address.

On a non-Pownce related topic, my results for first year at uni have been confirmed, I scrapped a pass

I’ve usually visit Digg daily to get tech news, and for a while I’ve been using a mobile version of Digg.com, provided by Mobits.com, but formatted by Google for my pda.The actual Mobits version of Digg forces you to visit the actual digg page with comments and stuff to get the source url, which obviously isn’t a good idea for a pda (downloading and formatting 100s of comments), unless you format the page with Google, which can be annoying.

Now I’ve known about the Digg APIs for a while, but I didn’t really bother with it, but I finally decided to make my own version of Digg mobile, formatted to the way I like it, and I thought this would be interesting project, and I could pick up a few new leet PHP skillz skills along the way. Anyway, you can find the finished product here: http://www.zer0day.com/diggmobile (Thx to Bma for the design )

Atm, it only has support for All, Tech and World categories, and I don’t have plans to add anymore, but if people use it, then I probably will.
