It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence if they haven’t spent $30 on a certificate when they want you to fork out $500 for their product.

December 13th, 2009Arch Linux
November 5th, 2009I never managed to solve my original problem with proprietary ATI drivers, but I have open source drivers which support 3D on my card now anyway (well, in theory anyway, I haven’t tested it yet.)
I’m pleasantly surprised by Arch Linux so far, even if I have basically just been following walkthroughs to get the system up and running. It really shows how much bloat you get with typical Linux distributions.
Google Chrome
November 4th, 2009I think that Google Chrome is on the verge of replacing Opera as my browser of choice. The only features I would miss are mouse gestures (really only the back/forward navigation), opening the last active tab when closing a tab and built in content blocking.
Di-rect – Blind For You
October 31st, 2009
This song invokes bittersweet memories for me… at the time, I didn’t understand whether it was shared with me for the positive or negative aspects, but that no longer matters… now it just stands as a landmark to another failure in my life.
Steam Offline Mode
October 24th, 2009It seems to me that somebody dropped the ball with Steam.
If it can’t connect to the Steam network, it offers to start in offline mode. However, it can’t start in offline mode unless it can connect to the Steam network.
Uwe Boll
September 17th, 2009I love the fact that the Uwe Boll article on Wikipedia has a section on financing, answering the question that anybody who has ever seen a film that has has directed – “Who the hell paid to make this crap?”
And if the utilised loophole was closed, how does he still get funding? Put me in contact with these idiots people – I’m sure I could shit out a better film for less than ten million dollars .
You know what I hate more than ads?
June 16th, 2009The smug bastards who post in every discussion where online advertising is even tangentially involved about how they never see any ads due to the wonders of Adblock Plus.
Make me an extension to block those motherfuckers.
Apparently…
March 17th, 2009Apparently I’m solely responsible for the downfall of the British Empire and the current state of the UK economy. I didn’t ask how.
Have You Ever?
January 13th, 2009I know it’s the cover version, but it’s the only version I’ve heard.
Have you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad, you can’t sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don’t come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever?Have you ever been in love, in love so bad?
You’d do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away?
You’d give anything to make them feel the sameHave you ever searched for words to get you in their heart?
But you don’t know what to say and you don’t know where to startHave you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad, you can’t sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don’t come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever?Have you ever found the one you’ve dreamed of all your life?
You’d do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you’ve given your heart to
Only to find the one won’t give their heart to you?Have you ever closed your eyes and dreamed that they were there?
And all you can do is wait for the day that they will careHave you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad, you can’t sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don’t come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever?What do I gotta do to get you in my arms, baby?
What do I gotta say to get to your heart?
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world ’cause, baby, I can’t sleepHave you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad, you can’t sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don’t come out right?
Have you ever?Have you ever loved somebody so much, it makes you cry?
Have you ever needed something so bad, you can’t sleep at night?
Have you ever tried to find the words but they don’t come out right?
Have you ever? Have you ever? Have you ever?

Football Manager 2009 on Windows XP
November 16th, 2008Do you get the error message “This application failed to initalize properly (0xc0150002)” when starting Football Manager 2009 on Windows XP? Chances are that it’s trying to tell you that the .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed. I don’t know whether this an isolated issue or whether it affects all XP installs without the framework, but it’s a problem I’ve come across half a dozen times already.
To resolve it, you can either download the framework here, or run the installation from the program directory (from memory) “C:/Program Files/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/directx/dotnetfx.exe”, substituting the drive letter if necessary.
On a side note, why is it that activation is such a pain on this game? The serial number, instead of being printed in a normal font, is one where you can hardly establish the difference between various characters, and is in dots rather than solid lines.
Then the phone activation, you have to enter 25 (?) characters five times, and then a 7 (?) digit response key a total of 8 times. And I thought Windows activation was a pain.
