iTunes error

June 21st, 2010

An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-402620402)

Wow, thanks Apple. That’s a really descriptive error message. What does it mean? “New iPhone out, time to upgrade!”?

thejoojoo.com using free SSL?

December 13th, 2009

It looks like thejoojoo.com site is using a free SSL certificate issued by Comodo.

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.

Arch Linux

November 5th, 2009

I 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, 2009

I 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, 2009

It 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, 2009

I 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, 2009

The 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, 2009

Apparently 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, 2009

I 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 same

Have 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 start

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 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 care

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?

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 sleep

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 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?
