Review: Retroshare – part of a possible new internet era?

Ok, a lot of you are probably seeing in the news lately of a battle going on between internet pirates, copyright trolls and media corporations. Lately it’s been looking like the copyright trolls and media corporations are winning – however this war of control seems to operate to some degree of balance and it seems …

Duel Monitors?

Someone said in a social media post they wanted Duel Monitors (as opposed to Dual?) And here is the result of my secondlife assisted imagination:

I am thinking of reviewing games

I am wanting to start a little project of reviewing computer games that fit a few requirements (or at least most of what I’m looking for). For which I will call the “Budget Lanner’s Challenge”. I call it a challenge because of the criteria I will be scoring them against. I will probably start checking …

Exchanging pleasantries

When working in a call centre – you kinda get sick of saying the same boring responses to clients and their attempts of being a little social before they get to the point of their issue. I’ve used this “alive and twitching” line in most of my calls. while most people don’t take in much …

Wait… What!… I don’t remember “Liking” that page!!!

Ok – I’ve seen many friends get caught on Facebook from clicking on dodgy pages that before you know it has auto-clicked “like” on your behalf.

Here is a classic example picture of what would appear on your own or a friend’s facebook feed.:

What a link like that would lead you to is often a “fake” youtube looking page or similiar page claiming to have some kind of video (or some kind of interesting thing). What these sites do as some may falsely offer something to view but might not actually have it. Or may actually have said clip or content.  but it’s what happens in the background that is the nasty bit. Read the rest of this entry »

An old school project, made with the help of a friend and some props. The task of the project was to co-ordinate and make some kind of TV commercial. With my limited resources – this is what My friend and I managed to come up with.

It’s a bit of a blast from the past for me – but proud to say that yes this is something that I made!

Drive 26-02-2011 Kosciuszko National Park

Categories:

Blog, Video

by

Some friends and I do the occasional day-long drive through the local countryside – this is part of a run through Kosciuszko National Park – where some roads get a bit narrow and steep and winding through the mountainside. While the video may not show it well – some sections of road get pretty steep!

This video summarises the journey we go through on these occasions. Where we favour roads that give entertainment value when driving, roads that give us hills, twisting turns and interesting scenery.

Note: If you want it in HD Video you can get the HD feed via the options in the embedded player below (just pick 720p or 1080p) Or you can click here for the HD version.

This is a bit of a tribute to a number of friends I have with unusual backgrounds.

Everyone has their own belief or theory, from an atheist perspective I’ve been able to observe that a lot of people (though not all of them) with a religiously biased view seem have a more likely tendency to oppose change, more so to oppose things that are different to them. For some unknown reson they fail to look at a bigger picture – that is everyone is effectively still considered human, we all have a lot of similiarities – 1 head, 1 ass, 1 brain and 4 limbs (unless you’re a well-endowed porn star!).

Regardless of one’s preferences, most people I’ve met who have come from minority backgrounds such as the Gay & Lesbian scene, or some religious group, or even just people who do some harmless weird hobby or social activity. These people are much the same – with the right consideration and co-operation they are no different to you and I…

After much messing about trying to figure out how the bad guys were getting in – I’m starting to rebuild the website again. – Some of you who have seen my previous posts I apologise in advance for reposting some of my older material.

If things go smoothly – expect to see more happening soon!

Meanwhile – have a picture of a kitten!
