Nov 6th 2005 No more problems..

[Note: Some people may have some problems accessing the site please keep retrying the DNS is updating though]

Well yesterday I had just had about enough of my blog and other sites falling to there knees due to a server problem with my webhost, so i hit them up with a email and they have moved me to a newer server, Nu (my old server) was terrible upto 2hrs of downtime, mental if it was'nt HTTP down it was MySQL (Database system which keeps the site running) so we should'nt see anymore problems :)

Well i've got my phone, soon as I opened it up I fell in love with it, its amazing! the camera, video ect is amazing, battery life is abit dull though, I might upgrade the battery in it though! Im planin o ad oe new sections to my blog when my bluetooth dongle gets here! like a Phone Photo Gallery (Pics i've taken with my phone) and possibly a weekly video hosted on my putfile.com account here www.putfile.com/1tp theres some funny videos and such on there which i've found and collected up.

The first one is one my dad emailed over to me.. Click here to watch 'kate-moss-hoover' This is a funny video taking the mick out of Kate Moss and her… drug adiction :P oh what can I say go watch it :P

This one I found was very funny, what do you get if… you stick a firework up your arse and light it find out here Click here to watch 'buttrocket wow that guy is a idiot…

Dad comes over tomorrow oh and joe too lol he is supposed to be getting my car sorted out while he is over :P i'll keep reminding him I mean hey I should be driving soon (next year - yes thats soon we only have nov and dec to go :| ) Back to college tomorrow can't wait i love it and I have to hand in my 42 Page assignment, I have started my VB assignment but nowhere close to finishing it, I dnt even o when I have to hand it in!

So what do you think to me posting a weekly video of random things from my phone? Pst your comments and your say on the subject I mean you are the readers right? Why not be a viewer too :P

Oh that will do for a couple of days laters

Nov 3rd 2005 Messenger 8 - The death of MSN Messenger

Yes people, you heard it right for those who didnt know you now know, a few days ago it was annouced that the next instant messenger program will be called Windows Live Messenger (8??) and below are a few screenshots of its over bloatedness (what do you expect the product manager is female and they want every feature going :P )

Contact list msn8-2.PNG

As you can see theres still alot of work (chuck it in the bin :P start again) but it uses the new msn protocol 13 so we should see some improvements to the system (logon times ect), so lets have a look at the contact list first.

looks like msn 7.5 (ewww) however you got this glass effect over your DP's which I quite like! you can now colourize your contact list too, MsgPlus! is totally borked in this version, and theres some nice rollover effects too! - No big changes.

The convo window is nothing to piss your pant over either, 200+ buttons for more crap and "fun" two fuck off buttons for searching msn (copied google) search, and one to send… but does anyone even use the send button? what about hitting Enter :P

Final verdict - Nothing to be excited about, And i am ment to be in the msg 8 beta too lol ( MSN Messenger 7 to 7.5 Beta Tester)

Now for a update on life:
———————————————

Drving lesson yesterday wee so fun did some reversin down a road, my linux cds/dvd come yesterday too so I have been trying them out (fedora, mandriva, SUSE10). Dont get me started on my phone thats really annoyed me lol, ok so I have been told I blog too much so I won't be blogging for another 2 days or so, I got college work to do anyways!!

And finally.
