Adobe AIR ready for Linux →
aatw:
Brajeshwar: Adobe AIR for Linux Alpha-Release is available on Adobe Labs. It is a pre-release version and is alpha-ish at best. Nice. I was looking for a Linux version a couple of weeks ago. I actually use a few AIR apps, albeit infrequently.
Stil looks like it’s missing a few things, SWF in HTML is one of the things that will break Tumbrella but I’m glad Adobe have got...

aatw: Set to go live during the next few months, and at the behest of the UK music industry, Virgin’s scheme will see them send warning letters out to customers flagged as file-sharers by the BPI. Those who do not heed warnings to stop will see Virgin disconnect them from the internet. The scheme will also be available to movie and TV studios who wish to punish Virgin’s customers. I’d...
“During the time of the Napoleonic Wars. A French ship was wrecked just of the coast of the headland of Old Hartlepool. The only survivor to be washed ashore was a small monkey dressed in a French sailors uniform. The wretched creature had apparently been used for entertainment by the crew of the unfortunate ship. The people of Hartlepool at the time were largely simple fishing folk and had...

Ok. So I'm riding the train home from the mall today around noon. I'm sitting at the back listening to my iPod when these two dudes come up to me. One was a weird looking black dude and his friend was, what looked to be, a white nerd.
They come up to me, and this is how the conversation goes:
White guy: Hey, mannn
Me: ?
Black guy: You like rap?
Me: Uhhh, yeah?
Black guy: Alright, man. You need to check out our mixtape. It's only $1. We're the "Dream Team"
Me: ....
So now I'm interested to see what these clowns are made of. I give them $1 and take the Memorex CD and drop it in my bag.
When I get home I put the CD in my computer and see there is only one 3-minute track. I give the immediate : \
I rip the song onto my computer and play it.
All of the sudden I'm taken over by annoying synthesizers and badly placed drum beats.
"This sounds familiar"
And I hear those haunting words......."We're no strangers to love, you know the rules and so do I.."
I realized I just PAYED to be Rick Rolled.
a lovefillm 14 day free trial is really a 9 day...
When you sign up for a 14 day free trial of LOVEFiLM you might expect it to last the full 14 days, however LOVEFiLM will charge you 5 days before the free trial ends. This is because the disks need to be “sent back and processed”.
If like me, you decide to cancel on the 14th free day, you will still be charged a full month for which you will never use. Don’t expect to get a...

flash is too hard to be useful
I’ve used Flash off and on since version 5, now I’m doing my final year project and I need to use some trickery to make stuff look cool and work just as sexy.
One of those things is simple image panning, I’m quite use to ActionScript and I didn’t think it would be hard to get this working. My normally process is, figure out what I want to do, look for scripts that I can...
Why bother having a resume? →
“I think if you’re remarkable, amazing or just plain spectacular, you probably shouldn’t have a resume at all.”
