Yup, xmas is here. So if you’re thinking about buying me a present, have a look at my Amazon wishlist. It’ll save you a lot of wondering about what to get me, and it’ll get me stuff I want (and it shouldn’t be too expensive). Thanks in advance :p
Let me know what you want for xmas (if your applicable to present buying!)
If you want to get TV out to work on Linux on Radeon 7000, don’t bother with all those little tools and things (unless you want something other than ‘clone’ mode). Simply plug in your svideo cable and use the ‘vesa’ driver for X rather than radeon. I tried for a long time to find the right modeline to use but couldn’t get it to work. However, I’ll try some more later on, chances are I might be able to find the current modeline from the vesa driver and use it on the radeon/ati one.
update: I’ve bought an Nvidia geforce 4 mx with tv out for the machine as ati only offer proprietry drivers for radeon cards 8000+, which the radeon 7000 isn’t, and I simply had enough as this solution only cost £7 from ebay and it’s probably a better one as you can do alsorts with their driver.
Well, here’s a very good reason to switch to the firefox web browser instead of using Internet Explorer. A new not-yet-patched exploit has been exposed that allows allows someone to run whatever they like on your computer. I’ve set it up myself to proove how easy it is:
IE Exploit (loads calc.exe (after you click your OS) calculator (harmless!)).
Say I wanted to steal money from you…I could quite easily make that page download a program to monitor what you type, like all your passwords etc..and then email me the info via a hotmail account, and just silently gather all your personal details over many years, then bam, I login to your bank account, transfer all your money over to an offshore account and live happily ever after…but much richer.
Time to stop using IE, it sucks anyway.
Hi, yes, it’s finally returned in Java form, curtesy of Nick!
Remember, update your bookmarks by using ctrl+d, lots of new photos in there and clever bits and peices. Many thanks to Nick! No more ‘wheres the gallery’ now eh?! eh?
Enjoy! Donate? 
Yup, now you can easily donate to the gallery, the web site or just me in general by clicking on the donate button (under the links at the side) and giving me £££ via paypal. I will make sure that Nick gets a big chunk of it due to his hard work on the gallery.
Donating will ensure this site stays around. It’s not free to run, it’s cost me over £200 already..!
Oh and by the way, gallery is ready, we’re linking it in soon (maybe today). It’s pretty neat, plus there’s loads of new photos Nick’s taken and I have a fair few to add myself. Including the one of me being sick on myself!
Alternatively, instead of getting me an xmas prezzie, donate! 
Special mention to James: Thanks for your help in the past with donations! Sorry I suck so much.
This is the coolest thing ever, get it now and we’ll play. It’s basically tetris online against other people, highly addictive.
Totally free of course.
