Someone sick of all crapware you get upon new computers these days has built an app to ‘decrap’ your computer. The program called ‘PC Decrapifier‘ targets typical Dell machines but should work for any computer sporting the typical crapware. Beware, although the tool specifically targets apps shipped with a new dell machine it will remove some full working apps as well, so if you aren’t running it on a new machine, or have some sort of extended dell free trial on apps you want to abuse (typically norton or mcafee although i’d suggest avast or avg free over these programs), be sure to untick these apps first.

Ok, for all you mathematically thinking
people out there, and for people who think they can add, I have a game for you,
it’s important).  The game starts with someone (or a computer) with 5
dice, they are rolled and you are asked the answer, now typically you don’t
know, so you are told.  The dice is rolled again, and you are asked the
answer, and so on.  The only facts you need to work it out, in fact you
don’t really need any.  But traditionally (yes this is a very old game)
you can know 3 things.  The answer to any roll, the name of the game, and
the fact that the answer is always even or 0.

Here’s a good web version and another one if you don’t like that interface…

Also a nice article on what happened with Bill Gates back in 1977

At this minute I’m sitting in front of Firefox, writing this post in a Firefox add-on called ‘performancing‘ it’s a little extension which makes a bar pop up at the bottom of the window to allow you to write something on your blog without stopping what your doing normally, although I suppose its better than the normal Firefox thing anyway.

Anyway, I just found an artical on digg and went to the website and not only read the article but the one two before it, I’m not sure what it is but even though it doesn’t apply to me in almost any shape or form (yet anyway) it seems to have hit me a little harder than I expected.

The first article and the seccond article are on a website called violentacres.com which seems to fit the theme perfectly. Anyway, if you are a digg member, hit the digg this link which I have pointed to the original digg post.

“On this old Children’s show, there are many obvious sexual suggestions. Absolutely Hilarious if above intended viewing age!”
It is a copy of Rainbow which seems a little over the top, it is the right cast though. It reminds me listening to the lyrics to the original ‘Barbie Girl’ song.

Sometimes you read something that you just have to share, not only share but archive…
“A kid tries to contact someone over MSN in an attempt to coerce him into dropping password details, and gets a little more than he bargained for.”

It has been a good while since I posted on here properly, just over 2 months I think.  There are a few minor changes in my life style due to things like (eventually) starting driving lessons, and actually bought a cheap car, to help learn in and to get me started.  But overall the main change in my life is the fact I’m now single.  Most people know, at least those that know me or read almost any other (older) post on here that I was going out with a girl called Natalie, who coincidentally also posts or at least posted on here with me.  The whole thing lasted just short of a year and a half, though we’ve known each other for probably over 7 years, I’m not quite sure how I managed it, but we are still friends and not all that awkward around each other so its all right over all.

I’m back again at Sixth form this year to get my A2 levels out of the way, and I’ve dropped Business to concentrate on Maths, Physics and ICT.

Guess what, it’s now my birthday, and I just hit 18, I know most people will now be expecting a mature adult, but the people who know me should really have more reasonable expectations.

Well the results are back, I got a B in ICT (it appears I did quite crap in the general exams), a B in Maths (quite proud of that), a C in Physics (I flunked a paper and will probably retake it to bump this to a B) and finally I got a C in Business Studies. I’m not sure whether I’m impressed with BS or not, it was the first time I took the subject and was never really that interested in it. I’m also planning on dropping it next year, so I don’t think it’s worth taking again. Oh and for all it’s worth i got a C in General Studies, which isn’t bad as I never took the lessons.

Nat, as far as I can remember did quite well in her exams and got higher than expected for all her results, I’m sure she will post later with what she actually got, although I don’t think she was happy with the results.
