UPDATE: Win music with Cocacola

Matthew — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 09:58:40 +0000

I entered with another code and it appears I was wrong. It is not a rip-off. I have won a song. I have also been entered into the hourly draw to win an actual iPod. Sorry Coca-Cola.

Win music with Cocacola

Matthew — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 18:46:54 +0000

Coke / Coca-Cola are doing another get a code off a bottle and enter online thing to WIN a song on iTunes. I state WIN in capitals because a few months ago they were generously giving you a song with each bottle. I have entered two codes so far and… no I haven’t won yet. Oh well. You can also win an 80 gig (or is it 60 gig?) iPod Video. This will be handy if I win one because I want one.

I tried the WYSIWYG website maker BlueVoda. Does this look like what I expected the finished result to look like?

5 Reasons Why iTunes Sucks

Matthew — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 14:03:41 +0000

Here is the latest chart countdown of why iTunes is poo

5 Like the radio most of the listed music is crap
4 It has an Apple UI even on Windows
3 It has too many playlists and things in the left panel
2 Look at what is circled with ‘wtf who cares’. Do I want to download THAT?
1 Not forgetting that I won’t own an iPod forever and won’t be able to play my hundereds of pounds of music on anything else and when I make a new PC user account or reinstall iTunes I lose all my music (happened a few times now)
Just added! If you don’t know about tech and keep up to date how do you know what iTunes Plus or iTunes U is? I don’t even know what iTunes U is. Who do they think they are? MTV? (see)

Go to www.wikipedia.com/wiki/orgoo. Funny, because i’m sure that last week I contributed to wikipedia by making this article. Bum heads, and it was an article about an actual thing and I was using my wikipedia account? Anyone who can suggest why wikipedia do this is welcome to tell me.

Google has weird hour

Matthew — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:28:17 +0000

I’m not usually one to babble on about technical geekery but surfing the web today (as you do) I went to Google to first find that yet again, the same thing that happened a few months ago had happened. Look at the second picture! The links and whatnot were in a massive panel down the left and a random red New! splatted on it in no particular place. Then about half hour later I went back on to Google (UK) to see what must be the largest amount of service links (eg Images etc) above the search box than I had ever seen. Look at the first picture to see that one. Has anyone else experienced the panel links thing or noticed anything else strange on Google? Maybe they were just having a playful hour controlling what most of the world sees in front of them when they go on the Internet.

Ryan gets Wii

Matthew — Wed, 09 May 2007 16:21:31 +0000

My brother Ryan got his Wii yesterday. Wii sports is so cool. Also you can go on the Internet (as in actually browsing anything) for free. You can watch YouTube videos full screen and use RadioBlogClub (my favourite music listening website) on a specially built Wii version. Cool!

I have started to make the very first steps towards a new 1st Bletchley Scout Group beta site. Please leave your comments on what you think would be good, whether I should continue to use Joomla! or just do it like a normal site. Also, if you know of any good Content Managment Systems that I could use to add news to a site made in Dreamweaver then please email me via kempsterm@gmail.com as I want to know if this is possible, Bye.

Matthew on Goonscape

My brother plays on Runescape all the time. Now that we have a network and can use the net at the same time I thought, It would be fun if I got an account so I could go on it and wind him up virtually.

Heres a picture of me being a tw*t on Runescape

It’s so gay.

Wireless Internet

Matthew — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 19:26:22 +0000

This is so cool. I finally got my wireless Internet working for my laptop, now me and my brother can both use the Internet at the same time!

I have had so many ‘experts’ round my house trying to get it working and I did it.

I did it!

I Played On A PlayStation 3!

Matthew — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 12:47:39 +0000

Bit late to say it really, but last week I played on a PlayStation 3 in Virgin Megastore. Didn’t even have to queue. It was wicked, the wireless controller (the only hardware I touched) was really lightweight. I played Ridge Racer which had wicked music and everything!

I hate jumble sales

Matthew — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 14:32:29 +0000

Today I went to the yearly 1st Bletchley Jumble Sale to help out. It’s a great idea but I hate jumble sales all together. They are just filled with old gypsy lesbians and Bletchleyites.

Matthew — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 20:47:40 +0000

The popular american channel current_ has launched in the UK and Ireland. Available on Sky 229 (and VMTV) the channel shows videos from users uploaded on the current_ website. It is pretty good, better than some of the crap on Sky these days! Try it and see what you think.

Virgin Media gets LOST rights

Matthew — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:59:22 +0000

In your childish face BSkyB! Virgin will now be showing the hit US show Lost On-Demand, maybe even before it is shown on SkyOne. After the last few weeks Sky and Virgin Media have been in a row about rights for VM to show the Basic Sky Channels (Sky One, Two, Three, News, Sports News, Travel, Arts) resulting in these being taken off the Virgin EPG. Well, I suppose it’s only Simpsons that matters! By the way, VM viewers in Ireland can get Lost on the RTE channel!

MKTV to get revamp

Matthew — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:40:46 +0000

After a rather poor launch, Milton Keynes’ television channel (sky 227) is to get a complete state of the art expensive revamp with on screen graphics and programming. On Tuesday this week viewers watched a replay of the ‘Little Breakfast Show’ looping non stop all day and by Wednesday all we saw was the in my opinion pretty crappy MKTV logo with a black background. The Citizen local newspaper went to the studios in Bletchley on Wednesday to see what was going on. There were no lights on until workers at the newspapers HQ, watching MKTV, saw there reporters on the channel standing looking through windows. They were invited in to talk and the man in charge admitted the station (launched a week and a half ago) has had teething problems and is set to improve. I say scrap the Beverley Hillbillies and bring on some more Milton Keynes related stuff!

Sony unveils it’s 3D ‘Second Life’ style universe

Matthew — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:31:12 +0000

Sony is hoping to replicate the success of social networks and Second Life with a feature called Home.

Playstation 3 gamers will be able to meet, chat and share content with friends inside a 3D universe.

“It’s about community, collaboration and customisation,” said Sony’s Phil Harrison at the Game Developers Conference, in San Francisco.

Gamers can buy furniture and clothes, while publishers and retailers are also expected to offer 3D spaces.

Mr Harrison said the games industry had to learn from the success of the web 2.0 movement

“We want to start a movement called Game 3.0. It’s about emerging entertainment, powered by the audience at the centre of the experience.”

Home is similar to Second Life, the popular 3D universe for PCs and Macs. Gamers can create avatars – online versions of themselves – and buy new clothes and create their own homes.

Mr Harrison described Home as a 3D social networking service.

Dynamic advertising – including high definition video – can be pushed into the 3D universe.

The service launches in the autumn and Sony hopes it will answer critics who feel the firm has been overtaken by Microsoft in the online gaming arena.

Home players will be able to buy clothes and furniture

Sony is hoping companies outside of gaming will want their own spaces inside Home.

“This is not just about Sony brands and Sony games – it’s a much wider network of connected spaces,” said Mr Harrison.

“There will be individual locations dedicated to game publishers, game developers, and titles.

“Over time it will extend to non-game brands.”

Mr Harrison also debuted titles for PlayStation 3 at the San Francisco conference that would leverage the success of social networks such as MySpace and FaceBook.

An online version of karaoke title Singstar will let gamers share video clips of their vocal efforts and leave comments for other players.

“The industry is on the threshold of a new era of creativity, collaboration, communication and commerce embedded into an experience to empower games,” Mr Harrison said.

Derren Brown reveals newest stunt

Matthew — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:28:19 +0000

Illusionist Derren Brown has revealed his latest stunt to be shown on TV – making a woman believe that she has died in a car accident.

Julie Simm was hypnotised by Brown before being taken to a mock crash scene. She was then allowed to wander around the wreckage whilst ambulance men removed what appeared to be her body from a car.

The stunt is part of Derren Brown’s new series Trick or Treat, in which participants have to choose a card to determine if they will receive a treat or be tricked by the illusionist.

A source at Channel 4 told The Sun, “She can’t believe what’s happening. As far as she’s aware she is still alive, so she ends up having this strange out-of-body experience. She’s clearly distressed, but not hysterically so.”

They added, “She vowed to wear her seat belt from now on so it’s had some public service value.”
