Spam

By Ben, on November 8th, 2009%

Even though my blog is small and has very little traffic I still get spam and this morning I looked to find a whopping 65 spam comments on my Dragon Age post. I guess the spam machines are always targetting the latest thing but I still feel special.

Gay News

By Ben, on October 28th, 2009%

I like to visit the Sydney Star Observer’s (SSO) website a couple times a month to keep abreast of what is happening in the gay community there but usually I end up shaking my head at just how petty and stupid people are.

This time there is an ongoing uproar about the police presence during . . . → Read More: Gay News

Oui’s Gift

By Ben, on October 27th, 2009%

Oui was sick with the Flu on his birthday, and still is, but was generous enough to share his sickness with me. I know he didn’t do it deliberately (or did he?) but I feel terrible enough to take medicine. So last night I took some psuedoephedrine variant and not only did I have immense . . . → Read More: Oui’s Gift

To Fix Or Not To Fix

By Ben, on October 21st, 2009%

In building the website for my work I’ve experienced a hiccup or two, but it is up and running (www.cibus.co.th). Since opening it up to customers I’ve disovered that the site doesn’t render correctly in any Internet Explorer below 8, and even that only works in compatability mode.

So the question I’ve been tossing around . . . → Read More: To Fix Or Not To Fix

My Weird Sleep Patterns

By Ben, on October 21st, 2009%

Whenever I go to bed at a reasonable hour lately I somtimes have very vivid dreams. They’re not vivid in a way that everything looks real, it’s more that everything feels real to me emotionally. Unfortunately most of my dreams are incredibly depressing and even though when I wake up I know they’re not real, . . . → Read More: My Weird Sleep Patterns

Insurance Companies are Evil

By Ben, on October 6th, 2009%

Did I ever mention that I despise insurance companies? Insurance companies exist to promote fear of what might happen which they then use to sell you ‘peace of mind’. Should you ever need to make use of your insurance you are penalised by higher rates or denial of your claim.

Insurance companies employ a lot . . . → Read More: Insurance Companies are Evil

Randomness Is Fun

By Ben, on September 3rd, 2009%

Today’s random MSN Messenger conversation stared with Oui asking me how to spell something and ended with “BITCH! GET MY KATAMARI!” from me, all in a matter of about 10 lines.

Oui went for an interview yesterday and they must have liked him because they offered him the job on the spot, begging him not . . . → Read More: Randomness Is Fun

Aussie ISP’s Suck

By Ben, on September 2nd, 2009%

When I first got onto the internet dialup was king, the information superhighway was a twinkle in someones eye and broadband wasn’t even a word (it still isn’t). The slow speeds made me hesitate with every mouse click because I was constantly concerned about the amount of time it would take for wherever that click . . . → Read More: Aussie ISP’s Suck

PS3 Hitting It’s Stride

If you haven’t heard the news: God of War Collection – Blu-ray Disc Compilation Available This Holiday Season!

All I can say is FUCK YES! This gives me hope that they’ll possibly do the same for ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.

My Torrents Are Slooow

By Ben, on August 26th, 2009%

I’ve noticed since yesterday all trackers to the torrents I’m downloading of various televions shows have gone offline or aren’t working. Has anyone else seen this or is it just me (if it’s just me I need to make a phone call to my ISP.

It’s not that my torrents aren’t downloading though. DHT, Local . . . → Read More: My Torrents Are Slooow
