What a woeful display of footballing ‘excellence’…. the best players we have… give me a break.
If you disregard the disallowed goal, England’s display was appaulling… completely and utterly outclassed by the Germans… I know who I’ll be supporting from here on in. (more…)
Well… first we had the scrapers… now we have the spammers… Since about 4:30pm my blog has seen an inordinate amount of traffic originating from all over the place… the one common thing… all of it is apparently referrals from a site that pushes software for getting your links around and about the web. I’m not going to give them the recognition they are after by putting the domain on the front page, so if you want to know more, read on… (more…)
Well well, what a bloody farce! Upgrade to AVG Internet Security (the business version) and ICQ stops working… if you’re having problems with ICQ being unable to connect (the incredibly informative ‘Oops, something went wrong’ message), read on. (more…)
A word of warning… do NOT change the email address or password on your PS3 using the XMB account management options (as far as I can tell this applies to any firmware version from 2.50 onwards). There is an increasing number of players who are reporting that when they do, they start getting this error. Once that occurs, it seems the only fix is to wipe your profile and lose your game saves. Some people only report a trophy sync error, but others… as I say are resorting to the deletions of hours of gameplay to solve the issue.
This is hardly an acceptable solution, so SONY… get your bloody finger out and get a fix for this. We already have one account that is broken… how long before the other breaks! We are running firmware 2.53, and have changed the email address associated with an account after installing 2.50.
Update:- The 2.60 firmware update appears to fix this error for a large number of people. See this post for more information.
Just a quick word of advice about the downloadable content available for LittleBigPlanet.
If you download costumes from the PlaystationStore and they aren’t available for your character, make sure you have logged in to your PS3 account and fired up LBP. You must do this to ‘activate’ the content for your character.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be stated anywhere (at least I couldn’t find it) and as a consequence, I ended up purchasing another copy of one of the custome sets when all I really needed to do was login as me and start up LBP.
So, if your content isn’t available immediately, make sure you have logged in and have fired up LBP with you your character.
In recent months I’ve had a few of accounts sign up, providing the most basic of details and matching usernames, nicknames and email addresses, all of which were linked to spamming.. needless to say, they got banned. But more annoyingly in the last month or so, someone has hacked the site. Thankfully it appears they broke something before they could do any damage.
The upshot of this is that I’ve turned off signups since these people seem to be able to break captchas and other measures, so…. if you’d like to get involved in discussions on my site, drop me a mail introducing yourself and I’ll get you a user created. I wish it didn’t have to be this way, but unfortunately thats life on the internet these days. Oh happy times 
Just thought I’d make a quick mention about this issue to try and help someone else being bitten in the ass by it.

Just a word of warning…. if you are thinking about purchasing services from GetPro Internet Services… DON’T!
I am still waiting for the services I ordered to be provided (10 days after I paid for them). Moreover, PayPal are being as obtuse as ever now I’m trying to get a refund.
So, in one or two words…. don’t use GetPro Internet Services (getpro.co.uk). If, by any chance you are the owner/admin of GetPro and you can justify why you’ve not answered my mail (I ordered two IRC bouncers on 10th October 2007 and emailed you within a couple of days about them), then lets hear it…. but I will say this… I don’t need the service now as I’ve had to obtain them from elsewhere, so you can either give me a refund or, I’ll pursue it with my credit card company.
Yet again, games are in the firing line and now I’m getting really angry.

I’m sure that most people will have had an encounter with Jehovahs Witnesses at least once. If you are a Jehovahs Witness, then I make no apology if you are offended by the content of this post, its just unfortunate that you are a part of a religion that so openly forces itself on people. And to be perfectly honest, I’m sick of it. (more…)
