No-one else has ranted back - yet...

YouTube recently launched the ability to upload and watch 1080p HD videos on their site, and also previously introduced a new feature where you can right-click on the video and get a context menu option to copy the embed HTML, view the video info or copy any debug info. When I learned of these, I went ahead to test them out on some of my own videos to try and see what would appear. But, to my dismay, nothing happened on either side. However, when I went and tried it on other videos, it worked fine…

Someone ranted back.

So for those of you still don’t yet know how I watch people’s feeds, I utilise IE8 and Windows Live Mail, since I prefer those programs over Mozilla’s offering, and Google’s lack of offline tools to do the same. However, one niggling problem with using those to update my feeds is that sometimes, they just don’t update no matter what the setting for frequency of updating. And even more annoying is that sometimes it’ll just randomly start working again…

So, one of the things I’ve wanted to do for a while was save up enough money to build myself a custom PC. Unfortunately, that was never really able to materialise seeing as how I never had the money to spend on it, for several reasons (be they paying for on-campus accommodation, paying repeat fees, paying other general crap). However, since I found out I didn’t have to pay anything extra for my studies this year (as well as getting money back!), I now have the cash to do my fancy build. Although what to get for my build is a whole different kettle of fish…

So, for the past few days you may have noticed that my online activity has dropped dramatically compared to what most people would call “normal”. Well, there are a couple of reasons for that, but the one I’m going to be explaining today is probably the one none of you would care about – the new hard drive on my computer (and related crap).

This is a bit of a public thank-you to whoever it is on Shanliss Drive, in Santry, Dublin 9, whose unsecured wireless connection I’ve been hijacking for the past month since my landlady’s new UPC router was being a bitch and wouldn’t even fathom connecting to my laptop.

Dell are a load of fail…

This morning I arrived in college at my usual late-morning time of around 11. Take out my computer, plug it in, turn it on. No dice. Try again, still nothing. Why the fuck does Dell’s shit always eventually break down?

I’ve finally (and so has the server) recovered enough to be writing up my obligatory Irish Blog Awards 2009 post. It’s a duh-duh thing that nearly everyone who was there last Saturday is to write something about it. Pictures and videos galrore! Or at least those I can find…

It’s been too long since I last was able to play Pokémon Platinum, mainly because I’m at one of those “notable battle” points, and want to record it for adding into the playthroughs. Anyway more to the point, my new tactic for recording near-perfect sound quality isn’t working out all too well…
