00110102... WTF?!? » Random entry http://www.hintswen.com/blog For everything Grey Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:43:17 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 7305 days old http://www.hintswen.com/blog/2010/04/07/7305-days-old/ http://www.hintswen.com/blog/2010/04/07/7305-days-old/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:05:01 +0000 Hintswen http://www.hintswen.com/blog/?p=205 It was my birthday on Monday so I figured I should post something… Well that’s that taken care of.

Well actually no, I can’t post something that short or people will complain that I don’t write enough. Today I found out I won $25 :) I was also $4 short to buy a license for ShowAnalyzer (They are making me pay $30USD for a license to a buggy program like that?). For those of you who don’t know ShowAnalyzer is a program used to skip comercials on Windows Media Player. It’s one of two programs I use for it actually.

Yes, that means I finally got my TV Tuner card working again. I needed to disable signed driver enforcement or something along those lines and then I installed the drivers. Also had to install ReadyBoot Plus which automatically disables signed driver enforcement when my computer boots up. I wonder if I can get one of my old webcams working now, might try that later this week.

In other news I have been asked to work for two more Habbo fan sites. I don’t understand why people keep asking me as I have told them before I will not work on Habbo fan sites for these reasons (although if any fan sites solves some of these issues before asking me, I might consider it):

  • I don’t go on Habbo very often, and when I do go on it’s usually just to check what has changed
  • Offering me the second fan site owner badge if it gets official does not work (see above). Offering me financial compensation for my time does work.
  • If you are asking me to work for you just so you can use one of my scripts, no. I am glad you like my script(s) and want to use them, how about asking me if you can use them? I will probably say yes (although you may need to integrate my scripts via XML/RSS etc. as I may not be willing to share my source code yet)
  • If you just want something small done, just ask me! If it’s something small I might just do it on the spot if I’m not busy.
  • I will NOT work for a fan site where the staff do not trust me.
  • I will NOT work for a fan site if it is run by idiots, people under the age of 13, or people who regularly break the Habbo rules.
  • I will NOT work for a fan site which is run by or has annoying people as staff (generally people who add me to group conversations/calls without asking first).

Now that you know. Fix it or don’t ask.

The trip will take over 18 hours to complete with the first train departing at 4:32am and the last train arriving at 10:50 assuming everything goes to plan. I can only say goodluck to Heath and I hope that delayed/cancled trains and other passengers dont get in your way.

Furthermore last week 4 keys on my keyboard stopped working.

Today I also decided to take a look at my blogs stats only to find a massive jump in viewers on May 13th. 356 Visits on that day, 120 on may 19th, 75 on may 24th, less than 10 most other days. Yet on may 13th I didn’t post anything new. At first I thought it was the day Google indexed my blog but it turns out only 39 hits were referred from Google. Turns out Stumble Upon caused the jump.

I also found my blog is the third Google search result when searching for “firefox 3 easter egg”.

Thank you to all my readers for making my day.

PS. Forgot to mention this above but ive also had 5 spam comments so far
