I mgiht be on TV....

Erm.
I might be on TV next week o_0

See er....purely random, while walking to get some food today with Carmy, we were stopped by these two women. One had a camera and one had a clipboard.
To save a long story, they were from a UK TV show called "Most Haunted". For those of you who don't know, the TV show is about...well...supposedly haunted places. They go around different places, usually with a couple of mediums (i.e. Con artists that walk into a room and go "oh, I feel something here, somebody must have died here in this house once". And of course, they'll go research it and indeed find that 100 years ago someone was killed there for whatever reason. Yey. Then just for the hell of it, they'll leave a camera in a room overnight and manage to find a curtain flicker at some point or whatever. Oh and they only ever leave ONE camera, so they can't actually "verify" that it was real and not a trick, nor can they explain what happens either. You'd think they'd learn by like the 6th series or whatever, but anyway.
Basically, they asked Carmy to just say something to the camera, something about some guy doing his first live show, because for some reason they're doing a Live show in Liverpool next weekend. Oh and I was standing beside her as she said it, so I'm in the picture as well :D
As you might imagine, I'm not a fan of the show simply because I'm too cynical of the whole ghosts and spirits thing, but it's pretty popular here I guess.
Either way, for those of you in the UK who want to get a glimpse of me and my woman on TV, you'll have to watch it next week. It's on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Living TV (How ironic), I think it's at 9 or something.
The biggest Irony is that LivingTV is only available to Satellite/Cable customers, so I wont be able to watch it myself, but what the hell. If you're feeling generous, record the whole thing and send me a Tape/DVD of it :P

I'll be back

The Terminator
You scored 72 Wisdom, 50 Tactics, 63 Guts, and 38 Ruthlessness!

I have decided that you best fit the personality of the Terminator from
T2. Rough and tough, not too bright, and nobody's killer, but he's just
as obliged to shoot you in the knee. You fit the characteristics of a
special forces soldier, so in lieu of the fact that the Terminator is
not a combat general..... oh screw it, you're the terminator.

I need to update more

I haven't been on LJ much this week, due to various reasons. Coursework being one of them.
We had to do this big thing for Personal Development (PD being that big...useless....piece of shit module we all have to do for some reason that has yet to surface from the face of anyone who works at the university), basically 2000 words on the current Job market for anyone doing the course we're on.
Waste of fucking time really, cuz all you're going to find out is that either a) you're going to be able to get a Job when you finish the course, like you planned all along, or b) You're fucked either way because there's no Jobs around, guess it's time to build that Time Machine you've been dreaming about so you can go back in time and pick a better course.
On a brighter note, George Best is finally dead. It's about fucking time too, the cunt wasted 3 livers and can rot in hell for all I care.
But enough about that, plenty of people have ranted about him as it is.

I think Steve and Vicki are stalking me.
Steve would be the one that got into a big argument here a few posts back. Since that argument spawned off, I hadn't bumped into him once, I never even seen him around Liverpool at all.
Then the other day he sends me an email and to cut a long story short, we sorted our shit out. The NEXT day, I ACCIDENTALLY bump into him and Vicki on their way back from the Chinese (or so they say). The day AFTER that, I bump into them again in Tesco while I went in to get some doughnuts (bastards didn't have any either). Then, again, TODAY, Carmy went to get changed and spotted a couple of Voyeurs looking at her through the window. Would be Dee Dee and Vicki, wouldn't it?.
Oh and later on the SAME day I bump into them on the way back from Tesco (went to get some Lemsip for Carmy since she's feeling a little ill). I know they probably missed me, but this is getting out of hand >_>

I think I've managed to get Carmy addicted to Knights of the Old republic. Gonna get her on Neverwinter Nights too, that way she'll always keep coming back to my place for a play <_<

I bought some Whipped cream. I'm saying nothing more about that.

I am such a fucking geek

Ok, so I'm up playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and I get to a point in the game where there's a mathematical challenge in order to do something in the game. Now they actually give you a few ways to get around this point, so you don't HAVE to do the mathematical part, but I decided to try it anyway.

Now the Challenge is rather simple, there's a sequence of numbers and you have to get the next number in the sequence from a selection of numbers.
Pretty easy, right?

Here they are:

Additive: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16 (19, 22, 24, 31)
Subtractive: 21, 18, 16, 15, 15, 16 (14, 18, 19, 21)
Multiplicative: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 (48, 52, 64, 96)
Divisive: 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4 (2, 1, 0, -2)
Exponential: 1, 32, 81, 64, 25 (1, 3, 6, 9)
Logarithmic: 1 0 - 8 3 - 32 5 - 128 (5, 6, 7, 8)

Now the first 4 are pretty simple, but the 5th one stumped me. I went to look it up and even found the answer, but this is where the geekyness of me took over. I KEPT on searching for more and more answers to find out WHY it was the answer. In the end none of the walkthroughs, guides and FAQ's gave a reason as to why the answer was what it was, but I managed to figure it out in the end.

What's more of a tragedy, the fact that I'm up at 4 in the morning doing my laundry, the fact that I'm playing KOTOR at 4 in the morning, or the fact that I ended up trying to solve mathematical puzzles and got quite excited when I solved a more taxing one....?

Pretty damn accurate too....

This post is dedicated to dreamwraith.....

Kudos to Dreamwraith for this fucking awesome pic! Thanks Carl!



And no, I wont use an LJ cut.

Krazyhouse, breasts and pipes.

What an interesting time last night was.
As per plan, I went to the Krazyhouse with Carmy to meet some of her friends (more on them later).
Adam came as well, he was pretty cool. We tried dragging Malachy out too (literally), but he wouldn't budge. We ended up locking him inside a wardrobe....again.....

I met a bunch of Carmy's friends when we were there, can't remember half of their names, just Dave (who fondled me), Chris (Who's rather cool, hates Macs and lets me take pictures of his girlfriend's cleavage) and Helen, Chris' girlfriend. Who has nice cleavage.

Yes, for some reason during the night, it seemed like a good idea to take pictures of people's cleavage o_0


These breasts were sighted at the scene, who owns them? See if you can guess! :D







One pair belongs to Helen, Chris' girlfriend whom I only met that night. God I love being Irish ^_^

I wore a sign on my back that said "B3TA - SAY HI! :)" Because there was actually an unofficial b3ta get-together that night, but nobody said hello and nobody went up to Adam and shouted "YOU'RE BARRY NOT!" :(
Oh well, still had a good night :D




From left to right: Dee Dee, Chris, Helen



Some random devilishly good-looking guy. Man he's hot. Boy whoever's tanking that guy is one lucky woman. I'm getting hot just looking at him.



It's BARRY NOT!



Some ho....getting her tits stared at by Dee Dee. For shame, Dee!



Chris, getting ready to either get punched by the random hot guy (Man he's so hot) or getting ready to pounce on him. I'm thinking the latter, I mean who could resist? God I bet he has a big penis. Mmmmmm.



Psst, she hasn't got a chance.



Adam just found out how big his penis really is.



Having been rejected by that really hot guy, Dee Dee swoops in to comfort her. Get in there.

After we left the Krazyhouse, Me, Carmy and Adam went to burger king and ate 5 bacon doubles between us. Oh and they also tried to steal my money. Bastards.
But the night was still young! We went back to Marybone, grabbed Malachy, and headed out to our secret location o' fun, aka the park :D
We even found a really big pipe in it. Man that was so cool.


Look at him go! Man that pipe knows how to have fun


That's right, even bog standard pipes know how to use a swing better than Malachy....


Malachy in a tree......
Malachy is one of those people who looks odd at the best of times, but take a closer look at this picture in particular......

At least If it ever turns out that I'm wrong about the whole God thing (and it is, in fact, NOT me) I'll have someone to talk to in hell....


Me beating Malachy with pipe :D


Malachy....Dead.......again.....

All in all, a great night was had by all who went, we must do it again :D

Team Marrybone, FUCK YEAH!

Dear god....our little thing has managed to get over 100,000 hits....



....wow

Sony done fucks up...again....

Guess what, Kids, Sony has gone and fucked up....again.
Remember that little program I told you they plopped onto their CD's that could potentially fuck up your computer?
Well the purpose of that program, according to Sony, was to protect the rights of the artist and reduce piracy and so on.
Well, that same little program contains bits of code swiped from other programs - all without the consent of the ones who wrote said programs.

Well done Sony, you have managed to "protect the rights of artists" by copying someone else's work.
Hypocritical bastards.

EDIT: Oh and just so you know, Sony released their own Uninstaller for their POS program.....which leaves your system even MORE vulnerable to attack. Well Done Sony. Don't worry though, the thing I posted to get rid of it before was NOT from Sony, so it's safe to use.

Heh heh heh....

You scored as A Slave To BDSM. Admit it, you like being tied up and being told you've been very naughty. You like teasing your partner and making them squirm, and not letting them be able to do anything about it. Some people think what you do is sick and disgusting, but you know it's all in good fun.

K-K-K-K-KRAZY!

Right. So erm.
Fuck.
Didn't see that one coming.


Oh well.

I've left the JMU anime society. I gave it my best shot, I guess we all did, but unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be. Weekly turnouts kept declining and none of the big Anime Companies would listen to us so we could show licensed content. Not only that, but there were constant fights amongst the admins and moderators, including the latest one which directly involved me. So I quit.
I do hope that it takes off, for everyone who's actually put work into it and  done more than just bitched about other people in it.
But besides that, there's another anime society in Liverpool. Ok, so it's from a different University, but at least they let anyone join. What's more, screenings are £3.50 less than the JMU one and they're able to show licensed content. I guess it does make sense that only one big society is needed as opposed to a moderately big one and a small one with only a handful of dedicated members.
Perhaps I'm just making excuses because I actually enjoyed the little group we had but the fact remains I'm no longer a part of it and I don't intend on coming back, for various reasons.
The biggest shame is that people who are 18+ can't get along, can't back down or can't resist getting one up on someone they just happen to disagree with, even if they are/were a friend. Ah well, 'cest la vie. And that concludes the only bit of French I know.
Another shame is the two-facedness of some people. One minute they're thanking you for helping them out, the next they're bitching about you in a thread or someone's Journal, even on things that have nothing to do with them. Then when you DO bring them into it, they scream out that it does INDEED have nothing to do with them.
You just can't please some people. I give up fighting though, there really is no point when it comes down to it as most of the time it's just a difference of opinion which one side takes too much to heart.

I give up even trying to understand people though. It's almost like humans can't get along without creating problems. I mean, they say everyone needs challenge in their life, so is that why when things are going well, people have a habit of fucking them up? Is this some inherent human flaw that stems from the desire of challenge? I really don't know.

Like I said, I give up trying to even understand. So I'm going to the Krazyhouse on Saturday, Everyone is invited (And I mean EVERYONE), so tag along if you wish to go out that night. I really don't care if you have beef with me or if I have beef with you, I'm not going to be bitter about it or care that you're there and if you all do the same, then what does it matter. I'm going to have a good time regardless and nobody else will be able to ruin it, because quite frankly I just don't care enough to bother fighting. And if you have a problem with that.....I don't care. I've got more important things to waste energy on, like my relationship with Carmy (which still seems to be going well), my coursework (Also going very well), my computer, Uber, my room, my shoelaces and well..pretty much everything else in the world.

Sony are bastards.

Everyone has been going nuts in the news about Sony's rootkit embargo, but most people I bet don't know jack about it.
I've seen people say it'll destroy your computer or even that if you get rid of it, you wont be able to listen to any Sony CD on your PC, as well as all sorts of other crazy ideas, but it's not that bad.
All it is, simply put, is a piece of software that's installed on your PC when you load up a Sony CD that prevents you from being able to copy the CD.
The software itself, the actual rootkit, just hides the files installed from the CD so you can't manually delete them.
What this also means is that Anti-virus software can't see them either and this is where the real concern lies.
ANYONE could write a simple virus, even using code from an older one that's detected by any AV software under the sun, and all they gotta do is rename it appropriately and Sony's own little software will hide it for them!

So yeah, people are kicking up a fuss and for good reason, just sometimes it's not the right reason.

Luckily, there's a cure, it's here: http://www.sophos.com/support/cleaners/rkprfgui.com

Just download and run that little application and it'll check your PC for Sony's rootkit and any viruses that might be trying to exploit it. Problem solved.

Mind you, it's disgraceful that Sony would endanger the actual LEGIT users of their music like that. Not that I'm one to talk, I've never bought an album from Sony, BMG, Arista or any other publisher owned by them, but I have bought other Sony products, such as a Playstation, countless games, various peripherals (like TV's or whatever) and so on, however I personally wont ever buy ANYTHING from Sony ever again.

Oh and if it makes you feel any better, Sony filed a patent a few weeks ago which basically gives them exclusive rights to a way of "assigning" a piece of software to one system and one system only. (Basically, a sort of code is placed on a Disk. When that code is read, it's burned off the disk and the code is stored on the console itself). What does this mean in plain English? Only that you'll never be able to trade in your old PS3 games when you're done with them. Still want a PS3?

Sony can go and die.

And I'm straight

Hmm, this is the latest entry I've made in a while.
Anime Society today had the lowest turnout ever, like 6 people showed up or something which was a shame, because it was bloody funny. It was actually one of the most fun  ones yet, even though the Anime we watched (some weird thing about some princess loosing feathers) was supposed to be serious, there were just so many ways to take the piss. I mean come on, when someone says "the princess has lost something very special" how the hell am I supposed to resist making a comment? >_>

I have a MUCH bigger penis than him

Someone made a Yumeria game...

If this means nothing to you, don't worry.

Anyhoo, things are going all right at the moment. There are still a few teething problems here and there, but what's important is that I don't actually care, I'll just get on with things and enjoy life. If someone wants to be an idiot, fine by me, I'm just going to go on and not get strung up on it ^_^

For some...REALLY odd reason not yet explained, Uber will NOT connect to the University's Ethernet connection.
It just reported that it couldn't connect. I even bought a new NIC and still the problem persisted.
Even the tech guys from the Uni (who actually seemed to know their shit) had no clue as to what the problem was, but I found a solution.
I hooked up the wireless card in my Laptop and created a sort of mini wireless network between it and my PC.
This means the internet goes into Hiromi and then is wirelessly transmitted to Uber. Score.
Oh and quite funny, when I first turned on the Wireless card in Uber, it detected another wireless network similar to my own (as in it was a PC to PC network and not one created with a router) only it was completely unsecured. What's more, both people had enabled file and printer sharing on a bunch of folders.
Naturally, I had a little sniff around and would you believe it, someone who had named their computer "ANAKIN" had the Sims 2 there, just waiting to be fucked with.
So I did him a favour and deleted it, then left him a note saying he was an idiot for not having secured his network. Oh and for being a Sims fan as well. Bastard.

It's over.

This situation, the whole Kay thing. It's over. There is now absolutely no reason as to why it should ever have to be a factor in my life again. If anyone wants to continue with it, be my guest but don't do it here, don't involve me, don't come anywhere near me with it. This has caused me a lot of pain, a lot of friends and a lot more besides. It has haunted me for over a year and now it's going to end.
I no longer want it to keep cropping up just when my life is going well, I no longer want to feel guilty because some innocent party got caught in the middle, friend or not. I no longer want to be in the middle of a debate between 2 people, even if it's me they're fighting about. I just want it to be over. And this is the last time it will ever be mentioned. This is the last time I will let myself get affected by it. In future, all my actions will happen regardless as to what this situation would dictate. If I have to go into a room that Kay or someone that doesn't like me is in, then I'm going into it, but right now that's not likely to happen outside of lectures and maybe the Anime society if I keep going. And that's how it will stay. If anyone has ANYTHING to say, say it now, here, in this thread. If anyone else mentions anything to do with this later on, their post will be deleted and they will be banned from this LJ. It's harsh, yes, but I am putting a fucking stop to this one way or another because in the space of a couple of days I lost a VERY good fucking friend over it and that is not going to happen again.

To anyone who got caught up in this or affected by this in any way, shape or form, I apologise for whatever actions I did that caused it.
