I live in Arbroath. I work in Dundee. Therefore I have to travel along the A92 everyday to get to work. Now the A92 was upgraded a couple of years ago to be a dual carriageway, possibly in time for and because of The Open in Carnoustie, I’m not sure. Don’t get me wrong; I was expecting [...]

When you see a headline that reads Woman Jailed for Testicle Attack you’ve really got a duty to have a sneaky peaky at the story. It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a [...]

A petition has been started to change the ridiculous Tiswas/Live & Kicking logo for the London 2012 Olympic campaign. Please sign it and help get this embarrassing piece of brain-splurge removed from history. Update: Thanks to everyone who signed the petition. Almost 50,000 signatures speaks volumes. I have decided to close the petition as it [...]

When I get home from work, my wife usually has a “quiz show” on the telly. The name of that “quiz show” is Eggheads. <rant> The basic concept is that there are two teams. One team is some nobody, part-time, Friday night pub quiz team from somewhere in the UK. The other team, after whom the show [...]

I was reading the BBC News today, and came across this story. Now, I’ve already made my feelings quite clear over this. You, as an internet user, must take responsibility for your use of the internet, and that that responsibility must include a minimum level of proven understanding and awareness.

Now I don’t want to seem insensitive to the person who died after the most recent train crash in the UK, but I was abit worried about one of the findings in the preliminary accident report. A preliminary probe into a fatal high-speed train crash focused on a pair of points just ahead of the [...]

The Euro model will be designed differently from the US and software will take over some of the functionality that was originally taken care of by dedicated chips. Dedicated chips cost a bit more than software so Sony is actually skimping its EU customers despite charging them more. But the result is that if EU [...]

We thought it was about time to clear the “Take the Piss out of Gary‘s Pronunciation” whiteboard, so here are all of the sayings so far… “forward-slange” (forward slash) “orthurised” “klekshun” (collection) “widify” / “widify to the max” “deletify” “amendicate” “rehearsificate” “specsification” [sic] “remembrin” (remembering) “krodid” (corroded) “eastrin” (eastern) “modrin” (modern) “ire-in” (iron) “modrit” (moderate) [...]

This isn’t so much a PlayStation 3 hack as it is a Linux operation. The process, as outlined by author “hacked2123,” involves decoding and ripping movies from Blu-ray (or HD-DVD) discs onto a Linux-based PC, and then re-encoding the files into an unencrypted MPEG format that could be played on the PC, or further tinkered [...]

Now if you’v read my blog, you know I’m no fan of the PS3. That fact I live in the UK also means that, price-wise, I expect to be ripped off left, right and centre. So when I saw this, I thought that this must be about the epitomy of why we get pissed off. [...]
