Sociology Essay

Ok. First of all I rarely mention my studies here. I don’t know why. Maybe because they have a rather somber tone and I sometimes wish to distance myself from them altogether. Anyway .. here’s the deal right now ..
I still haven’t completed the Methodology I course from last semester. Same goes for social psychology […]

Darth Vader in the flesh

News.com.au: Darth Vader’s face revealed
As you can see this is a pretty slow sunday. The link is a couple of days old and only nerds need apply. Apparently this picture was asked to be taken down from many of the fan sites, including TheForce.net.

Underworld update

It bombed. Big surprise. Metacritic puts it on the same level as Charlie’s Angels and Tomb Raider. Darn.

SUPRNOVA and BitTorrent on MSN

TV fans download shows from Net. What a shocker. But they do make one interesting point. Broadcasting companies do not seem to bother with this phenomena. At least not to the extent that the music industry is currently doing.
The really strange thing is that the article explains in detail how to jump on […]

Aura Communications Headset

I predict that this will be a hit with nerds all over the globe. And privacy loons as well. Basically what Aura has done is to perfect a technology known as magnetic induction. The advantages of this compared to current RF solutions include Lower Power Consumption, Greater Reliability and Higher Frequency Reuse.

- New underground environments from volcanic lava […]

Games: Homeworld 2, Jedi Academy, Chrome

Homeworld 2 has been gold for quite a while now. Greetings go out to Razor1911 for giving us this release. They have been kind of busy lately, haven’t they …
The demo that I played a couple of weeks ago was impressive so I expect no less from the final product. Some might argue that not […]

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-039

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-039: Buffer Overrun In RPCSS Service Could Allow Code Execution
Who knows what this can do but after seeing so many of my friends and co-workers fall to the Blaster worm I patched up the minute I found this. Last time I was lucky. I applied the patch the same morning as the […]

CV and recruiting basics

Via FARK: ‘Weird’ hobbies turn off recruiters (BBC)
ROTFL! Stuff like this really makes my day. Especially the part about the student who listed his rank in the Klingon space navy. And even I must agree that “ferret racing”, “samurai sword collecting” or “an interest in guns” are bad choices for hobbies to mention.

GW Syndrome 2 .. Here we go again …

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for has finally come. I’m referring to Gulf War Syndrome #2 of course. The single most talked about feature of the last excursion to Iraq is back it seems.
Prime suspects this time around: Anthrax vaccination and Depleted Uranium. Gee. What a shocker. Looks like we […]
