iPhone Sim Unlocker Software

I personally don't have an iPhone but I saw a sim unlocker for download which people said was a trojan.  And I haven't seen NOD32 warn me about any viruses, so I thought it was about time I downloaded a virus.

Glad to see it works.

Be wary of iPhone Sim Unlocking software.  You may get infected if you don't.

Although most people who will be looking for s

Crystal Palace vs Watford (A) - 19th April 2008

Championship highlights of Watford vs Crystal Palace.

Started to learn Zend

I have a couple of projects to do which involve fairly dissimilar functions but I thought it would be a good idea to use a framework rather than rely on my rather poor code. I have always been able to get my code to work but I am sure it was always open to SQL injections and ways around my validation but they did work and were never really put out in the wild with thousands of people to use.

But things have changed now, and I have 2 major projects to do with another in the pipeline.

Global Warming - Turn the heat up?

Ah...global warming.  You can't deny it is happening.  Hell, it's been happening for the last what, 14,000 years or so?  Is it really a bad thing?

One can only assume that as the last ice age ended and temperatures started to rise, life was able to flourish.  This mean a large incline of new creatures on the planet.  This means more resources are being used and more waste produced.  I am not even talking about humans here.  What about all the other animals that cover the planet.  All the methane and CO2 they produce would of been huge.  At the very most the industrial age would of only increased the acceleration of this global warming.

Is it a bad thing?

All you see on the news and media is how global warming is going to kill everyone and everything on the planet.  Is there actually any proof for this?  What happens when your fridge or freezer gets too much ice in it?  You defrost it.  It makes it a lot more efficient.  Perhaps the earth could be seen as a large fridge being defrosted to make the planets eco system more efficient.

You can't go on about the save the polarbear's crap.  They live there, that's their problem.  Mammoths used to live in the large sections of the earth covered in ice and are now extinct.  That is fair, they had large woolly coats on.  Once the planet warmed up they had no use for the wool and couldn't exactly pop in to a hair dressers.

Sea levels are supposed to be ever rising from the ice bergs melting.  You will always see dramatic images on the news of ice falling in to the water from giant icebergs.  Yes, that is what happens in the summer.  They aren't going to show you pictures from the winter are they?  Where it is a cold bitter white wilderness that hardly anything can survive in.  Turn the heat up a bit then the animals don't have to be lazy buggers and sleep all winter.  All we get is a few extra days of working to celebrate the birth of a fictional character from one of the biggest selling books of all time.

Big Mistake...

Frustration

By far the most frustrating animated gif that has found it's way on to the net.

Be There - I'll be there in 5 minutes when the page loads

UK ISP Be have been well known over recent years for a very good ISP. Owned by O2, Be offer up to 24MB Internet. Of course this varies depending on how far you are away from the exchange and the quality of the cable from the exchange to the household.

As of late, problems have been arising. They started off with disconnections that could last up to 6 hours. Often resynching at 50% the speed that it should be. This continued for a week. Of course, I didn't just stay quiet. I sent a ticket using Be's online ticketing system for members. I stated the problems that I had been having as well as a list of things I had tried, such as:

  • Unplugging all phones from the sockets.
  • Trying a different router.
  • Changing microfilter.

Also seeing in to the future, I stated that I had no BT test socket.

But none of this helped.

So what did Be recommend?

Google doesn't know best

It appears Google isn't flawless. On their Google Analytics page they seemed to have mixed up their languages.

When settings the language to English (UK) on the Google Analytics website, it seems to think that the British speak Russian.
