So, someone shared a link today on facebook to filldisk.com. This uses the localStorage within HTML which just fills the users disk space using a flaw within the local storage code. My chrome simply crashed (i5-2410M 2.3GHz, 6GB ram, Win7 64bit) in incognito obviously. You can read more about it here: http://feross.org/fill-disk/

Now having a Windows Phone, I looked for a mt.Gox App, and found nothing. So I decided to make one.
I have currently submitted for beta and am doing some testing. If anyone would like to test this app, please contact mtgox.dev@ganey.co.uk and I will select some people for the beta. Full release should (hopefully) be within the week.
Here are some images:
I'll update here when I have the App approval and such from Microsoft.
Edit: I have now removed this from store due to api updates and such as o...
Six Strikes is here.
Beginning today, AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon have all agreed to start spying on their users.
That's right. The US's largest Internet Service Providers are implementing a new "online infringement" plan to identify and punish, with virtually no due process, users suspected of downloading copyrighted content.
Click here to tell the ISPs: no cyber-snooping, no punitive new copyright rules.
After a year of back room dealing with the MPA...

So, I completely forgot to update my rPi.
It's been up for a while now, as you can see down the bottom left (sometimes it might display loads of errors, my regex isn't always perfect). It's been chugging away, computing small things, streaming my media around the place for me without any interventions at all.
Crontab seems to have died, however i'm hoping the update will fix this.The 100 odd updates actually saved me some space rather than used more which I guess is a good thing.
Soon I am to be...

So, I've had windows 8 professional installed on a laptop for less than a month now and guess what...
..I now join the club with the Automatic Repair Loop. From turning the laptop on, windows 8 goes straight into a "Diagnosing your PC" which takes FOREVER.
After several hours, it then states this fails, gives you some options, a command line, refresh, reset, etc. Nothing appears to work.
I tried all the command line stuff, fix MBR, chkdsk, rebuilding the BOOTREC, removing the old bootrec bla bla b...
This is another new internet privacy act. You can vote on demand progress against it, here is the info from demand progress:
Friends,
Did you hear that CISPA is back? The misguided, anti-privacy bill -- defeated last year by a huge public outcry -- has been reintroduced in Congress.
The new version of the bill would allow private companies to share our personal data with the government, other companies, and private agencies like the MPAA. Click here to join me in standing up to this ass...

So, I was having some screen issues with my HTC Mozart where unlocking was a problem, and occasional screen freezes.
After browsing through the xda-developers forums, I came across several posts which I pieced together to get my phone back to where it was.

So, bitcoins seem to now be increasing week by week on mtgox. Late last year they sat around £8 GBP, currently they stand at £17.49 around two months later. Now that, is a pretty good increase.
I'm not keen on playing with real money in a kind of stock / shares market, so I started with around £4 when the market crashed a while back, and now stand with nearly £30.
So in the small time I have been trading with bitcoins, I have learnt to understand market movements, volumes, highs, lows, all the...
For some reason my Acer aspire 5750 decided to stop working. All windows related networking died. I couldn't browse the internet, nothing would connect, except, i could ping? I don't understand it either. I could ping websites, and that was as far as my networking got, i tried wired, removing the drivers, everything, nothing worked. I've just spent the last 2 days, backing everything up, restoring the laptop to factory, and am now putting everything back.
I will be making some more interesting p...
