    What are you up to these days?

    When I used to post on here, I was a 13-17 year old. Now I am 30 years old. I moved from the UK to Greece, I live in Athens now. I run a UK marketing agency. I have enjoyed my life so far. However I do miss the little community we had here. I have never again really been in something like...

    Hey All, Good to be Back!

    Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in a while but I was listening to 'Explosions in the Sky' and it reminded me of a thread when Vegeta discussed it so thought I'd come back and say hi. First of all, wow this isn't Halflife2.net any more. I suppose it makes sense, seems even Valve are...

    Starting your own business.

    Since I finished Uni I've been doing go no-where jobs on and off and have found problems getting a proper job. The thing is, I've never really wanted a job, the idea of working for someone else in order to make them money doesn't sit right with me. I've also spent a lot of time over the last...

    Something I'm working on

    Over the last couple of years I've found myself doing more and more writing, largely for the local student newspaper, however I've recently started a mini-novel on my experiences at University. I'm doing it more for practice than anything else, I realise the quality of writing isn't that...

    Life Without Parole

    I've been reading and thinking a lot about the American prison system recently. All its brutalities, huge sentences and semi-institutionalised rape make for disturbing reading. However, what really disturbs me, even more than the death penalty is the sentence of 'Life Without Parole'. This...

    Belgium has an awesome police force

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vih8YqnEHQ0&feature=related I don't know, but something about this video made me happy. This is how cops should behave, with unquestionable restraint there. Even on a UK cop show, they would have been far more aggressive and rude.

    Privacy Morons Prosecute Google

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10278068.stm Sounds like a total non-story and non-issue to me. No-where does the article explain exactly what they collected? Sounds to me they just noted that some networks were unsecure, it's not like they tapped peoples histories or anything.

    Ubuntu or Altnernative
