What is Second Life?
Aug 24th
Its funny you know. I spend a lot of my time online in Second Life. I’m constantly getting asked by people out in the Real Life what Second Life actually is, and I still can’t give an answer to that I’m satisfied with. I can’t really convey to people that don’t use it just what…
419′ers finally get some imagination
Aug 23rd
I’d pretty much written 419′ers off as being completely unimaginative. Seems to me that ever scam for years now has always presented itself much the same. Dude worked for some high up organisation or government, had hidden a lot of money and wanted help getting the money out of the country. This, on the other…
Another free energy crackpot surfaces
Aug 22nd
And yet again, another company that believes it has broken the laws of physics and can produce energy from nothing. :-) An Irish company has thrown down the gauntlet to the worldwide scientific community to test a technology it has developed that it claims produces free energy. The company, Steorn, says its discovery is based…
New Blogger Beta
Aug 16th
So I’m looking at all these great new features that are coming in the new Blogger and suddenly, theres not much point in keeping the blog hosted here at stevesramblings.com ;-) Okay, thats not entirely true, but the majority of the really useful features will be only available to Blog*Spot hosted blogs, which is a…
Busted! Shouldn’t have used text messages
Aug 10th
HAHAHA :-) Yeah, this actually made me laugh. :-) A young couple’s dream of settling in New Zealand after emigrating from Britain is in tatters after the woman was mailed a birthday present – the class A drug cocaine. Lynsey Claire Reader, 26, originally from Croydon in south London, is serving a three-month jail sentence…
Bumping makes most locks almost pointless
Aug 7th
Well… This is frightening in its simplicity. I’m suprised its taken over a year for it to become more widespread, but at the same time I’m kind of glad. Just when you thought your house was safe eh? :-) Simply put, it is possible to make a master key for almost any lock in the…
Updated/Fixed something that wasn’t broke, but broke anyway
Aug 7th
A little strange, but oh well. For some reason the post about F1 didn’t publish last night when I hit publish, even though in the posts lists it was marked as published. Meh, rectified now. :-) Also, as an aside, I’ve turned commenting back on for those that have told me the forums suck and…
FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aug 7th
Oh, what a cruel, cruel race!!!! Ferarri’s stupid tactics cost them first place, and Heidfield’s shit passing cost them any points at all that might damage Alonso!!! There is no way Alonso will not complete the rest of the season’s races and when Schumacher lost his steering… I didn’t even stick around to watch the…
Honey, break out the tin foil! We’re making hats!
Aug 4th
So I was talking with Stuart in Second Life the other night (another person I’ve managed to get hooked) and the discussion of travel came up. I mentioned that the likelihood of me getting to the UK were pretty slim now days and almost impossible for me to get to the US. Why? e-Passports. Before…
Tazzy Prisons Seek NZ Help?
Aug 4th
Risdon Prison houses some of Australia’s most notorious criminals and has come under fire for some time for its deteriorating condition and antiquated facilities. NZ Corrections chief Barry Matthews said yesterday that the Tasmania Prison Service had sought between 12 and 16 Corrections officers to share their expertise and help with the transition between the…
