Mini Stormtrooper images

ub3rg33k

As some of you may have seen on Facebook and Twitter that I’ve been messing around with a number of Star Wars action figures. These in particular and a couple of stormtroopers, and an R2D2 unit (this is what happens when a 35 year old goes shopping after a couple of beers). I’ve also been after an opportunity to put the iPhone 4’s camera to work. All the images below are shot with the iPhone 4’s 5 megapixel camera. Now I wish I could take credit for the idea, however there are a lot smarter people on the internet, with … Continue reading Mini Stormtrooper images

ted (Television Episode Downloader)

If you are anything like me (and god help you if you are :)), and use the internet as a PVR, then this software will be a god send to you. I’ve just recently ordered a Mac Mini to replace my last remaining Windows machine, and thought I’d better check if I could still do what I do now. Currently my Dell machine, sits in the corner, and is used as my media server, my iTunes server and my torrent machine. Currently I have uTorrent installed, which downloads each episode using the RSS Feed option. Each of the RSS feeds … Continue reading ted (Television Episode Downloader)

How to hide items on your Facebook news feed

ub3rg33k

Ok, just a quick blog post, but some people may find this useful . If you are like me and have a number of friends of facebook that play a lot of the facebook apps such as Farmville, Mafia Wars, Cafe World, etc and tend to hit the publish button every time they fire up the game, or what seems like every 30 seconds, your Facebook news feed, like mine can get a little crowded. You could un-friend them, but that’s not very friendly, and if they enjoy playing the games, and I’m sure they have other friends that may … Continue reading How to hide items on your Facebook news feed

Ninjas Vs Zombies

ub3rg33k

Well, I’m honored to say, that I have finally seen the one of my most anticipated films of this year. This film is brought to you by the guys over at the Suckcast podcast. Just a little history before we start on the film, I was made aware of the Suckcast podcast when they tweeted the RedDwarfForum twitter account saying they were liking the ScutterCast podcast, back then we were getting quite a lot of flak due to poor editing, poor preparation, and just generally doing a poor podcast. I initially assumed that it was somebody else taking the piss … Continue reading Ninjas Vs Zombies

Ok, I’m a little sad, ever since the WWDC I’ve been counting down the days until the version 3.0 software for my iPod Touch. Today as most of you are aware is d-day. I’ve spent the day checking the net to see if it’s out, but to no avail. 5.30pm came, I got myself home in record time, sync my iPod, hit Refresh of the update page….and got the, the latest firmware is 2.2.1…Booo ! Had a quick look on twitter, and and there was a tweet from TrekkyGeek to suggest the firmware wouldn’t be out till around 9pm. Great … Continue reading iPod Touch OS3.0 First Impressions

ScutterCast

ub3rg33k

Apologies for no posts for a while, however I’ve been mad busy on one of my other projects. About a month ago, myself and a couple of my resident posters over at Red Dwarf Forum decided it was time to do a Red Dwarf based podcast. We’ve been discussing who will do it, what we’ll talk about for a while, and last Monday we recorded the first episode. The podcast itself took about 5/6 hours to edit together, which for me was quite good, as I’m still quite new to all this podcasting stuff. Below is the software I’ve used … Continue reading ScutterCast

FAIL !

ub3rg33k

Well, due to having 8 days of constant drinking, myself and C thought it would be a good idea to have some time off the beer, so we would be “normal” for when we went back to work. As per my last post, we bought the “Where in the movies”, and decided if it only gets 4.5 out of 10, then the only try way to test it, would be to get drunk, lol ! As we seemed to still have 8 cans on Magners Cider in the outside fridge, we decided to get a 10 pack of Bud, and … Continue reading FAIL !
