Bike Be Gone :(

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Went downstairs to the first floor carpark this morning to grab my bike for my morning 15min cycle into work to find that all that remained was this:

First time I have ever had anything stolen, all they left me were a few tattered remains of my bike lock as souvenirs of happier times. Looks like my journey to work got that bit longer :(

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

I know this is now a coupple of years old, but just stumbled accross it.

I have always been into the scene but from a distance, some of the stuff is ameturish, some is a programming marvel (the 4k,32k,64k comps) but this is just plain beautiful. Its a demo (all code) from ASD (look them up on youtube if you want more from them) called Lifeforce, enjoy!

Sound Cloud & Previous Mixes

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Been messing about with Sound Cloud recently, just seeing what all the audio related fuss is about and I must say its quite good. I have uploaded some of my mixes up there (not all of them as there is a size restriction on the number of uploads). I have also gone back and edited some of my old posts as the links to my old mixes no longer worked (thanks for Richard Davey for spotting that one.

Anyways, here are all my mixes done in release order (Tracklistings can be found in the post):

July 2009 – CoalescenceDownloadPost

June 2009 – IntelligenceDownloadPost

November 2007 – Future HarmonicsPost

November 2006 – Chill TripPost

June 2006 – Harmonics 2Post

May 2006 – Harmonics 1Post

Bigresource.com IS SPAM

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Thats it im angry enough with this site to actually write a blogpost about it.

Im sure if you are technical individual you have come accross this god awful site countless times. Over and over again you type in a query your problem into google, something like “php upload The connection was reset” a perfectly legitimate question and one that probably has been answered on a forum before. You then go through the google results and more often than not you come accross something like this:

You read the title thinking, oh this sounds promising, may be the same problem im having. You click it and then are presented with this:

Its at this moment you start to get that little suspicious sensation that you have been on this site before and have ended up being totally pissed off but any remember why. Anyways, you read the text, great, sounds like it is similar to my problem, so what were the suggestions of how to fix it? You scroll down imagining the answer to be down a little..

ScreenHunter_04 Nov. 01 19.17

Umm.. hmm this doesnt look like its a forum post reply.. looks like a whole nother big list of problems, perhaps I should scroll down a little more…

ScreenHunter_05 Nov. 01 19.17

Ahh these look like the responses to my question… oh wait a min they arent… hmmm so what are these? they look like more questions. So whats going on here then? There seems to be no responses to the original question, no link to the original post, nothing, so what is the point in this site and why does it rank in the top 10 of many many google search queries?

Well it seems like all it does is spam the internet with totally useless pages that google seems to rank highly, basically its SPAM and bloody anoying spam at that.

I urge everyone who has come accross this site and come to the same conclusion to report this as spam to google using the the following link:

http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html

Lets get this god-awful pointless bag-o-crap off the net once and for all!
