Ok Imageshack has this new feature of zooming into the thumbnails and other what-not nonsense. So you want to see the full size image you have to click on the thumbnail before it changes into the yellow frog pic. Otherwise you'll have to wait a few secs before it starts over again.

Social Experiment part 3.

Well I decide that my experiment went fairly well. Am sure at least 200 over 
people have now heard my Remix without me needing to advertise it.

The song am talking about is TISM - Everyone has had more sex than me. (Girlrage Remix)

Basically, I wondered how the song would sound like a girl rage group sang it. I won't put the torrent here but if you're interested in my masterpiece (hahaha) you can google for it or check out any major torrent site and you're see it there.

Edit: deleted the original post cuz the html was messed. So i reposted again. 

Social experiment part 2.

Well I said I was gonna put up the name of the file but I changed my mind. I think I'll only do that come the passing of a week. The good news is that the files is now on Google and search results hits several major torrent sites.

Social experiment.

I wanted to see exactly how far can a file, torrented from scratch, will propagate. Of course what I did was remix a bit a fairy well known song from an Aussie group. Created the yesterday 10:34 GMT+8 15 Nov. Uploaded it sometime around 11pm - 1am to several torrent sites. I will seed it for 24hrs so around 12am 17 Nov am gonna stop and see just how many people download the song. How many people commented on whether they like it or not.

Come the deadline I'll post up the name of the song so you guys (whoever is reading this) can go download the song and tell me what ya think. :)

Ahhh if you love drama and mystery anime.

'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni' is total mind fuck. Based on a game it follows chapters of what happens when you screw up in the game. That is my theory since I have only watched up to epi 10 and 4 epis per chapter. Each chapter ends badly so I presume the last chapter is where you sovle the game correctly to have a 'happy' ending. The anime is really a blast and well subbed by both 'Ayu' and 'We are IN Denial - WIND'.

Watch it from the sheer creepiness factor and great story. Voice actors here really gave some of the best performances. Hahaha, if any girl in real talks to me like they do when the 'creep factor' is on I tell you this; I may not be able to sleep at night.

Update: I see there are 20 epis and from what it looks like 4 chapters to one of the 4 girls. Since I bet choosing any of the 4 girls to investigate leads to bad endings and horrible/sad background stories about them then the real culprit should be actually outsider of that circle of friends. The cop maybe? Since you do see him in everyone of the chapters so far. Or is it deeper than that.

Dude I have the same prob.

As promised to Ming here are some of my old articles. I'll post another 2 more next week.

VAIN Emergency System

So I was thinking of a good system that emergency services can use in times of natural disasters, fires, rescue, etc. called Video Audio Interface Network Emergency System.

Basically the hardware needed for this is:

Foldable 15-20 feet transmitting antenna.
Laptop for communications.
Handphones with extreme battery life and video recording.
Small 5-6 feet relay antennas that run a bateries.

How this is done is the team sets up a command centre with the large antenna and the laptop hooked up.

Every man has a handphone with a special sim card that can be switched to the VAIN cell network from the normal normal networks.

Once this is done emergency service member spread out to cover the location bringing along the relay antenna should the coverage of the main antenna not reach certain area. The relay antenna relay and boost the signels from the handphones.

With that emergency service members can give live visual and audio reports of the situation back to the command centre via the video recording feature of the handphone. This helps a in few ways: one, specialists in the command centre can give instructions to others in field concerning certain problems like poisonous gases, structual assessment, medical info, etc. Two, it allows specialists on the field to forwarded info needed by other members in other areas. Three, it can be used so that all members on the field can view and be updated live critical situations. Four, allows trapped civilians to be forwarded to a rescue member closest to them so that information can be shared in their rescue.

Basically, a scenario would like this. Person trapped in a building on fire calls for 911 for help. 911 forwards the call to the commander centre on the scene. After gathering details from the person including if possible visual information the command centre can use the relay aantennas to help triangulate the exact whereabouts of the caller. The caller can be forwarded to a rescue operative that is nearest to him or other operative incase the caller needs certain info like how to deal with medical problems or safest escape routes or even how to reach the nearest operative.

The relay antennas are meant to be disposable. But should be retrieved later either for spare parts or if in good condition, recharged and used later.

So what you all think?

Politics among gamers.

Here is a tale that should make you think about online gaming clans:

******
Shah81, let tell a little story:

I was once known as Scorp76 in that server before they had starhub host it for them.

At that time I complete all the training expect that stupid, crawl on ur ass for 10 hrs SF training. Which made me sad since then i couldnt play on any SF maps. Then when i came to the Singapore Kaos server they had SF weapons on as a forced class. Cool that quenced my thirst for the M4A1. Then I notice that the Colt shakes quite a bit. I did some research and it confirms that without SF training using SF guns worsens ur aim.

By then I was on the server for 1 weeks every day. So i searched around for a hack to auto clear the SF training. I found out that glugbot has the most painless to use bot training command of all the hacks. So i used it. Cleared the training n even up my sniper score from 37 to 40. I uninstalled the glugbot n went back to the server. PB could not detect the current glugbot at the time. So i told Photomurray about it (at that time he was not a server admin). He was a bit disappointed that i used a cheat to complete the SF training but none the less life went on. Later, got to know God Above too.

Not long Photo was given admin privileges which soon after we go on TS together to help ghost against the other players in Urban Assault. Especially, against Milokaw. All through that time I urged them to install glugbot so they can see how it works n then identify other players that use it by the way they play.

Glugbot btw has wallhack, aimbot, nade distance indicator among other stuff. So basically, players that sit far back getting headshots with 1-2 bullets r suspect. Or players that stand behind a wall n move their rifle in such a way that they look like they r tracking another player.

Yes, Photo and God uses admin controlls to follow the opforce players they suspect of hacking through this method even though they did not bother to install glugbot to really see how a player that uses it behaves in game.

Now concerning Snake, at that time Snake used to pop up a lot in odd places in Urban killing n moving fast. This, recently when playing Boarder as it came out, i realised is the same tactic i use too. Which is rush the weakest line of the enemy, penetrate through, then raid them (attack from the rear as they advance they positions). Of course at that time i was only like honour 35 or somthing so i didnt know that. Basically, at one point i got frustrated and Photo and God got frustrated (we use slow advance, no covering of the rear n camp tactics which dont really work well in Urban against good players) so they said, 'do u think Snake is cheating?' I said, 'Hell yeah.' Then with that God said, 'then he is gone permanently from the server.'

Now God owns the server n runs from his house. And pays for being a honour server in AA. So basically, he could do whatever the hell he wants.

Fighting Co*k did try to appeal against the ban but he made sound like Snake was a whinning kid. So we laughed. Basically, i was in with the power group so i too abuse my standing with both admins against players that i thought hacked.

Later, I was offered admin position on the kaos server as u can see in this email here:

Hello Scorp

OK, very simple...

When you play you have a couple of options to do with players that are abusive, tk or in anyway destroy the game for others.

So let say you have found a player that is irritating and his name is godofson, you do this steps all in the console:

1: type pb_plist [brings up all connected players and their player slot. The player slot is the first number in a row.
2: type pb_kick # [the # represents the player number, take care you get right number otherwise wrong guy get kicked. Does happen..malu]

Alt to a kick if he comes back to disturb over and over:

pb_sv_ban # [the GUID of that player is kicked and banned forever]

If you made a mistake:

pb_sv_unban ********* [Unban the GUID you have banned by error. The ********* represent the name of the player]

If you have forgotten the name or it's spelling, you can tell me and I give you the last banned players and tell me who and I'll remove it manually in the .dat file.


Please do not abuse, since if they complain they come to me and I will be unable to explain unless you are on TS at the same time. But normally with any ban made by Murray I do not question why since I trust his judgement.
Also, he can reply in the forums if the banned d*** comes back. You can't since you are not registered there.


Hooah

This email has been scanned for viruses by StarHub e.Scan.

Here is an email incase from Murray or PhotoMurray to prove that yes we ghosted the hell out of a lot of players during the Urban Assault map days:

Subject: ts changes
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2006 23:20:15 +1100
hey haven't seen you on for a while. some changes on ts, user can't go out side the lobby now or send text message due to dickheads on there so now you will have to ask johan to let you register (not hard to do) then its the same as normal. you can't register without a server admin to open it for you, I'm not a server admin. Johan will have np allowing you but you have to be there so he can do it. just to let you know that its not a problem on your side or with ts. dickheads that were spaming and finding ways around there bans are to blame, as always dickheads f*** it up for us all. Hey flash you soon.
Murray
p.s. thought you might get a laugh out of this pic.

I was admin for about a month, i was even inform through TS since we talked mostly in there that if i thought Dawenzi or Milokaw were cheating to boot their asses from the server. I never abused this as i realise just how power crazy the Kaos clan is especially God n Photo. Only ppl i did finally boot r the ones that broke the no swearing rule after 3 warnings.

So i was admin for about a month then PB found one f***ing glugbot file that stayed in the system (an ini file named as glugbot, and yes i actually show it but since it didn't have the exe file for it i thought it really wouldnt be able to run at all or consider a threat but pb just picks up any files even if the all the important system files to run glugbot was removed) even though i uninstalled the program.

So i told them, 'yeah i did tell u had glugbot installed to complete SF training.' N they all go, 'yeah but no. But yeah but no.' N being abusive. Then i told them, 'If i was using glugbot i wont be letting that f***ing Milokaw n Dawenzi noob my ass like i was some 4th grade kid teething on a mouse.' (Well it was less colourful than that but u get the point.)

So I got MAC banned on the server. Only recently when i got a new mobo i decided to create a new account, glugbot train it to pass SF n play again.

And that is the whole sordid story.

Yes that makes me fairly guilty too you can read more at this link --

Damn.

Well the heatsink and fan on the Medion is crap. Barely hangs on. After a bios flash back to its real bios there was still artifacts on the screen. On the other hand the card are blazing hot. So I'm gonna ask the fella that borrowed my x700 heatsink to bring it back to me and we'll see if it is a heat prob or the card really has been fubar.

Ahhh charity.

I just received this in the mail for RM25. Now the agreement I had with the buyer was if I could fix it for him he could not sell it and had to pay me back the money I paid plus postage cost. So the problem with this little fella is that it has artifacts already on Windows login. Declocking the bugger doesn't help so I figure since on the properties readout of the card is said 9800XT instead of Medion 9800xxl the previous owner may have tried to flash the bios to o/c the card.

Of course the main problem isn't whether I can fix it. It is if I do fix it should I keep to my agreement? Ahh let you know later.

Work is never done when there are better things to do.

I gotta finish one review or article today. So it's either gonna be Hearts of Iron 2 Demo or Rise of Legends Demo or building a system for RM3000.

With that pressing down on me I also get emails from my sister containing stuff like

How singapore girls sells fruits





Or Body after 122 Years "These are the pictures of St.Bernadette who died 122 years ago in Lourdes , France and was buried, her body was only discovered 30 years ago after the church officials decided to examine her body. Her body is still fresh until today and if you ever go to Lourdes , France you can see her body in the church in Lourdes Her body does not decay because during her lifetime, the mother of Jesus would always appear to her and give messages and advice to all mankind on the right way to live on this earth. Many miracles have taken place in this place of Lourdes and still do until today.

These pictures show her body after 122 years.!!!"

Don't you love big PC Hardware reviews?

Was reading the review that VR-Zone did on the X-750F http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3363

It was a pitiful paper thin review that you can read in the toilet and wipe your ass later on it. The fact they only tested it with one game and did not mention the tactile response of the mouse's buttons or the gliding of the mouse's feet shows what a half assed team they got there. Luckily, I was more thorough in my review of the mouse for the NST.

New tricks of the trade, the backpacker way.

I notice an interesting trick that backpackers like to use in Penang to get some spare cash. At first I didn't suspect this was a trick until yesterday I saw some backpacker looking forlorn next to the ATM of my bank. So I thought this looks familar. If he ask me for money after I draw out some I know it's a trick.

Sure enough he did. The trick works like this: the person will sit on his ass looking sad as hell until some goes to an ATM to draw out some cash. Then life strings into him as he quotes, "Could you spare some cash, a friend gave me this bank book but it is for this bank that's in Beach Street (25mins drive from where I am) and I was told that I could come here to draw out the money. But the bank here (RHB Bank) tells me I can only draw out money at the one in Beach Street (yeah faggot cuz they are different banks). Could you lend me RM20 so I can take a taxi back to Komtar and eat something. Then I can go tomorrow (Komtar is the bus centre, it has even a free shuttle service to cater the inner town area where that bank happens to be) to the bank and then I'll pay you back. Just tell me your phone number."

He will then introduce himself and ask your name blah blah. Of course being a Penangnite, to give money from our own wallets is to draw blood from a stone. But none the less I gave him RM10 which the grateful fella replies, "What? Only RM10? I need more than that." Well fuck me. Go and ask to wash the dishes for the hawkers. And don't tell you can't cause in Penang you can't walk more than 5 mins without passing 20 hawkers or 2 coffee shops. Anyway my friend, passes him another RM10 off we go with his parting words, "I'll pay you back when I see around here again.' Of course I replied to him, "I doubt it."

With RM10 you can eat a good meal for RM5-6 or go cheap like Chicken rice for RM3.5. Get a Milo or a Coke for RM1.5 and still get the bus to Komtar for RM1.2. Then walk your lazy ass to whatever hostel you need to go to. Or park yourself on the bus bench.

Masculinity the way we see it.

Shaving is consider one of the forms of Masculinity. Man gets up, he applies on some shaving cream, whips out the old blade and begins to fight back the genes of those damn doity apes.

But really I gotta ask you, in the end of the month who shaves off more hair? A guy or a chick? Seriously, think about. Us with our face hair. Or she with her leg, arm pit, coochie other reigns?
