Yeah, enough of that stuff. I haven’t been on the website in a very long time it seems because when I entered the website address the banner still said “For Nintendo Gaming, Tech News and Podcasting Advice”, the main problems with that banner is that I am no longer a follower of nintendo since I traded all of my nintendo consoles in and got better ones, PS3 and then a 360 for Christmas, so now I’m going to offer stuff about the PS3 and 360. The next problem is that none of the podcasts I have ever done have been successful and I have now given it up due to having a life, exams and various other things. As for the website I have a feeling that my domain ownership thing expires either this month or next month which is fine, I feel like overhauling the blog, maybe changing the name or something and I’m going to make a new banner and try and post more stuff.

And soon I’m going to be building a new PC, I’m just sourcing the parts and then it’s all go.

So watch out for changes in content and the look of the blog.

Now, tell me what you think of those.

I saw this and thought “well thats crap!” and I went onto my summary and in my local area I should be getting at least 2.56 mbps download speed from eircom, I should be getting 0.27 mbps upload speed from eircom. So I showed my granddad and he was also quite surprised. So I think eircom might be getting a ring soon to see about this.

I love Ubuntu very much!

And the Palm Pre is definetely coming oin the UK! It says on the o2 website that it’ll only be available on o2. So thats gonna be weird having two massive rivals on the same network. iPhone and Pre. So I’m going to do a special post when I boot Windows tomorrow. The only problems with Ubuntu, Flash and GIMP. I hate GIMP, I love Paint.net!
