A fresh start

Thursday, the 4th of January, 2007 at 7:55am GMT
So the New Year is here (2007), hope everyone had a good time, didn't drink too much, didn't consume too many drugs, and didn't overspend hence putting yourself into the personal finance nightmare of bankruptcy. I mention this, as they seem to have brought this up on TV in the afternoon over the last couple of days. "Oh woe is me! I'm bankrupt! Too many choccies!"

Anyway, other news worthy of mention is the execution of Saddam and the ultimately obvious "leak" of the video to our friend, the internet. I find capital punishment despicable in all forms, but the video seemed similar in style to other manic religious killings. But hey ho, such is life I suppose.

My belief that intentionally killing other human beings causes the killers soul to be lost. Basically, if you've killed another human, you have no soul (if such a thing exists). Not that most killers would care about this I'm sure; soldiers may have other ideas.

And another matter, on tonights episode of Newsnight, they've pulled out the old thinly-veiled racist views of immigration. Apparently, immigration isn't as good for the economy as initially thought. Some bunch of fops have spent lots of taxpayers money to work out that immigration benefits UK Residents by only 4 or 5 pence per day per person. Hold up, what the fuck? I wasn't aware that current residents should benefit off of the migration of non-residents to the UK. Where can I get my 5p?

What else is happening in the wonderful world of Huddersfield? Well, Celebrity Big Brother 8000 started today, and what a bunch of celebs they got! Dirk Benedict! Dirk Benedict!

Dirk Benedict!

It's not too bad, don't like the WAG they got though, Teddy Sheringhams (is that really his name, and have I spelt it right? I don't care either way) money-spending celebrity tittie-showing brainless bird.

UK TV Channel, Channel 4, have released the Beta version of 4oD (4 on Demand), it requires the use of IE (urgh fuck!) as it actually uses MS .NET (urgh fuck!) as a way of keeping their greasy mitts upon the videos. Yes, it is all DRM'ed up to fuck, but they do have a few freebie shows to play about with. Charges for the non-free stuff is completely ridiculous, and I seriously doubt many people will go for it (99p to rent a movie, played through MS Media Player (urgh fuck!), and then it expires two days after watching it). But for the free shit, it's worth a go (UK Only - hahahahahahahaha you non-UK fucks).

One last thing, GalaxyLife, a free online game where you get a planet of your own or some shit, are now running a Beta on their game, get signed up for free in-game crap like a hoverboard and a sofa. I don't know, I haven't played it alright? I just signed up, downloaded and installed the client, and have yet to run it. But hey, it's free, and you know me, if it's free, it's for me! Obviously, my in-game character name is 'ahdkaw'.

I have since uninstalled 4oD, simply because it increase boot up time of my system twofold. It would also start automatically, and no options exists within the software to disable at startup. Even removing the Run registry key fro the current user doesn't stop it from loading. It were crap anyway.

Have you played Galaxy Life yet?

Not really 'played' as it's not quite at that stage yet.

I have had one 'test' sent to me which I failed to complete, but the devs did respond to my problems personally, which is nice of them.

As is mentioned, GL is in Beta at the moment, and when they say "Beta" they definitely mean it.
