The original video.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
I saw this Japanese film during the week. I loved it, totally out-there scenario's and visuals but with a very easy to follow story line.
2 x 500GB MyBook's
I remember how excited I was when I got my first 1GB harddrive. That was about 10 years ago, I still have it in fact.
Dell Inspiron 8200 RAM Upgrade
From 512MB...
... to 1024MB
Its been needing this upgrade for a while now, its a pity the DVD drive bust itself soon afterwards. I can see this laptop just being one big expense, mind you, its lasted more than 4 years now so thats fairly good going.

Isn't it interesting how interesting some seemingly uninteresting items turn out to be interesting... Isn't it!?
Worst Mobile Internet? I'll give you "3" guesses!
I switched from O2 billpay to 3pay a few weeks back. I had grown tired of paying money for something I didnt use and the promise of 5c multimedia messages was very appealing and their mobile internet seemed the best, so i made the big switch. I bought myself an N73 to got with the 3 simcard and I was already for the road to "the best Mobile Internet in Ireland". Well holy god, how wrong I was!
First of all, you can't use your 3pay 3G connection with your PC. No biggie, it would have been a nice bonus but whatever. It then soon turned out that you cant use the 3G connection on even your phone! First of all, you need to buy mobile credit. Ok, €6 for 30 days of 100MB seemed ok. I buy it and navigate to my blog. Whats this!? I now see a page telling me to prove I'm not a preteen looking at Bukakke on my mobilephone!? I find out that you need to verify your age, a "painless" process which involves you registering at the shop you bought the mobile from.... oh no it doesnt! You have to do this at an official 3 Store, which are far and few between. Since I was away from Cork at the time, this meant a 100k+ drive. I did so and registered my name age and other bollocks (youd think porting a number from a post pay account wouldnt need this extra registration process). So here I go, Mobile Internet baby!!! WTF!? I'm still not verified? I go back again and register a second time. According to 3 as of today, I'm still a preteen so I've just given up on trying to prove otherwise.
The reason I'm not so pushed about continuing this endeavor is because from what I've seen of the 3 network I'm not so sure I want to sign upto this shite.
Oh dear, looks like theres been a minor fault!
Oh uh, the problem is still there but at least the 3 Team are fixing it as we speak... god speed you guys!
A TCP error? How exotic!
Oops, looks like you're on the 3 network!
What the fuck are you talking about!? Theres an add on TV with some cunt on a train chatting to all his MSN chums on his N73.
From the three.ie website... ah my mistake, I must not have an N73 then cos my phone looks nothing like that one in the picture! [thats the N70 btw]
The N73 can't handle Java games? Riiiight!
I am using my 3 handset you fucking muppet!
In retrospect, I should have never trusted the censorship terms of a company based in a country that banned google. The 5c picture messages are very good though.
EDIT: How could I forget this point! Most amazingly, you can't access gmail from your mobile. What a service, what a fucking service. I guess its true what they say about "Made in China" then.

Gerry Ryan on Manhunt 2
So Gerry Ryan was praising the actions of the Irish censorship board when they banned Manhunt 2 this week. He said the idea of such a game was appalling, he felt it would do nothing but make all those nut jobs out there go a little nuttier and start stabbing people. Is this the same Gerry Ryan who only 2 weeks earlier defended the rights of children to play with toy guns? Ridiculing anyone who said they would wrap a childs mind and make them more prone to violence? Of course it was, afterall this was the same Gerry Ryan who wanted to give Chris Morris 39 lashes after the Brasseye special on paedophilia was aired and then 2 years later said it was the best thing he ever watched!
All in all I agree with the ban because the first one was complete shite. Boring pre canned sequences of death and gore. Postal 2, now theres a game!

Picture of the Week
Any body use *shudder* iGoogle? Why the fuck did they have to change the name to iGoogle, now I feel like a knob everytime I goto my personalised homepage... anybody use the themes? I thought they were a pile of shit when they first appeared but now the seasonal one cheers me up everytime I see it. It changes every little while, and it's so surprising how chirpy I get seeing what freddie the frog and leelu the ladybird (my own names) are getting upto. I'm a softy at heart, that or I'm mental... eitherway I'm smiling :)
And look at the little patch of shrooms google put in the middle of the scene, right under the search button. Terence McKenna would be thrilled: Psilocybin, bringing gifts of knowledge.
Sophie Ellis Bextor: Hot or Not?
Sophie Ellis Bextor has a new album out, "Trip the Light Fantastic", and tis the shiz! Seriously fab album, the closest thing youll get to the 80's this side of the millenium. Giorgio Moroder styled disco monkey biscuits is one way of summing it up, one song in particular, "China Heart" sounds like it could have been on the American Gigolo soundtrack. Some might scoff at the comparison but some might not, and others will ask, whats a Giorgio Moroder?
Of course the real question being asked is whether Bextor is still hot or not after coming out of such a long hiatus. One things for sure, she's not been eating cream buns in all that time, in fact I wonder if she's been eating at all! So lets start with some stills from the latest videos.
Things dont get off to a great start in the "Catch You" video... a touch of the nosferatu's about the poor dear.
Oh my, things suddenly get worse...
The same video, but it seems the magic of the hair is working.
Yes, yes, we're really cooking now!
Whoops, spoke too soon... Elvira has discovered anorexia.
A neutral image from "Me and my Imagination". The fuller hair fills her out nicely but those hair extentions hang like dead rats from her head.
That eye shape, for me, is her most distinctive feature.
For me, I'm going with "an attractive woman who badly needs to fill up on burgers". I'm sure shes a lovely lady but that accent gets on my nerves. I lived with someone who pronounced "Ball" not 'bawl' like I, common-as-muck-man would spew it, but 'buhl' which is posh aparently. So Bextor's 'lost' pronounciation for the word "last" would cause me nothing but grief and vexation. Yep, I'm some man for the deal breakers :)

Back again
So much for blogging, it doesnt really work without an internet connection (ignoring the email from phone option). Yeah so I was house sitting for the week again, like I did last year (I'm too lazy to find the link, search for it yourself). Nothing as interesting as last years though. I promised myself I'd build a talkbox once and for all after reading Grondo's post on the item. I have everything I need bar the tube because I don't have the courage to go to a plumbing suppliers asking for a length of clear tubing, I didnt want to feel like a pervert, not this week anyway. I might just cut up the garden hose or something.
Warning, talkboxing produces humongous amounts of funk but causes blindness
Trying out some trackbacking now. By now, you've no doubt heard that Damien Mulley has had three gay-dating accounts set up by Sky Handling Partners. The plan is a major fuck up though since Damien's openly gay. Seems to me if they wanted to really have a go at him they would have set up accounts on hetrosexual dating websites! I can't wait to see how this one pans out, c'mon Mulley... err not like that :)
I finally finished Half Life 2. I say finally since I started playing it in march. It wasnt all that difficult but I only played it for a little while every weekend. I got a new super dooper gfx card last week too, which inspired me to play more often. More on this should come later, and hopefully just more of everything!

Mobile blogging: Ugly Betty
Betty: "im err... just cooking Henry dinner" Henry's ex: "oh really, well i have something in the oven too!" Best line ever! This Henry fucker is really getting on my nerves. Hes meant to be all nerdy and innocent, yet he managed to snake his micky into his ex and knock her up. Oh wait, now it turns out its not his cos she was a slut-whore, banging Bettys dentists boss at the same time as she was with Henry. Whos writes this shit? They need to kill off this henry character soon, cos its just fucking awful, along with the rest of those shitty side storys. Holy fuck, theres a hundred storys at once going on now, why do they even call it 'ugly betty' anymore? Why cant we just have more Betty & Daniel storys? Daniels brother, (whos now his sister) looks after him more than betty these days even though she hates him and betty's meant to be his PA. The story line has become more complex than LOSTs now. Cant we just go back to Betty and Daniel again, because we all know Betty's going to end up with Daniel in the end anyway.
Come on the Shinners!
Sinn Féin has said today that it will not support any Government in which Mary Harney is the Minister for Health. CaoimhmÃn O'Caolain said "The very notion and idea that Mary Harney, representative of the PDs, would continue at the helm in the health portfolio is in fact a gross insult to the Irish people who have clearly rejected the PDs."
Fair fucks to them, at least they're making the most of a bad situation.

I love browsing photobucket accounts, you can come across some absolute classic random pictures like the one above. Now, its funny as it is, but lets lolcat it a bit...
There you go, much moar lulz!
Blogger should delete inactive accounts
People still ask me what a gamma goblin is and I keep telling them I dont have a clue. Its just a random name I came up with because everything else was taken. I was looking around for some catchy blogger names for another blog I have but everything I came up with was taken. I decided to have a look around, taking totally random names and putting ".blogspot.com" after them. Every single one of them came back with blogs that havent had a post in 7 years. Most didnt even have a single post! Some to check out...http://scooter.blogspot.com/

Jack Lynch Tunnel Boy Racer Videos
Pity they blew all their money on "Twin Cam" stickers, they could have bought a decent camera.
The speed, the speed!
Fedde Le Grand - Talentless
And there I was thinking he had some musical ability when it turns out that he's just another time-stretch monkey. Even the beeps and whizzes are from the original. "Featuring Camille Jones"... featuring!? Its her song, just speeded up! Christ!
And she's lovely too! :)
Jack Lynch Tunnel Lights
Jesus Christ man! Its brighter than the sun in one side of the Jack Lynch tunnel! There must be at least 1.21 Jiggawatts of light in there, I like it though. Now all we need is a truck to smash all the lights in the other side.
Re: The Above Image... A Texas driver who failed to heed height warnings on the New Jersey side of the Lincoln Tunnel early Thursday reached Manhattan to find that his truck's top had peeled back. The tunnel also suffered damage.

Someone in RTE with a sense of humor
Someone took a still from the footage of Mary Harneys victory celebrations and used it for a news article on the RTE website. Out of all the frames they could have chosen, they chose the best!
I always knew Mary had a way with words but I never knew how much of a cunning linguist she was.
