King Geek (or is it Geek King?)

Okay, i been youtubing alot today and came across a few computer tutorials, where the user uses screen capture software - for those who don’t it basically records everything on your screen - and then they start off and you have some 13 year old american who thinks he’s amazing, telling you how to do this, “just open firefox and o what i have a update o lol sorry about this” we then sit and watch this guy do it!

I mean come on, its very very simple! Do whatever  you wanna show first make sure everything works, shut down all your other rubbish thats running! Then click record!

Its a very simple process…

Okay im gonna go try and find some decent software to make some youtube videos of a crap and hopefully amusing nature.

Cya

DAN!

Random thought for today, I have noticed something about films and TV shows.

Why is it that the evil organisations put their logos on everything?! I mean they want to keep a “low-profile” and yet when you look at it their secret logo is on everything they do.

Any access card, EVERY floor has some huge mural or pattern on it in the shape of the logo, every wall ceiling and vehicle.

I mean WHY!!

Random though

“Day one in the big wide world, and Dan has had loads of fun… no just kiddin’”

 You may have guessed from the title at the first sentence it wasn’t good.

 I get there…. Well i say “there” i mean the address i have had on my form… and the big sign saying Silly you, We’ve moved! to then go to the new address.

 Small company with about 10 employees, with lots of large printers…

 I did some erm coping… IE put sheets on top type quantity press green button… WOW YAY (can you see the sarcasm dripping off those words?)

90% of my time was doing… well nothing! it was a situation of there was no work for us to do, but we couldn’t actually do nothing!

GRRrr! it pointless, they have no work to do at all and its just coping

 And our jobs so far has been defined as empty the bins at the end of the day, hover and o the best making tea/coffee.

Now i suddenly realise all my posts are probably going to fit into the ranting category…

 Day 2 is soon to come…

ok. here it goes. “The big wide world”

 at least thats what the leaflet said… im joking… it’s not that big.

 Ok so i am set for work experience next week. one week of erm fun… ¬.¬

 If anyone could try and explain how Programming, Computing, Webcoding and everything along those lines turns into me getting a place at a Printing firm i will never know.

So far i am not looking forward to this, i have to get up early get on some bus, and go somewhere and then try and find my way from the bus stop to this place… i hate this its rubbish why can’t i do work experience for “Working from home” i would like that. and atleast i could earn money for the work i do.

Anyway i feel very disapointed in myself really with my blog. its erm dead. and probably no one will even read this but hey… it just takes up my server space and bandwidth what do i care! Lol

I am hoping the work experience will give me something to write about so i will keep you posted on what i do and how much it sucked… or you never know i could enjoy it…

 We shall see… or at least i will and who ever botherd to read this far.

The only thing i am looking forward to is the Concert i am going to on Friday!

i will be seeing Bowling For Soup, Blood Hound Gang, Zebrahead and Army Of Freshmen.

I like bowling for soup so it should be good.. and who knows i might even get autographs! woot

GrrRRRR - AaAAAACHE *COUGH* *SPLUTTER*

*die*

Illness sucks.

 This is now my second and final day off school, i have a harried cough thing and according to the nurse (after a good grope) tells me its Viral… great..

“Anti-bio-tics don’t work on viruses” - OK.

“Anti-bio-tics don’t work on viruses” - Yes i know…

“Anti-bio-tics don’t work on viruses” - OK I GET IT I KNEW IT SINCE YEAR 7!!! STOP SAYING IT YOU SILLY WOMAN JUST LET ME LEAVE!

 The nurse must have said it at least 5 times… Grrrr

Bloody sucks, feverish… one minute I’m dripping next I’m in blankets in bed. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (more…)

Ok i warn readers now this will be slightly a rant, but hopefully will also act as a warning.

Firstly i would like to explain a bit about HTTPS and to try and clear up some misunderstandings a lot of people seem to have about it.

HTTPS:// which stands for Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol Secure, which is a secure connection between you and the server. HTTPS is NOT a protocol in it’s self. HTTPS is exactly the same as HTTP except it has a extra layer of “security” called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). When comparing HTTP and HTTPS the only “physical” difference is HTTPS uses a different TCP port (usually 443) where as HTTP uses 80 (or 8080 depending on server set up).

SSL was developed by Netscape for you guessed it sending files and information via the web (more…)

Okay, now i was working on a rather long (and illiterate) post where i basically praised it… and said how much i like it…

 Ok here’s my problem. because i have Vista installed on a partiton small drive because i prefer it this way so when i mess up i dont lose everything..

 Well, like i did when i had XP if i got any space issues i Compress the drive…. in the process it throws up those few files which cant be compressed i say ignore and continue.. it finishes i have a bit more preathing space and alls well..

Hey, i was trying to think of something to write about, and then a conversation i had with a American a while ago, which to say the least was scary!

This guy was talking, and i wasnt really listening an then he starts asking me about Britain, it’s politics and all that.

 He moved on to asking some ridiculous questions like “Do you have freedom of speech in the UK?” and “Are you free to choose your religion?”

 I am seriously hoping i have met a freak (talking in statistical terms) with regards to Americans, or do ALL Americans believe they are the only nation with freedoms?
