Ok, so whingy kiddie TheBlasphemer got my article on msnfanatic removed, so, here it is again:

Although this is all just speculation, there are two bits of evidence to back up the theory that Messenger Vision is the new name for Stuffplug. For one, it is hosted on his server, along with the stuffplug site and apatch.com (which redirects to stuffplug).
The creator of stuffplug recently had a problem with azoogle ads (awww diddums, ickle Fwanz doesn’t get to make heaps of money from getting people to install adware/spyware/smiley central anymoreee), and switched to google ads. If you look at the stuffplug.com page source, you’ll see his adsense code. If you then go to the suspected new site (Messenger Vision) you’ll find the very same code for adsense in the page source. It is definately his site, although he may scrap that design (and quite frankly, I don’t blame him) in favour of the new stuffplug design to be seen at http://stuffplug.com/new.
Lastly, he has always talked about changing the name, as he did here, and I quote: “However, I think the name StuffPlug is coming to an end.”

Of course the annoying little brat is trying to get the posts saying the above, removed from everywhere, and of course you get people who are just pathetic who think that because he makes some plugin for MsgPlus that he is God’s gift to earth, and will remove anything he asks them to.

Luckily, here at kangie.co.uk, my disclaimer kinda covers the whole issue, and I frankly couldn’t care less if he wishes to deny it.

… do pilots of Boeing 747’s, and jumbo jets in general, wear seatbelts? The average Boeing 747 goes at 580mph, so what on earth is the point of a seatbelt?! When the plane crashes, it’s not going to be a whole lot of use… And I’m not talking about proper harnesses that might be a tiny bit useful, I’m talking, what looks like a car seatbelt.

I was doing a survey online just now, and the following question came up: “Please enter your date of birth” with 3 dropdown menus: dd (day) mm (month) and yyyy (year).

Fair enough, I thought, until I get to the year bit, and it ranges from 1920-2006.
How could a person born this year be filling it out?! Newborns can’t even read, or walk so filling out an online survey is just out of the question…

People really need to pay attention to what it is they’re doing!

Why does everything have to be my fault?

A few days ago I bought techthisout.net for a nice sum and all of a sudden, I’m such a bad person for agreeing to the price the (now ex-)owner offered me…

I said I’d give him a certain amount, and he said that was too low. So I told him to offer how much he would accept for it, he did, I agreed. I sent him the money, he transferred the domain to me, and that was, I thought, the end of it all. He got the however much he wanted for the site he was gonna close down that day anyways, and I got the domain.

Now it turns out, it’s dreadful because people keep offering him 5 times what I paid, and I apparently shouldn’t have let him sell it to me for that price because it was “too low”.

Unfortunatly, I can’t have a whole lot of sympathy, I mean come on. Would you pay more than the person wanted just because you knew it was worth more?! That’s not how bargaining works…

I’ve been trying to avoid all of the World Cup, and I was doing great until last night…
There I was, on my laptop with the TV on in the background because I’d been watching something, when suddenly I realised there was some kind of commentary going on.

Up I look, and there it is, the World Cup. I scream, change channel, and the usual football free service resumes as usual.

That is, until I’m not paying attention, and the above happens again! I flick through millions of channels (all showing some match or another) until I find one that’s ok. But then it soon turns into football again…

This happened all night, so the TV is now switched off and will stay that way until I know something I know I want to watch is on.

I’m a great believer of Sod’s Law and can you blame me?

I swear everything is out to annoy me… All day I have been searching for the russian version of a t.A.T.u album, getting the english version first, then having to wait 6 hours for the proper Russian version.

Than, I wanted one of the songs in English, and it does exist in English, but guess what! I can’t find the damn thing anywhere… All the supposed English versions are the Russian version.

Now had it just been that then fair enough, I would have disregarded it as just being a bit of bad luck.

A few days ago, after being out the room, I came back in and sat down with my laptop only to discover than whilst I was signed into MSN and could use it fine, I couldn’t visit any websites. So I repair the connection, only now I can’t connect to either. So after alot of messing about, I end up having to be a new user on XP, with my old desktop and alllll my stuff in places they don’t belong.

So I thought fair enough, I keep doing what I was before it messes up, and lo-and-behold, my page-up key had magically gone haywire, and the little flashing cursor always jumps back to the beginning of what I’m typing, and I can’t scroll down at all. Nor can I click anything on my desktop. I managed to find a nice program that disables keys, so I disable the page-up/down, end and home keys.
Problem solved.

I decided to back everything up and reformat the next day, and whilst I’m waiting for stuff to copy, I’m playing some random game. “How annoying is that beeping every so often?!” I think to myself. “Who uses daft music like that anyways?”

About 2 mins after the beeping started, there was a kind of… zapping noise… and the screen went black.

Now, that beeping was the battery running out… So I try to get the charging light to come on again but to no avail! The (new!!!1111) charger had just totally died. Just like the old one did (and seriously, don’t get me started on that!)
Turns out it was still in the 60 day waranty, so they say they’ll send a new one in the next day or so.

Good thing I backed everything up, so I can listen to all my music on my other laptop.

Or so you would think… but I discovered when I went to find it that the folder aptly named “Music” kind of… wasn’t there anymore.

I can’t even begin to describe how much restraint on my behalf that it took to stop my other laptop going right out the window and/or being set on fire. Knowing my luck this week, the second option would result in burning the whole house down.

I am not having a good week…

Fathers day… a day to celebrate and thank those who have been a father figure to you throughout your life.

Now can someone please explain where cards that say: “To my Husband on Fathers Day” come from?! Does the word Father not suggest it is perhaps a time to give your Father (not your sister, grandmother, son, cousin) a card? Ok, so at a push, an uncle or stepfather who has acted like a father to you would deserve to recieve a card, but your husband?!

It’s not like it’s just Fathersday that has turned into a biiiiig competition to see just how much money Card producing companies can make out of you, its every holiday/celebration throughout the year. “From the cat to the dog on Christmas” and “to my sister on Mothersday”…

It just gets stupider, and makes everyone forget what the celebration is all about.

At the end of the day, its the thought that counts, and should I choose to write my message on a post-it-note, it would still have the same meaning, so come on people! Boycott daft cards.

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Freaky… Doesn’t work if you put anything before or after it though.

It was 40, yes forty years ago, and whilst I’m all for being happy that England won the world cup, 9 other world cups have happened since then, and it is reaaaaally time to move on! It doesn’t need to be mentioned every time “England” and “football” are said in the same sentence.
How about people start worshipping England for worthwhile things like… oh sorry… can’t think of any off the top of my head. Feel free to email me any suggestions.

For a horrible example see: true-betas.org

It’s not just that site, there’s heaps out there… The whole point of a portal is for content, so why take the content directly out a forum when you can just GO to the forum and read it there? It doesn’t make people want to stay on the site any longer, because if anything, they don’t notice the forum link at the top and leave, or leave because the few posts they can see aren’t really relevant to them…
