I just got the internet back and the first thing I stumbled upon was quite disturbing - Bread shaped like bloodied up disfiguired human body parts. Delicious!

I don’t think it would be suitable for a homemade hamburger, though I do like the authors idea of filling the head with spaghetti for a truly disgusting meal. If you’re game head over to Inventor Spot to see more pictures.

Just to let everyone know I’m not going to be able to post for a bit because our internet provider decided to disconnect our service (making this post from my parents house). Will resume posting once I’m with our new ISP.

Similar to the 60th Anniversary Commodore, here’s the Ute version (based on the SV6).

I’ve definately experienced this with one of my DARKCOLD email addresses, but thankfully never my gmail (because it’s not published anywhere). What happens is you get email in your inbox from a mail server saying that an email YOU sent couldn’t be delivered (which you never really sent), and if you look at an excerpt (if included) it’s likely to be spam. This could either mean your computer is infected and being used as a zombie to send spam, or more likely that your email address has been harvested by a spammer (could happen if you sign up for anything dodgy or have your email address in plain view, perhaps a message board?) and used as the sender of the email. Spammers do this because some web servers block email from domains or email addresses which don’t exist.

Owners of most modern Nokia phones rejoice! Symbian s60v3 (OS 9.1/9.2) has recently been hacked open allowing modification to the code. At the moment there’s no custom firmwares, the changes are being done in memory (meaning after a reboot everything should fix itself) using software. Being so new there’s only a handful of patches in existence at this time; proof of concept, ability to bypass the need for signing (:D), unlocking all sorts of strange things in the menus (I found a menu item with no text that when selected caused the current phonecall to vanish completely, still in the call but it’s like there’s no call), allowing access to private data in the ROM/system memory and changing the product code (can’t use this to update the firmware though, just for fun). The first tricks to utilize hacked firmware allows us to change where the phone looks for the start-up sound, from rom to the writeable system storage (C:\), meaning we can have any start-up MP3 we want, another allowing the change of the start-up animation. Expect much more to come!

I wish this were an April Fools joke, but interestingly enough it’s not!

These designer dog houses look interesting enough on the outside, but I doubt they’d provide sufficient protection from, oh I don’t know, rain! You can see them and more at the Dog is a god website.
