Peace be with you! When I signed up for the Crazy Cycle with Families Relief I knew it would be an event to remember, and thanks to all of you I was able to raise over £2200 towards the orphanage! Don’t believe that we did it? Check out the full gallery here! If you have pledged money towards the cause, or are yet to sponsor, the justgiving page will be online for a few more weeks so please do get me to my fifth and final target of £2500!

No – it doesn’t, but believe me thats what the media would twist this into (especially if words like Islam, Abdul or Osama were involved). Honestly if this happened to me I would probably be in Guantanamo. Read the story about how a world of warcraft geek got a taste of being a Muslim on an Aeroplane here! – Thanks Tibault.

h44xoRd?! Yeah my site got hacked, wowza those guys are so great I mean if guessing if my password was the name of the site (usayd) isn’t bad enough, they even managed to optimise their cheesy owned page for the amazing browser – Internet Explorer!

Uhm for all those using those FCKGW versions of Windows – RUN! Haha only joking, but you may want to watch out for this. EDIT 3rd July 06 Haha, title edited to ‘M$ FAIL to Strike Back!

If you don’t know what was going on, basically M$ come out saying they’re going to change their WGA (windows genuine advantage) tool in the next release so that it checks if your using a legal version of windows and sends...

Exams. Ouch I hate that word. Yeah I won’t shouldn’t be writing much because I will should be revising for my GCSE examinations which are rapidly descending on me (end of May!). Detesting revision, or school in general, doesn’t really help with it either – hence the MSN Nickname: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark Twain Brief update because I hate seeing my website with the same posts for too long, I watched 30 days: Minimum Wage with Morgan Spurlock yesterday. It’s good to see that (some) people are (finally) opening...

Ever since the first details of the Xbox 360 hit the web, gamers have drawn comparisons to Sega’s ill-fated (yet still highly regarded) Dreamcast console. There are the obvious examples – the timing of the launches or the color of the hardware – but then there are a lot of not so obvious ones, too.Read the Dreamcast-xbox360 comparison article at 1Up.com And I must say, there are A LOT of similarities. It’s actually quite frightening to see how much the Xbox 360 and Sega Dreamcast look alike, even the logo is practically the same! But not to worry, after going through the...
