I can’t beleive how well techuila is going at the moment, I’ve increased the speed of it by 2200% roughly… though to be fair, the original load time as about 20 seconds lol.
Anyway, I’ve got most everything working of the basics, so it shouldn’t be too long before it becomes public!
Can’t wait!
I’m starting to feel for the team working on Internet Explorer at Microsoft. I mean, they are always one step behind. The other day I tried Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, and although it has quite a few bugs in it, it is getting close to firefox standards. Then, just the other day, google releases Google Chrome a new web browser that combine both webkit (safari uses webkit) and mozilla, so you have mozilla looking rendering but with webkit’s extreme speeds.
So, anyway, this post is more aimed at google’s Chrome web browser, to tell you the truth, I love it, it’s in beta and I just LOVE it!! I’m sorry to say, but I am slowly switching to chrome from firefox (though, firefox, when FF4 comes out, I’ll give you another shot.)
In a quick dot-point form, here is why I LOVE Chrome over any other browser.
I could go on, but seriously, just try the beta (click here) if you are on windows (or a mac/linux with a windows emulator.) Mac and Linux versions are probably going to come out in the near future. Do some comparisons with firefox or safari, this is one amazing browser, I hope they release a mobile version for symbian.
It’s that time again where Adobe is releasing all revamped products of their CS (creative suite.)
On the 24th of September, CS4 will be announced/released(?) and I can tell you that most of the difference in CS4 is going to be the GUI, there should also be some preset workspaces for dual monitors (horray.)
This is particulary good for me, because I am 99% sure that if I get into PreCAL next year, I can get about 80% off the normal price! Though, these will be academic versions, they do pretty much the same things.
Anyway, anybody who is interested in CS4 should head on over to this link and watch the live webcast on the 23rd/24th.
CS4 is going to be very nice, I downloaded a beta version of fireworks and the GUI was pretty pasic, as in, like windows 2000 looking where you have blocks for buttons, instead of cool gradient looking buttons in windows vista for example. I think that they removed the cool looking buttons in the beta release.
What I expect is this, have any of you seen MS word 2007? If so, on the top left cornor, you see a logo which basically works as a file button, I think they’ll be doing the same thing in CS4.
Anyway, just a quick post about CS4, I’ll be watching the live stream on the 24th (for me.)
Hey, just thought I’d do a quick post saying that I MIGHT be getting the parts this Monday and I’ll be starting to build a prototype of my idea!
Gah, can’t wait!
Also, on another note, Techuila may be running in as soon as 2 to 3 days (not FULL functionality, but the main feature of it should be working)
Last thing, new ipods are coming out (or atleast, being announced) on the 10th for us Aussies and the 9th for Americans - My iPod nano prediction that they might change the 30 pin connector to a micro/mini usb, I think that I might be wrong there, but we’ll see.
It’s now down to 12 days left (plus weekends) until the school holidays start.
I am setting myself a goal for the next 12 days, I am going to get Techuila OPEN to the public but not 100% functional, but most of it functional, user functionality, news posting etc, it’s going to be sweet.
I am currently creating a Techuila cartoon character named Teqqi - I asked macbros what would be a good name and he replied straight away saying how about Teqqi, and to be honest, I think that’s a pretty cool name.
Teqqi the Techuila Drinking Bot.
Gah, I can’t wait to get the site running 
- anybody into tech news, keep an eye on Techuila.com or this, my official blog, christheferal.com.
BTW, if there has ever been something that you wanted to do with a tech website, let me know in the comments, I’ll see if I can include this feature in the final release!
It’s not often that you see a person with a hell of a lot of motivation to create something, such as a gadget and sell it all over the world, is it? Well, I can tell you that I have that motivation and I might just be able to make a prototype and patent the idea relatively soon. I can’t tell you anything about this idea, but let’s just say that it’s a freaking awesome idea, you’d LOVE it!
Gah, I have to do this idea, it’s affordable and its pretty easy to make and people would love it.
Anyway, I’m just really excited right now, so I thought I’d make a blog post :p
Oh, and by the way, this idea of mine, I have had for years - but now I have the know-how on how to make it and I also more than enough motivation!
Okay folks, I just want to let any trolls out there know this, that after this post I am done with you, I will not be paying any attention to you and won’t be telling the world how much of a troll you are, this is my final message to trolls so enjoy it while it lasts.
Okay, first off, troll’s I have better things to do with my time then see your “nasty” AKA pointless comments, I’m not stopping what I am doing because, frankly, I don’t care about you or your comment - this might be a bit hard for you to understand but it’s true, I seriously DO NOT CARE! So get a life.
Anyway - I thought I’d let you all catch up on what has been going on if you have been seeing weird messages about pedophiles etc on my twitter or blog comments section.
Let me tell you, in short what happened - just to let you all know where I stand.
Krazy Kizza (AKA Kieran) in the comments section of my blog asks what I thought about his site.
Macbros replies with some constructive criticism.
KK (Krazy Kizza) then takes it in an offensive way and insults macbros, calls/gives the impression that macbros is a pedophile.
Macbros decides to stop.
KK emails Macbros with an insulting email.
Macbros emails KK - explains what he was doing politely.
KK emails Macbros - Yet another insulting email (I’ve read them, and KK - if you should have sent me your copy of the emails instead of asking for macbros copy, because I beleive macbros copy as you have got the same quotes that made me think that you are a bit to scared of people over the age of 20)
Macbros ignores KK.
KK writes a post about macbros on his blog saying that macbros is a pedophile/giving the reader the impression that he is - a lot of defamation in this blog post.
KK removes names and replaces with ***’s so that the post can stay - kinda a pointless post :-S.
I see the post, add to my twitter “OMG, macbros is not a pedo, you need to relax” - aimed at KK.
I log onto MSN, KK opens the chat saying I did not in any way call him a pedophile (KK must have read my twitter to know that I saw KK’s post about macbros)
Basically I say, you did, look at these sentences you had on your blog (I copy and paste them, explain how it’s defamation)
KK says, OMG, look at your twitter (as if he hadn’t already seen it.)
–Long MSN chat short, I explain how it’s defamation and not an “opinion” and he says (in short), that’s it I’ve had it, I’m blocking you, keep an eye on my blog, fireworks are coming!.
>>KK blocks me on msn and twitter (that means that I can’t follow him any more - I don’t receive updates from him, he doesn’t receive updates from me)
> I refreshed his blog about 7 times over the period of an hour.
> Next day, KK posts a blog saying that his blog hits have gone up and saying that somebody must be curious to see what’s going on (funny thing is, nobody comments on his blog)
> I post a comment saying, not me, I only refreshed about 7 times (plus this one)
> He then makes a new post saying that his blocked my ip address, funny thing is, he had the numbers of my IP correct but didn’t actually block me - must be to difficult to figure out how to do that 
> I then find that KK has taken www.christheferal.wordpress.com - I am now figuring that this KK guy has lost it - I have no idea why he does this, I didn’t even do anything besides saying not to call Macbros (and another friend of mine) a pedophile - it’s CRAZY! I mean.. Krazy! Actually.. I like Crazy better.
> KK Posts a blog post of a song with edited lyrics basically saying that I love macbros and macbros is a pedophile.
WTF IS GOING THROUGH HIS MIND!?!?!?!
Oh, btw Krazy Kizza - You don’t own Krazy Inc…
Anyway, I contacted wordpress and they have deactivated www.christheferal.wordpress.com - good on them!
So, what is the message in this story? Never go to any other site BESIDES www.christheferal.com for my updates. Oh and also, wordpress.com rocks!!
So where do I stand - well because I have no freaking idea why KK just blocked me out of the blue pretty much and made those insulting remarks about not only me but my mate Macbros (who is not a pedophile and I don’t “love” him - I swing for the laaadiies 
:P.) I can’t really say class KK as a friend.
So because of all this, nothing has really happened but KK has self-destructed a friendship for no apparent reason.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know what happened and how everything has worked out. BTW - there isn’t a single lie in this post, I have heaps of information to back it up, and so does wordpress.com
The funny thing in all this was, I think KK thought that he was actually annoying me by doing what he did - the truth is, I really wasn’t bothered by it, people who follow me and my blog know exactly where to look for TRUTHFUL updates of mine and nobody can bring me down. I actually realised the other day that I had forgotten about this whole christheferal.wordpress.com thingo for over 4 days - just after it happened, meaning that I fell great, troll’s no longer annoy me!
I love it, there are people so stupid out there that they spend hours into trying to annoy me and yet they fail miserably - to let you know, I have set goals with plenty of back up plans for the future and what you say really doesn’t affect me - you trolls need to just face facts, I am not an idiot who listens to these idiotic comments/attacks.
Anyways, I’m going to wrap this up now, :p hope that all made sense - it shows how valuable the friend ship was between me and KK - blocking me over saying that my friend isn’t a pedophile, WTF?!?! lol.. oh well, I don’t want to know somebody like that.
I was thinking, because I know there are a few trolls out there (not going to mention websites because they don’t deserve even one hit) that don’t really like me, maybe I should get rid of the poll.
I mean, think about it, the poll allows them to give false votes to annoy me with the click of two buttons.
If I want to know a real answer to a question, I’ll ask you folks to comment, this way I don’t get trolls commenting.
Hope that makes sense, so, say goodbye to the poll
Tell me what you think by COMMENTING on this post, not using the poll on the side.
Well, I’ve finally moved host, FTP speeds are up and the website is loading faster for me at least, so I’m happy at the moment
Please note that if you see this message and then 20 mins later, it disappears, that means you are looking at the old host again, any comments etc posted during that time will be lost in the intertubes and will not be carried over to this host, it’s unlikely that you will see the old host’s version of the site again, but it’s possible.
So, tell me what you think, is the site any faster for you?
Hi folks, I’m going to be moving (at least a couple websites, but including ChrisTheFeral.com) web host over to DreamHost (yes, I’m giving them another shot due to great reviews and the uptime my friends site has had.) So hopefully within the next 48 hours you should be experiencing faster speeds (unfortunatly the occasional drop out while the DNS updates) and I have some tricks that I can do with this host that many other hosts don’t allow you to do, at least, not shared hosts, *cough*FFmpeg*cough* so, this means on the fly flv conversions for my new websites, YAY!!!!!
This is an exciting and nervous move at the same time, so make sure to check back regulary, if you see a psot saying I have moved, that means you are looking at my site from the Dreamhost server, not the Hostmonster server (current host) but if there is no site at all for a few days, just come back soon, I might be back with hostmonster :p
Hope that all made sense! Follow me on twitter for live updates!
