Big Brother UK 2006

So it’s about to start again. It’s one of those things which takes a lot of flak when its on but lots of us tune in to see whats happening. Im sure this year they will try and find the worst possible people in the world and im sure they’ve succeeded. Thing about it is that after seven years and the massive amount of press and negative publicity contestants have recieved you’d imagine that knowone would want to enter the competition but alas it seems there are muppets out there that do.

So, lets prepare for a few months of big bro television and no doubt some small talk at the office about the wankers being let into this years house. For those of you who deny watching it I dont believe you, in fact you are all closet big bro enthusiasts no doubt adding sqillions of messages to the forums out there!

Update: Indeed, they are all f****** morons. What a shocker. If Big Brother wants to encourage sex ans such why do they insist on getting a bunch of people who are obviously so incompatible. Odd. Anywho, my current favorite is Peter “Tourette’s” boy. His first words to posh boy George “Hi, how are you.. WANKER!” were perfect. Finally, why o why do the audience love camp gay man? They are grating and should just get the fuck off the TV

ReadyToSurf Hack

Sitting at Waterloo today I was suprised to see that ReadyToSurf doesnt close all its ports before you pay. Web access if blocked and you are redirected to another “pay now” page but suprisingly accessing a remote webpage on a random port number (I have one setup) allows me straight through as does Groove and a bunch of other things. I would of thought that they would shut down access to everything but it seems not! Next step then is to setup a proxy via a alternate port web server and run mod_proxy to the beebs site or something. Small things. :)

I might actually try some bit torrent to see if they are blocking specific common ports or just the standard web/mail/news ports.

Snap.com

Snap.com has made to the headlines with a new style of search engine, based (it would seem) on the Google Suggest site. For me personally I think they’ve gone to public too quickly. The level of results is very small and the interface is (whilst ajaxy) not great. Google depth of results, exisiting suggest system and clean interface makes it a worthy winner everytime. Thinking about it some more I’m not sure what the point is given that there is nothing Snap.com offers to me as an extra.
