“delusional is christianity”
More on Halloween
I thought that I’d use writing about it as a way to remember some of the more estoric moments of the Halloween party. That, and I can point people at the site rather than continually writing the same thing over and over!
I met quite a few strange and friendly characters last night. One of my favourites was a girl called Catherine who very kindly shared a bottle of wine with me. She had a weird habit of rolling rollups, but then giving them away as she didn’t smoke. I suppose just having a habit of rolling is better than also smoking them though!
I decided to take down the site for the duration of my internet haitus. This should be around a month (hopefully I can get a modem soon after I get back to University).
I’m not really sure why. I guess it’s just to make it obvious I am away =) I’d recommend you just come back in October to see what’s going on. I’ll try to post something as to when the site will be fully resurected when I get back to Uni.
You can still download my programs with the links below.

Yay exams are over! … finally… time to go out on the town as I believe they say (or did about 10 years ago, who cares?)
Well this should mean I have some time to code, but initially this will be finishing up the ASP for the site. SharpE will come next, as there are some rather large bugs in the var parsing for 9x users. Then ShellOn over the summer probably, so don’t expect a new version of the for a while. Sorry about that, but I want to have a sit down and think about it before I start to code this time around. It’ll make it all the better (hopefully).
A couple of sites for you, first up is a page on splorp, which has some rather cool pictures on it (and one rather grusome one, but it’s still a good picture). Second up is AOL Test May Renew Browser War all about how the AOL test in question won’t renew the browser wars. Which is a good thing. Enjoy.
Well I just got a virus. No surprise there really. As usual, no risk to me as I don’t use Outlook. heh.
The curious thing that I found about this virus was that it appeared to have used info of my site before mailing me the infected email. Attatched to the email was a copy of shellon’s readme.txt and the subject of the mail was ‘Change your boot screens’. Anyway, before I noticed this, I took a look at the virus’s pif file, in notepad, which was mildly interesting, but unsurprisingly not too informative. Just let me know that there were a few standard errors, that the virus for some reason had a very long string of ‘zzzzzz’ in it and that it was coded in vc++.
The real thing that caught my attention was the way the virus had used my website to make the email look interesting to me. Normally virii are obvious, the subject being something in the range of ‘Naked [insert celeb here]’ or something in bad english… But I didn’t really expect a virus in ‘Change your boot screens’. I was a bit sus about the sender - good old ‘B_’. Hmm yeah, I know him… or not.
Anyway, I’d guess that what the virus had done was visited my site, culled my email and pulled a random file and heading from the shellon page and sent them to me, in the hope that it’d catch me out… which in a way I guess it did. If I had Outlook as my mail client I guess I would be more suspicious of email, so maybe I would have been safe then… who knows?
