Nerd Alert:

While doing 'research' for my presentation I came across this gem. This was recorded for the 1996 Computer Game Developer's Conference, DirectX 2 was the biggest headline back then, anyway, the good ol' Mr Gates stars in this video.

Microsoft sucks at Photoshop

US site & then Polish site pics


So in a funny/racist move by Microsoft Poland, they decided to photoshop the black dude out in one of their marketing pictures for Poland... and I thought the poles loved black people... ;-)

Anyway, MS changed it back now and apologised, but it did not stop 'teh internets' from making jokes at the incident.


Star Wars MS had their own version too!

Ozzie Checks in ... The clean room

I have exams* between 22nd May - 5th June, this could affect the frequency of my posts. In preparation for these exams, in a classic Osman fashion, I did nothing so far. but I did spend hours cleaning my room today; it was filthy. I organised all my notes, books, kicks, clothes, magazines and toys. Now it is a better working environment, so I might decide to start revision tomorrow.

If you are wondering where the dirty magazines at? they are in a different stash. Speaking of porn stashes:

"My girlfriend used to think magazines like GQ and Maxim were pornographic - until she found my real stash." Jimmy Carr

* AMO has exams too.

Ozzie checks in... it is about time he did!

Whats good my people, if any of you is still around. I'm blogging again. It has been a long time, but I have my reasons, however, the main cause was the absence of my precious laptop for three whole weeks for 'repairs', MSI took the piss with the duration of repairs, but god bless them, they fixed everything and made me a very happy man.

Speaking of being a happy man, Moose & I spent a week volunteering at the Vitalise Sandpipers center in Southport which was a LOT of fun and we are going back there this summer for two weeks. I will do a post about Vitalise later.

Also, I'm going to go to Yemen for a month this summer, which should be exciting. For those who don't know about Yemen, educate yourself here. Anyway, the purpose of the trip is to visit family and chill in the middle east, cos that place is the bomb, literally.

* I know that my photography rocks.

The award winning 22" screen is a joy to own, and suprisngly is very cheap. It has been Custom PC's 22" screen of choice since it got released and nothing so far managed to come near its amazing perfomance/cost ratio.

I bought it from Aria for a reasonable £152.89.
