Sun Silk – Anti Flat Results

April 30th, 2008 § 2

Okay, I didn’t notice it but form the photos it is clear to see that the Sun Silk – Anti Flat shampoo and conditioner with the wheat protein really does make your hair more oomphy. Pics below.

A history trip

April 30th, 2008 § 0

My dad found a 256MB USB stick that I lost about 2 years ago, I luckily didn’t have any data on it relating to my school work, so it wasn’t to much of a loss. I plugged it in and had a look at the files on it, and it was like taking a trip down memory lane. Some old programs and script I had made, some hacking tools, so school stuff and some web stuff. Very interesting indeed. It’s a mini time capsule. 

My dad wanted a USB stick so I formated it and gave it him.

Sun Silk – Anti Flat

April 29th, 2008 § 1

While showering lately I have come across, Sun Silk – Anti Flat, which supposedly gives your hair more oomph with the Wheat Protein. I don’t really want oomphy hair, but if you do, does this mean you can rub your hair in hay, and it’ll be oomphy. I’ll post you pictures of before and after using this shampoo and conditioner use and you can decide if the Wheat Protein makes my hair oomph.

A phone that suits me? It can’t be true.

I’ve been looking for a phone/pda to splash a bit of money on, since I have bought anything geeky in awhile. I’ve made a short list of features I want it in it. Here is my little list:

  • GPS
  • QWERTY
  • Wireless
  • 3g
  • Bluetooth
  • Camera (with video)
  • SD card
  • An OS that is currently being developed on
  • Dual Sim (Not too important, but it would be nice)
  • Large Screen
  • Phone-ish sized ( I don’t wanna be carrying around a laptop )
  • Looks nice
I’ve found the Nokia E90 smart phone that looks really nice and fits all the requirements but the Dual Sim point. Now the Nokia E90 has a GPS and wireless (802.11g), so it’s probably only time before Symbian OS has kismet running on it :>. If I can’t find any war driving apps, I’ll suppose I’ll have to make one.

Prep move from Case Sensitive to Insensitive

April 27th, 2008 § 4

A small number of programs don’t like running inside a case sensitive file system on OS X, such as Blockland (which can be ran inside a disk image fine) and Adobe Photoshop, which won’t even install. Because of this, I am moving over to a case insensitive file system. I’ll use time machine to back everything and restore ounce I have Leopard running fine (I’m still not sure if I should restore my whole file system or just parts I need yet), but just a a prep I’ve made and run a script that checks for files that have the same name but different caps. It’s made in python and works under leopard. Here it is. Remember it’s quick and nasty, all results will be in lower case.

import os
log=open("dump.log", 'w')
for root, dirs, files in os.walk("/"):
print "Checking - " + root
names = dirs + files
for name in names:
names[names.index(name)] = name.lower()
names.sort()
for name in names:
if names.count(name) > 1:
log.write(root + "/" + name + "\n")

Where am I?
