SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

I've been hunting about a bit for an easy (and free!) way to embed music into a web site. I just signed up for imeem, a social music and video sharing site, and I've chosen to embed the lovely bit of drum n bass below to see how it looks in the post :) Hope you enjoy the tones ;) Rockstar - TC

Hi readers :)) Which of these 2 vids do you dig the most. Please vote below :)) Vid 1 Vid 2 Vote here :))

Just wanted to stop to big up a band that you guys (my loyal readers :)) should know about. The band's called LATO and is a sort of rock / indie /alternative type of band. Loads of great melodies - very listenable and relaxing in a rocky way. Definitely worth checking out :)) Their website is www. lato .co.uk where you can see when their gigs are - there's one on this coming Saturday at 333 Motherbar , Hoxton, London EC1V ! They've also got some vids up on YouTube , and of course a MySpace page. Check them out!

I'm a sucker for portable programs as I hope will become more and more evident as I get into gear and start sticking some reviews up here. I found this little baby today: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ It's a portable CD, DVD, image writer. Now, in all fairness (or unfairness) I haven't checked the actual CD or DVD writing capabilities (although I've no reason to doubt them) but I did create an ISO image with exceptional ease. You can download a zip file , so when I say the program is portable, I mean you just unpack the zip file and run the program. So this is definitely one to add to your GMail collection. (what do I mean?). Well, if you get the GSpace extension for Firefox, you'll find it's a really neat little way of storing stuff on your GMail account, and I'd highly recommend using this to store little portable programs that you can later copy pack to your PC if and when you need them.

Doh, once again I haven't posted anything for far too long. Well, this is just a quick reminder of my custom Google downloads search engine, google4life.tk . You can either go to http://google4life.tk/ or just use the search box on the right-hand side of this blog :) The search engine is good for finding direct downloads (i.e. zip files, mp3s, and stuff) and also lets you search for serials (for registering software) and torrents (for, er, bittorrent).
