Oh boy, small world :)

When I travelled to Oz, I came across a couple of peeps holding up a board offering “Free Hugs” and was mesmerised! I watched them all for nearly an hour, how people reacted and what the people watching did, what the ‘huggers’ were like etc. I loved that they could do it and had the gumption to stand there and do this seemingly loving thing :) I took pictures that day because I was so enamoured with it all.

Well, today I found this youtube video and read all about the story of this guy who has for the last 2 years been giving away Free Hugs :)

Story

It’s a real shame I couldn’t get passed my “Englishness” and give the lad a hug, I wish I had now but at least I got to see some when I was there :) Here’s a piccy of one of the guys there that day:

Cool little animation of some drummers. I like.

Head drumming

Lets see how it all goes, took 24 hours to get email, not a good start.

The fact that I got the blog going without crying is a plus tho :)

Beautiful, inspiring and just plain daft, Matt goes round the world with his camera and dances. Another one of those ideas that seems so simple. I wish I had done the same :)

oh goody :)

50mb vid of the game to come. looks nice.

Thanks for the link Mr S.

Erm, well… this looks right nice. A jolly good alternative to the online WoW scene but just as imersive? It has been getting very good reviews all over, some of which I have linked.

The question is do we all need another game that takes over hours of our lives? When it looks like this, erm… well, yes.

A review

My problem was that I had downloaded lots of .FLV videos from youtube and google and such (using this fab site) and now wanted to view them in my Media Player Classic, I didn’t want to download a poopy third party FLV viewer app.

1. Get CCCP codec pack (CCCP is just an alternative to the sometimes bloated K-Lite)
2. Get CCCP Insurgent from the same site
3. Uninstall ALL video codec packs installed (decoders only, any encoding packs such as Xvid can stay)
4. Run Insurgent to check all old stuff has gone
5. Install CCCP codec pack, accept all default settings
6. Get the latest MPC build and the latest FLVSplitter from here and copy it to C:\Windows\System32
7. Run “regsvr32 FLVSplitter.ax”
8. Run yer shiny new MPC and view all those FLV files. Cool
9. Spend the next hour looking for videos to download

Yet another video of people hurting themselves :)

look out for the dog with the firework!

Fab little util that enables scrolling windows without needing to get focus. I missed this functionality since not installing the bloated mouse drivers that MS & Logitech force on us. Yay, back to easy scrolling for me!
