Bored today

So went looking for things to do.

Found out about rail guns and they have come on since I last looked.   I should really build one or the other.

Couldn’t find any more plans to built my own SMG.    Looks like Phil Luty’s plans are still the best.    I just need to get that [...]

Baby steps

I hate exercise. My lifestyle is such that I never get much real exercise and since I left my teens a long way behind I’ve been more into minimal sweating.

I do have a few items of gym equipment though although it took me a while to work out the claims made by the [...]

Minimalist housing

Although I am convinced that the climate change crowd are the biggest bunch of scammers after the government I actually do believe we should be a bit more careful with the environment. We should recycle what is viable to do so, in fact I was recycling in the dumpsters that firms left in supermarket [...]

One man’s dissident

As more and more data flows across the internet in the form of photographs and small text messages like twitter and SMS it becomes much easier for the bad guys to hide information among all this which makes the security services job all but impossible. They are mainly relegated to sifting data after the [...]

Recording sunglasses

One of the new toys I have seen on my travels is a pair of shooting glasses that have a built in camera so you can perform a task and record it from your viewpoint rather than from a different and awkward angle. They sell for about £200 and when I have some pennies [...]

Innovation and its associated reward is what keeps us moving forward. It allows us to take tentative steps and improve everything we have, adding and tweaking as we go until although we still have the same items they have been improved and tweaked to be more efficient, safer and cheaper. In the meantime it [...]

Encryption saved the day for Dantas, a Brazilian banker, who had his computers seized by Plod in 2008. After nearly two years and help from the FBI the encryption remained unbroken. It is suspected that he used a 256 AES algorithm under TrueCrypt Disk Encryption. TrueCrypt is a free open source encryption program available [...]

Handy tool

There have been times when I’ve wanted to download YouTube videos for later off line use and been unable too. So eventually I found a tool that enabled the download but it required installation on your system.

Today I found an online one that works fine.

The Tube Grabber

Root cause of our ills

I like to think of myself as logical. I like to look at the facts and make up my own mind based on what I see and now. This can then be discussed and if new facts or viewpoints are raised then I can even change my opinion on something. It’s a nice logical [...]

Our society is on the decline. What can I do?

Just reading the paper and browsing the web tells us that this government couldn’t run a small stall in a town market. The Labour party itself ran out of funds and millions had been given to it by dickheads for titles and paper all of which were free to produce. Normally an excellent business [...]
