So Jen gets me a top hat for my birthday, I can’t stop wearing it. So far I’ve worn it in the pub, at the work’s do, in the van, in the sea at midnight. I think I’m going to have some serious fun with this hat. I already have the rabbit :)>
Took these this morning because it was just stunning to be amongst

I have been adding media to the site like mad, check out the VioLATE and DownFACE pages in the music section. I have utilised Soundcloud for my music storage/streaming to make this a more social experience and to make my life easier when compiling playlists. YouTube powers the videos, unfortunately I have had to use flash for the most of this which I’m not a huge fan of but no doubt html5 happenings aren’t too far off being universal on both of these platforms.
There will be some disruptions to the site as I move it over to a new server, this should improve the load times and general reliability of the site. I am hoping to get all of this done this week in order to get some new projects rolling and to complete the content of this site.
The switch is done and to top matters off I have also found the time to upload a ton of stuff to the music section, expect more over the coming days…
Many moons ago I found myself wanting to build a pc that I could hook up to my TV and watch all of my digital media through, I figured that I didn’t need anything powerful and that it would be nice if I could incorporate a remote control.
I asked my friend who at he time was working for IBM if he had any suggestions and he informed me that I should buy an xbox. I pointed out that I wasn’t looking for a games console and suddenly a whole new world was opened up to me, the world of console hacking.
What vegetable exactly? I’ve never heard of anybody getting fat from eating too many vegetables, how the hell do they extract so much oil from them?
Just a thought.
Having been snaffled up by a local ISP I have found myself in a rather odd and maybe not so unique position. I no longer find myself constantly searching for new and interesting projects in my self-employment for any reason than the joy of doing so.
This being the case I decided that most of the stuff on this website is now fairly irrelevant. Based upon these factors I have decided to make it into a sort of computer help site/showcase of my previous work/general blog of things that both amuse and excite me.
The latest iteration of the Ubuntu desktop has been released, here at Golden Gecko we run nothing else. Why? you may ask, well, here are just a few of the reasons that tipped us in the direction of the seemingly odd-titled OS.
It’s Free! Yes, free. With it being an open source operating system with a global community that is made up of thousands of people who want to help build the best open-source operating system in the world. They share their time and skills to make sure that Ubuntu keeps getting better and better. From IBM to Google, Firefox to Wikipedia – some of today’s best software is based on an open-source model. Shared efforts. Shared principles. No cost.
No Viruses. That is also correct, it doesn’t become infected with viruses and therefore doesn’t require an antivirus to keep it running in tip-top condition. Because it has been built in a solid manner from the ground up you have no need to worry about the internet nasties breaking their way into your computer.
It looks stunning, in comparison to the contenders (OSX and Windows 7) this thing really shines, a full 3d animated desktop at your disposal.
It works on pretty much any old computer and you don’t even have to install it in order to give it a try. Get yourselves over to ubuntu.com today, download a copy and have a play, you might never look back. We certainly haven’t!
