Random Musings - Day #212

Videos
Hmmm I was having problems with keepvid and had to look at another video stream capture site in savevideodownload. Although the latter works if not better than keepvid. It's full of adverts, so be warned.
I like this video of how to glide, float and slide. Also check out who the gingerbread man really is.

Football
Sir Bobby Robson died today. Darren Bent looks like he's made a right twitter of himself on his page and has been left to apologise for his actions. His twitter has mysteriously disappeared as well.

Hacked and gone
It looks like Gary McKinnon is in for some hard times after being extradited to the States.

Random Musings - Day #211

Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be... is a catchphrase from Stars in your eyes. And these days, Matthew Kelly like Rachel Weisz can be found in the theatre in London. He is appearing in the not-so well known Shakespearean tragedy, Troilus and Cressida.

There is a good guide to the players in patch management. The jury is out on softwarepatch.

Random Musings - Day #210

Michael Schumacher is going toreturn to the F1 circuit. A very interesting move indeed. He's going to temporarily stand-in for Felipe Massa and put his young peers in place.

I remember doing Streetcar named desire in school and stellar reviews look good for Rachel Weisz return to the West End.

David Cameron, the shadow leader turned airwaves blue and a big deal was made over it.

I have been looking at lower back injuries and more importantly exercises.

Random Musings - Day #209

SNMP
There are quite a number of tools to look at SNMP. Here is
snmp get. And there are others like snmpnetstat, snmptable and snmpwalk.
As a consequence it may be possible to grab config file by setting a parameter in SNMP to upload the config to a tftp server. From there can crack some useful information in those exported
config. Another elaborate attack is
Cisco SNMP configuration attack with a GRE tunnel.

A-Ha
Apparently, A-ha were performing at Westfield for free.

Music
Not sure about these sites. You can apparently download/listen to songs at spotify. Whilst you can allegedly gather all information in one place for an artist at kicknote and filtersage looks like community of some kind.

Massage
Messed up my back a little from playing tennis. I should really get a massage. Presumably a sports massage. However, a full body massage or even an aromatherapy one is great. Only problem, it looks like it is really expensive over here. The established spas in the far east for instance charge around 20-30 quid for 90 minutes plus. Whereas you are looking at 50-60 quid for a similar service. But be warned, I have seen some rather dubious massage places listed particularly in yell, gumtree, etc where they may sell *cough* additional services. If it doesn't have a website, then be slightly worried. Although, you could lie on a website. It seems more reliable than just having a memo listed on an advertising site. Anyways, ones seen are soul sanctuary, rdr massage and tranquility. An example of not so reputable place (that actually has a website) is wanstead massage. Oh yeah, if the website isn't up front with prices, again I would be worried.

Random Musings - Day #208

Not much to say today. I had to seriously check out the NHS site for swine flu. The symptoms are kind of similar to regular flu except maybe more extreme. I was suffering with body aches, head aches and feeling warm (no coughing/cold). There is also a dedicated site for it as well

Random Musings - Day #207

JLS remain at #1 holding off Mr Hudson and Kanye West's "Supernova". Black eyed peas stay at #3 with "I've gotta feeling"

Random Musings - Day #206

Cats are clever, they know when they've been in situation. I took my cat to the vet for an injection and started meowing (in discontent) on his way there in his carrier. I've got vary it a bit and start taking him out in the carrier.
