#The curious condition called "Life"

Yes, we are all still alive! The slow release of new content has been a side effect of "life". We apoligise. We hope to correct this situation called "Life" as soon as possible and return to our regular nerding.

For myself, I have been very busy socially and professionally for the past month. Still got a bit to go before it's over. I am getting a new laptop soon (later today in fact. My parents are coming to stay and they are bringing a new one for me! I'm looking forward to seeing it more then I am them!) so perhaps I'll have the processing power to actually open up OpenOffice and get some article writing done!

As for everybody else, they have either been caught up in "Life" either socially or professionally. Ben has a job working for a video editing company (or something like that). Nemmy I think got a girlfriend (the traitor!). Cyrus is still full of excuses why he hasn't posted his mythical article yet. AtnNn seems busy with University. Michael has gone AWOL again and Neil. Who knows?

#DVDs vs Piracy

Pretext

This article will pretty much be my opinion, thinly disgused as a subjective comparison between watching films and TV shows, either on DVD, or by downloading them via Bittorrent and the likes.

I am totally ignoring the legality of this comparison. I am only going to cover what should be the most important factor: Convenience for the viewer.

Getting

DVD

Depending on various factors, the DVD release of a film can be months or even years after it has shown in cinemas. If you happen to live somewhere that isn't America, it can be even longer till a DVD appears.

#Relaunch of some nullnetwork tools

Filed under: Website.
As part of my directory clean up I have reinstalled some of my old subdomains, but for the neverfear.org project!

wol.neverfear.org is a web based Wake-on-LAN client. Great for using your cell phone to wake up your computer. After a busy day at the office to save time, or perhaps you are being a Girl back and you have your computer set up to play mood music on wake ;-) (not so unrealistic, I've done these sorts of things!). Whatever you need it for, here it is.

paste.nulldigital.net is current under spam bot attack so I've disabled the paste list function, however still a nice little tool, mostly because when anything is pasted it signals our IRC bot to let people know!

This is the second part of the catchily named Regex-for-people-who-should-know-regex-but-do-not guide. If you are unfamiliar with the basics of regular expression syntax, then I recommend you first read part 1, or any of the many regular expressions primers available online.
