I made a short list of hints for Battlefield Badcompany 2 players. Things I’ve learnt playing that might help others. I posted it over at my gaming community, but I thought I’d add it here as well. 1.The assault class is for noobs – don’t use it unless you’re obsessed with your own KDR and [...]

Predictive txt msg drives man to murder
Posted: 22nd February 2011 by By Adrian Willings in Interesting DiscoveriesTags: man driven to murder, predictive text
In recent news (Valentines day) predictive text leads a man to murder after he was called a “nutter” rather than a “mutter”. The poor Mancunian didn’t take too kindly to being referred to as mental and a heated argument followed, ending in 104 stab wounds to the victim. Remember folks, check those messages before you [...]

Update your WordPress or get hacked (apparently)
Posted: 22nd February 2011 by By Adrian Willings in Interesting DiscoveriesTags: hackers, keeping up to date, wordpress
Some of the more observant among you might have noticed a sudden change in the theme of our blog and a distinct lack of posts. The reasons for this are two-fold, but I won’t bore you too much with details. It seems a week or two ago, our blog was hacked by some nefarious characters [...]
Google vs Microsoft – the bitch fight
Posted: 7th February 2011 by By Adrian Willings in SEOTags: Bing, google, seo
Google has been claiming (loudly) that Microsoft has been directly stealing its search results for use in their search engine Bing. According to Econsultancy (who sum it all up nicely) Google engineers used fake/nonsense websearches in order to prove that Bing was returning identical results and thus must be stealing. However, it is revealed that [...]
Sad day – nurse + innuendo = fired
Posted: 7th February 2011 by By Adrian Willings in Interesting Discoveries, RamblingsTags: unfair dismissal
What’s the world coming to when a nurse can’t even make a perfectly humours sexual comment when straddling a patient without getting fired? Whatever happened to the wonderful Carry On days? In this story, an improperly trained nurse (Ms Bowater) helped to restrain a (naked) patient who was having a epileptic fit and straddled his [...]

Teasing n00bs is fun
Posted: 1st February 2011 by By Adrian Willings in RamblingsTags: Chatroll.com, noob
I noticed an unusual referring external link to our company blog and naturally had to investigate. Clicking the link, I suddenly found myself in some sort of chat room (they still exist?) called Chatroll.com. People with odd pseudonyms chatted about inane girl things. I couldn’t spy where the link had originated in the current chat [...]
I hate you customs and excise

It’s Christmas, I’ve got a little money so I thought it might be nice to treat myself to something shiny for my engine bay. From the UK shops the bits I’m after retail at about £90 each. Since I need a about 4 bits I decide to hunt for some bargains. Tmtuning.com is, at first [...]
