The last thing I want to do is play another MMO.
So I’ve ordered the Collector’s Edition of Aion. What an idiot. I entirely blame DanTup. It does look bloody nice, though.
Edit: It’s complete bollocks. The developers could’ve had a really good game on their hands, but they have evidently never heard of the word “polish”.
Alright. Due to changes YouTube made to how their guff works, YouChoob stopped working. Thanks to Avoidz for letting me know about this problem; I’ve now released an updated version that gets everything working again. Plus, the video quality detection is much better, too!
I’m thinking of adding a video quality selection dialog in the next version that’ll allow you to choose which version of the video you want to do download. Or not. Dunno yet.

Software downloads available on Software.BootBlock.co.uk have been relocated. I need to add a link checker to the application I use to maintain that area to ensure that all the download links actually work.
There was something else I wanted to say, but kinda forgot what it was. Will update this post later when I remember.
Edit: Added “Loose”.
What the hell – have another little faux guide thing. This one is for those particularly thick people out there. I know you’re out there, lurking, with your defective brain.
Today we’ll be tackling the misuse of words. That is, when someone uses a word they’ve heard of, but don’t actually know its true meaning. They’ll use them to try and appear more intelligent than they are. It doesn’t work.
As it seems I’m not posting here much, I’m using that Twitter bilge (pretend I’m being ironic or something) to do quick updates and such. I despise it, yet I use it. What a hypocrite I am. Link is here.
Right, that’s it. If you’re above a certain age and you still don’t know how to use apostrophes, then you’re thick. I’ve just been through the hell of reading through a major apostrophe catastrophe, so now I’m going to explain exactly when to use these damn symbols. If you still get it wrong after reading this, then you should really think about dropping the written form as a method of communication.
Right, I’m going to fucking well write this. It’s not going to make any difference to anything in the world, but I don’t care. There’s swearing. Be warned, or get the hell out.
I love countering in games. Beat ‘em ups or whatever, I like to wait out the CPU player (not so much humans, as playing in this style makes it a lot less fun for them, and therefore makes you a fun-spoiling cock) and counter-move their arses into the ground. It enlarges my e-peen with manliness.
Hmm, no updates for almost a month. That probably isn’t good. I probably say that all the time and do nothing about it.
So, a new release of Comical. In fact, I think there has been two releases since I lost wrote about it. The previous version added support for archiving and browsing said archives and various other things. This release is mainly a maintenance that fixes a few things.
One problem was a (handled!) crash when moving through a comic archive after renaming a comic – I forgot to update the state of some variable, so easy enough to fix. Another one wasn’t my fault, but the fault of Awkward Zombie’s web-server being incorrectly configured and probably lending itself to a security issue by using a space in its HTTP Name/Value pair headers.

The server move is complete! The forum is back (and now advertised above), along with the addition of a wiki for my software. Waah, a wiki?! Yeah, click on the link above but do note that at the time of writing there’s only Comical in there.
Email is also back up and running, so, yeah, whatever. What, you don’t actually expect me to reply to you, do you?
Come and git yer new releases…
Twitter is a stupid fad of little worth used by people who think they’re intellectually above everybody else but have an overwhelming urge to let those loser everybodies know how much their morning dump weighs mere moments after it came dribbling out of their flap. They’re fad-driven arseholes and I hate them.
I signed up for a Twitter account about ten minutes ago.
