So here's a few things I've found this morning that have evoked some discussion amongst friends:

Religion of Atheists, Science is our only religion - http://www.churchofreality.org

Become your own minister (legally.. as in you can actually host a marriage ceremony) of your own religion and believe whatever you want so long as you "Do only that which is right." for $20 - http://www.themonastery.org/

and was Jesus based on previous fiction, Christianity merely plagiarized - http://www.thegodmovie.com/ (Trailer - http://www.thegodmovie.com/trailer/tests/GodWhoWasntThere-Trailer-LG.mov)

These are not sites you come across every day, I make no comments on them specifically.

Another brilliant Facebook related e-mail I had to share:

Most of them are fairly normal, but this one caught my eye:



So she's a terrible person to know?.. doesn't matter at least she smells nice.

The e-mail ends with "There are 56959 more.", i'll be sure to check them all out, thanks "Social Profile".

My dad brought up the 2 Emtec Ceedo drives so I could transfer some data to my laptop.. While waiting for things to copy I tried running the Ceedo software on it (figuring it probably needed an update) and after dismissing the firewall alert, found it wouldn't run.

A packet sniff later discovered the following. The domain which it checks to see if there is a new version has now expired. Worryingly not only has it expired but it's now owned by a domain harvestor. As this is a domain which has the potential to roll out new executable content to people (you can tell Ceedo not to automatically install updates) I am rather disappointed with Emtec for not renewing it, but that's by the by.

To force an update. Change your Emtec locations to the official Ceedo ones.. let the Ceedo program update the rest.

Open in notepad the file "ceedo.nvs" from inside the "Ceedo" folder.

Original File:

replace the following lines mentioning the defunct "smart-drives.com" with their appropriate paths from the CeedoInstaller.exe I found on the website:

New Lines:



and also under the Autorun section we can make the following changes:



I also removed the dubious "version check" (the smart-drives website is non existant!)


Run Ceedo as before, it detects an update and you can install it.. Everything will be back to normal and you now have Vista support You also can download the personal trial from the website and expect it to update but I felt an upgrade was probably more appropriate. The installer for a start won't remove all the obsolete files.

One of my contacts joined the delightfully tasteful "Girls have s*** banter. FACT" (http://www.Facebook.com/group.php?gid=2254816361) Facebook group.

While trying to work out if this was some elaborate joke or if there are people naive enough to believe it I discovered this:

I can only assume that this was a prank, i'm sure politicians have not stooped to a new level to appeal to their voters.

This person clearly has been watching the TV series FoneJacker
