‘homemade gatchaman’. Beat that!
When you hit my website, and you come from another website, my web server can tell where you came from. This is normal. I look at where my hits come from (the referrers), most referred hits are from google, the rest are spread mostly between kippetje and leportal, although craigeaux gets in there from time to time. The most common query lately seems to be referring to “XIII mousing problem“, on which I wrote a blog some time ago (and am #1 in google for). I will have to add a little box at the top to help those people out. I know their pain.

Kirsten is away at uni for two more weeks. During this time I will not write any girly “I miss you” blogs in the style of craigeaux. Because I am not a girl, unlike craig.

Trasher 2? It is a Russian website that has a few images that interest me. I really wanted to know how he got that “corrupted” look. I posted messages on newsgroups asking for help, but no-one knew how. I was stumped. I could not find out how to do it. The Internet had failed me.
Until it struck me. If I want an image to look corrupted, then what better way than to corrupt it? Out comes the hex editor. Ramdomly replacing stuff with 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 etc. does the trick. Some nice corrupted images. I just need to experiment with it a bit to get what I want. Maybe add some jpeg atrefacts using cheap-ass encoders on a low setting.
I thought I could share this discovery with you while I am waiting for a video to render. That’s the other thing I am doing. I am making my own DVDs. Not “making my own DVDs, *wink*”, but actual from-camera-to-DVD type videos. I am going through and converting my DV and VHS footage to DVD. I have tried a few production apps, but they are either too complicated or too simple. Now I have discovered Vegas and I am hooked. It is exactly at the level I want, and it has an attractive, intuitive interface. I recommend it.
When I have a few videos finished I will add a ‘videos’ section to darryn.net to share some of the videos. I warn you, they will only be of interest to those who are actually in them.

Today I got a hit from here. It seems to be a forum for sad men who have a fetish for TV news anchors. It is full of screen captures of TV news shows, with excited captions telling us about how incredibly hot these average women are. They seem to be particularly enamoured of newsanchors’ legs. There is even a forum called Pantyhose Legs Pic Post. There is a thread called, and I am not making this up, Best Of Southern Charms: The Hottest Legs: Part 7! I did not add the exclamation mark.
I do not endorse these forums, nor suggest that you follow any of these links. You might have nightmares.
