Minecraft 1.01 is out and a new feature is to start a new world with super flat terrain which I have done and I have a new play through on youtube, episode one is on-line and can be viewed below.
There are a few surprises suck as being on level 5.6, slimes everywhere, no trees, nothing but green grass and more villages then I can visit in a life time and each village has a new blacksmith and each is filled with a chest with surprise items located within, can I survive on what I find in these chests? watch and find out.
We where travelling to the shops the other day and we hear a scrapping noise start so we drove straight home as I had a good idea as to what was making the noise, as in the picture below the pads are 100% warn, no disc damage thankfully.

disc brakes warn
The pad on the right still has a few mm’s on it but the one on the left is 100& warn, we drove it maybe 600 meters like that with out damaging the disc.
Also found another problem.

that isn't good
As you can see the seal and the piston are a little warn and dry so I need to fix that which is easy.
Well I think my Mother was a little sick of the large 5.1 amp and speaker setup at her house so I took it off her hands, I tried to give her some funds for it but she didn’t want anything for the whole kit. The amplifier is a Pioneer VSX-D510.
It is a very powerful setup that sounds amazing with our Blu-ray player which is plugged into the amplifier via a coxial digital cable.
So thanks mum for the cool stereo.
I try to stay away from system cleaning tools like ccleaner, I am sure it is a great program but if you know where to go to clean up system temp files etcetera then having another program installed is just pointless. I actually think these kind of tools go a little overboard in cleaning things that really should not be touched such as certain log files which contain important information like program removal and installation so if the log file is removed then you can’t un-install / modify that program/s.
I also have a big issue with registry cleaners, now all a registry cleaner does is remove unwanted or redundant items and all that does in return is increase your startup time by 1 millisecond if that and also increase your memory footprint by a couple of kilobytes (if your lucky) the other main problem I always have is these registry cleaning tools always mess up currently installed programs and always remove things like game keys which drives me insane.
With todays large hard drives I find the below methods are only required if you are really desperate for hard disk space, own an SSD or are totally OCD
Here is a small list of things that you can do to keep your Windows 7 computer junk free so to speak.
Please note that this doesn’t do any thing to help with performance, these are basically house cleaning options, I have thrown in a couple of others as well.
Remove temporary Internet files.
Delete downloaded program files like Microsoft ActiveX controls and Java applets.
Empty Recycle Bin.
Remove Windows temporary files like error reports.
There is nothing to complex about the options in Disk Cleanup
I think that will cover most of them with out going to far into the workings of the operating system and really cleaning things up which normally kills things.
Well it seems to have been a long time coming but it has finally come and almost gone, we all received many wonderful gifts, as I said on Facebook thank-you to everyone.
We have so much stuff that it is all a little overwhelming, I have no idea where we are going to put it all in a lovely little 3 bedroom house.
Some of the sweet presents I got are.

xbox 360 kinect

They are the main presents that I received, also the Watchmen comic, cloths, Kinect sports game, Bunnings gift cards.
A quick video showing off my hot CPU, Motherboard, Memory and Video Card in my sweet little NZXT Vulcan case. Nothing to exciting but it shows the hardware that I use to play any game I want maxed out.
Bare in mind that I only play games at a 1366x768 resolution which is just perfect because I have never really like large monitors, mine is a 18.5″ AOC LED.
Well it has been a super lazy day again, cleaning up the house after the children once again, trying to get the house looking nice for the wedding and reception which seems like an impossible task, also the backyard is a mess again, we need to take about 10 trailer loads of crap to the tip.
Only working one day a week which is just super
But hey it’s my birthday today, I am 33 and all is good (or so it seems)

Happy birthday big boy
