Wordfeud

Incidentally me and some friends stopped sniffing glue and speedballing a few years back when we learned that the latter had killed John Belushi and Chris Farley - I just used it as a point of comparison in this case.

Dunno if anyone else has it on their phone, but in case you're thinking about getting it, you should think twice.
The free version has crashed my phone more times than I can count on two hands by freezing not only itself but the entire OS. Maybe this is a*snip*

Learning WebDev

20th February 2012

Learn PHP first, as it can be used to extend webservers to do things they weren't meant to do (such as facilitate patching).
Don't bother learning Javascript, it's a steaming pile of shit.

Rant Ahoy : Windows 8 Logo

I don't really care about the logo. But the thing I *do* care about is whether or not Windows 8 will be a cloud OS. If it will be, I'm buying a fucking mac and installing Linux on this PC.

Clues You're Getting Old..

The only way I manage to comfort myself that getting old isn't so bad is when I'm watching Britain's Greatest Machines with Chris Barrie and thinking ahead to when I retire.

Fixed a bug in Manifestation where it would try to recalculate checksums based on paths that weren't available in the fileformat when saving previously created manifests.

File integrity

13th February 2012

Yeah I don't doubt that MD5-hashes are tamper-proof, but I was worried about the filesize. Turns out hashes are much shorter in size than the actual file. :)
As for CRC:

File integrity

13th February 2012

Well, that's not what I meant.
Apparently CRC32 and CRC16 are weak in that they can cause collisions (moreso than MD5), and also apparently can be circumvented (it is apparently possible to alter a file without changing its CRC).

File integrity

13th February 2012

I've started a tool called Manifestation for generating manifests for use with the patcher I wrote.
Obviously I need a way to ensure file integrity when downloading, so I thought the best way would be to include a checksum for each file with the manifest.*snip*
