  • The Tim Westwood Challenge

    Ok, so since re-hosting the Original Tim Westwood Soundboard, we’ve been onย  a bit of a Westwood ting!

    DJB found every westwood album ever, hosted on his very own soundcloud (what a legend!) so we have started from the top and are working our way through every single Tim Westwood album since 2001.

    Heavy hit, after heavy hit.

  • I’ll probably regret this…

    I had an hour or so to burn last night and I was on my laptop sorting some crypto stuff and tidying up my local backed up files, when I found a page that I had saved from the Wayback machine, it was a page of blogs from 2006 that I posted on here, but when this website was powered by some other software.

    I then realised that since its birth, this website had been made in roughly 4 different operating systems, and I know for a fact I didnt port posts from all of them, so I spent the next hour or so trawling the wayback machine from 2003 to the present day, ensuring all the posts I have ever made since 2003 are on this website.

    Now, I have a few comments missing and possibly one or two posts missing, but I’m pleased to announce that this blog is now an (almost) complete story of my life for the last 15 years.

    Many of the posts from the early days dont exactly read very well, it was very much a “weblog” back in the day, and some of the content is extremely incriminating but you know what – I have nothing to hide, im not ashamed of my past, and for that very reason I am today lifting the paygate that I’ve had on the website for the last few years. My posts are no longer censored.

    0lly.co.uk (or 0lly.uk more recently) for the last 15 years, in pure uncensored glory.

    Enjoy.

    We used to use this Tim Westwood Soundboard all the time, when we won a contract, when we made a website live… then one day, it vanished?!

    I scoured the internet and found a wonderful human who had made a command line Tim Westwood soundboard – very cool. Anyway, he had used the original SWF to get the audio files out of it, so I reached out to him and BLAMMO he had the original SWF! Big shout to Jacob, the big dog!!!

    EDIT: You may need to enable flash on this site to get it to work, in Google Chrome;

    The original Tim Westwood Soundboard was hosted here, but for some reason they took the main SWF down. I will host this soundboard until the end of time, UNDERSTAND THAT!

  • Phone Screen Repairs – New Business Venture

    Ive always had an interest in technology, I played with computers from an early age (1992/1992) and had a mobile phone from the age of 13 onwards. I always played around with the devices I owed, from adding GPS support and the TomTom software to an old Symbian Nokia phone, through to hacking my HTC Desire so it treated an SD card as internal storage therefore making the phone actually usable haha.

    Anyway, I just got on with life but always had an interest in phones, tablets, and general smart/modern technology. Many years after my first phone,ย  I found that family members and friends were asking me to look at their broken phones and tablets – I always obliged and I found the whole process quite fun actually. This got me thinking… Perhaps even in this day and age, where smartphones and similar tech are considered to be “throwaway” – and in what is actually a reasonably saturated, could I turn this little hobby into a small side business?

    I posted a message on my Facebook asking if anyone had any broken phones that needed fixing – the response was pretty overwhelming to be honest!

    This is just from people who have dropped them off!!

    So it seems I may be able to keep myself busy in the evenings and make some extra cash too! Win win!
