After a few years of me failing to update this site, and wasting money with UKHost4U (whom I would personally, NOT recommend for any of your hosting needs), I will be taking BlackFade down. I will be making a copy of the wordpress site and re-publishing it sometime in the near future, so the two subjects which have proved popular (Scott Pilgrim and MooTools) will be back up and running sometime in the future but under a new domain.
I haven’t decided what that domain will be just yet, but I’m hoping it will be a more professional name so that I can actually do some work on it, and not feel embarrassed every time I give out my email address to a client.
If anyone has any requests of me, please comment or send me an email. It was fun while it lasted .
The site will be going down sometime after the 1st of February (depending how long it takes my host to take it down).

Hackers have responded to BlackBerry‘s press release stating they will help police by releasing all information about their customers to help flush out rioters.
This hack is a response to this statement by RIM:
“We feel for those impacted by this weekend’s riots in London. We have engaged with the authorities to assist in any way we can. As in all markets around the world Where BlackBerry is available, we cooperate with local telecommunications operators, law enforcement and regulatory officials. Similar to other technology providers in the UK we comply with The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and co-operate fully with the Home Office and UK police forces.”
Dear Rim;
You Will _NOT_ assist the UK Police because if u do innocent members of the public who were at the wrong place at the wrong time and owned a blackberry will get charged for no reason at all, the Police are looking to arrest as many people as possible to save themselves from embarrassment…. if you do assist the police by giving them chat logs, gps locations, customer information & access to peoples BlackBerryMessengers you will regret it, we have access to your database which includes your employees information; e.g – Addresses, Names, Phone Numbers etc. – now if u assist the police, we _WILL_ make this information public and pass it onto rioters…. do you really want a bunch of angry youths on your employees doorsteps? Think about it…. and don’t think that the police will protect your employees, the police can’t protect themselves let alone protect others….. if you make the wrong choice your database will be made public, save yourself the embarrassment and make the right choice. don’t be a puppet..
p.s – we do not condone in innocent people being attacked in these riots nor do we condone in small businesses being looted, but we are all for the rioters that are engaging in attacks on the police and government…. and before anyone says “the blackberry employees are innocent” no they are not! They are the ones that would be assisting the police
I am a born again Christian. Why is this a problem for people????! I have a house that’s MINE and I PAID FOR IT. I also have a basement apartment for rent. It’s a great space for I’m charing very little for it, $480 monthly, for the right tenant. I know it’s ILLEGAL to require a Christian in the apartment, against the human rights. That’s why I NEVER put this in my ad. Why then does it keep getting taken down? Read the rest of this entry »
