The game runs on both PC and Apple Mac, but I believe they’ve release a mobile version now for Andriod and iOS users. That said there is talk of a possible Playstation and xBox360 version, but we shall have to wait and see for that. I also recommend anyone who loved lego as a child to try minecraft, because it reminds me of the times when I used to build cool stuff with lego, Oh those we’re the days!

Here’s a quick picture of a basic castle built in game.

For those who are still unsure of what Minecraft actually is about then see the below wikipedia ref.

Minecraft is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: Survival, which requires players to acquire resources themselves and maintain their health and hunger; and Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no concept of health or hunger. A third gameplay mode, named Hardcore, ratchets up the difficulty of surviving and forces the player to delete his or her world upon death. An outdated Classic version is also available for free, although it is no longer being developed. Creative Minecraft resembles Classic, but with many more features.

So I’ve been playing minecraft at least once or twice a week for a few hours at a time for the past year or so (Since around Beta 0.7, The current version is now Full release 1.1), and I must admit Im not bored of it in the slightest! I always find something good to make or an idea to build something cool.

Lately I’ve been building some good objects in the game either on my own or with a couple of friends (Multiplayer building is the best!), and so i’ve decided to create a few videos so others can see these. I’ve also made a few cool break throughs with the game play and so I’ve released a few video tutorials on my findings. If you’re interested on what I’ve built recently then check the embedded video’s below.

This weeks Creative Builds

I’m definately going to release more videos on the things I’ve created in minecraft, as I feel its an art form and agood way to express and possibly inspire others with things to create in the game.

Your Comments and Idea’s

So i’ve done a few videos now and I have had a few comments back from these, and they’ve been really positive! What im looking for though is some idea’s from you guys on what I could possibly build next, So if you have one then you can post below in the comments section of this page or even by sending me a twitter mention – My twitter handle is @cun. I look forward to hearing some of your suggestions! Thanks!

That said I think I will make this into a feature on my blog and keep the tracks rolling in. For those of you not into this genre I’m not just into Drum and bass, I’m currently also a massive long time dubstep fan So i will most likey do a Dubstep special, also likewise I will do other genre’s as im an avid rocker!

Anyway as promised here is the below list of all the tracks that I feel help me to get through a day of work every once in a while. I hope you Enjoy.

“Drum and Bass, working hard!” Part 1 of this post can be found here.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
$ sudo do-release-upgrade

So what i’ll do is walk you through how to update Ubuntu to Lucid and then the “fun” really starts. What you’ll find is when the update manager “apt” throws this message back in your face you’ll be stuck in a void of nothing and won’t be able to update without manually intervening.

Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found

I tried various other methods, and then I came across this method again of doing,

$ sudo apt-get dist-update

I thought I was onto a winner as the server started to update, only to find that when I did a lookup at the version my Ubuntu was using it reported that I was still using 9.04!

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"


How annoying this is turning out to be! Right back to the drawing board.
After a good bit of googling, and a bit of intuitive I managed to get the OS to update… Well not to the latest version, but I thought If i go from Jaunty (9.04) to Karmic (9.10) then I could update to Lucid (10.04)+ Which has the LTS (Long Time Support) which in my eyes is needed for LAMP Servers!

This is how I got it to work…

You first of all need to change your /etc/apt/sources.list and inside of that file you need to comment everything out with #’s and add these lines to the very bottom

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse


Easiest way on ubuntu to edit said file would be to do:

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Once you’ve done that, and saved the file with CTRL + X then hit Y for allowed to Overwrite, and its just a case of running the apt update commands again like so:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Once thats all updated you should be running a most upto date version of Jaunty, after this you need to update to Karmic.
So to do this we need to tell apt-where to look for Karmic update, So its back into the sources to change the url from Jaunty to Karmic

Replace these lines that we added earlier:-
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-security main restricted universe multiverse


With these lines:-
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse


Then save and overwrite it again, and continue to update in the same way with the following commands:-

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Now we and make sure its updated to Karmic 9.10

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Karmic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10"


Note: I managed to get an issue with a package or to, and it would seem that this is a common issue, so if you come into contact with this “/var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-runtime-data_4%3a4.4.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb” You might want to try this (At your own risk!)

$ sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*
Then once you’ve done that, do the updates again (Sorry it gets boring with writing the update commands, but this is a tutorial so I’m keeping it super easy and simple).
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If that still throws an error, you might want to try this.

$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-runtime-data_4%3a4.4.5-0ubuntu1_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install
$ sudo apt-get autoremove

This fixed my issue, so I then moved onto checking my version with the overused command:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release

So you should be currently running Karmic 9.10! Great! You’re half way through this update.

Next time to tell the server to update to 10.04, So again we need to edit our Sources

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Yet this time we’re not looking for an older version so the URL are differnt.

Change this:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse

to this:
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse


Then its just a case of rise and repeat with the update commands

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Once thats completed, check your version!
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04.3
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS"


Thats you now running 10.04.3 and you now just need to repeat the exact same process for updating to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) and then to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty).
It’s a lengthy process but I’m sure you’ll all agree keeping these things updated often saves massive future headaches!

I hope that helps anyone who has been struggling updating their server install from a very out dated OS version.
Any issues or questions then please leave a comment below.

Thanks Dan.

What I’ve found with facebook is that, I moved there because origianlly MySapce was “where it was at”, That soon lost its cool vibe when Facebook came along with its sleek looks normal user feel, without being run on the backend of the music scene and lack of adverts. Since then Facebook has grown and grown in size to what we know and see today, but the thing im finding now with facebook is people that I dont know adding me randomly, Im getting spam from other users who are getting “fraped” aka facebook raped, as its globally known as, and people requesting that I play farm ville because they need my help to make there farm better… Now im not sure if you to are in the same mindset as me but I couldn’t really care if Megan Fox added me, and if my nextdoor neigbour is posting a status of “I like man love, ok” or how good of a virtual farmer you are… All i origianlly signed up for with facebook was to see photos of me and my friends and organise the odd party or event!

So in my eyes Facebook has started to turn into Myspace, infact it hasn’t at all… its now worse! This is why Google+ has my vote, you’ll notice that the user interface of Google Plus looks a whole lot like Facebook, but better. The UI is cleaner, crisper and easier to navigate and currently it has zero adverts!

I’m in love with Google Plus maybe because I can follow other tech bloggers and journalists and some Google employees.

Lets just see how this lasts, and how long it is before facebook, or another site counter acts to this new Google Plus Service! I think they’re going to have a hard time matching something as clean and big as a good Google service like this! Its outright, brilliant!

Here’s a short video from the guys over at Google, and you’ll see exactly what I mean after watching this.

Also it’s not available in CentOS repositories so in this article I want to tell you how to installed manually used the tarball

First, download the OpenSSH source tarball from the vendor and unpack it. You can find the tarballs at http://www.openssh.com/portable.html

# wget http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/openssh/portable/openssh-5.8p2.tar.gz

# tar -xvzf openssh-5.8p2.tar.gz

Copy the spec file and tarball:
# cp ./openssh-5.8p2/contrib/redhat/openssh.spec /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
# cp openssh-5.8p1.tar.gz /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/

Let’s make the specified files and do some installing:
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# perl -i.bak -pe 's/^(%define no_(gnome|x11)_askpass)\s+0$/$1 1/' openssh.spec

Build the RPM
# rpmbuild -bb openssh.spec

Now if you go back into /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ , Navigate into the folder that suits your OS install, (x86 was mine), You should then see three RPMs. Go ahead and install them:
# rpm -Uvh *.rpm

To verify the installed version, just type
# ssh -v localhost

You should get an out put like the following:
OpenSSH_5.8p2 CentOS *, OpenSSL 0.* **********

* = Version numbers so ignore those, as I didn’t want to disclose that information.

Just imagine, one evening, as you’re walking around your neighborhood, you see this thing zipping past you in the sky!

It doesnt stop there though, They do two versions, the above one is the full scale RcSuperhero. It’s 75 inches tall, weighs approximately 3 pounds, and has an “arm span” or wingspan of 45 inches. The other is one slightly smaller at 57 inch, but still just as impressive! Check this smaller one out in the video below.

RC Superhero Info

Flight characteristics: Great! This is due to the low weight to surface area and that it has a high wing like a Piper cub with a low center of gravity. In addition, he has plenty of vertical tail surfaces due to the double side bodies; which adds to the stability. Also, the RcSuperhero has oversized control surfaces and likes to fly upright. He takes off by being thrown or by standing upright in a stand and lands on his belly skids.

Thrust: The RcSuperhero has about 6 pounds of thrust; this allows for vertical take off. RcSuperhero Package Includes: laser-cut foam, substructure materials, control horns, a plywood motor mount, 2 sizes of rubber bands, carbon fiber fabric strands, two 4mm square arm spars and other various carbon fiber sizes, a picassa photo build album with captions, materials list, and e-support materials (directions and tech. information).

Degree of Building Difficulty: Best if you have previous modeling experience.
Pilot’s skill requirement: Although the RcSuperhero is not a trainer any average rc pilot can fly this. If you are inexperienced I recommend that you practice ahead of time on a simulator.

Until i did a bit of looking around in the settings…

Firefox 4, The new look…

So Firefox 4 looks like this…

As you can see, New orange button in the top left, Which may i add is annoying, as this is where all the options are for the browser e.g Tools, Bookmarks etc…
The tabs bar is now abovethe address bar, which is also highly annoying as Im so used to that being below the address bar.

Firefox 3, The target look.

The Firefox 3 browser looks more like this (see below) and thats the look and feel that Im aiming for with Firefox 4.

How to Make Firefox 4 look like Firefox 3

So… Lets look at making it look like Firefox 3!

Launch Firefox 4 and install the Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4 add-on.

Of course a restart will be required to complete the process… (as always with new plugins!)

Next, Right-click an empty area to the right of a tab and click on Customize.

In the Customize Toolbar screen click on Restore Default Set

Right-click an area to the right of a tab again and check Menu Bar.

That gets rid of the Firefox Menu button and replaces it with the Menu Bar like in Firefox 3, Now we’re cooking on gas!

Click on View >> Toolbars and check the Add-on Bar.

Go back to View >> Toolbars then turn off Tabs on Top.

Another thing you might need to do is go back into Customize Toolbar and move the Home icon from the right side of the screen to the left.

And That’s all there is to it! Now you have Firefox 4 with all it’s under the hood benefits, but it looks like Firefox 3 which may be more familiar for you.
What do you think? Do you like the new layout of Firefox 4 or would you rather have it look like Firefox 3? Leave me a comment below and let us all know!

So for all you iPhone fan’s! I’m selling a iPhone 3Gs thats in relatively good condition no screen scratches etc, Its only a year old. Was made on the First week of 2010, (Apple creation date code 001). This phone has been looked after and its condition shows this.

Its running the latest version of iOS (which is currently 4.3.1 at the time of this advert).
It was origianlly on the network carrier O2 and It’s jailbroken and unlocked to all networks.
It comes complete with the original Box, Charger and Cable. Along with the various other media that Apple supply with the iPhone.
Also I’m throwing in an InCase iPhone 3G/3Gs case with this iPhone.

I have taken photos of the said iPhone below so that you can see its condition, (Note the back of the phone does have a few scratches from the Incase iPhone case, but the condition is still very good)

Asking price for the iPhone is £260 Please take into account that it’s completely unlocked, upto date and jailbroken, this will work on a Pay-As-You-Go Sim. If you’re interested please contact me via Facebook, or Email. (dan@cunni.co.uk) Thanks.

iPhone Photo’s

I had access to a iPad 1 at work but this newer version is actually quite a bit quicker! The A5 Dual Core really does shine and it improves the iPad and really compliments its usage. So new CPU, GPU, Ram and the new iPhone4 Gyro technology has made the iPad 2 very apealing over the first gen iPad.

What I will say though is, I wasnt a fan of the first iPad, and reason for this is because I didnt see the need for one, but actually using one for quite sometime at work, it slowly appealed to me more and more, and now actually owning one I can see why its got so much hype. Before I would sit down watching TV, or in cafe and just use the iPhone4 to check my mail, but that can always turn out to be a pain especially with the large amount of design work that I actually do. The bigger screen is a massive upside to this and having a device that allows me to tweet, blog, email and read news on without worrying about it being as bulky as my laptop is well, just plain awesome!

The next step!

I don’t think too many people have thought about this but the fact that this little tablet (iPad) is really powerfull is more than besides the point, but the bit I can’t wait for is to Jailbrake the thing and use it to its full potential! Its basically limitless! If you can get things to compile correctly, you can basically install what ever you like (Linux wise). I cn only see it as a matter of time till homebrew linux installs for iPads are available, and with the idea’s I have the future looks really positive for such a small device!

So you’ll probably see another blog post spur off this one when I jailbrake my iPad.

So no matter what the topic is or the item you’re trying to sell is, chances are a sexy looking model (male or female) will help the sale of the item without much effort.

How is this true?

Well here’s an example Reebok have recently just released an advert in the last 5 months for the “easy tone”, basically showing women that they can have a nice looking bum! Now the advert itself is basically so perfect for two reasons, Women want a bum like those on the advert, and guys want women to have that exact bum to! So no matter how you look at that, its a master piece for seduction.

Here’s the ad in question.

Now lads, once you’ve stopped oggling… (hehe) You can see how perfect that the marketing term “sex sells” applies to this advert so very well. It makes me want to go out and buy some of those trainers!

So as far as marketing goes I decided to find some more video’s of seductive models, Now just before we continue I’d like to add these models are not actualy selling anything but we all love a nice sexey model to make our days go faster! So sit back and enjoy these seductive shoots.

Women can sell guys anything!

Kate Beckinsale

Daisy Lowe

Rachel Weisz

Megan Fox

Rosie Huntington-Whitely

Conclusion

(The last one is a personal favourite of mine!)
If this post doesnt convience the few people that I’ve done work with the sex doesnt sell things then, I’m very sorry… But I believe in all my time of online marketing that a sexy model will help a product sell, you just need to harvest and use them in the right context.

I hope you enjoyed my reasoning of why sex sells, It is so very true that it works… I can guarantee that is it so true and that’s why you’ve just been reading this page and watching these video’s for the last 5 minutes!

Disclaimer : Yes this could be just another one of my excuses for posting up really awesome videos of models, but do you blame me? … Afterall we’re only human!

Update: “Drum and Bass, working hard!” Part 2 of this post can be found here.

Most of you who know me on a day to day basis know me well enough to tell me I’m a drum’n'bass junkie! I love the genre! Its so diverse and underground, None of this cheesy pop, slop and crock you hear on the radio every 20 minutes. Drum and bass is a following you have to feel the vibe of the artist to truly appreciate the inspiration of their work.

I find DnB a lot like design work, It takes one of the best parts of your brain to listen to all the details that are happening at any one time in a drum and bass track, likewise with the same goes for designing something. You need a lot of undivided attention to create something and I find that Drum and Bass helps me to realise that I can in fact work more efficiently listening to it on a daily basis… The speed of the music actually keeps me on the edge, I find its almost uplifting! Right now as I write this I’m listening to some old skool drum and bass track by an Artist known very well in the scene call D Kay, The track in question is “D Kay & Epsilon – Barcelona”, I shall Link to it below along with some other all time favourites of mine…

Aside from that I do a bit of Bedroom DJ/Private Party when I get chance and all of the music I have collected on vinyl and various other medium over the years I’ve managed to keep hold of or sampled into my PC. I still use them today in aiding my musical creativity that I have, and let my inner being feel more satisfied with me as a creative. Music I find is the gate to being open minded. Sounds are a big part of my feelings and day to day life. If I didn’t have music I’d really struggle! Someone asked me if I had a choice over Music or my Car, Bearing in mind I need my car to get to work… which would i choose? I replied “Music wins… Hands down, Any day!” – Now that’s true dedication to a cause… (as i work 25 miles away from my home!)

Hopefully the Drum and Bass scene is going to continue to grow has it has been doing over the last couple of years. I’m a religious old skooler as you know and find that some of the new stuff that arrives on the scene is a bit wrong and chompy, but tastes change as do sounds and era’s so let this be a virtual toast to the future of drum and bass, Hopefully it’ll be around for many years to come aiding me to work even harder!

Some of my personal favourite DnB tracks.

I’ve composed a list of around 110 Drum and bass tracks from around the early and late 90′s and early 00′s. These track below are some of the tracks I love and adore in the DnB genre from over the past 20 years, I hope you enjoy my love for this music as much as I do, I’ve happily linked them all to Youtube so that you can listen to them without having to go searching (because I’m really nice like that!) So now you can enjoy the sounds of drum and bass with me. Enjoy!

Now recently I’ve been asked alot about Search Engine Optimization, and how people can improve their own domain listings within Google, Bing, Yahoo and other Search engines without going into the whole symantic drama that is HTML coding.

Being a web developer I thought to myself there is no way to fix a ranking without editing the site! Or is there?… Apprently around 30% of company websites and other small organisations don’t realise that they are infact doing this and they kill off alot of their own rankings due to one little issue that is the www’s!

Still not with me? I’ll run you upto speed on what I’m referring to…
Believe it or not, you can actually ask Google, “How many pages of my website do you have in your memory?”… To do this you need to use the site:url syntax within a Google search, What Google will then do is reply with a list of all your domains pages. Fortunatly if you havn’t been savi and not added this very little fix you will see that Google will have dropped alot of originally decent content and placed it upon the other domain.

Google Search Comparisons

Without www’s

With www’s

Now the above is pretty obvious, I’ve requested all the pages that are in the google listing engine that are registered under the said sites. Obviously these two domains are the same… So why is google indexing them seperately? Thats down to how you have your server/site setup.

Ideally what you want is one domain that is either http://test.com or http://www.test.com and not both.

To fix the issue and gain your search engine rankings quickly you need to tell a visitor to go to either one or the other. Now the question I know you’re going to be asking is, “Which is better, www’s or no www’s?”. Now this is down to personal perference but I personally rather have no www’s, and i’ll explain why.

With the internet progressing with Twitter, Facebook, and other various mobile devices people are using urls more and more day in and day out. Now when you type addresses all day like I do you tent to get bored and annoyed at typing www’s time after time!

Also I actually prefer to go for with the other big reason, I love to use short URLs and www’s are annoying (In my opinion).

The mod_rewrite redirect fix

To impliment this into your site couldn’t be easier! Just FTP onto your webhosting and into the root directory of your hosting files, Usuallly that would be www/ or public_html/ (something like that) create a new file called .htaccess and open it up with your editor.

Paste in the following code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.dancunningham.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://dancunningham.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]


Now if you have multiple Top Level Domains (TLD’s) then you might want to point them all to the same hosting server / directory. Again thats not a problem we can tell the site to handle these in a similar way. Just add the extra domains into your .htaccess like the below example and the apache server will handle the rest.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.dancunningham.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://dancunningham.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.cunni.co.uk [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://dancunningham.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]


I hope that this tutorial makes sense and helps those who are suffering fundamental search engine ranking issues! I only know of these issues as I’ve experienced them for myself. So again im simply passing on some knowledge to help others learn from mine. If anyone has anything they wish to add or comment on then please do so below.
