I have been informed that there is a few copyright issues on the videos of Wrights Productions and this includes Tweaked for your Viewing Pleasure for certain reasons.

This is not however bad news for my fans. For your pleasure I am going to be re-uploading these to my YouTube account (remember originally I never was able to upload long videos) but will be editing them to fix them up at parts. These will include the new modern intro, HD resolution although it will be on a dolphin backdrop and the start of each video will be re-done to state what happened.

For this reason, Playing Games with Snat will be slowed down until I do them all so expect a PGWS maybe once a week rather than twice a week.

Well, sorry to hear Popmanw. I would also like to do a quick shout out to Amazing World Music.com for providing music in some of my videos, and hope I am still able to keep using them in future

Now we will skip the part about Wrights Productions as he will sort that out and it is none of our problems. What has happened is some videos for Tweaked for your Viewing Pleasure has somewhat “debatable” copyrighted content and some have now started flagging up on YouTube.

For the record for those that do not understand, any video now on my official channel (Snat’s YouTube Crap) is fine. Tweaked for your Viewing Pleasure is all fine, Playing Games with Snat has some claims for its music which is fine, The’Dog gets claims for the music which is fine (ads only display on the video) and one Snat’s vBlog has a music claim on it (again, is fine).

It is the videos that is hosted at Popmanw’s channel for Tweaked for your Viewing Pleasure that is having the issues (aka, the original old videos). So what I am doing is simply going to re-edit these videos to make sure there is no issues with copyright and all that and then upload them onto my channel from the link above.

So quick questions for those that asked me last night before 3G died.

Will you keep making videos?

Yes

Does this mean all your videos are gone?

No. It means they will all end up on my account.

Will the old ones still stay?

Yes

I am sure everyone remembers “That Russian Guy” who caused the issue about this domain (Not for Sale), spammed on Just a Community, posted porn and somewhat questionable porn on Just a Community in the hope that Tweaked for your Pleasure will close down so that I will hand over the domain to him to pass onto the person he sold it too in the first place.

I am pleased to say that as of now he has been arrested.

Further news will be added if it becomes public.

Well this was all good but what happened is the I/O on the SAN unit went nuts and well it crashed a lot of things and forced VPS.NET to ultimately having to stop the SAN synchronization and delay it until a later time.

So at around 6:30pm everything started to come back online. However that was not the end of it as all my databases decided to crash and messed up. I fixed them at around 9pm and everything is still working up to now.

This said there seems there will be more downtime coming but this is expected downtime in which I will get another system to take the load for a while. The email below is about the up and coming downtime that was sent from vps.net.

Dear Customer,

As you aware the LON-I SAN you are currently on is experiencing
slowness due to a re-sync caused by the Starwinds SAN solution. We
expect this to be complete by the end of Sunday 12th Feb 2012. However
due to this issue we are elect to bring forward our maintenance window
for replacing this SAN. As such starting next Tuesday,14th Feb 2012,
we will be migrating people from Starwinds, to a new enterprise class
HP Storage solution which offers much higher levels of performance and
stability. There will be no data loss or IP change in this process.

As part of this Windows VPS on this cloud will see a reboot, Linux VPS
will not see any downtime at all as the migration will be seamless.
Going forward this will make the cloud much more stable. Should you
have any questions or comments regarding this do please let us know by
emailing <REMOVED>

Regards
VPS.net

So there you have it – that is why it went down. Oh and CloudFlare – why did you not make any cache pages?

Tut tut.

In case you do not know but Look at my Spam is a website that is a small project to find how easy it was to get spammed by just leaving one email link at the bottom of a website. Well I can say safety so far with the project, I am getting roughly five emails a minute. Some of the emails are coming from Yahoo groups, random marketing and some people who feels it is funny to email stuff there hoping their email will be published on the website.

You have to remember that email is never used on anything so any email sent to it you can safety say is spam and non agreed too. Anyway that is it for today – there is no rant or anything today so come back another time.

In the past I was thinking of doing something like “who can comment the most” or “who can do X the most” and then I was thinking of something like “Try to work out what X means” and while the second one is very interesting, I have found many people simply are not able to work it out.

So I thought for some time what could be a fun contest which would both be interesting to see and would actually allow people to think but also for anyone to enter. With all this in mind I have decided to start a contest so welcome too….

Remaster the master in January 2012

The idea of the contest is very simply – all you do is take something I have written, reviewed or rant about and then change it in any way that makes it better than the original. So if you wanted to let say take any of my articles such as Zombies Apocalypse and then either do something like rewriting it, or heck even turning it into a video.

How you change it is purely up to you as long as it is related to the content that is found on Tweaked for your Pleasure. You have until the end of next month. Please send everything to me. So if you do an article, email it to me. If you make a video then upload it to somewhere like Rapidshare and then email it to me – you get the idea.

The winner will be picked by me, so go.

… oh what you want to know what the winner gets? Well the winner can have something up to £30 cash value I suppose.

The legal bit

Anything you make for this contest you agree NOT to publish it anywhere and that I have the full rights over whatever you create for the contest. You also agree that anything you enter I am allowed to publish and edit your creation in any way I wish – you will be credited for.

Anything you create for the contest MUST be clearly referred (such as text / link that says Original Article: Article Name – Tweaked for your Pleasure). Beyond using my content for this contest, you have no right to publish or edit my content in any way. You agree that everything created is to be sent to me only and never published anywhere else unless I agree in advance.

So for now I have removed IntenseDebate and have left the default comment form up and running for those that still wishes to comment and to replies to others on it. I am not sure how long I may keep the comments for but if you like commenting, post a comment on this news article and tell me what you like about the comments.

As I said before to people – I have nothing wrong with people who wish to comment but the website is starting to look empty with blank comments and yes, that is my reasoning on why to remove it. Another reason is simply because I get so much spam and little legit comments I am starting to feel it is not worth having the comments and then there is the issue with people emailing me their comments rather than using the comment form.

So yes, if you got any feedback let me know about this.

As I am sure you know Jesus is a central figure within Christianity and Christians views him as the Messiah that is foretold within the Tanakh that was born in roughly c. 5 BCE and died roughly in c. 30 CE (or AD if you prefer) and Christians believe he is the son of G’d. Christians also believe he provided salvation and reconciliation with G’d to the whole of mankind by dying for their sins and then ultimately raising himself from the dead. Oh and he is important to the Islamic faith but no one really gives a shit about them.

Even if you was not the son of G’d or if you was not even real, you have spread a message of peace and hope to many and that is enough for me to say happy birthday to you.

So a message to all peeps out there on Tweaked for your Pleasure which is – Merry Christmas everybody and none of that sessions greeting crap. Rather then checking Tweaked for your Pleasure just go out and see your family, your friends and anyone else you may know. Even go and visit that person down the road who may not meet anyone else otherwise.

Just remember not everyone has someone to see, so go on and meet them and give them a Christmas to remember. Oh and do remember there are some people still on Just a Community so do drop off a Merry Christmas or two there.

So Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah (yep, don’t forget it is still Hanukkah people).

And on this second note, this is Snat signing offline for this year so have a Happy New Year and have a drink for me.

Farewell.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay.

When it’s dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made it out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.

It has a lovely body, with legs so short and thin.

When it gets all tired, it drops and then I win!
Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, with leg so short and thin.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it drops and then I win

My dreidel’s always playful. It loves to dance and spin.

A happy game of dreidel, come play now let’s begin.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, it loves to dance and spin.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel. Come play now let’s begin.

I have a little dreidel. I made it out of clay.

When it’s dry and ready, dreidel I shall play.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, I made you out of clay.
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel, then dreidel I shall play.

It is this time again where Hanukkah comes around and everyone plays with dreidels and bet chocolate coins and quietly wishes the other player messes up so you get to eat all of their coins and then find out those was real ones.

Happy Hanukkah.

Also on a sad note, Playing Games with Snat: Dragonball Z Legacy of Goku 2 is currently on hold due to technical issues. I will be carrying on with Final Fantasy VI Advance until further notice. For those too lazy to click a link, here is the last vBlog.

You will need to click the article title to be able to see the embedded content.

Your donation will go towards a new computer which will be solely used for editing Playing Games with Snat. So what is in it for you. Well the main thing that is in it for you is simply Playing Games with Snat will be published on time and in future I will be able to do actual HD games as due to the current setup – that is next to impossible without taking around 2 hours per clip (on average, one clip – 5 mins).

Oh and do not forget, I am accepting game donations from people. If you wish to do that, leave a comment with an email I can contact you on or use the contact link that you can find on the top right hand side of Tweaked for your Pleasure.

By proxy, this system will also allow more Tweaked for your Viewing Pleasure: The Rants to be edited and published.
