For all who do not know, 24 Season 6 will start on the 14th of January 2007 (and i think a dvd will be released on that day with the first 4 episodes and a 12 minute preview of episode 5). There was a preview of S6 on the 24 Season 5 dvd. Edit: Screenshots added. Spoiler is in the last few pictures. Edit2: XML-RPC is being screwy again.
Heh, today is the second last day of school for the year, and the end of many great tv shows for 2006. Some of which include: Jericho (ended today, although, i must say they hyped the so called cliffhanger up a lot, when it really wasn’t much), Prison Break (very good cliffhanger, didn’t expect it at all. To watch some behind-the-scenes stuff on fox.com/amex look at one of my earlier posts) and My Name is Earl (finished tonight on Channel Seven). Now Channel Ten/Seven/Nine/SBS etc will be feeding crap down our necks for the next 8 weeks. The start includes American Idol (the ads are almost as gay as the tv show itself). Although, some reasonably good shows are coming back such as Numb3rs (as they are expected to have at least ONE decent show for the christmas season). In around 15 hours I shall be on 8 weeks of holidays. Goddamn.
Earler today, I posted about the AIM “talk virus”. The Firefox web browser has a fairly crippling vulnerability that was discovered recently. If a web page has a long title, the browsers history.dat file can be corrupted, thus making the browser un startable. Mozilla stated recently that it is working on a patch, and it advised users to be careful in their web surfing habits. There has been a proof of concept that has been posted on the internet. The link to the PoC is at the bottom of the article. If you go to it, you will not be able to start Firefox again unless you delete the history.dat file from your profile. This is generally in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Proof of Concept: Do not click this unless you intend to disable your browser. Ok. If you do, it’s not my fault.
There was this GREAT movie on Channel 9 (Patriot Games) on Friday night, but I couldnt watch it because the reception on my TV Tuner Card software was down the toilet, even though the TV in the lounge room has crystal clear channel 9 coverage (and crappy ABC, but who watches the ABC anyway).
The only channel that is exceptional on the tuner card is probably channel 10, where all the good shows are (like Numb3rs, Law And Order, Blind Justice and so on). My channel 7 coverage is ok, but its not the greatest. Looks like i’ve gota get me a better TV Tuner card some time…for now it’ll do. There better not be another good show on channel 9 tonight….
For all that are wondering where to get the TV Guide for australia from its on Channel 9’s Site. Some other werid stuff is happening with the TV Tuner card too…apparently I can tune into the local radio stations when i go to Channel 6 and manually edit the frequency…cool.
