Over the past week I have released three new projects of mine, which are as follows.
CrackerHash - a program I developed originally for the purpose of demonstrating how inefficient brute forcing can be as the number of potential combinations increases, however can be an effective tool for reverse engineering MD5 hashes. It should be noted I take no responsibility for any activity you use this application for, it has been released as a means of data recovery and as an educational tool and I do not encourage this to be used for any illegal activity.
MyVimeo - a WordPress widget which allows you to display your latest activity on Vimeo in the sidebar of your blog. It is fully customisable in that it allows you to specify how many activities you wish to display and allows you to customise the title of the plugin in the sidebar to whatever you want.
tweetbox – a WordPress plugin that let’s you display your latest tweet(s) in the sidebar of your blog, in a manner which will not disrupt the rest of your blog should Twitter be slow in responding.
After getting my new jazz bass I have been dying to get some good recordings done with it, but due to lack of equipment I have had nothing to use until tonight when I remembered I actually had a £200 mixer sat away gathering dust.
It took me a while to get my head around it and had to mither a friend of mine for some advice (check out his band The Portlands), but I am pretty happy with the quality that some of the recordings were coming out.
Click the play button on the small media player below to check out a sample of a recording I did. There has been no editing on the recording other than lowering the master track’s volume, a pretty impressive sound for just a raw recording in my opinion; let me know what you think though.

This bass is absolutely awesome, managed to pick it up for £170 and it sounds brilliant; this is proof that Squier are fully capable of creating a bass equally as good as Fender. The Duncans on this bass sound amazing compared to the pickups on my other jazz bass (from a Fender American jazz).
In addition to how awesome it sounds, it looks brilliant! As far as I am concerned there is no better looking bass than the 75 jazz, I’ve opted to not have any pick guards though as I always feel a bit restricted when they are on (never been keen on them).
I’ve posted a little demonstration video on YouTube, but it really does not do the bass any justice, I recorded it with just my camera as I currently have no recording equipment so the sound has come out very low and a bit distorted at places, but believe me this bass is worth every penny!
This is actually a really simple encounter, but it seems many people are struggling with it.
At the start of the fight switch your paradigm to Medic – Medic and continue to heal, typically he targets only one person and sticks on that target; if he is targeting Hope then be sure to start casting your heals before he attacks as Hope will take big damage.
Once Odin uses his shield ability (it will indicate he is using a shield in text above his head, and he will be standing still not attacking) switch the paradigm to Commando – Ravager and spam your auto-attack.
Keep repeating these steps and you should beat the doom timer in no time!
I did this and finished with a five star rating and didn’t come close to dying once.
EDK is a new project of mine which is still in its infancy but is progressing at a rather promising speed. The goal of EDK is to provide a high quality and customisable drum module that is compatible with a plug and play kit.
The drum kit consists of four highly durable pads (similar to those you would find on any retail electric drum kit) and one pedal which connect to the MadCatz RB module via male stereo connections on the end of each pad. Once the pads are connected to the module, the module then connects to the computer via USB.
As can be seen in the demonstration video below the interaction code is fully working, along with the resource management (otherwise you wouldn’t be able to load and use the sounds), however there is still quite a long way to go before it is of much use to anyone as I still have to work on the GUI that allows for customisation; it is all coming all very nicely though.
If you have the time leave some feedback and let me know what you think of it so far
