Starfleet - X-Bomber DVD

On Saturday morning's in the early odd 80's I remember I use to go to my nan's house and watch a ITV TV show called Starfleet X-Bomber.
You could say it was similar to Thunderbirds with the puppet thing but in space and the effects at the time was like wow factor.



Story of the show was based around 2999 and the Earth is in danger from an alien bitch named Makara on her search for F-Zero One.
The Earth uses its new weapon the x-project in the search for this F-Zero One and lead Makara away from the Sol system.

The show is a classic and is released on DVD UK from 1st September onwards, there is versions of the show on the torrents or ebay but this DVD version should be in better quality.
I do think the price is a bit steep around on the 25 to 30 pound mark on the September release but in time the price should drop.

If you want to see some clips of the show then check out You Tube.

News - Virgin Control Mongers !!

Been a while since the last update but this is an interesting thing that our good friendly ISP Virgin Media have done recently.
Since they introduced traffic monitoring to its customers on limits of uploads and downloads between 16:00 to 21:00 every night, now Once again they have changed it by adding even more restictions.

I only noticed the news myself after browsing through the Broadband forums and was quite shock on what I had just seen I just laughed.

Before I shock you with their new timetable I would advice the window of downloading would be ideal between 21:00 to 10:00

I will not link the Virgin Media time table site where I got this table from but I shall link to the cable broadband forums where this is dicussed in more updated detail.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/12/33634212-changes-to-traffic-mangement.html

It is a nice table has you can see but if you notice the lower the package you have the more your restricted to in the limit amount, this could make the VM customer go for an higher package by adding more change into VM's pocket.
I could go into more context on what this table could mean or what are VM true intentions but this is WokkaWorld not nag world :).

Thats not all UK ISP's have been upto over the last months, with Virgin partnership with BPI regaring net usage to BT love with Phorm.
More on these stories can be found on the http://www.cableforum.co.uk/ forums, I do suggest checking the forum out its great for info.

Iris 2 (UO 3D Client)

For those who do not know about the game Ultima Online it is an MMORPG thats been around for about 10 years and is still going.
There are shards out there that require an monthly subscription and there are shards out there that can be played for free.

It is News to me that there is a program out there called Iris 2 that works with free shards and Ultima but makes the world in 3D.
There are some video's on You Tube about Iris 2 and a Wiki type page with full of info that can be found on the link below.

http://www.iris2.de/index.php/Main_Page

Has for testing it I will give it ago and let you's know how it feels etc on the next update on WokkaWorld, stay tuned.

**Update Monday 9th 2008**

Been a while since I tested Iris 2 and even though it is at its early stages, Iris 2 did not appeal to me in graphic wise.
An idea of UO3D is a dream given form but Iris 2 still needs a lot of work but maybe if it had an updated graphic engine would be cool.
I will advise that Iris might still grab some peoples attention so do not just take my word on Iris 2 from testing it yourselfs.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/features/late-edition.shtml

The Late Edition is a comedy UK talk show hosted by Marcus Brigstocke what is aired on BBC Four channel at Wednesdays 11pm.
The show is a mixture of comical piss takes on the weeks happenings within the news and media from all around the world.

Since I have been watching this show it allways brings a smile to my face with its enjoyable rip at politicians and celebs a like.
Even if you do not get BBC Four where you live you can allways try a search on You Tube for some Late Edition clips.

A word of warning though the show does have some swearing in it but its all a good laugh at the end of the day.
