I dont even know where to start. recently I have registered with Dreamspark since my school is partnered with Microsoft (now if my school could get a deal with redhat / canonical going on…) & now have the ability to run my C# & XNA Projects on a Xbox360. I’m going to review Netrunner OS & could possibly get my review posted up on a big Linux news site. I Recently installed the WebOS SDK & I am having fun with that.

I have 2 programming projects i’m working on & one will be due by the end of the week but it will be the last one i have to do for a while. Next task is learning Python & using Pygame. wanna learn to? go here

Freedom of Speach

grandmasterhack — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:01:42 +0000

now i’ve been trying to post the truth about a certain youtuber but he keeps on getting my content flagged i’ll be posting it on here.

this is a modified quote of linux4unme that he asked me to edit:

Hi. I’ve pretty much stayed out of all this… but since I have seen anti twil videos making him out to be anti Gay and convincing alot of users of tims lies about the whole situation that tim is now dragging up from the past (duno if you have seen these videos yet) I have gathered all my evidence and posted it to everybody involved. here is a copy/paste of everything

This is getting beyond a joke and some people are starting to believe Tim’s twisted Lies about Twil… So I will yet again come to his defence… I know you are friends with tim and will likely be on his side… but still

Ok…. Here is a bunch of evidence I have found from my collection… I’ve lost alot of things, but still have alot to backup my claim that your perspective on Tim is absolutely wrong

I remembered that I made a video explaining the whole story nearly a year ago that I have found… so i will include that with some screenshots of what happened from the start of all this bullshit. Ok, here goes….

Rather than explaining everything with text from the beginning, which would take me all day o_0 i’ll just link you to me explaining it at that point in time

First off…. the LinuxwizKid which tim mentions…. I have never been affiliated with him so I do not know if what tim said is true or not about him saying he hates “fags”….. I personally don’t believe anything tim says because i’ve caught him lying so much but I cannot prove that part…. maybe he did, maybe he didn’t….but Tim and lInuxwizkid had a fallout…. and tim started hate/rant videos about him and bullying him….. Twil did not want to be a part of Osgui anymore because Tim was starting flame wars…. So he left the osgui site…. Then Tim started attacking Twil…. That is where this all started

Tim made this Hate video about Twil

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/5872974/osgui_spastic_tim/

Twil responded with the video you have edited and twisted…..

Then Tim responded with this when Twil defended himself the once

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeBXMePAasY

After that… Twil didn’t want a part in the flamewar anymore so vowed to never talk about Tim again publically… he was being the better man….

At that point in time I I was still quite new to making Linux videos on youtube but already had a few years of Linux experience behind me…. I knew about both sides of the story but avoided any participation on either side…. I was supporting both Osgui by contributing to his forums with tech help to newbies… and was also a fan of what Twil was putting out there. I got warned when i first joined osgui by several people what tim was like… but at that point Tim seemed friendly to me and i wanted to contribute while at the same time build up my own linux channel….

Months went by…. and I often saw posts by tim on his forums bashing/bullying Twil… and after several months I got sick of it… because I knew both sides of the story but didn’t want to get involved… but one day, I decided to come to twils defence… because he didn’t deserve the slander that tim was saying about him…. and here are the original screenshots of me first coming out on the osgui forums and approaching tim about it…..

I replied…. (i scrubbed out twils name because he didn’t want any public attention to be apart of any negative fighting/flamewars)

tim replied rudely to me

I replied

then some others replied

Then I asked tim to remove me from osgui as I was didn’t want to contribute anymore to a community who’s leader is a flame war starting troll and lies about people…. So tim removed and blocked me and swathe, and changed our names to “i hate gays” and “homophobic bigotot”

And then more flame wars started……

http://imageshack.us/f/401/timsnaps13.png/

I was started to get popular on youtube at that time so I decided to start my own community where we can all be friends, be honest, and help others…. so I created my website/forums… several people left osgui and joined my community who were against what osgui tim was doing….

Tim was bashing me on his forums alot after all this…. and alot of people were asking me what happened… so i made this video talking about the whole story

(link removed)

Swathe also made a video explaining what happened

And Tim has been on a Hate rampage ever since and constantly bash myself, swathe, twil etc calling us homophobes, bigots, rednecks, trolls etc etc etc….
But now you know the whole 100% truth side of the story with Proof…. Tim has no proof… Who are you likely to believe? Tim or Myself? Well… that is up to you really…. I don’t care who supports tim and is friends with him…. But the people who support him only know his side of the story and they believe his lies…. I’ll leave it up to you to decide what the truth is

There were several other videos floating about on youtube talking about what tim is like… i found 1 of them

and there were plenty others… but tim got them removed

Well there you go mate…. Take it easy…
I am not being a troll by posting this…. But seeing tim lie and twist the truth on the whole story gets me angry and i want people to know the truth

and for the record… i notice you are a black man of America…. I for one… and no racist and have many black / asian idols who i respect such as 2pac, biggie, chris rock, eddie murphy, chris tucker, bruce lee, jackie chan etc etc… the list goes on….

tim is an obsolute RACIST and i have proof of that also

in my video “osgui exposed” i posted a screenshot of tim saying “you are not human, you are a NIGGER”

And here is another screenshot sent to me today by a japenese guy who has been in conflict with time for a while……..

http://linux4unme.forumotion.com/t4p75-osgui-tim-stuff

yet another racist comment against Blacks! I want to Knock this guy out man seriously!

tim has tried to flag down my video but i’ve reuploaded it to another sit and will continue to. i dont question his sanity but this makes me want to: http://blip.tv/osgui/episode-5785937

Canonical’s New Ubuntu Release Cycle?

grandmasterhack — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 19:00:54 +0000

Now we all wished Canonical spent more time developing its operating system rather than having a release every 6 months right? well they pushed it up to every month. (source) Now, in my honest opinion, ubuntu is the most stable Gnome desktop I’ve used (yes i’ve tried Zorin OS & Linux Mint) despite unity! now, i have no clue what type of changes are going into Ubuntu but just getting a patch for the apt exploit 2 months late doesn’t sound good to me & one of my desktops were affected by it(no need to worry though). Now i know everyone will throw out the argument, “Windows doesn’t get patched till years, Linux is on stable bleeding edge software!” i understand that, but were linux users not windows users & the update should’ve came sooner. So the question must be asked, will this help / hurt Canonical or even all ubuntu based distros in general?
