My previous blog which I gave up on because I’m a lazy ass hoe which did quite successful due to this article (amongst others) so I’ve decided to reproduce it.

You won’t need to install anything or give personal information to third parties.  It’s quite simple.

There is NO 100% POSITIVE WAY TO TELL IF SOMEONE HAS OR HAS NOT BLOCKED YOU ON MSN / WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER but the method below should increase your chances of knowing who has blocked you.

1. Open Windows Live Messenger > Contacts > Save Instant Messaging Contacts.  Save it somewhere convenient like the desktop and call it ‘contacts.ctt) (the file will have a .ctt extenstion automatically.)
2. Start a new Windows Live / MSN / Hotmail Account under a pseudonym which looks like a relatively common name and fill out a common name on the form, for example, johnadams78@hotmail.com with the name ‘John Adams’  When signing up for the account do not enter REAL PERSONAL INFORMATION or you’ll be found out.
3. Sign into MSN Messenger / Windows Live Messenger with the new username but before you do SIGN IN AS ‘APPEAR OFFLINE.‘ You will never sign in as being online in this account (unless you have twisted aims.)
4. This time go to Contacts > Import Instant Messaging Contacts and browse for the file you saved in Step 1 and import the list.
5. All the people on the list will recieve the invite box for MSN / Windows Live Messenger and if you have some sort of generic name and e-mal address that doesn’t seem suspicious, they will more than likely accept.  If they don’t, then this method is down the toilet.
6. As the contacts accept the invites, they will pop up as being online but they won’t see you because you will be appearing offline.  You will know they have blocked you because a) their name / personal message on MSN / WLM will have changed OR you sign into your original MSN / WLM account and compare the two lists.  You can sign into 2 msn / WLM accounts by signing in on the program and online for the other account; this can be done at MSN Webmessenger , Meebo.com OR eBuddy.com or e-Messenger.net.  If contacts send you e-mails or offline instant messages asking who you are, just don’t reply and they’ll undoubtedly forget about it.

If you don’t know what goatse is then you have probably been living in a cage being fed by monkeys from the antartic for the past 40 years.

Wikipedia says “Goatse was an Internet shock site. Its front page featured a picture, hello.jpg, showing a naked man stretching his anus to a large and disproportionate size, with the inside of his rectum clearly visible. Below his gaping anus, his dangling, semi-flaccid penis and scrotum were visible, as well as a ring on the ring finger of his left hand.”

The wikipedia page has a link to the original site (since been removed) but if you want it try here be warned.

Anyways I found this quite funny when I was in Prague recently and it gave me a good lol.

They have lots of different goatse style pictures on metros, even the tube in London but this is the best I’ve seen.  They are usually referring to prying the doors open with your hands in case of emergency.

It just fixes a few bugs apparently but you must reinstall all your music, videos etc.  It messed up my iPod Touch so I needed to restore although I was told I didn’t need to.

I haven’t used my iPod yet since I updated properly so I’ll let you know as soon as I see changes.  If anyone knows of any, please comment.
