Yeah I tried the hiding thing. But it seemed like each time I hid something there was a new thing I needed to hide. It got to the point where I started each session by hiding the new things that I didn’t want. In the end I just gave up and wrote it off as hard work. Now I’m using Google+. Shame nobody else is. Creatures of habit I guess. Plus they’ve just added games so maybe my days of hiding from the social networking abusers are numbered. Anyway.

Ah the old days of cassette media. Where if somebody stomped on the floor too suddenly a game would refuse to load. Not convinced this hard drive and USB lark will ever take off.

Cheers Jonny Thankfully FB came in with a raft of ways to hide, block and silence noise like that. Usually it’s a case of hiding the people but the apps are fairly easy to mute. I do remember playing a circus based game on commodore/amiga that loaded off a tape, at my friend William’s house…

Cool article mate. I agree that the web may have become a little bit too accessible. I stuck Facebook for about a year before I became increasingly frustrated by not giving a damn about peoples fake farms and mafia syndicates. As I refer to them, the social networking abusers. The web was cooler when it was more niche and underground I guess but there are still a few untouched areas out there.

Really appreciate the nod to the old days. I was a Commodore nut and if you missed it then you missed out. Truly halcyon days when computers were not only for the enthusiast but also fun. Aww memories. Nostalgia’s not what it used to be.

Oh. Didn’t know that. Think I’m on M+. Not sure if it’s included with that or not but I’ll check it out. Cheers for the heads up.

Damn! That sounds cool. I’m a Virgin Media customer so I don’t believe we have that yet. Ah well. Looks like it’s back to MTV and rioting for me.
