I have been looking for a tool like this for a while. I even suggested it to FB to create such a feat but it never happened. But now you can see how all your friends interconnect.
You sit at the middle and then the tool uses the Facebook API to poll all your “Friends in Common” and create links between everyone in your friends list. The more common friends the bigger the node for that person.
I am running it through now to see how it goes – will screenshot the result and publish it later

Windows Vista Forces you to use UAC to Add a Printer
Comments off · Posted by digg in Uncategorized
Vista has once again annoyed me. My post on how to turn off UAC is all well and good until you need to add a network printer…
You cannot add a network printer in Windows Vista unless you have UAC turned on, not even with the administrator account. And for more added fun, the error message does not tell you what the problem is, rather it gives you an ambiguous error message. That’s the reason I’m posting this, I was baffled until I found this article.
This evening I decided to update the software that ran my photo gallery and once that had gone through successfully I started to look at the themes available for it.
After trying, and rejecting, the Ocadia theme I looked at one which allowed me to change the colour and style. I liked the layout and feel of Andreas09 but I wanted to have a blue site and so after a bit of hacking about with the theme I have changed from the Water Drop theme to Andreas09 in blue. But I still wasn’t happy – people could change the colour scheme from my beloved Blue2 to some other crazy colour scheme that didn’t look nearly as good. So a small bit of code modification later and I have removed the combo box.
The final result can be seen by clicking on the Gallery link on the home page or by going to http://www.matthewjwhite.co.uk/gallery
Now that I had my gallery looking nice I decided that WordPress was looking rather dull and boring with its standard Kubrick theme and could do with a facelift. A quick stop at the site of the author of the gallery theme (http://andreasviklund.com) and I browsed through to find a similar theme that would fit my WordPress blog. I settled for Andreas 0.8 Version 1.0 which compliments the gallery and is a welcome change from the WP standard theme.
If you are reading this then you are likely to be looking at the theme right now but if you aren’t then by clicking on the Blog link from my home page or going to http://www.matthewjwhite.co.uk/blog/index.php will let you see the theme in all its glory.
I have known for a long time that across the world different words mean different things depending on where you are when you use them – HSBC’s ad campaign has clearly sunk in. This combined with my love for the website urbandictionary.com which which is maintained by the general public to give insight into words and phrases and their alternate meanings.
In some of my spare time I have entered peoples names into the website to see what has come out and I thought I would share these with you.

Arman Zad – A person who likes inserting objects into his anus but also has a small penis
Kate Britton – Someone with an odd masturbation fetish
Mark Cini – A “Bro who likes riding his motor bike”
Nick Jenkin(s) – (I know its without the s but Jenkin isn’t defined this is as close as i could get) – A smelly homosexual geek
Rob “Crom” Cromarty – The Alpha & Omega gang member who takes orders from someone more important than him
Mitch Whitehead – Beating someone over the head with a coconut until it breaks whilst being a man bitch
David Mitchell – A man with an excessive penis
There are more but these are a few that I have collected in recent weeks
Daniel Petri comes up with another great tip and insight into the way Microsoft’s software can be manipulated to do things you want to do. In this case how to trial different versions of Windows Vista. Once the activation deadline is reached you must put your legal key in for the version you installed to continue but… it does let you try the different versions first!
