  • pf.ie v0.2

    This update is just to make the site A) Secure and B) Look better in the URL.

    1. I have fixed the issue with the URL coming back as pf.ie:2368 where the 2368 was the port that Ghost use. A simple change in the config.js resolves that.

    2. Let’s Encrypt SSL has been installed. Bit of a tricky one to get this working. I had to change the Proxy port for Nginx from 2368 to 80. Disable Ghost, restart nginx, run Let’s Encrypt to install the cert, change the config back and then start Ghost.

    I might do a proper tutorial for that where time permits. If you would like me to get it done sooner, poke me on Twitter and I’ll do it. Twitter

    No other updates are planned for the site as it is ok the way it is. Might change up the theme or something in the next version but we shall see 🙂

  • My WWE Brand Split Predictions

    Earlier today, WWE released their "Fantasy Draft" for the 2016 WWE Brand Split and because the Sharing Options are not working, here is my person draft.

    The draft will be shown on the first LIVE Smackdown on July 19th.

    RAW is in red and Smackdown is in Blue


  • WWE Money in the Bank PPV Predictions

    Welcome back to my WWE PPV Prediction series where I list the card that is happening for the WWE Money in ther Bank PPV that is happening on Sunday night (19th June).
    And here we go.

    Winners are in bold.

    Kick off show

    The Lucha Dragons vs The Dudley Boyz – Prediction: Dudley Boyz [Don’t know where this match came from, but oh well…]

    The Golden Truth vs Breezango – Prediction: Who the hell cares? 2 Jobber teams for what…nothing.

    Main Show

    Money in the Bank Ladder Match:
    Alberto Del Rio vs Dean Ambrose vs Kevin Owens vs Cesaro vs Sami Zayn vs Chris Jericho for the Money in the Bank Briefcase* – Prediction: Cesaro [It would be nice to see him to get the push that he deserves. He is a very strong character that should be winning belts.]

    • This briefcase allows the winnner of the ladder match to cash in at any time for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
    • An example of this would be at Wrestlemania 31. There was a match on between Brock Lesnar (who was the current champion at the time) and Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins (The holder of the Money in the Bank briefcase) ran down to the ring and "Cashed in" the briefcase. It then became a Triple-Threat match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (Brock vs Roman vs Seth). Seth got the ‘pin’ on Roman to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The champion was never pinned for the title.

    Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin – Prediction: This is what, the 9th, 10th match between these two…. Not saying who

    Apollo Crews vs Sheamus – Prediction: This was billed to be on the pre-show but it looks like they threw shit at a wall (Breezango and TGT) and this is now on the main card. Sheamus to win.

    Charlotte (c) & Dana Brooke vs Becky Lynch & Natalya in a NON-WWE Womens Championship match. – Prediction: Why is Becky not going for this again? What the hell is WWE doing? Becky and Natty to win.

    John Cena vs AJ Styles – Prediction: This would be the "Dream" match that they are talking about. It should be a good fight, but AJ will probably win it.

    The New Day (c) vs Gallows and Anderson vs Enzo and Cass vs The Vaudevillians in a Fatal 4 Way for the WWE Tag Team Championship. – Prediction: It would be nice for The New Day to drop the belts (Either now or at SummerSlam) to Enzo and Cass. They are a very good tag-team that should get their recognition.

    Rusev (c) vs Titus O’Neil for the US Championship – Prediction: Heel vs Face for the belt. Heel (Rusev) will retain.

    Roman Reigns (c) vs Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Prediction: Since Seth never lost the title (He had to vacate it in November after injuring himself in a house show in Dublin), it would only make sense for him to get it back. If he still siding with the "Authority" (Note: which has been disbanded for quite a while) or just Steph/Triple H, then they would ensure that he gets the belt from Roman.

    Although, I think there WILL be a twist. Even though that I have predicted Cesaro for the MITB contract, what I would like to see is this: Dean Ambrose get the MITB contract and cash it in the same night and do the same what Seth did at WM31 (read above) and have a Triple Threat for the WWE World Heavyweight Champions between all 3 "Shield"* Members. If this was the case, Seth would screw over Dean in someway to get the belt. Either way, Seth will probably get the belt back.

    And that is that. A fairly stacked card with a couple of interesting matches in there (John vs AJ, Fatal 4 way for the Tag team belts, MITB of course and the WWEWHC match at the end of the night) which should make for interesting viewing.

  • Trying to code…in some shape or form.

    I have always wanted to do proper coding and learning about API’s, how to parse them properly and that.

    As someone who is very inexperienced in the field, it is difficult to start learning. But the thing is, you HAVE to jump in. The books can only teach so much and that is what I am planning to do with a small project that a couple of friends are currently working on.

    I cannot talk about the specifics but it is something that I will be working on and learning as I go along.

  • A Tale from Tech Support (from Reddit)

    Scrolling through Reddit and certain sub-reddits turn up some gold. Here is one posted by /u/nabbitnabbitnabbit on Reddit.

    Long time listener, first time caller.I have been in this IT Support business for about 20 years. Through this time, I've been privileged to support some very intelligent people and a gaggle of idiots.I'll tell this tale and you can decide where this user fits in.I got a broken laptop into my office, which is no new thing. It won't power on.$User: My laptop suddenly stopped working!$Me: What were you doing when the laptop died?$User: I was working on some research.$Me: Was there a power surge? Did you spill anything in your laptop?$User: No, I didn't do anything.So I got out my trusty screwdriver set and opened this bad boy. Coffee poured out.$Me: Uh, you said you didn't spill anything on your laptop.$User: indignantly Well, I didn't spill anything!$Me: ...but there is coffee pouring out of this laptop.$User: Oh, my wife spilled that. Does it make any difference? I didn't spill the coffee, so the laptop should still work.$Me: Yes. Anything spilled in your laptop can make it stop working, no matter who did it.$User: Oh. Even if I didn't spill it?$Me: Uhhhhhhh.Still, I recovered his data and sent his laptop to the big IEEE electronics recycler in the sky.

    Use yer brain ffs!
