However, I have been using skills gained here to help another purpose.

That is CarSmart. It's a small up and coming business which does directory listings for local Car Business' such as MOT's , Garages, Specialist Car Mechanics and much more. It's aim is to become the ultimate culmination of Local Car Business' !

[RELEASE] Xbox360 JTAG Patch Downloader

2011-08-14T15:06:00.000-07:00

It's here! EARLY!

As promised with the release of my new website I said I would compile a selection of patches for your JTAG's that are on older dashboards!

Now it's here early, because my laptop broke a week a go and I lose files crucial to the site, but I thought I would put the factory into full production for this small and simple program. If you remember I discussed pricing, but for you guys its free, but with a catch. Each download does link to the right patch but you must complete a task, be it a survey or something else. Each download will be WIDELY appreciated, and each doesn't take long to complete.

As of yet there are no updates currently planned, however I do have some plans for some new programs, but next up is the website. An ETA if you are interested is about 1 month.

Now enjoy!

[PRIORITY IMPORTANT] Website Progress, Migration, SC2, Future Releases...

2011-07-23T16:45:00.000-07:00

Ladies and Gentlemen, an Important Announcement

Hello Everyone! To all regulars, locals, searchers, gamers, and randoms.

This will be the most important post on this blog, so if you have ever found what you are looking for here, or want to know the future of this site.. and...well read on and you will find out. It's a long read, but it does open up some new doors...

The History...

It has without doubt been a record long time since there has been any sort of activity over here at...Well what is this site called? Other than 'Jihaut' (which is one of the many alias' I go by on the internet and in games) it is called 'Insert Your Rant Here'. The reason being this was originally a blog about my life (see early posts) and then I converted it into a holy ground of JTAG required files, patches, and various other gaming stuff, including but not limited to, reviews, previews, patched default.xex's and fixes. It then evolved into a place to share my programs, and design ideas for various projects... It then became a hive of activity reaching up to 1500 page views per day and with 'May' this year giving the site over 34,000 hits, and the previous and following months not far off.

However coming up to the end of June were exams, and from June to July my social life took over; pulling me away from a lot of content releases. When I finally did get time, I was given other tasks to busy myself with, and after finishing those I was on holiday in a far away country! Since that time days have passed, and days have turned into weeks. What was once a blog turned into a site, pushing all limits of its blogging capabilities, with little standing in the sites way of progress.

But what at one point seemed like an unstoppable mammoth of content and success plowing through the internet, certain points began to slow down the beast that was this site. AdSense took a beating with the accounts being disabled for apparent misclicks, which were non-existent. Another ad company AdBrite were unable to give the site adverts due to me not paying for it (#1 refer to this later). Software projects I was working on were not able to download updates from this site due to Blogger policy and no facility to upload files (except pictures) and also general tools regarding the design of the site, however small, were limiting.

The Position...

Not long ago (perhaps 2+ months) I announced the project of creating a website which would supersede this and not be piggybacked by Blogger or Google. A site which would still have what you were looking for and more, and look twice as hawt. There was little to be heard after my initial announcement until nearer the current date when I confirmed the site was still in production. For those of you that don't know, a website can be simple and boring, or complex and better. I was going for the latter, and unlike many web developers or hosters, I was going 'all in'. I began work on individual assets of my website from simple bars, to fully fledged backgrounds, and icons. It was a big job, but not out of reach..

Whilst creating the icons and such I went through ideas, and phases of designs. After eventually dedicating all the work to one idea, shortly after code production began the idea seemed flawed and too 'empty'. With anger from wasted resources, and a ton of useless code I halted production (1 month ago).

When I was on vacation my mind cleared up and when I returned, I began working again on a similar idea but hit another wall of failure. Taking a calmer approach, I revamped and redesigned the idea from scratch and began recreating and modifying old assets, as well as taking a new creative approach. Within a few days the site had formed, and I began ironing out bugs.. I would say with ease the sight is now 'fully functional' but its about 30% complete, with the general structure there and currently no problems which haven't been sorted (or more specifically, pushed under the carpet). So production will continue and eventually the site will launch..

Below are some pictures of the general look of the site. Bare in the mind the domain, and name of the site are currently 'the stasis' but are liable to change.

...and the Overview!

As you can see it's still rather bare, with areas waiting to be filled up, but the general infrastructure is there, just waiting to be built upon. I hope you are all as excited for it as I am.

The Future...

Now, the questions fall as to what will be on the site, content wise, and what new will be there, and for that I will now break this part of the post down so it's easy to understand:

RELEASES ?
Now I can tell you that whatever Releases were placed on the blog will be migrated there slowly into what will eventually be an archive, along with a finished re-release of the 'X360 Patch Downloader' with about 50% more patch's linked within, but that is another matter and will be discussed closer the time. After that I am afraid I will no longer be continuing the patch scene, and will no longer support or update any posts with lost files, or new games that need patches. That is a path I left long ago, but the trail; will still be there for you all...

PRO GAMING?
Recently I went back to my old pal, Starcraft 2; a beast of a game, the best RTS I have played and also a game that arguably has one of the biggest E-Sports communities on the net. So I have been playing it alot recently, and have (with some friends) set up a team, that will compete in tournaments and just some good'ol social gaming! So I will be adding a nice chunk to the site for that, for some replays, perhaps our own prize-giving competitions (soon...) and some statistics and rosters... All in good time, friend.

PROGRAMS BRO?
If you have followed this blog since it's inception you will know that I am studying a Computing course at university; I am pleased to say I passed my first year, and will be going into my second in September. Now with such a course comes a plethora of new knowledge; more specifically programming... And if you took the time to download any programs, you will see that I do enjoy making random programs. So there will be a section of the site dedicated to various sources of programs I wish to share, and also a place for you to download my finished applications!

GOT NEWS DAWG?
What's a site without some sort of news, or blog stating the good will of the site, and what's new, up and coming and just damn right exciting? A Rubbish site. SO- There will be a News section, however it will probably be integrated into the home page.

AND MORE!
Of course no one can predict the future, so I am sure there will be more on the site when it does go live, but I can't say anything else now as I can't think of it :)...

The Epilogue...

It is with great pleasure that I complete this post... It has been a pleasure serving you all, and helping many of you out just as you have me. I hope you may still find parts of this site useful, and I ask you not to forget it. It is highly unlikely that there will be any more activity here for some time now, unless there is something urgent to be said; the next activity which I can foresee will be an update on site production or news of it's arrival. Remember if you want to contact me my email is jihaut(AT)Hotmail.co.uk, put the name of the site in the subject and I hope I can help you!

Regards

[IMPORTANT] Regarding releases.

2011-06-25T09:50:00.000-07:00

For the last 2 weeks releases have been slow, and non existent, so it's time to give some news and some release information.

Releases will be slow, and delayed

As of the 1st of July there will be no activity for 2 weeks
I will attempt to push out 3 or so releases today/tomorrow.
2 Projects are draining my time; Website (New ideas, creation of assets), Programming.

Also one of my consoles are broke so can't test releases, or have the motivation to do releases. Furthermore with financial problems I can't even afford to get my console fixed, or buy a new one.

After July 15th for a few days this blog will probably be boosted with new releases (should they be available) and after that until July 28th; things are going to be pretty steady, or inactive. August 2nd; Blog will be back at 100% Functionality.

If you are able to help with donations for console or projects please contact me via my email in the 'Contact' section of the site :)

[PROGRAM] Xbox 360 Default.xex Patch Downloader!

2011-06-20T14:56:00.000-07:00

It's here! The Patch downloader! (in beta anyway)

The newest release, which contains all the new releases! It's simple, you choose your game, and click download; you will then be taken straight to the corresponding download. This is the easy way to navigate to all the patches you need quick and easy, without having to go through the blog.

The real thing will cost £0.99 and will update whenever there are new patches available; eventually, I hope to offer more than these via download, and they will be exclusive; so it's definitely worth the purchase when the program is complete.

It's currently in beta form, so it isn't quite ready to tell you when an update of the program has arrived.. However it does have a selection of links on there, as well as the about section, and an internet connection check. Obviously I don't need to tell you that the internet is essential to the programs functioning.

Anyway, your download is below; please leave feedback and comments on this page, use the 'FEEDBACK' button in the program.

[IMPORTANT] A Message about new releases for the next 6 weeks!

2011-06-17T02:57:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

I am going to cover 2 points in this post; both important, I would appreciate the read...

I have currently left my University accommodation and moved back home! My first year of university is finished, and I am just waiting for my grades! In about 6 weeks after a holiday, and some time looking after this house, I will be moving into a new house there.

But you are wondering what does this have to do with the releases I give? Well it has a lot to do I am afraid; as at my old accommodation I had access to 100MBps Internet, so as you could imagine, downloading things and getting them first was something of habit and nature; however here I only have 10MBps, which should be getting upgraded to 30MBps soon, but probably after I move back.

So long story short, I am afraid the releases will be a bit delayed from now on, but they will still come.

On to the next point, as I mentioned earlier I am at university. I am currently unemployed and have been looking for a job for several months, and unfortunately it just doesn't seem to be happening; the predicament I am in is that all the money I currently earn (which over the lifetime of this site is about $20) is from this website, and It's just not enough; fortunately Blogger is an excellent site and is free to use, but seeing as I devote a large percentage of time to this site I was eventually going to make another site, a crazy looking one, with amazing visuals, and easy to navigate!
But before that can happen I need money; but my main need for money is the accommodation fees. £100 a week. It's quite a bit of cash, and as a student I won't be able to get a permanent job as I still have to study.

So what am I asking? I am asking for you to help me.

How I hear you cry?
Well let me give you some demographics:
This site averages about 1000 views a day, and with releases goes up to 3000 views should the game be popular. This site is useful for many, and has been somewhat of a haven for those looking for what is supplied here.

If everyone that came to this site clicked 2 adverts I would make a good amount of cash, but that doesn't happen. Out of the 80000+ visitors I have had only 1200+ have clicked an advert. I understand that adverts are annoying, and I admit to rarely clicking them.

That is one way you can help me, but unfortunately a single effort from yourself just doesn't cut it.

Another way you can help is through Cashle:

If you click that banner, register, complete the questions, and do some surveys I will get about a $'er.

However again that is very slow, and requires time, and time is not what I have.

The most direct and efficient way for you to help me would be via donation on PayPal:

Any donation is respected!

That's the end of this post, and can I add if you made it this far, congratulations and the Shadow of the Damned game, and the new Transformers releases will be up within a few days.

Good Day to you all!

A request here from a regular member of this community! For all those that like it; enjoy it :), just don't forget to please click some adverts, every now and then; or even donate a bit of cash! Thanks!

Your download is below...

[UPDATE] New releases! Adverts, Fixed files!

2011-06-09T13:53:00.000-07:00

So many new releases, I almost don't know what to do with myself! So exciting :)

NEW RELEASES:
Duke Nukem Forever
Green Lantern Rise of the Manhunter
Alice Madness Returns
Red Faction Armageddon
HUNTED: The Demons Forge

About the posts and all that 'stuff'....

If you scroll down the site now you will notice that on new posts instead of there being a preview of the text in the 'post' there is gibberish code. Ignore that, it's simply the javascript layer behind all the adverts, the one thing which apart from passion ensures I try my best to get new releases up nice and early! It's a shame though as I am just not getting enough activity on these adverts... O well!

...So do you want to help?

In order to help me out, please donate. You may ask why; Let me tell you:

I am a student; currently in URGENT need of a job; studying a Computing degree at university. If you donate, you won't only help me and this blog, you will also finance me into further developing my new site, and help me work towards various new programming projects!

So please, if you feel like the good Samaritan, click below!
