F is for Failure (but it's also for Future)

Image
I've just had my exam results back and I got a fail! All my life I've been hitting A's like it was nothing and now I'm failing and getteing B's and C's if I work my ass off! Anyway, it hit me hard. It was almost as if this exam mark was a final call to me that to go on is pointless. I don't want to think like that, and actually I'm not, for the most part I'm a positive person. But the whole of last year I was questioning whether I even want to do chemistry. I can't really see myself in a lab, nor can I see myself solving massively complex mathematical equations in a computer lab. I can't even see myself as a lab technician. So what does that leave? Well I could always be a teacher? Teach Chemistry? Probably not! But then again, I would like to share a width of knowledge, I doubt I have the brain capacity to "specialise" in any particular subject, but so much about the world fascinates me. I'd probably be quite a good science te...
Oh. I'll admit it. I can't keep going on like this. I can't keep adding notpr0n solutions to these pages. I mean I've only got past level twenty (I'm not on 30) but already I'm realising that the descriptions of how to do the levels are often harder than if I just let you guys intuitively do the levels. Plus, I don't want people stumbling on this pages and getting spoilers when they don't want them. It's happened to me before and it's fucking annoying. So I'm going to stop writing about notpr0n on here, unless I've just done a mammoth level that i'm really happy about doing :) Anyway keep it real. I've got an early morning tomorrow. I'm going back down to my uni in London (long drive), and I've been suffering from insomnia recently, so I'm going to try to get to sleep!

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/windows/something.php Source code offers no help, but the name "Numbers, Fonts and stuff..." indicates fonts are involved. 1. The windows symbol is the link. A click on it says ignore lead/pb. What could that mean? 2. Where have you seen those symbols before? 3. It should be easy once you recognize where they are from. 1. Symbols are the windings font in windows word. 2. Ignore lead/pb (Chemical symbol for lead=Pb) means ignore pencil lines. 3. Decode the windings font, gives you REALLY UNFAIR 4. User name and password them :)

"He moved it into the right direction" 1. What way is the hand pointing? 2. Is there anything written in the source code that might help? 3. What do the page name and picture have in common? 4. Use what you know! 1. "He moved it in the right direction". Could this refer to the letters. 2. Since all letters have shifted one place to the right, shift them back one place to the left to make sense of the jumbled letters in the source code. 3. xfjse tuvgg becomes WEIRD STUFF 4. And there's your username and password :)

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/finale/lamp.htm Source code asks why is the letter after 18 an "a"? Why not a "b"? or nothing at all? 1. Try out different letters after 18. 2. A different background music is being played. 3. What is being played? 4. One single letter won't give you the answer. 1. Listen to the song. 2. What notes are being played. 3. D. E. A. F. 4. No where for a user name or pasword, so simply change lamp for"/deaf.htm" :)

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/finale/pron.htm "aliens are coming" Source code says "what am i?" After the image file. 1. What are you looking at? 2. It's clear there is no link, so you don't need to look for a user name and password. 3. You ned to change the URL. 4. Keep guessing what you are looking at. 1. I tried "/ufo.htm" and got wrong way. 2. Then I tried "/egg.htm" and got another wrong way. 3. One of the "Wrong Way" clues says you have seen this before. 4. I guessed "/lamp.htm" which was RIGHT! :)

http://www.deathball.net/notpron/zoo/mznvh.htm This is the image you are presented with. It's clear upon first inspection that each of the squares corresponds to each of the previous 15 levels. 1. The source code says "invert a-z" 2.Could this have something to do with the URL? 3. What do the numbers in the pictures mean? 4. What does # mean? 5. Apply what you've been told to the levels referred to. 1. Inverting the letters in the URL gives. "all/names.htm" 2. You know it has to do with the usernames of the levels concerned. 3. The # indicates that the name is inverted (the clue is in the source code) 4. The numbers in the boxes must refer to the letter number of the user name for that level. 5. When there is a # after the number that means, invert the letter. 6. Combining all the letters from the usernames you get the following DOOM MURDER And there's the Username and Password :)

This is notpr0n...

OK! I've had a new idea for this blog. I'm supposed to be revising! HAH! So obviously I've started playing notpr0n again! It's a massive online click and play webriddle! And it's nigh on impossible (for me anyway) without help. So I've decided to go through each level I've down and write hints and teasers for each level, then in a black font I'll write the solution to each level. This was, those who don't want to see the answer don't have to. And those that do want to see the answer simple have to -A to select all writing on the page and view the solution. 1 last thing, I can't be bothered doing all the levels, so I'll start from where I left off before I started revising (in my opinion this is wher eit starts getting hard. LEVEL 16 FOLLOWS!

Two words: SOLO ACOUSTIC. Dashboard Confessional (or Rather just Chris Carraba) blew away fans at the King's College London Union with a solo acoustic show. I was left stunned by how Chris can hold notes for so long and with the emotion he puts into his songs. He genuinely looked so happy to be there and there were several moving moments where Chris looked on the verge of tears as the crowd drowned out his own singing with the lyrics he wrote. The last song, Hands Down will live on for everyone there, it was so powerful at the end and there was not a single person not singing along. Great gig! Absolutely incredible, to the point that these words in no way represent the greatness of it. I wish I had a way with words that rivals the hypothetical child of Chaucer and Shakespeare, but unfortunately I am only "good" with numbers and even those can't be used to describe the gig. I guess this is why I'm not taking this seriously enough, because I know I can't convey ...

Random Access Memory

I want to write about the best day of my life. It was such a long time ago now that I can remember only little bits, Snippets of memory shining through the past. I was with my first girlfriend. We met in Manchester for the usual shop around HMV and Selfridges for Oreos and Reeses. It was my friend's birthday party at a restaurant in a village outside of Manchester, to the south; and as such we also scoured the shops for a birthday card of suitable humour and coming-of-age greatness. I felt particularly old when signing the card from both my girlfriend, B, and myself. It was like the cards those couples always gave us as kids, signed both boy and girl, like we were a singular entity whose presence was requested. So anyway getting ready was ace, I really like the stage in any relationship where both the boy and girl are so comfortable being naked in front of one another that they just get changed in front of each other and joke about what to wear. By the time we were both ready ...
"They're one of those bands that really annoy you. Random loud noises, screaming, nonsensical lyrics about dug use. I mean how old do they think they are? What is this song? I can't hear anything for the overdriving bass. Grimy lyrics. I've always hated Hadouken. There's such a HYPE surrounding them, they're not musical. They're just noise for young kiddies." That was how I felt until lastnight. I realised the sheer power of H! at one of my friends parties. It was an awkward party to begin with, quite empty really, and it was a glitter theme, although it may as well have been a trans-genderism theme. The "costumes" mainly consisted of tight, glittery tights and hot pants (that's BOYS and girls!), I myslef was wearing a rather beautiful glitter eye liner and greeny blue eye shadow. Anyway one of my other mates was there and he's a massive fan of Hadouken. Friends with them an everything. Anyway I wasn't even going to drink , but we...
Virgin Railways insist they didn’t cock up! It wasn’t their fault, it was the engineering company Network Rail hired to repair/rebuild the line over New Year. Well whatever, I don’t care if it was anyone’s fault, my journey suffered! A whole 40 minutes of “extra time” were taken away from my life, and I want them back (“Oh what the hell, I’d probably just waste them anyway…”). To be honest, I don’t care who’s fault it was mainly because I’m not the type of person to get angry about something that is beyond both mine and everyone else’s control. To be truly honest, I secretly enjoyed the journey on a different line into London, it took a bit longer and gave me longer to revise for the next day’s exams! Anyway Virgin Rail kindly sent me a letter saying, to coin the phrase, “This one’s on us”. I read further and discovered “this one” was actually a free First Class rail ticket! SWEET! I’d never ridden First Class before but I’d heard it was goooooood! Well my f...

Hello internet! I had a ball yesterday night. No really, I had a ball. I went to a ball anyway. It cost me thirty pounds! Thirty pounds for a trip to Cafe de Paris (near Leicester Square), a meal (three courses) with wine all topped off with music and drunken escapades later on. Well OK. The meal was very nice. I had some nice chicken and a cool strawberry soufle, and yes...the wine was strong and copious, but I didn't have a good time afterwards. I don't like the feeling of abandonment, and I feel my friend kind of did that. He's been seeing this girl for quite a while now, and he just sort of left with her. Thing is, I wouldn't mind if I liked her, but she's so unreachable. I have never really spoken to her, only the typical bland responses spoken more out of embarasment of silence than out of genuine like of a person. Anyway, he left with her (obviously that's fair enough) but I think the main thing is I get jealous easily. I'm not even gay, but I like ...
Started a new blog today! This is the first post. I like the idea that I can remain anonymous to but a few of my friends with whom I decide to share this. I have kept a journal for a few years now, and I finally succumbed to the temptation of posting online. At least then people can read and offer real advice. Or just generally have a go at me for being so god damn lame in my life. I also think the idea of uploading pictures onto this blog means I can share my passion for photography (don't get the worng idea by that comment, I have NEVER had photography lessons or even really know how to take a good photograph, nor do I have a nice camera, but I can still enjoy it right?) So I'm waiting for one of my most favorite films to download, listening to Alexisonfire and writing this. I'm not sure what to write. Who do I want to impress? I feel scared that people will critically read this. Do I even want anyone to read this? Well, I mean, I wrote it on THE INTERNET! so I guess peop...
