    Although this is a great prezzy and nice bit o'kit, it's going on ebay, its brand new, and they are reaching £150+ which means with the cash i've got now i can buy myself that AMD64 3000+/ATI Radeon X850 256MB :D and still have cash left over :) Wooop!

    Limited Edition Hell Raiser Box Set - All the films and all the extras. For those of you who aren't aware of the films, brutal, classic, gore films...remember Pinhead?

    if that doesn't mean a lot, the chapters of the films are like: Getting Nailed, Give me some Skin, Hooked Victim and Blaze of Gory...haha classic stuff.

    The special edition Phantasm Box set, complete in its own metal ball case with the deadly spikes attached.

    Chocolate..ugh...

    Cash, usual aftershaves etc..no socks. Big fat assed book on MySQL and PHP..should make some light reading.

    Been quite a good haul considering I'm too going to New York next year.

    Eaten enough to want a vomitarium...and then do it all over again. Been nice as I've met up with some relatives I haven't seen in a good year or so.

    books on wireless hacks are white papers on wireless security, if you're lucky there might be about 3 pages of useful information in there that hasnt already been written on the internet and isnt 10 years out of date.

    If your wireless hacks is about wireless hacking, it will be out of date and things will have been patched. Learn about the methodology and signalling theory behind wireless and common protocols and you will learn more than you need to know to access 90% of what you're not intended to.
