I just want everyone to know that I’m not dead, I’m here but very busy. I recently scored a new job working at Shasta QA as a software tester for some very important companies. I’m also in the process of creating a small PHP script for a “game” where SysSU visitors get a chance to win some cool prizes. I have also been doing a lot of backend, under the hood changes such as switching to a new commenting system and some minor CSS tweaks to help improve the overall performance and appearance here at SysSU. All this stuff is also being piled on with the holidays that eat up a lto of my free time. That is why you are not seeing a lot of new content. I’M STILL ALIVE!

Yes, that is right, I have 5 more invites for Spotify to give out. This time I’m going to make it a little bit harder to get a free invite. First 5 people to respond with the answer to the question asked in the full version of this article gets a invite.

The Question: How long was i in the Military and when did I get out?  What are three ways you can contact me?

CLUE: The answer is somewhere on the site

Hurry up and head on over to Engadget for the chance to win some really cool prizes in their “Back To School Sweepstakes“.  Some of the items they are giving away includes, laptops, phones, tablets, subscriptions to services like Spotify, and much much more. It is also really easy to enter you just basically have to be a US resident and be able to comment on the post, so what are you waiting for?

Yep that is right. I have three more Spotify invites for you all to grab. This time if you want them please comment in this post with your name and email address. First three comments asking for an invite gets it.

So you may or may not know but Spotify, probably the most innovative music service provider is now available in the United States. Spotify works very different that what you  might be familiar with. If you live in the United States you might currently use Pandora or iTunes. Spotify is unlike Pandora where you can’t choose the exact song you want to play and unlike iTunes where you have to pay for each individual song. Spotify works off of a subscription service where you pay a monthly service fee to gain unlimited access to any song in their database at any time and the best part is it’s ad free. Right now you can only get the paid versions or get the free version off of an invite. The paid version starts at $4.99 an goes up to $9.99.

Oh yea did I mention I have invites to use Spotify for free? To get one email me at sel@syssu.com. Hurry up as I only have four left!

UPDATE: I’m out of invites sorry! Congratulations and Enjoy to Alex, Vicki, John, and Hayes. Apparently there is a way to get an account without an invite. Read the “Full Article” to find out more!

Lifehacker has posted an article on how to get an account without an invite. This requiers a bit of work but might be worth it to some of you. Apperently if you follow the steps below you should be able to get the account.

• You need to start with a UK account. To do that, you’ll need to be in the UK—or, at least, appear to be. To do that, visit DaveProxy (or another free, UK-based proxy service) and go to spotify.com. (Note: if you’re using DaveProxy, be prepared to contend with a lot of pop-up ads. Just close them as they come up. They’re harmless.)
• Sign up for an account on the UK site. You’ll need a UK zip code, but just search for McDonald’s in London and you’ll find one without issue.
• Once you have an account, sign out and go to spotify.com like you normally would in the US. You won’t see a place to log in because that’s hidden behind the signup page. Pretend you’re signing up for a premium account and you’ll see a message asking you already have an account and want to log in. You do, so click the associated link and log in.
• Go back to spotify.com and you’ll now see a black box up at the top of the site. It’ll read “continue to spotify.com.” Click on it.
• You’re in, but your account is still UK-based. You’ll see your username displayed up on the top right. Click it and choose “Edit Profile.”
• In the “Country” menu, change “United Kingdom” to “United States” and set your zip code to whatever it actually is. Save your profile when you’re done.
• Download the Spotify app and log in.

So a “reveal” trailer has been released for MW3 (watch it below). It looks pretty sweet but I can’t wait to see some game play, even more some ONLINE game play. If you haven’t preordered it don’t worry about it just go to your local Walmart as they will have more than enough copies, I realized this with Black Ops and when there was a line around GameStop but Walmart had boxes and shelves full ready to go. But the real question is, what do you want to see or not see in this game release compared to the past ones?

A group of hackers or in my mind internet terrorist have decided to attack Sony and its network because of Sony’s lawsuit against a group of people who have illegally  hacked the PS3 to make it possible to play illegal copies of games. So yea if you can’t sign onto the PlayStation Network it is because Sony is doing “sporadic maintenance” .

Yea you heard it right, SysSU forums are here. This will be a community for support for any kind of scripts/software that is released by SysSU and a community for members to talk. Nothing fancy but here is the link: http://syssu.com/forums

I just noticed that Apple has cut the price of the old iPhone 3Gs to only $49 dollars with a new two year commitment to AT&T. This makes me wonder if AT&T is trying to get some quick customers before the Verizon iPhone comes out of if Apple is trying to make way for a new iPhone release hmm.

I have decided to open a Beta run of the CD Key Database PHP script I have been working on. This is only a beta release but still is fully functional and in working order. The reason I am releasing it in Beta is so someone can give it a test run and report any problems they run into. Please report any problems to support@syssu.com until I get some kind of support forum open. ENJOY!
