Now – I’m in a good mood.

31 May

OK – I find out today, that one of my favourite bands called 3 doors down are playing in the UK next wednesday…

Then.. thinking the tickets would all be gone – i get tw without a problem…

Great news.. i thought.. then, i had an idea.

I phoned up there Manager.. i said i was with a music company (not gonna say the name, as i still gotta register the website) and asked if i could get an inverview, after a little bit of persuation… backstage photo passses, and a 15 minute interview has been arranged..

Now – Im in a GREAT mood – nothing can bring me down

That blag, deserves a medal.

First Palace…

31 May

Now One.Tel….

I find that they have now gone into administration.

This is gonna be a stressfull few weeks.

Rant time

29 May

OK… Virgin trains – wtf is that all about?

Why, oh Why, is it, that nearly EVERY SINGLE TIME i get on a virgin train – it gets delayed?

Is it just me? I think not.

So – instead of just ranting about it, i decided that it is time i made a new website – and Virgin People’s front was the first thought of a name for it – but, i thought it might get some undesirable people, so the “Rail User Group” is the chosen one, basically people who are unhappy about the service that is formally known as British Rail is now becoming – this website will be for you!

More details when i have them.

Apart from that – great weekend, went to a Fair with quite a big rollorcoaster… was ok, but not the best one i’ve been on.. and had a chill out kinda weekend, its great though, i dont even need to do anything, and i have a great time, that’s one of the things i love about my relationship with Linzi.. im happy to just snuggle up on the sofa watching a vid, isnt that what love’s about?

Anyhow, work becons tomorow (now today) so sleep is rather needed.. one last note is that I finished The Hobbit – and have now made a start to Lord of the Rings.

Why I Hate Webdesign

23 May

Why do I hate webdesign?

Because no matter what you do, it’s never good enough for yourself, that’s why.

I’ve now decided that the new look of this site is actually not good at all, far from it, it is ****!

So, within the next few weeks i’ll be doing a massive re-vamp of the page, a full change, I’ll add on some forums, and also come kind of hit counter, as i have no idea how many people are viewing this page, if any.

Anyhow, apart from that subject I today stumbled accross a website which made me think about where we actually come from. The news report suggests that humans might of actually been planted on this plannet via some kind of E.T, i’m not so sure, I know that I dont believe in god, but something must of made us… maybe we are all some kind of big experiment, a game, who knows, probally, none of us ever will.

Getting peed off.

20 May

My PC is now offically annoying me, and i mean REALLY annoying me, this is now the 4th time I am writing this, and lets hope that this time it doesnt lock up.

The reason I have not updated the blog over the past week and few days is simple, i have not been on the PC to do so, apart from about 20 minutes, where I had some work to get done quickly.

What have I been doing? Well, as I wrote earlier on, Lindsey was down at mine for the week, we did some flat hunting, we went out, and, we had a great time.

Conga 3 was fun, I got quite drunk, and for the fancy dress (which I wasn’t going to enter) I ended up going as a goth Chick – i dont think the dress suited me, but some people didn’t seem to recognise me!

Went to see Notre-Dame de Paris, a new musical in London, it wes really, really, good, totally recommend it, some of the dancing was off this planet, im sure of it.

Finished another James Patterson novel called When The Wind Blows, allthough it is not his normal style (Serial Killer books) it was a brillaint non-stop thrilling read, and one that i recommend to everyone. I’ve now moved onto The Hobbit, which im hoping, will be as good as reviews say for it.

I’ve also bought the Sony J5, which should be delivered to my house tomorow evening, looks like a nice phone, and it will be nice for free WAP and TXT messages from those lovely folks at Genie

I’m looking at possible ways for this site to be personalised, im not sure how im going to do it yet.. but, should be all fun and games.

and with that, a lasy appology for the lack of blogging over the past week, and a promiss that i will try and make sure it doesnt happen again…

Sorry!

15 May

I know i aint updated this page in a few days, i promiss I will do it in the morning if it will stop certain people bugging me!

Few more changes

10 May

Well, thanks to the people at moreover.com I have now got myself a lovely Software News feed… at least that will give you something to play about with while i’m away for a few days. I’ll still be writing my blog (using my PDA) however i wont be able to upload it.

Come back in a few days, and I promiss to write you loads about the meet, how many people were there, and how many records we broke (which ou will notice the irony of when i get back)

I’ve gotta pack, so, goodbye, for now!

Clickity Click Click

9 May

Time to phone up the bank and see if i can extent my overdraft a bit.. fingers crossed.

I’ve just put the webcam on the page… click here to see what’s going on in my room at the moment! Eventually i’ll get one for work aswell… have a HomeCam and WorkCam for the page.. why anyone would want to look at my ugly mug, im not quite sure..

Just off the phone.. and the overdraft went though… I love Barclays at times, always there to help me out, and will probally sting me for getting so much in the red though!

Has anyone ever read BOFH before? If you havn’t, be sure to check it out. The book is also now out, I really need some money! Infact, I think todays task will be sorting out my wishlist @ Amazon.

“my name is Cliff Yablonski. I have never met you before, but I hate you regardless” – sounds like a nice guy eh? If you have a good sense of humor, then check out Cliff’s site, however, its not for the faint hearted!

I think i’ve found the complete irony of website design, when looking round the net… and seeing people with sites that are worse than even THIS one.. i get annoyed, if its just a family site, then fair enough, but when its a company, and when they are even selling things over the internet? I wonder if they actually LIKE what there site looks like, because im sure most other visitors like me think that they look god damn awful, and wouldn’t buy anything from there. Anyhow, rant over there, but this site is a nice piss take of exactly what im talking about!

If you have a bit of time on your hands then check out the reflex tester… try and beat my score of 0.02 seconds!

TIme to get back to “work”… I wish it would hurry up and get to 5pm so i can go home!

Webcams, Pics, and all things nice (or not)

8 May

Well, for £10 i’ve got a lovely webcam, its not the best one in the world, but it does what i want it to.. and with a little tweaking, may get better.

I’ve got a pic of me in the top left corner now, and will put up the wabcam link tomorow.. so anyone can see my house when im not there… or when i am there… ;-)

Because of my DSL link, should be online virtually 24×7.

Almost holiday time, not long now.. i just need to figure what to wear to Fancy dress….

No Links today im afriad, i’ve had alot on, it isnt just because i cant be bothered.. but i’ll post a few good ones tomorow that im no dought gonna find.

That’s about it…

Sorry!

7 May

Sorry to anyone who bothered reading this over the weekend for that fact that I didn’t post Saturday or Sunday.

What a great bank holiday weekend, Linzi was down for the weekend, and it was another fab weekend spent together.

Saw “Along came a Spider” at the Cinema – very good film.. another Alex Cross novel by James Patterson that has been put onto the Big Screen…

My dad’s Birthday was on SUnday.. so we had a family meal..

That’s about it.

Chilled alot..

And Palace won, and stayed up
