Eygpt Trip Cancelled - Boo :/

Meh! I’ve been looking forward to a short 2 week holiday with my buddy Tasmin in Eygpt for two weeks! With the recent Dahab bombings, we’ve been advised by our travel agent that British citizens should avoid the area for a while. So with our plans scuppered we’ve got no where to go, and suggestions that we visit Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster didn’t go down too well either. Bummer Sealed

Myspace.com Invades #id

So, my good mates on #id on Quakenet who I have known for like 7 long years have finally lost their nerves…they’ve all (almost) signed upto myspace.com !

For those who don’t know, it’s the worlds largest meeting place where you can put up a profile of yourself, and meet other people. A lot of small upcoming bands tend to use this as a place to promote their music, which does work very well. However it’s also become a place where most users profiles consist of nothing but multiple poor pop videos, massive amounts of animated images, and enough multi-colored text to give even the most robust web browser a headache. It’s also a place where fit girls can flaunt themselves and er yes that bit is rather nice :)

The 360 Hit’s Australia, Coogee Beach

Qj.net have a report up detailing one of the largest water balloon events in Australia. The Water Balloon Challenge was held on Coogee Beach, Sydney and celebrated the launch of the Xbox 360 in Oz! It’s stated that 50,000 water balloons were thrown on that day too! Major Nelson, Director of Xbox Live has updated his Flickr site with photo’s from the event.

KitKat -vs- PimpKat

I’ve been wanting to mention pimpmysnack.com for quite some time now, after hearing about their Easter Giant Creme Egg project which had been produced over the Easter period. Needless to say, that after much laughter from such a brilliant site, I became ill just thinking about how anyone could consume any one of their projects without falling into a sugar induced coma! Jo Whiley on Radio 1 also did a similar project after getting inspiration from them. Keep up the good work PMS chaps!
  
Giant PimpKat

Meh!

Bugger me I’m flippin knackered this week, and there’s one day of work left! 

Will U Marry Me?

Said the person who owns this block of flats on 48th Avenue somewhere in yankie doodle land. Saw this first mentioned on www.digg.com and thought it was a rather nice way of proposing. Just hope the helicopter/small plane ride over the property was worth it and she actually said Yes…

Wohoo, I’m Back!

I’ve been knocked out with the flu for just over a week now and it’s lasted a lot longer then orignally expected, nerf! Feeling way better as of this morning, but still haven’t left the house since I caught it! Woke up today listening to Embrace - Natures Law and feel a million times better for doing so. What really worries me is I’ve lost 5lb’s because of this flu, yep I’ve triple checked too. That can’t be water weight shirley?

Right now I’m just installing EditorMonkey from Raj Prasad, which replaces the built in, but rather flaky WYSIWYG editor that this blog utilises via Wordpress. First impressions are already very good so hopefully this simplifies a lot of my blog writing. It’s also added a nice toolbar to the Post Comment’s feature so people can add MSN smileys and stuff!

Lastly, I shall rejoice along with millions of PC Gamers out there because Ubisoft have finally decided to drop using their copy protection system by the name of Starforce. Namely because they have lawsuits filed against them, due to the protection system actually causing havoc on many Windows based PC’s and rendering them almost useless. Starforce has managed to ruin the twin dvd writers on my PC rig to the point where they refuse to read any dvd, but read cd’s just fine, so cheers Ubi!…dozy pillocks. Thats right chaps, punish those who legitly buy your games why don’t you?

Google Video Addictive Or Wot?

Still got the sniffles and I’m sneezing all over the place at the moment. Since I’m retired to my bed, I’ve got my laptop and my 360 which I can play thanks to it’s wireless controllers so I’m not bored. Anyway, I’ve somehow become addicted to Google Video! I’ve spent hours finding funny vids on this, what a great, well implemented feature!

 

 

I Have The Sniffles… :(

Someone has given me the sniffles from last night and I’ve been sneezing all day today. Blocked nose and all that lark means that I’ve got little choice but to take tomorrow off from work while I try and recover. Man this sucks, I hate it when I catch the cold off someone else! :evil:

Over the next 24hrs much Lemsip and Beecham’s shall be consumed! *sniff*

~Clouded Thoughts~

Why is it that when one is intoxicated, memories and past thoughts come flooding back? I’ve just come back from a friends house where drinks were flowing at a silly rate. Suffice to say I’m totally ratarsed as I type this now but focused enough not to make an arse of myself.

After a turbulent week at work, which saw me mentally drained of strength by the end of it, to the point where I couldn’t find the will to speak let alone anything else, I spent the remainder of the day with a good close friend of mine. Yet after the drinks began flowing, past forgotten memories came rushing back at me which caused me utter confusion - I felt lost, and I’d not felt like that in a very long time.

I had been asked one question at this point while intoxicated…"Would you change your whole life to be with someone who is distracted?", I just cannot for the life of me remember how the hell I replied back…lol :mrgreen: :oops:
