I’m afraid you can expect another bout of fux0redness as I upgrade this joint to it’s latest incarnation. Problems may start from next week onwards. I wont be posting as much until it is complete but it should only take a couple of days to install so don’t worry!
Where were you in the long dark days before I met my better (mostly) half? : - ]
This is hilarious… I wish I had enough spare time and intestinal parasites to even contemplate doing something like this… 
Engrish.com!!
In a world of uncertainty it is a rock of comedy content. Or something…
Apparently in Japan it is considered cooler to use English instead of Japanese on products and signs but as you can see sometimes the message can get er, lost in translation?…
Now with new sections and more content!
THERE WILL BE NO UPDATES TODAY COS I CANT BE STUFFED.
THERE WILL BE SOME TOMORROW THOUGH.
UNLESS I CANT BE STUFFED AGAIN.
THEN THERE WONT BE.
BYE.
PS I HATE DELPHI.

Hello!
Nothing much to write about today, or rather a lot to write about but no time to really write it up properly so it’ll have to wait until another day.
Unfortunately it seems that the nice weather we have been having has now left and a thunderstorm is here in its place. It’s not worth leaving the house without a jacket in this country I swear!

Mine for “ashmodeus” was “I’m going to fuck you until your mom feels it in her womb!” which is a bit strange and worrying actually….
But the generator is case sensitive so when I put in ‘Ashmodeus’ it came out with “I’m going to spank you in such an unsafe manner, your reincarnation will be a scientific anomaly!”…
Which I’m sure you will all agree is a lot funnier
Ooooooooooh, v3 is now officially underway, with a techno summery colour scheme to reflect the changing seasons and my pathological obsession with shiny objects… Or something. Version 2 is still not even complete technically but I am starting to dislike the current colour scheme more and more by the day so to stop me being annoyed I have started on the much cooler v3 design.
Expect it to be online before winter sometime!…. Hopefully.
Wow it seems the Developer Edition of Movable Type (the weblog software I use for this site) 3.0 is now available. I think I may have to have a little look into upgrading to it on Monday if its worth it. I’m not sure whether it is yet because I am having a hard time finding some concrete info on its advantages over MT 2.6.
The only thing I know for sure is that the new version contains comment registration support as well as some other developer related upgrades which i’m sure are great but aren’t exactly what I am looking for. Also there are some quite strict limitations on the licence for MT 3.0 as Six Apart try desperately to turn their bedroom hobby into a profitable business.
If the features are right then I don’t mind paying for it though (geez, its been so long since I have done that though it sort of feels unnatural. What? I have to pay for software?? Shit I should know better, I write the damn stuff!) but so far its not lookin good! Its another software project where much is promised but then when the stuff finally appears 3 months after its planned release date it turns out to be just average, Accelerator Duke Nukem Forever anyone? (Ok so it still hasn’t appeared so its not really a good example. Hehe don’t kill me Al, it’s just a joke :).
I have a feeling I will be developing my own PHP custom solution as soon as I get some computer time anyway. Who needs other peoples software anyway when you can roll your own, yahoooo! (I shouldn’t be this excited… it’s the sunshine affecting my brain)
Um yeah so if this site is down over the next few days/weeks its because my upgrade to 3.0 went horribly wrong and I am in the corner of a pub somewhere drowning my sorrows and trying to forget that I forgot to make a backup.
Or it could just be that NTL are down again, they have been pretty good for the last couple of months so they have probably scheduled a week or two of downtime to make up for it!
This is actually a bit old but I found it again the other day and it is cool so I thought I’d post it again.
Have you ever started saying a funny word or phrase as part of an in-joke or something only to find out that suddenly you couldn’t stop?
I have. As many of my friends know I have a habit of saying ‘dude’ or ‘man’ after every sentence. This is nearly totally involuntary and believe me I have tried to cut down on it. Contrary to what my mouth would lead you to believe I am not a Californian surfer bum and I wasn’t at Woodstock. I’m pretty sure it all started after one to many late night viewings of The Big Lebowski actually. It was funny to call each other ‘dude’ and ‘man’ like The Dude did throughout the movie and the terms stuck. Which is fine when you are at Uni and you still have a lot of surfer friends but on the odd occasion I think it would be nice to be able to talk to peoples parents and not refer to their mum or dad as ‘dude’. Since I have been in London it has reached the point where it is nearly impossible to emit a sentence without following up with one term of the other……………………………………………………………
MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!
You see what I mean??!
Well the main point of this post is that unfortunately another phrase has recently entered my lexicon and that is…..
‘fo’ shizzle ma’ nizzle!’
Now I thought that ‘dude’ and ‘man’ were bad but this has opened a whole new worm canning factory right next door to my house. I get free cans of worms from the factory. They come with an easy open tab. It’s bad!
The problem with ‘fo’ shizzle ma’ nizzle’ (which incidentally means ‘for sure my nigga’. It’s rap related and was originally made up by Snoop Dogg while he was probably maxin on some crack or somethin so don’t freak out. Listen to ‘E to tha izzo, G to tha izzay’ or whatever that song is called for some cool izzo nizzo lyrics.) is that you can easily turn any normal phrase, like ‘that thing is really great’ into a shizzolated phrase real izzy, er i mean easy.
For instance the shizzolated version of the ‘that thing is really great’ becomes ‘that shizzo is damn grizzay’ which I think you will all agree is funny. Or maybe its just me.
Anyway, so now myself and certain coworkers refer to each other as ‘nizzos’, everything is ‘just grizzay’ and when something is really good its ‘da biznatchmium’ which doesn’t even make sense!
Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to shizzle with ma bizzle on a izzle fizzo……… Dude.
Shizzolate your site or somethin’
Well as you may have noticed I have updated the site again slightly. I don’t really like the gradient colours as they stand but I think with better colour and nicer integration it could really work.
The site should work better in Firefox etc now as well. Sorry to all of you guys who use browsers other than IE, I hadn’t checked it for a while.
Tomorrow I am thinking of trying to implement a different colour scheme overall. I’m not sure though because I do like the dark colours I’m using at the moment, i just think they are a bit limiting so we’ll have to see how that turns out. I have some cool designs in mind, i just need time to implement them!!
Also I have started using Zempt for my posting so you will find a currently listening line at the bottom of most of my posts from now on. Groovy!
Well another day, another couple of millimetres added to The Afro…
It’s pretty long now (Well compared to when I was bald at least) and it now getting hard to remember what it was like to be bald, my poor scalp naked sky and at the mercy of Britain’s cruel elements.
On positive aspect of shaving my hair off that you guys had probably not realised, is that my head is now visible in the infra-red spectrum. What I mean by that is that I no longer suffer from the condition that I have termed ‘Stealth Hair’.
‘Stealth Hair’ seems to only afflict people with big hair and the main symptom seems to be that whenever infra-red (And possibly other) beams are fired into the hair, the beams are absorbed or diffused into apparently nothing.
What does this have to do with the price of milk in China you say? Well I would like to see you try to walk through a supermarket automatic door when all you seem like to the door sensor is a slight fuzz of heat, a ghost in a world of er, non ghosts (Wheres that thesaurus gone?)
In the past I would go shopping and like everyone else I would walk up to automatic doors expecting to be let in, but unlike everyone else fifty percent of the time I would be left with my nose against the glass with both my face and my pride damaged. This led to me acquiring another condition this time termed ‘possible injury induced hesitation syndrome’ whereby I would hop around madly or hesitate with my hand out in front of doors to ensure they would open for me
So there you have it, a bonus feature of an already good thing. No hair = no hesitation.
I better make the most of it though. If Stealth Hair is caused, as I suspect it is, by the unique fractal diffraction properties of a whole lot of curly hair then things are gonna get steadily worse as The Afro grows in stature!
Hot shoe Door Opening Shuffle here we come!
Haha, this is hilarious
The site is being revamped to its gonna be a bit weird for a bit.
We’re back!
Rox and I have been in Lisbon for the past three days, hanging out with the locals and generally drinking a lot We had had Nandos for lunch the week before in London so we decided why not go to the source and get the real deal?
Anyway, the trip contained a couple of suprises including some crazy weather and an attack of the dreaded stomache bug but I will tell you all about that shortly. Overall it was really good!
Lisbon is a beautiful city and the people there are really friendly so I would recommend going there and chilling out if you ever have some spare time (and happen to be living over here so it doesn’t cost a bazillion pounds!).
The photos from the trip will hopefully be up by 2pm my time (+0 GMT) so check back then… failing that, tomorrow!
Hehe, thanks to Sinan for sending me this one…
