Freakcity

Fucking busy day yesterday. Code merge starting at 11am this morning made me a bit late leaving last night (7pm!) – Still, the UI is looking kinda presentable now – good thing...

Got to Dan’s in time for him to be halfway through a 4 hour conversation with his girlie. Demanding to know if she lov...

I have come to the conclusion I am not happy with any of my current choices in life. I need some stability in my life, I need to feel right again.

I need to make some hard choices. I also need to get away a bit I think. Am considering France to visit James next month.

I think I may stop drinki...

I just got a mobile bill for £450!

Right. Listen carefully, I shall say this only once...

I bought, two weeks ago, a 3G GPRS Datacard thing. Subscribed to the Orange Mobile Office 400 Service Plan on my existing account and hey presto, I figure I have 400mb to fritter away.

My billin...

I appear to be in an odd mood. Again I have this feeling I should run off and do stuff. Again I suspect that by tonight I will be far too knackered and all I will want is a nice pint and some fags. I need to do some work on freakcity, but finding motivation will be hard...most of the time at the mom...

In good news, I won a libretto high performance battery

In bad news I lost a 32mb ram upgrade by 2p

eBay is full of ups and downs. Maybe it’s a metaphor for life...

Mr Battery Man posted it a couple of days ago so should arrive today. He also has a Wifi card for a tenner, so I might get tha...

Work was terribly dull. Terribly. But what’s new. Got to interview some bloke. Seemed OK, but based in Essex. For fun 😉 He had the world’s smallest CV – and the interview ended with me an Rach giving him CV tips...was most amusing...

Finished almost on time and got home feeling wiped out. Was go...

Fairly productive day yesterday – plenty of work done, not too many frustrations, the UI for the main flow at least looks pretty damn fine, tho I looked at Modify/Cancel this morning and nearly exploded. Oh well, that can be fixed as a bug in UAT 😉

Still...didn’t get out of work until 6:30...wen...

In dreaming we are complete

Yet dreams bring me pain

Shards of light through the dark

That illuminate the past

It feels so real it hurts

And I can think of nothing more

But you, your face, your words

Even though they aren’t real

Emptiness fills my heart

Where once you used to live

My pai...

Went out Friday night for a couple of pints, as no-one could manage Bremner, Bird and Fortune...drinks with work people, new barmaid at the Cornwall who couldn’t pull a pint to save her mother. Sprayed the people waiting at the bar with London Pride, bless.

Fucked off to Retro for a bit, avoid...

Am sat here bored on the District Line, which appears to have stopped. No idea why. Grr.

My dreams of being on time have been shattered by LUL

Did my first webmastery bits for the icon website last night. João sucks at HTML *giggle*. Now my name is up there as webmaster...

He left me...

I may sound like it, but officially I have decided I no longer feel like death. And I didn’t wake up feeling knackered either, which can only be a good thing.

Dan bought a new webcam yesterday and so waved at me from the airport. Said he kept getting funny looks...

Halo 2 has been hax0red and ...

Server was down all day yesterday – seems iptables broke a bit so it was dropping everything ever. Damn secure firewall 😉

Spent half hour on the phone at lunch talking Adam through various ways to poke it but was ultimately foiled by his inability to type letters as I spoke them on the phone...

...

My firewall appears to have broken. D’oh. As a result I seem to have acquired a new friend from skynet. Grr. Forward chains were working, so I didn’t notice, but drop had broken.

Work was kinda ok...obligatory copy keys amusement...but lots done. Still didn’t finish until 6:30 though. Meant to go...

Fucking hell the weather is shite at the moment...

Do I take holiday this year or carry 5 days over?

Decisions, decisions...

João wants to be taught how to run the band website – he’s figured out how to do text changes (it’s hardly rocket science, no need for Dr Bob ;)) and I’m sure ...

Oh the comedy.

“The software yiu are about to install does not contain a Microsoft digital signature. Therefore, there is no guarantee that this software works correctly with windows.

fewls 😉

This weekend I did three things...

1) Went to the City of Quebec with Dan

2) Got him a 3g datacard on my Orange account as he can afford it and it’ll almost give him broadband

3) Had a birthday party

And I’m now listening to Morrissey’s amusingly titled “All the Lazy Dykes”

The Quebec is fu...

Urg. Urg urg urg!

Still feel crap. FFS, it’s been nearly a fucking month now. Grr.

Hopefully getting out of work early on account of feeling pants. We’re all moving desks today, which is nice. Half the team are off, so we have to move them too. Joy!

shall spend the weekend chilling out. P...

Looong day at work. So much to do before 5pm tomorrow. Project managers getting in a flap. Fun Fun Fun!

Chris is leaving work to go travelling the world. Lucky sod! So now Rach has to find a night that we can all manage to say byebye. The search continues...

Left work roughly on time and got a...

Am using my Palm NAKED as I keep forgetting to put a new plastic thing on the screen. The Palm is naked, not me, that is.

Long day at work on Monday, not helped by feeling crap and being knackered after Sunday. Daniel, the guy I did pics of on Sunday, had told me he’d meet me @ Waterloo after dro...

Dan’s got a date with a girl today. She’s bringing a friend. *comedy*. He flaps so much. Right now he’s either still stuck in traffic and aiming to get there for an hour ago or he’s having group sex in a station toilet. I can never tell...

He’s gonna try an get rid of them by 6ish then find me an...

So I’ve not written in a week because I’m rubbish and only ever write this when I’m commuting. Bah. So sue me!

I’ve mostly been feeling crap for a week – which is a pisser, as I’ve been off work on holiday all week and felt about as lively as a wet fish. Am on time this morning – cool – though it...

ChavFormers I think I’m coming down with a cold just in time for my birthday. Poo!

I shall officially sulk now!

Out Weds for Karaoke. Drank too much. Oops. Sang Morrissey badly coz I was wankereded

...

After all, we’re just animals looking for something, right?

But how do we know we’ve found it?

Is it inherrent to people that they don’t stay still?

And what of attachment? Are the poets wrong? Is there no such thing as “the one”, merely “the one right now”? Has anyone ever met anyone who has bee...

look wot I won! Got my bits working at work yesterday. And got some work done too. Yay me 😊

Won a Libretto on ebay auction too. Am all excited about that 😁

Bought Star Wars DVDs as well. Watched Episode I...

Met up with smess after a really irritating day at work. Was really irritating because blokey who was meant to be sending me config files for the new project didn’t and wasn’t in the office – and I was told by someone else that we had CVS again and had done for a few days...and no-one had told me. G...
