I've moved to Posterous....will be deleting tumblr and moving references and things over here...WATCH OUT! :o
Right, so you may have noticed…I’ve updated my blog, quite alot…I’m thinking of forgetting about tumblr…its nice and all, and its customizations are pretty good, buuuut not good enough. …meh scrap that, its good enough. laziness heheh edit: hmmm, maybe I will…tumblrs templating is bahhhhhh. would rather grab the rss feed and re-output it myself.
So yeah, I hacked my way back in to my tumblr account. Blame my previous fail on gmails over-zealous spam filtering…wierd that it started doing that, meh.
Finished the first of this years exams today; went well enough, considering how little I tried :D. Also have been thinking of a couple of ideas, hope to spew them out soon, if I remember.
Its been a while, hasnt it…
And many a thing hath ‘gone down’ hehe.
For one, I got a job, spent two months walking to work through the English countryside and creating a Sonar program in C#.
After which I spent around a month doing very little, apart from screwing with my server so now it doth-not work.
And for most of that month (from the weekend that I finished work to about 2 weeks ago) my internet was down/flakey as hell. On the Saturday after I finished work, our phoneline got struck by lightning. Our phoneline magically gained a massive dose of intermittent static. It took 5 phone calls to my ISP, 3 of their technicians and 2 BT technicians to fix it. Eventually they replaced the ancient wiring between our house and the pole, and after that it was pretty much clean.
Whilst I was with no nets, I read a selection of books, including Alastair Reynolds’ epic in Relevation Space, and then the Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix which I thoughtfully enjoyed. I then headed for the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, reading the last book, Brsinger, for the first time.
After getting back web-side I caught up with my feeds, which were OVER 9000!…only kidding, though they were probably close to 5k, with at least 2k of which being tech-news. And over 300 were comics, which was great, I laughed for a prolonged period
I also re-discovered Dragonmount and their spam boards, upon which I met some great people. Upon one of which this post was inspired and is dedicated to. Her nickname is Meesh, and her caricature a squirrel. She spammed with me, and I spammed with her. (Now I know what your thinking…but alas! Twas not so! :D )
We added each other upon MSN and became avid chatterers, both major WoT fanatics (obviously) and also great fans of fantasy fiction in general. Her in love, and in a LDR, me in not very much at all. She a fresh(wo)man starting courses in many interesting subjects, me a computer-science and maths second-year. Her interested in psychoanalysis, me in need of a shrink ( :P ). So yeah, we have been talking quite a bit for about a month and a bit.
Then she comes on today and starts saying stuff like “you’re awesome” and “its been great” and I am like…”shıt, she thinks I fancy her, or I am being overbearing or something”. It turns out that would have been a simpler situation, and at least one I would have experience in dealing with. Lets just say she has now got me blocked pending a time upon which she stops considering me a threat upon her welfare. That sounds so bad, but dont worry, it was I that suggested it. I cant help but feel responsible in part to this, due to my over-enthusiastic (maybe??) complementation of her…Ahh well, I am happy to wait as long as she isnt unhappy :)
Some fantastic videos, there are on this internets.
And some fantastic images too.
You may have noticed (probably not) that I have stopped automatically adding my ‘starred’ items from the reader to my blog. I am thinking of finding something that automattically compiles my daily stars so that I have less posts that arent composed by me. I wonder if there is one around googles :D.
So. Yeah. I went ahead and bought myself a “slice” on prgmr for £40 for a year. Its awesome, I can configure it however the hell I want. I also bought 2 domains not so long ago:
I have no idea what I am going to put up on either of them, but I successfully figured out how to point an A (DNS) Record for both http://*.[domain]/ and http://[domain]/ as the latter wasnt working with just *. . I know for sure I will try to implement any version of ClassyCMS I see fit, possibly with the (remote-ish) server on server.fbstj.net and subdomains for specializations like wiki and forums etc…
I think I will make (eventually) fbstj.net a fully ClassyCMS site; with subdomains:
