I guess i have been hoping for a miracle, or something random to happen that leave me with some cash. Like some refunded bank charges, or the sale of my car.. Then id be able to pay for some bits and bobs and have fun at nationals. But, suprisingly enough no miracle happened – no money fell from the sky – i didnt sell my car, and no bank charges were refunded.

I cannot borrow any money off anyone, i cannot get a loan, i cant extend my overdraft. I have no savings.. I literally have nowhere to turn! I cant afford my ticket, i cant afford to get down there, cant afford to buy anything to take there. I dont know what to do..

Im gonna check my bank again, just in case something random happened like a computer error.

Yeah like thats gonna happen! 🙁

EDIT – I rang my mum, and again.. she’s helping me out. I feel like im 15 again getting pocket money.. 🙁

Then i have got news for you. I was thinking that an application to access my gmail straight from my phone instead of having to go thru the internet, would be great. So i googled it, and sure enough thanks to a blog entry by Hennie from the Sabinet Tech Watch i found the application i was looking for.

Simply point your symbian phone to http://gmail.com/app – and download the application. Its perfectly safe, and takes advantage of the phones Java support to give a brilliant interface to use – not too dissimilar from the regular gmail interface you get on your pc – albeit a tad smaller.

I have set up my olstar@gmail.com email to use with that, so if anyone ever needs me then you now know what to do. Unless ive been cut off, which happens a lot recently.. bah..

The Maxxd Mag was never meant to take over everything we do, but again IT HAS. Dave, ollie and myself didnt leave the office on friday morning untill 2:00am – then back to work at 8:30am to finish some more bits and bobs off on the first proper edition of the Maxxd Magazine.

Its now 14:12 on saturday, and im back at work again to do some more work on it. The designers that originally did the mag for us failed to tell us all images needed to be CMYK, and tif’s – so i now have the task of changing nearly 150 images in qwark – one by one.

Its not something im looking forward to, and i would be doing it now except i need to copy the contents of all the folders to my laptop harddrive (not my portable one) so that it runs faster. Its USB1 you see, and its slower than something that is pisstakingly slow.

Just checked, 46 minutes remaining! I think that time thing when copying files is a load of rubbish really. It will be some kind of formula, (size of file) / (max available transfer rate) x 4,000,000 – as it never really seems very accurate.

In other news, im still struggling to make ends meet – i literally take each day as it comes. I dont even have the cash available to buy a nationals ticket yet, and its next weekend! I hope something changes soon.

Why is it that the world is full to the brim with complete fucking procrastinators? Dave and myself are constantly being let down by people who say they are gonna do this, and gonna do that – and then in the end turn out to be a complete fucking time waster.

Over the years i have been a bit of a procrastinator myself, but more recently i have started actually doing what i set out and tell people im going to do. I rarely say “oh im gonna do this or buy this” as i usually cant afford it – and therefore i dont want people to look at me and think im a twat. So why is it that half, if not more of the population of this world talks complete shit? They make fake promises, tell you they’l help you with this, and with that.. Then when deadlines approach they all fuck off and hide in a corner whimpering like a little bitch thats had its head kicked in.

And what ever happened to being decent? MMS gets faced with many deadlines and predicaments – and we have to liaise with a lot of people in regards these. So why is it that i must hear the phrase “Ill get back to you…” 14 million times a day, and yet about 3 or those 14 million get back to me? A simple “Sorry, cant help you there mate” would be better – instead of just ignoring it!
Why say something, and then not do it? Is it me, or is that just stupid? Am i the only person that thinks this? Does anyone else out there get pissed off with people making false promised and talking a pile of shit?

If im ever elected prime minister, or president or some shit – im gonna make it illegal to talk shit. And if your caught doing it you’d get shot in the head.

Arggggggg!
