  • Test from “Windows Live Writer”

    Wow. This is a test from windows live writer. A friend of mine has just come on Gtalk, and before he had finished talking about it, I had installed and configured this groovy little tool. It installed fast, and configured very easily.

    I quite like using the web based version of the editor tho. Fuck, I’ve just realised its got a built in spell checker. Now that’s a fantastic idea. I cant change my mood tho, so ill have to go in and edit that using the web interface.

    Its definitely a good idea tho, although it makes me wonder. Microsoft are a shady company. I’m sure old gatsey would start a PC hardware company up tomorrow and dominate the world if he could. He’s just not allowed to. So this to me looks like a way of Microsoft getting their name known in the blogging world. They offer their MSN spaces, but they are very restrictive. My mate wardo uses one and its always playing up in FF.

    In conclusion, this blogging tool is pretty cool. I will probably forget about it and use the web interface still anyway. This is handy for when my boss is near, and it doesn’t look like I have got any Internet browser windows open. 🙂

    Peace.

  • Its been a while..

    I dont normally leave it very long between blog entries. But quite recently ive been too tired to turn my laptop on before i go to sleep. Im still sufforing quite badly from this cold, and ive been off work all day resting. I hope i feel better tomorrow.

    I took some really cool pictures on my new phone, and some awesome videos of jody scratching. Hes absalutley brilliant at it, in fact id say hes done some of the most impressive scratching ive ever seen. Ill post the videos tomorrow.

    I cant really think of anything else to say. Im going to blow my nose, wash my face and hit the sack. Becoming a routene.. I hate them so much. Id love to live a life that was totally random, everyday a different place and different people. I guess one day my life will be like that. Roll on that day thats all im sayin!

    Peace out brothers and sisters.

  • Spam Comments

    Quite recently search engines have been buzzing around our websites. Maxxd, SSDB.. and this one. And i becasue of this sudden increase in search engine bot violation my wordpress blog seems to of attracted the spammers!

    I believe its some form of bot that tralws the internet finding wordpress installations then basically commenting on things with stupid fucking ad’s such as..

    Bradford hope to keep Derby pair
    Bradford are hoping to poker hands Derby duo poker hands Holmes and Nathan Doyle’s loan spells.


    This guy on his blog go’s into some detail about how it works, its late and my eyes are frosting over so im gonna have a better read of it tomorrow. I guess the technology behind the spam bots is pretty impressive – its a shame they couldnt put it to better use.

    The last hour has SHOT by, i was in for an early night too. I seem to have some form of cold – which is pretty shocking as its supposed to be summer. Either that or im finally allergic to something or im sufforing from hayfever for the first time. My eyes itch too?

    And i didnt get those fucking websites finished. I must rememebr to do them. Its taking the mick now!

  • Server Upgrade.

    We went from 1024mb ram, to 1536mb today. We have been thinking low memory may be the reason for the load shooting high. As the server was using Virtual Memory, and the VM process was using up the load. Or so djb had told me anyway. it seems to be doing the trick tho.

    Load Average 1 = 1.12

    It hasnt gone above that so far, it has only been up 26 min since the ram was installed tho, so i guess only time will tell. Its half the memory again tho, so it should be more then enough.

    I feel ok today, a bit down but it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Im back to not having to think about someone else’s feelings etc. I know that sounds horribly selfish, but truth be told – im not very good at thinking for other people, i find it hard enough conentrating on my own life, never mind other peoples. So i guess that makes me pretty incompatible with the whole dating game. Nic was differnet cos she became part of my life (which i didnt want) instead of living hers along side mine.

    Im gonna go home tongiht, and i recon im ACTUALLY going to finish these websites off. Its about time! I know!
