  • A day of nothing..

    Today i did, nothing. I got up when i couldnt sleep any longer, woke. Wake and bake. Watched some tv. Dozed off. Woke up. Watched more tv, etc etc. If im honest, its the first time i had NOTHING to do, for an entire day. I did go on my pc for half a hour while i had my breakfast, but nothing too stressful.

    I was going to break my day of nothingness by going out with H for a bit, then goin to daves pub after that. But i was rung up by work and had to do a shift 8-12. It wasnt long hours and i needed the money..

    And I had been thinking earlyer on when i was handing hard earnt cash over in exchange for a bag of plants that it would be wonderful if i could just make some money today. A little bit of cash so i dont have to take any more money out my account to settle some little debts. And low and behold, as i was walking back from getting the key for the security office at work, my boss handed my £30 and kinda made a remark that suggested i didnt put this down on my time sheet. πŸ˜‰ It was almost a wish come true!

    I got home and did, nothing. πŸ™‚ Watched “Its all about the Benjamins” – which is absalutly brilliant from start to finish πŸ™‚ One of the best days off ever officially! Im about to go and get my sleep on, peace out brothers ‘n sisters πŸ™‚

    EDIT – And i won £4 on a scratch card! Camon’ stinky!

  • Show me the way to go home…

    Im tired and i want to go to bed! I have run out of the material i print on @ work, which means i can only do the printing side of the printing and pressing part of my job. So that basically means gradually printing shit out onto huge rolls of paper..


    Like this..

    And sitting staring into space..


    Like this…

    And generally fucking about with either websites, or cool shit i have on my desk..


    Shit like camo netting…

    As you can probably tell, im bored.. I think ill do karls site after ive been to the loo and aimlessly walked about for half a hour or so. I might go lock myself in a room and practise breakdancin’ πŸ™‚

    Break it down!

  • Gallery2, Maxxd and Websites in general..

    I think there is something about this server that is cursed. Ever since we have moved to it, ive had fuck all but problems with it. For example..

    Today, i spent HOURS re-building my gallery. I had to remake EVERY single folder, and re-add EVERY single picture. It was a pain in the arse, but i thought that if i used a nice fresh clean install of G2, and built it from scratch, id be sound. Oh how fucking wrong i could be! I set it up, and it was all working great. Then a few hours later it was fucked. I had changed NOTHING. daniel had changed NOTHING on that account, it was fucking STUPID!

    Ive kinda fixed it now, but im not fucking letting it do shit like that. Im gonna find me a better gallery for my olstar page. I only started using their fucking galleries cos they claimed to be able to accept shit straight from nokia phones. And ive never got that working.. so fuck them!!

    Maxxd is having another overhaul, daniel is really working hard to make it exacttly what we need. The next stage for him is to intergrate the gallery, hes probably gonna migrate away from G2 tho, onto something like coppermine, as G2 is just, well gay!

    I ploughed thru some of the outstannding work i have today. Finished the Amen Corner Site, Made a proper start on the K-Tintz one, and thought about what i could do for the ghettro gallery solution. Hopefully i can get karls finished this week, then ghettro one next week, and them in sorted. *Phew!*

    Hometime soon, im gonna try and blag a lift because i feel so weak its untrue. My legs wobble when i walk! πŸ˜†

  • Does your bank charge you far too much money?

    Mine does. Everytime i go overdrwan (which is quite a lot) i get charged about £30. I have been through stages in the last few years when i have had up to £120 in charges backed up, so when the first of the month came around i had a sum deducted from my balance. Lloyds Tsb seem to be a pretty good bank in most peoples eyes, well i dont hear many people moaning about them anyway. But all i seem to ever have off them is greif and debts!

    In my opinion my bank should look after me. I pay money into my account every week, and the amount of times ive missed a direct debit, or a card transaction by ONE day, or by a few hours, is unbeliveable. If i ran the bank id have some form of early warning system, where if a customer of mine was going to be taken over their overdraft limit, id give them a curtosey call the day before..

    “Hi there, this is jermaine from The Royal Bank of Olstar, we have noticed you are going to go over your overdraft limit when your next payment go’s out tomorrow morning, would you like us to temporarily increase your overdraft limit, or cancel the direct debit so that the company in question contacts you regarding the payment?” 

    If scientists can make a working car out of a single molecule, i think that somone somewhere is capable of writing a script for banks so they can pre-warn their customers! Its not too much to fucking ask!

    Anyway, my mum piped up about a site that go’s into a LOT of detail about getting charges back from banks. The sites say that the amount some banks charge is unlawful, and that we (the banks customers) deserve our money back! To be fair though, £30 for a computer to automatically print, fold, sign seal and deliver a letter is a bit excessive!

    Tongiht i added up the amount i think my bank should give me back, and from what i can work out its well over £1500! Im gonna follow the procedures on that site, and see what happens! I could clear a lot of the debt i have if i got that money back! So fingers crossed!

    After i had done that H picked me up, and she demonstrated what a great singing voice she has. Her and Sarah are queen’s of kareoke – or so im told πŸ˜‰ I can imagine they are very entertaining actually, H does the little dances and everything. Haha..

    We then proceeded to have a baby wipe fight, and i now smell like i have been changing nappies. Great! πŸ˜† Ill get you back i will!

    I best sleep now to be fair, i was nearly late yesterday cos i didnt go to sleep till stupid o’clock.

    Oh, new maxxd.com (again) this week, thanks daniel πŸ™‚
