Category: My Past

Me and dave have been fucking about for years now, never really getting anything business wise off the ground. But we have kinda come to the conclusion that we have probably suffored everything BAD a new company suffors in business, and we have never got anything off the ground!

1. Had a director leave after a dispute (resignation)
2. Been awarded a CCJ thanks to bad business sence from said director.
3. Nearly been entraped by snake like greedy business men
4. Had our name tarnished thanks to other people abusing our name for their benifit
5. Nearly completly disbanded due to internal problems

There is probably shit loads of other things, its just been one bad thing from another. But were gonna show people what we are capable of. Were putting all our skills in one basket, and maximising every oppertunity that comes our way.

Watch this space!

Ok, so we decided to change servers. I rented a new freshly installed server, twice as much resources as the last one, and a hell of a lot more secure!

But with moving servers, come’s headaches! Luckily for me, my mate Daniel did 99% of it, in fact he’s done 100% of it bless him – but i was the one on the receiving end of all the shit lol..

I must of had 20 people tell me “Maxxd isnt working” – Now i appreciate them telling me, as one day i might not be at a PC when the site go’s down. But after the 10th person has told you it starts getting quite frustrating. I sign out of gtalk and MSN (i use msn for notifying poeople of server status) so people cant nag at me and tell me “Maxxd is down” – and then wiggy who works with me gets people telling him “Tell olly maxxd is down” Dave is worst for it (yes you you c*nt) as he seems to have nawt to do EVER and just chats at me all day..

DAVE! Get a job you lazy bastard! rofl..

During the day long period of downtime, its been really hard for me. Ive not been able to do anything! I even updated my myspace blog the other night, as i felt i needed to end my day with a blog entry. I might move 0lly.uk over to my NTL webspace.. That shits guarenteed to be up ALLL the time.

Been really really slack at work this week so far. The heat means my printer doesnt work right, and i basically cant do anything. So ive installed a hour long tutorial on illustrator – im gonna study that – and im playing with a cool new plugin for PSCS2 called 3D Maker 🙂 Its great! 🙂

Im going to play poo sticks tongiht with helen. Ive been gettin some practise in so hopefully i can beat her lol..

My weekends are starting to look very similar again. Usual case of finish work friday – get mashed up friday night and then up for work saturday. 12 hours security shift on the saturday where i piss about with my computer, get a suntan and generally do very little. Then a fairly early night saturday and then a massivly relaxed sunday.

I cant complain tho i guess, im choosing to work at weekends so i can save money up. I hate doing the shifts, but they are nessesery if i am to achive my goal. I need to look at ways of making a bit more cash tho, as £180 extra every two weeks is pretty poor. Saying that if i could save it all up after two years i would have near 10 grand.

My relationship with helen is going fine i think. She is the kind of person i can talk to and tell her anything – ive already told her things i have told only about 3 people before – really personal things. And i know she wont laugh, or judge me for it.. If our relationship continues up until i have to travel then i know its going to be very hard to let her go.

Anyway, sundays are my favorite day now. As its shaping up to be the only full day where i have no stress and nothing to do. Roll on next sunday!

Ok, so i didnt lose my phone as such. I use my phone as an alarm clock, like many people do i expect? Anyway, i had left my charger at work and my battery was running really low. It got to about 11:30pm and it was about empty. So as a safety net, i sent maddsy a text message telling him to ring my house number at 8:00am in case my battery had died.. Just as i pressed send, 2 seconds later and *ding dong* it turns off..

Did maddsy get my text message?

Was i going to be late for work after id had a crap day the day before and been humiliated in front of my boss? 

I had to find a solution, so i looked about for any old phones i have. I have got a couple, and knew where one was straight away. I tried my sim in, and i coudnt get the phone to turn on. I tried for about 10 mins and gave up. I then had the idea of using my ipod wired to my pc speakers – as it has an alarm function on.. I set that and went to sleep panicing i wasnt going to wake up in the morning.

8:00am came around fast like usual, and maddsy did ring me so he had got the text. I got up and went to work as normal, only when i got to work and charged my phone up for a bit, i noticed there was a black cross on the signal icon. Oh fuck. Sim card!

I went home at lunch time to see if i could find it, and couldnt. I got home after work and i  turfed my bedroom upside down but its managed to escape me completly. So i sat down and started the process of ringing orange up to sort out my little dilemma.

After the automated jungle..

“Hello your through to orange how can i help?”

“Hi yes, ive lost my sim card in my room somewhere, i need a new one”

“Ok, have you got a crime number?”

“Erm, i lost it in my bedroom luv”

“Yes i heard you, but you still need a lost item reference number”

“And what happens if i dont give you one?”

“Well we’d have to charge you £15 for a new sim card”

“…”

The phone call got pretty heated after that, although i did keep appologising, and telling the poor woman that i knew she just worked there. I ended the phone call quite abruptly, and sat bubbeling away for a few minutes..

I then thought to myself, fuck it, ill waste the police’s time and get a pissin crime number. After one unsuccessful attempt of being put through to the right department, i got through to someone at the police station and was talking to her for about 15 minutes..

“where was the last place you saw your sim card?”

“err, next to a sock”

It was a complete waste of police time, and my time, but was totally necessery if i was to get a free bloody sim card. I got back through to orange with my poxy number, and a pretty helpful guy who sorted me out, asked me more pretty stupid questions about if people could of been in my room and shit.. Total bollocks..

And now i have to wait ages to get a new sim card. The only way they can redeem themselves now is if that sim is here tomorrow. Cos ill say this for nawt.. Orange has just lost one of their customers.. And ill never go back to the bastards either..

It feels like my arm has been ripped off tho, im totally cut off.. i hate it…
