I have recently bought a new laptop. Its not new new, but its about 3 times more powerful than my last one. But something isnt right just yet with it. I think it needs a new hard drive. It runs ok, but there is a lot of hard-drive crunching.
Its quite strange tho, i have ran my old Satellite Pro 4200 for about 6 years. I have taken it to bits LOADS of times, its had a new hard drive, it had blagged memory put in it, and ive even tried changing the CDROM once. And through some feat of engineering, it has lasted and ran sweeter than a nut all its life. Well, untill yesterday.

I wanted to see what memory sticks were in the old laptop, so i opened up the back took the sticks out to see if tey would work in my new laptop. They fit – but didnt work. And then when i tried to power up the old one, i get some error saying a file is missing please insert the winxp disck to continue. How? Why?

I think the problem is my old puter has caught wind of me playing with my new one, has seen the amount of time i spend with it, and has simply given up on me. If im perfectly honest i think i may swap hard drives as the old one always ran bob on. I may look for a larger one on ebay, but i quite like the idea of not havin to shell out any money.

I can safely say, being olstar is finally paying off! My superstar site has been ticking over nicely – got 5 or 6 regulars that are real superstar enthusiasts. Which to be fair, is 10 times better than having 100 randoms who just use it for a chat site.

Anyway, one of the members is called Gez Ensine,and he’s a Hip Hop tour manager! So obviously i quizzed him and said that if he does anything in notts, that he’s to hook me up!

And hes only gone and done just that! 3rd May @ Rock City in Notts – The Streets & Sway! WTF! how cool is that! Guest List Stylee! So ive asked to see if he can get me and 2 others on the list – Looks like me tim and shep are goin to have one fuckin awesome night!

Sway is a UKHH artist, won best UK Hip Hop last year at some show. Not heard much of his stuff, but who cares! if its live it wil be good!

And i have got to work sunday night to tuesday morning. Ahhfuckit. 🙁

I appologise to any of you who have been trying to access my blog, and have been getting a “cannot be displayed” error. Im having some DNS issues with the server, and me or djb cant put our fingers on it. Ive added another A record into the config for 0lly.uk, for the 0lly subdomain. Hopefully thats sorted it.

Its the easter weekend, today is thursday but technically its friday as theres no more dayjob untill tuesday! But just to burst my bubble, security rang me and wanted me to work from tongiht to tuesday – i kinda told him to get on the right bus. But i did say i would work some of it. I refuse to work the lot tho, they must think im some kind of machine!

I got 3 easter eggs this year, two from my mom, and one from work. The work one is about demolished tho, and its only 13:33.

I had been to the NEC today to look at some cool new printers n shit – with me boss and craig. It was a huge show, and (as my boss quite rightly said on the way down) It must be one of the most expencive-to-run shows ever!

One large cpmpany from Germany had hired a WHOLE hall out at the NEC, costing over £3million! JUST for floor space! I think they had brought the whole factory with them + all their employees!

The show was great but the ride home left me feeling a little ill. So when i got home i started installing a few bits and bobs onto my new laptop – while it was installing the updates and the new hardware i just went to lay down on my bed for a few minutes.

…..

That was about 6:00pm, its now 10:09pm haha.. I have woke up to get undressed cos i was still fully clothed. I should really have a bath now, but i think ill wait till the morning, as ill probably wake up at about 7:00am due to having too much sleep!

New laptop is bangin, but as the previous owner didnt give it a fresh installation of windows it does run a little slow at times. im gonna rebuild it, re-install windows, buy and fit a dvd/cdrw combo (available on the bay for £50ish) and its having up to 1gb of memory too. So for an extra £100 ill of made this one kick ass laptop!

Notts ice skating tomora night! Woop! To say ive been skating since i was about 13, i have never been skating in the new notts rink!
