I have quite recently purchased some new goodies off eBay to spice my laptop up, and make it more suitable for use in my home office.

I bought some cool usb speakers, a usb sound card as mine was screwed, and a pcmci USB2.0 card 😀

But then the problems started to happen.. I think my laptop KNEW i wanted to replace it eventually… or saw these upgrades as a way of me saying “YOu are not good enough!” so the day i got my USB 20.0 card, it shit its self and i needed to reformat it. I managed to get all my data backed up first though, so two days later and i had it back up and running how i wanted it..

And then.. I got given a new computer! (sods law)  And i had to format that, and rebuild it to my specification! Argg!

Over the last few days i have come to the following conclusions!

1. Google browser sync RULES!
2. Usb2.0 RULES!
3. Trying to run NINE USB devices off a laptop with only 3 USB ports in the back ISNT a good idea! 😆
4. Sods law is a mother fucker!

My new pc is a dell, and its the first time i have not had a toshiba computer since my FIRST ever pc, about ten years ago! Its really cool, has a mint spec, big monitor and means i can now do my graphical work MUCH easier and much more precisely!!

I have also bought a cool cover for my 2.5 year old N73 as it was totally fucked! It now looks like a brand new phone!

I will update more tomorrow, as this keyboard is LOUD and people are trying to sleep! 😀

I have blogged a few times about how this website has interfered with my life in many ways, and again it seems to have kicked me in the bollocks.

This blog has seen me through many a hard time (and of course many good times too) The people that comment have reassured me and moaned at me – but its made the whole blogging experience worth while. I have had about 4 or 5 different blog setups, using three differnet blogging platforms (Joomla, Bblog and WordPress)

And i dont want to even start thinking about how many times i have changed the overall look of it! Yet nothing has ever deterred me from bloggin, and nothing ever will.

Anyone that knows me knows that i am shit at remembering things, i don’t remember birthdays, i dont remember special occasions, i dont remember why i start blog entries… Oh yeah.. Erm, yes.. my bad memory.. Anyway, i use this blog as a way of earmarking things for the future, i was able to clarify the exact date me and Gemma got together, as i blogged about it, i can look back and find the exact date i moved into my new house, because i blogged about it.

And that about sums up my blog and the reason i continue to use it after all these years. I dont blog for the benefit of others, i dont blog for the sake of it, i blog becasue if i didnt i would probably forget everything that has happened to me in the last few years – wether it be good, or bad.

I also blog becasue some times i feel that i need to talk to someone, but dont want to bore anyone with the really boring and stupid things i get depressed about. Most people have brothers, sisters, best mates, even just a close mum or dad they can chat shit to, and be reassured that “it will be ok”. I dont feel I have any of them.

I know that there are probably people i can talk to about stuff i do have a very understanding girlfriend, a lot of very good friends and assocates, but again, i dont wish to waste anyones life by talking to them about me for more than 5 mins.

But (and this bit IS for someone else) just because i write these things down, and not store them at the back of my mind so that they come up every now and then to haunt me, it doesn’t mean that i still think about them, and it doesn’t mean that how i was feeling at the time is still how i feel now.

I dont blog from the heart much any more, but from time to time i will. Looking back at my blog from a year or so ago and you can really see how i have changed as a person – i have grown up so much, although i still make many mistakes as i make my way through life.

I wouldn’t change 1 single thing about my past, because your past makes up who you are today, and i probably wouldn’t be with someone i love, in our own house, with a gorgeous baby puppy asleep on my feet if i changed something.

Anyway, if you have read this then sorry for wasting 10 mins your life.

Ill make it up to you, somehow.

Thats right folks, the original prankster has sadly passed away!

Tributes flooded in Thursday for television star and veteran prankster Jeremy Beadle who died Wednesday from pneumonia at the age of 59.

One of the best known faces on TV during the 1980 and 1990s, Beadle attracted viewers in excess of 15 million for shows like You’ve Been Framed, Game For a Laugh and Beadle’s About.

Born in Hackney, after school, he worked as an insurance clerk, music festival promoter, advertising salesman and assembly line worker.

His foray into television began as a writer and presenter of The Deceivers, a BBC2 history of swindlers and hoaxers, and Eureka, which told the stories behind everyday inventions.

In the last few years Beadle had been plagued by ill-health, having been diagnosed with leukaemia in 2005.

I just cant believe it, a TRUE TV legend..

He will live on in the phrase “Watch out, beadle’s about” as that will ALWAYS be in the back of every 80’s kids mind.

RIP big J – you will be missed by all!

 Jeremy Beadle – 12/04/48 – 30/01/08

REST IN PEACE! 

Well i guess things are starting to look up for a change. The businesses are doing well, and things are looking bright for the future. Looking back on last year i think we quite literally making things up as we went along, we were learning every day, and even though its only been one year it seems almost second nature now to do what we now do day by day.

I am still struggling to focus at times, i sometimes feel under pressure and with questions like “how am i going to pay this bill..” running through my head. But i seem to make ends meet when its really needed.

Im really lucky to have the people around me that i have. My girlfriend Gemma is an absolute saint – i really dont know how she does it, but she puts up with me day by day and still tells me she loves me even though im clearly affecting her, and her life with my conquest to become some kind of successful internet entrepreneur.

Its the kind of situation where you start questioning what your doing – “who am i kidding, i can earn £250 a week doing some design job in some company and pay my bills” – then something stamps down on you and wont let you make that decision, and i think that is just the back of my mind taking over for a bit and not allowing me to throw away what we have, and are achieving.

When you have people to feed, and animals to look after, your priorities change (or at least they should anyway) and these people and animals become the most important things in your life because in different ways they depend on you, and feeling like you are letting them down, and making them unhappy is the worst feeling in the world.

But every time, that feeling comes over me and will not allow me to give up. It also makes me feel slightly more focused – and just makes me more determined.

By the end of this year, however i manage to pull it off – i will be able to provide a better life for my family, even if that means working 20 hour days 7 days a week – i will do it! Hey, at least it will give me time to grow my afro.

I have to go to bed now, as its late and i need to continue my quest tomorrow bright and early!
