Moved Out!

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Its been a bit hectic recently. I’ve spent the past week on holiday, though going back further than that. I’ve had to move out of Number 20 : o

Atm I’m living in Frizington until Ican get a job in Carlisle, where I’ll be moving into the new Number 20!

So I’ve spent the last week moving all my stuff and now I’m trying to get used to it all. I’m a half hour bus journey from everything now :E and more importantly I’m currently without the internet :o Thankfully I still have my iphone else I’d be lost without my Facebook or my Google Reader

Other than that things are quite quiet, my pc is a bit lost without the internet to talk to, I’m probably going to miss the next WoW patch (3.2 Colliseum) and I’ve got an arse load of cleaning to do back at the flat :(

Cleaning -_-

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Why is cleaning so dull, I wonder if there’d ever be a way to make it interesting enough to want to keep on top of it all :/

On a better note Terminator 2 is on TV ^_^blog110

Back to the Future!

Nothing to do with the hit movie (A classic might I add)

I’ve spent the day when I returned home from my mams fixing retrojaffa again, I’ve uploaded all my images to flickr to get some slideshows on the go. Discovered a nice system when putting together Jen’s photography website so I’ll maybe sort that out before I go to bed. On top of that, I’ve went through all my old posts here fixing them up where I’ve noticed they’re now no longer valid and tagged anything relevant to gaming under gaming so I can change that section up there ^ Also means I’m going to change the way I write about games to make more sense on all these things (And to make it easier to search)

Also discovered that this theme automatically resizes pictures that are too big for it so it doesn’t break the tables. So I’ve made that picture in the previous post bigger to compensate and it looks a lot better now I think

Spent the trip to my mams earlier listening to podcasts, can’t believe its taken me this long to catch onto why they’re so good :o Listening away to PC Gamer and WoW Insider mostly atm, as well as The Rattle (A podcast I’m in myself \o/ Don’t you know [Plug, Plug, Plug]) Speaking of which, episode 2 should be up by the end of the week, its with Jackson atm while he puts the finishing touches to it. This episode will be about the after effects of E3 (Episode 1 as it happens was our Pre-3 predictions)

There was more I was going to write about in here but I can’t remember now :/

Oh yeah I got a new meaty computer too, but I’ll post about that tomorrow when I can be arsed

Edit: Just heard some people in my podcast talking about a country called Tuvalu, its an awesome country I stumbled upon back in my old geography classes at school

At Home with the Mother

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Decided to go see my mam today and help her with some jobs shes got. Thought it’d be a great idea to walk the way (you know, try and get a bit more active again seen as I’m a mess these days)

Anyhow, I didn’t quite factor in that my new shoes hadn’t been broken in. On top of that, my trousers were fresh out of the wash and a little stiff. So ultimatly I arrived here on my last legs, knackered and sweating like a leaky shower :E

But a couple of bacon buttys and a cup of tea later I seem to be recovering well dear readers \o/

Anyhow, I’m using this more as a test of uploading images and iPhone blogging. I’m going to do some more work today on retrojaffa when I return home. Maybe redo the gallerys or something. Anyhow we’ll see :p

Egads!

Zomg a post!

And not just a post, but a post on a completely un-retrojaffa theme :o

Meaning only one thing, I’ve updated finally! After discovering I was almost 3 version out of date I thought maybe it was time. Unfortunatly, because my usual theme is so heavily augmented by me and my coding scalpel knife that I’ve got to start from scratch again :/ Never mind, onto bigger things I guess :D

Edit: Woot, I’ve managed to return the site to its former glory. On top of that I’m updating this post from my iPhone as a test. Next big test is to draw a picture on colours and straight upload it via ftp. I’ll tag it onto here when its done

Edit #2: Right I think I’ll have to leave this as is for now, currently every section is down as I redesign it to be a bit more update friendly. Which means rehosting all movies and rehosting the galleries as well. Maybe even actually write a gaming section finally ( I might just make it a link to a category set and just tag all the posts that are purely gaming related, that’d make my life easier) Oh and I’ll rewrite the about me page before I go to bed as well as maybe scribble that picture I talked about. For the time being I’m happy with having the site updated again and in a working order, even if pretty much all the content is missing :p

Reminds me, I need to change the emoticon code at some point

Man injured in air rifle rifle shooting

Man injured in air rifle rifle shooting

“A 20-year-old man suffered leg injuries when he was shot with an air rifle in west Cumbria”

The article goes on to say

“Anyone who saw the attacker, who was wearing a hooded top and black tracksuit bottoms with white stripes, should contact the Cumbria force”

Have they been to Whitehaven? Thats implicating over 2/3 of the populance -_-

OMW!

Check me out updating retrojaffa… On my new blackberry… On a train… In scotland :o
So ill keep this short seen as its costing me a fortune no doubt and update later. I’m heading for a course with work but had nothing but problems atm, I’ve still managed to draw a picture for the post mind, though its on the ds so I’ve just had to take a photo of it for now

EDIT: So this part is on my actual computer as I suddenly discovered Scotland is behind of the rest of the UK in EDGE cover and I accidently tried uploading a 1mb file from my mobile which is madness. I’m attaching the actual picture from my DS now instead rather than the photo. Basically thats me on Carlisle platform looking at my train to Glasgow that at that point I didn’t have tickets for because of a mix up at work. On and thats some shelves I took with me to the hotel but I think they got left there, I’m not quite sure and don’t want to ask in case they get sent back to me :E

Oh No You Didn’t!

Oral sex linked to throat cancer

Tea

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Arse

Seriously though, what doesn’t increase your chances of cancer these days? One day you read in the news “Red meat is good for you!” then the following week its all “omgnoes red meat gives you cancer!”

You know what, I’ll drink my tea and I’ll like it. Shit off cancer and shit off science. Bastards

RIP 5kg Bag of Sugar

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Today is a dark day, I had to finally lay to rest that 5kg bag of sugar I bought… well I don’t know when. I’d be tempted to say 6 months ago if not longer. I honestly can’t remember when I last had to buy sugar, which I think is a bad thing but I can’t help but see it as a good on ^o)

What this does mean is sometime later this week I’ll have to buy sugar, and thus a new 5kg bag can enter office for a fresh term \o/

In other news I’ve now broken the smileys on the site after having a fiddle to add a couple more, I’ve inadvertently replaced the sites file (Which is out of date anyhow, I really must update) with an even older version which is causing it to throw up all sorts of shit :/ I didn’t really want to spend my last day of holiday reinstalling the website, so I’m going to put it off… Oh never mind I managed to find a file to replace it with yay ^_^
