Infinite rain 16th August 2008

It never seems to stop raining in this land. There hasn’t been a day I can recently remember where there hasn’t been water falling from the sky.

It’s back 5th August 2008

I have the flu again…

Here, watch some exploding Elmo as I recover:

Slow internet… at 1:24am 7th July 2008

Here’s a quickie — Last month my ISP introduced a new pricing plan. It was to prevent torrenters and p2pers from taking up all the bandwidth during the peak hours. The new plan goes like this: between the hours of 12am and 6am, you can download your socks off all for free. The downside is you have to pay a tad more for bandwidth used during peak hours / day time.

So now I’m stuck between two boulders — YouTube is insanely slow. I was once able to watch it from start to finish in one go after 12am. Now can I not only watch YouTube before 12, but it’s just as unbearable before 12.

Poos.

Square Soap 28th June 2008

I don’t understand why soap companies are still churning out square soap - it is so very uncomfortable to use.

Immobilisation 13th June 2008

I have never felt so sick in my life. I slept for nearly 24 hours yesterday. I had a headache, cough and fever. Grotty.

I am sleepy 2nd June 2008

Last night I had the craziest dream. It could be classed as a horror-dream — the type where it’s so scary yet you’re intrigued to find out what happens next.

It starts off when I’m playing guitar in front of this stage while this person is speaking. For some odd reason, it was hooked up to the main speakers. I was plucking my guitar strings making weird awkward noises which provoked fury amongst the audience. The weird thing was they didn’t know who it was. Then my friend discretely turned down the volume knob, and unplugged my guitar, careful that he wouldn’t give me away.

Time passes (i.e. I can’t remember what happens for the next few minutes or this was another one of those disjointed dreams).

The presentation ends and the crowd dismantles themselves from their nicely rows of chairs, and exit through the back door. I walk to put my guitar away until I realise that my guitar neck had fallen of. This was super scary. I even checked in my dream to see if was really a dream - you know, the thing they always do in movies - however the reality check came out to be positive. I thought I was living in the moment.

Can’t actually remember what happens next, however it’s at the end of the day. My surroundings are tinted grey, turning into black, surrounded by an atmosphere which is dense with pollution. I was outside. Out the back of the place where I just watched the presentation seemed to be some sort of train yard. There seemed to be at least 20 set of tracks strewn across before me. There were diesel trains which looked as if they had not been treated with soap and water for many years, were constantly shunting carriages along the tracks.

I was on my way to the Rockshop. It’s a place where they sell all things guitary. I wanted to get a quote to see how much this guitar with a broken neck would set me back. The Rockshop in this particular dream was set just on the other side of these 20 set of tracks. The darkness of night was slowly crawling over me - I knew that I’d have to move pretty quick to get there just in time before the store closes.

This part seems a tad vague. I remember falling into this storm-water ditch which was bridged with a–believe it or not–bridge. Trains wooshed all over the place. Well actually, they didn’t woosh - they were actually rather slow and most of them were at a far off distance. But for some strange reason, I’d stand there and wait a few seconds for one to pass. Because I was scared I’d get crushed.

Woot. I reach the other side - only to find out that the Rockshop had already closed. Quite strange, dreams, because I remember what the inside looked like - I remember walking inside the Rockshop - yet it was closed.

My dream ends there. I was left rot in disappointment for a while in my own mind as I waited to wake up.

The refresh 2nd May 2008

Away at the top, left-hand corner of my room, I sit at the computer. I’m making the web look nicer, site by site. But lately, I’ve been selfish. So soon it will be my own site which gets a bit of a spicing up. Mmm. Coffee?

Yay, I’m not hibernating - yet 16th March 2008

I’ve finally reached the state of neglect, as one does after a few months, before he or she is rejuvenated - it’s a cyclic thing. There are so many things going on around me (which is a lie, actually) which has forced me into a non-blogging state.

Hrm, I’ve forgotten what I was going to say.

I don’t think this was it, but it will do — Lately, I have been influenced, as you do, by all these new snazzy sites popping up all over the show. This means I get to re-design my site, again! Oh yay horray. Actually, it won’t really be a re-design as such, just moving things about, and making things look nicer; but overall, I think it will look different.

Wordpress 2.5 was planned to be released on the 10th March, which has passed, which means they such a meeting targets. Overall, the admin looks much better than the current Wordpress, but structurally, it lacks order and elegance. Check out a demo of it here: WP 2.5 Demo (U: admin P: demo)

Oh yeah, let’s ramble 23rd January 2008

One more day until exam results come out. Very scary. How scared? To the extent that last night I had a dream that I got A for Physics, B for Maths and C for English — or something similar, anyways, I got one of each, A, B and C. (Man, right now there’s this moth which is attacking my leg. Very annoying. How annoying? Every-so-often, I have to move my legs to deter it from landing on my leg, because it feels funny)

Today a became a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, minus the Ninja and Turtle. Today arrived the tasty Apple Keyboard, and guess what you little Apple Fan-people, I don’t actually own anything Apple. It’s weird how Apple-Fans like to fend off people who are mutants; people who use a fusion of Apple and non-Apple things. (Apple and Linux fans are basically are both at the polar extremes of fan-boism. They stick to their guns and defend their claim that ‘theirs is better’ even though they know they’ve lost. Lost two hundred and five times.) So basically my reason for buying this keyboard is because there was a sale, priced at $49 — which is $23 off, which is 31% off. Basically, it was an impulse buy.

The Keyboard

The keyboard is nice to type on, is moderately function and is, indeed sturdy — However I’ve reached a situation where it seems out-of-place [aggh, moth just attacked me again]. All my peripherals, tower, monitor and desklamp are all a shade of black. The keyboard’s colour composition: #F2F2F2 and #FFFFFF. And it doesn’t fit in. So time for contemplation: Shall I forfeit style points for aesthetics, or vice versa? (That was actually a rhetorical question, and the decision is ultimately up to me).

Incomplete work

As school slowly dredges it’s way towards me, I stand still (because time moves, and basically you stand still, unless you’re into time travel or like travelling at fast speeds). Moving on, school starts next week and it smells. And I have like heaps of ideas for stuff to write about, but once I try and start typing, nothing comes out at all, or I get distracted. So I decided I’d do what I do best (apart from letting flatulence free) — ramble. Uh oh, dad told me to go to sleep. And so I shall, being a good, obedient, boy. Goodnight internet peoples.
