Annoyances 2nd February 2008

How do you get the bones of a Wordpress website looking good? The html source code of most Wordpress websites look horrible, including mine — Well I guess I deserve it, compliments the ugly site.

School has started, however my subject choices are subject to change (hah). My subjects clash like crash symbols. My misery is forever compounding - First bad exam marks and now this silly piece of poultry.

Additionally, I hate mouse spasms. I’ve got a optical mouse, and every-so-often, it has this spasm attack causing my cursor to fly to the top, left corner of my monitor.

Oh yeah, and isn’t it good to know that we’re already one twelfth the way through 2008?

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.

Hugo got pie-ed, mince and cheese pie-ed 16th February 2007

Ever seen someone apart from people on WhatNow and clowns on TV getting (cream) pie-ed? For the first time ever, I witnessed a real-life pie-ing of someone - but with a mince and cheese pie. The run-down is as follows:

Hugo lines up at tuckshop. Eugene pushes in front of him, Hugo questions his actions and then Eugene starts to swear at him. At this moment I question Eugene’s violence. Eugene orders his food, then as he leaves, smacks Hugo’s head. Hugo retaliates. Hugo pushes Eugene down the stairs. Eugene drops the pie which he was about to consume on the floor. Furious, he picks up the pie and runs towards Hugo. I shout out Hugo’s name to warn him. Mince, cheese and pastry rains down. Pie hits Hugo’s top left part of his head. A carnage or mince and cheese is spread on the tuckshop window frame and on Hugo’s forehead and hair. Hugo retaliates once again. Eugene throws some weak punches. I assist to breakup fight (I’m so involved). Fight breaks up and Eugene is called to a teacher. Hugo is made to recall these events, with minced meat all over the show.

There are always dick in this world. It’s these people I hate. These people don’t deserve a place in a developed country.

2 more days 5th February 2007

Oh how does thee time fly past thy eyes. Through a periscope my pupil gazes, my retina is flushed with light, my brain interprets the image. Through the periscope is a bird, a bird which is free - as it flies away I view a distant cloud thing then it rains. And now it’s time for school. I don’t know what to type, but the main objective is to make you aware that school starts in two more days (for those of you who don’t live on this island of NZ). First day of school is pointless, a total of 1 hour long. On the topic of school, look at this link Jason sent to me. Very cool. Cool. Yes. Watch it, looks like he won’t make it at the end. What won’t make who? Watch and find out.

MySpace and Others 30th July 2006

I’m so outraged at the amount of stupid people who would even care to use the service MySpace. Makes my little website look normal. It is so typical for teenagers now-a-days to post their lives and stuff onto their little space on the website. Honestly, every has one of these spaces. What makes it worse is the number of Goth’s and Emos which use this service — these spaces and YouTube are infamous for blogs of Emos and Goths and their daily corrupted lives. People shoudl try to be different and have rather divide from the crowd and not have a MySpace. I went on this lame band’s my space (we is ninja) and found from there an infinite number of people from my class/school who had accounts on it. Do people think they’re cool setting up such little open books for people to read? Furthermore they think that they’re so cool that they’re cool. I think people could do something more fun than that. Even porn would be better. Another popular service is Bebo - grrrr hate these silly friendship sites. So lame. Whats worse is lame people trying to hook me up to these services. I assure that at least 80% of you have received at least on email a month notifying that a ‘friend’ has joined this pathetic service and is asking for you to join. You disgust me, you evil hooligans.

A new month is fast approaching also, so a new poll thing will be up soon. Site also needs updating all over.

13 July 2006 13th July 2006

How lame, oh so quickly the holidays are once again gone - although they felt and were actually longer than our previous holiday which was cut back but 4 or so days compared to other schools. Computer still freezes despite doing umpteen things to it - might try reinstalling Windows again. Or maybe i’ll use Linux, but generally that OS is classified as ‘geek-ware’.

Life is unfair, boring, and unfair. No I am not going to suicide, I’ll just sit in a corner and cry all the salts out of my body.

Oh, the other day was going to obtain bthreen@gmail.com, found out it was taken so today I emailed to that guy “Hi there, cool email address you have - Ben” then it like bounces back to me.

I found my pen! 1st June 2006

Woo hoo after 5 days of going to school without my ‘Black’ Bic pen, I have just minutes ago retrived it from a disclosed location. Also been workign hard away at both producing websites and homework — how funny we just had mid-year exams and today I hear external exams are 11 weeks away. Oh the stress.

You guys are flippin useless - like no body voted on my poll — only 12 people did and 4 of the 12 people was myself voting. I expect better you gooks.

Exams over and done with 28th May 2006

Once again the exams have come and gone. Surprisingly enough, the first few days went quicker than rocks falling off a building (at 9.8ms-1, ignoring air resistance). This week went very slow. pretty disappointed with zis time round’s exams, i think i did pretty crappies. Anyway fireworks are going off — soon enough its going to be the real thing - Cambridge Mid-Year exammies.

All Over the Show 1st February 2006

So school has started and it wasn’t as bad as it was going to be (but isn’t that what everyone says?) - but the external exams are very daunting. So much so I am pretty sure I can pee pee in my pants right now. When school started, I received a Counter-Strike Source he obtained from China - totally legit of course - but as good and cheap as it sounded (only $12 USD), installation was a hastle as it was in Chinese lingo and the cd key didn’t work =0. Being a detective on Google and equiped with a Chinese text translating program, I discovered that it was very common that cd-key’ed games (such as Warcraft etc.) had a ‘key code’ produced, inwhich has to be entered in to a website which would then send the legit cd key to your inbox. Unfortunately, they had stopped ‘exchanging’ keys since December 2005 for disclosed reasons meaning I would have to be a patient plum and wait until they start to ‘exchange’ keys.

Bad news first or good news first? I’m afraid you didn’t have a choice - It’s bad news time now. This site has lost it’s same home for the 2nd time - I guess you visitors wouldn’t really care but it will consequently mean that I will have no place to express myself and I will have to find other methods of email myself. Help! Urgent! Server wanted, quick - with php.
