Cross posted by hand, cos I'm a lazy twat.

Actually, I'm too lazy, try my blog instead.

Hopefully last entry in backup blog for a while. ADSL has gone live and I'm just waiting on the router to bounce before the .tk domain can be redirected. Tonight, hopefully...

Quickest login to UKNova in history... :)

Can't wait to get home now. Have photos to upload and shit to download. :)

Ok, for anyone left that does wanna check up; my html blog is here, although I'd go for the much easier RSS2.0 feed. NetNewsWire spoils you... :)

Look, I wasn't joking. I'm moving blog. For the third time this year...

I'm going to use my own software, cos, like, I can - it's mine, and I'm a cunt for that. Fuck, everything on the web is easy. It's not like your coding real software or anything...

Got nearly half of klog coded on the train to and from Brighton today. Nah probs. Just got the form for adding posts and comments and the graphics to do until 0.1 is up and running.

After the complete fucking toss that was Sky Captain, I'm quite glad Hero was bloody amazing. Really really enjoyed it. Fantastic use of colour to ram home context, as well...

I'm surprised :)

Finally got off my lazy arse and got the chipped XBox back onto the network.

Installed and configured the latest CVS binary of XBox Media Center, which is officially lovely. It picks up my rendevous playlists from iTunes, happily plays all media from the Samba shares from the eMac and even checks the weather...

It's a lot nicer than the old version I had previously. Happy as a pig in shit, now. :D

At fucking last. :) I've finished ripping my DVD collection to mp4. Nearly 200 of the fuckers now sitting on my lovely Lacie drive.

Must resist urge to sell originals...

I'm damned if I do face it, I'm damned if I don't.

Do I accept the hole and look into it, or build around and accept the new?

Attempts at both [so far] have fallen flat and I'm left with the observation that I've cut out the dialog because it's only serving one side.

At this time.

Too much, too soon?

I've got a feeling I'm ending up with regrets no matter what I do and I've already chosen the path of self preservation. I'm being selfish and I know it's something that'll haunt me.

Tonight has proven it's all too late. I don't think I actually have a choice. I'm not willing to give much of myself. Too much has gone already... My choices are nothing if not predictable, purely because of that. I normally aspire...

Pathetic.

But then, so much of my involvement always has been.

I've been running two blogs for ages. That's all well and good, but it dawns on me that there's fuck all on the web that I can't code for myself. Cue Klog. My personal blog project.

Yup, like every other cunt, I'm going to roll my own. I know what I want, how the APIs work, it's all a piece of piss. In between some other work, I'm going to code this fucker up for myself, to do what I want and support the apps that I use. Yes, it'll have levels of visibility, yes, it'll have proper RSS and ATOM. It's easy shit...

The world needs exactly one more piece of shit blog. :)

I may even start it tomorrow.

Anyone know if there's an equiv to addslashes() in PHP5 which will flip chars in a stream to their proper XML character entities (ie: & to &) ? Or am I going to have to write my own?

Hahaha, my cousin is filth. She had sex on the pool table at Langtrees. Pocket nomination jokes are 'not' funny, either... :)

And Stu's been bet 30 quid that he can't stay off the pot for 7 days. Stupidly, he can't loose as Steve has custody of all the pot in the house...

Time to leave that littered about as temptation.

Oh, it's pathetic. I've been carried out of the bar, after smuggling two pints of Stella to my room. The whole of reception know who I am. S'fair to say, I won't be staying tomorrow. :)

I'm going home for a wank...

Further to my bottling the purchase of the 1 tera drive, I ended up plumping for the Macally PHR-100AC, 3.5" Firewire enclosure.

I'm quite impressed, nice build quality, and with the repurposed Tivo HD in, it's actually very very quiet indeedy.

I'll be getting another one of those next month.

Anyway, here's 620gig and my eMac, cos I'm that sad :D

I've been trying to work out at what point this should become 'official', cos it's been way too easy so far. But, I've given up smoking. There, said it, everyone can take the piss when I 'fail'.

It's been 4.5 days so far.

Friday was a bit twitchy and I ducked out of the pub to ease into it (not to mention my hangover was so fucking big I couldn't handle it), but since then it's been downhill. I had to clean my room to get rid of the smell, wash a load of clothes and some other basic chores, but I've been drunk, down the pub, all the usual smoking places and I'm not even bothered. In fact, it's actually easier when I'm tipsy... I've also got to the point where I can smell it on other people and it's a little bit rank. :)

Noticing the stupid habits though; I always look for my fags when I leave for lunch, I've spent the last four days convinced I've left something at home cos my pockets feel empty, I nearly bought a packet at the petrol station today (cos I always buy fags with petrol) and when I finished my food shopping I ended up at the tobacco counter (cos I always buy fags when I go food shopping)...

The day is definitely longer when it's not punctuated by ciggies, but otherwise I think I'm over the worst of it. I normally smoke loads when I'm coding, but that's not been an issue, I like the fact I don't need to pause games for a quick puff and my vinyl's not getting covered in quite so much dust.

I thought the pub would be the big test, but that's easy, so the next one is class A's. That'll be very interesting. All in all, it's been surprisingly easy so far. Can't say I feel any different for it, though. I'm still coughing up the dregs of 15 years smoking, for instance, and I'm not too excited about having a sense of smell again. I'm also a bit worried that half the food I eat I won't like when I'm able to taste it. On the upside, I've got 50squid a month extra cash, which covers gym membership at Gunwarf. What a coincidence... :)

Oh, and for the record, I've given up ciggies. I'm still going to smoke cigars when I'm drinking whiskey. Cos that's just right :)
