This is it

This is the new Michael Jackson song (This is It) and you know it’s not half bad! Very Jackson 5ish, i’m really quite (pleasantly) surprised, it’s much better than i thought it would be. What a damn shame he’s not here to perform it :-( Click read more to play the tune …

RIP Stephen Gately

Well what a shocker. Dead at 33 with no obvious cause. They’re saying he just went to sleep and never woke up. It’s the best way to die but not at that age :-( I wondered if it was drugs related, i guess time will tell. RIP.

Don’t know if you’ve ever come across this site before but it’s very handy for finding songs to either download or embed on your website. www.BeeMP3.com

Oh Jesus it’s cold! Snow, snow and more snow with a sprinkling of frost. Looks nice but fuck me it’s cold!

Family Tree

I’ve been researching my family starting with the 1911 census that is now online. I’ve only managed to get back as far as 1796 so far but that’s not bad for a couple of hours work. Found some unusual names in my family such a Juda, Simeon and Levi, which i thought was a modern name but i guess not. Now then, how to get back further than 1796!?

Story of my life

Andy — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:12:52 +0000

Everything i’ve tried to do computer-wise lately i’ve had this scene from Little Britain popping up in my head. I’ve come to the conclusion that far from technology making life easier it has done the exact opposite! When i think of technology now i think of the words confusing, conflicting, crashing, incompatible, incomplete, bugs, slave to maintaining it, bag of shit in other words.

Still, i couldn’t be without it :)

Mother fuck!

I have spent most of the day on-and-off trying to sort out this bastard gadget for my website. In a nutshell i wanted the ability to be able to blog from my mobile phone, or more specifically, the ability to take a photo and send it straight to my blog because i often forget about my phone pix amongst all the clutter and they get deleted. This way i can send them straight to my blog and not worry about losing them.

But what a nightmare! WordPress has the feature of emailing blogs (from a phone for example) but they haven’t got the pics working so i got a plug-in from elsewhere which didn’t work so needed to be butchered to fit. But now it’s working … for now at least. So now i can blog on the move – yay!

What's your word?

Your word is “peace”
You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of.
Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you.
While you can’t stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life.
You promote harmony and cooperation. You’re always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.
What’s your word?

Aspergers or Geek?

I was reading something earlier that suggested geeks share many character traits with those suffering Asperger syndrome (obsessive attention to detail, social awkwardness, and some difficulty relating to other people). So i took the test and – eek! Try it yourself if you have nerdish tendencies: http://www.piepalace.ca/blog/asperger-test-aq-test
