Well BT called me this morning on the landline (I had this redirected to my mobile while it was being fixed lovely move free transfer of calls :) ) I was asleep as I'd had a hard week at work and it's a saturday no need to get up early, they then called me on my mobile to say it had been fixed and I got a lovely person who spoke with an indian accent and who had problems understanding my scottish accent (I can remove the accent if I'm awake enough but at this point I wasn't) so it's offical I'm back online - god I have no life but the online one...
I've not been idle I've been watching DVD's I've not gotten around to watching, redid my flash menu for the site so I can more easily change it and make the whole text thing darker too :) oh and the whole thing as an Editable flash file is 1/2 the size it was before I changed stuff - I started from scratch copying across the static text bits of the thing and I redid all the buttons / menu effects as well this is what saved the space I did them all idvidually instead of as a set so I didn't have 60 "tweens" that all did the same thing but were classed as different because they were linked to other things.. and I got them all label too so it wasn't like it was tween 1,2,52,65 etc they all have proper names so I can do fixes quicker too :)

I'm Back
Hmm I lost my net connection on Saturday and this is the first time I've been able to connect to post (okay this is really saturday but I did get it back Thursday)
So my week so far has been interesting..
Nothing of note happened on Friday..
Saturday My Aunt arrived to stay for a week or so.. We went use the phone but alas there was "nothing" there, no dial tone nothing, so we endured a week with no phone / me with no net as the net and phone share the same cable..
It's not offically working as in BT my phone provider hasn't said the fault is fixed..
Work this week was interesting to say the least, I'm in the middle of a stock check as I'm getting a "sideways" promotion out into a new role of stores / tech support / etc... the etc is quite a bit I'm sure I'll be able to rise to the challange *zzzzzzz* sorry did I fall asleep hmm probably cos I'm tired from rising to the challange it's more work :(...
Oh well It will take me a few days to catch up on everything I've missed I'm sure..

Rich People
Hmm how do you convice someone who appears to have more money than sense that they are WRONG...
Well I have done just that today..
Hmm now take 1 standard router not specially programmed to allow specific ports in to you LAN and then take another similar router that is configured to allow those ports + appears to be a hell of a lot easier to set up but for some reason it don't let us send info back to our HQ from that site lol..
See client has a problem when he's sunnin' himself somewhere in Spain, he wants to able to check up on what's happening at his house via the net, which he can do all the kit is in place and works - proven, works on his widescreen wireless blah blah laptop, proven... Works on a god darn dial-up connection in spain, don't work when he hooks in to his nice BB connection - reason his firewall / router is blocking
But no i can't be, we get him on to our site and prove this is the case, simple he shuts up and don't wanna talk about it no more.. GOD these days are far and few but good - now all Muggings here has to do is erm find the manual for the Router (I have the model & maker) and read it..
Manual found on website, grabbed via DOS based FTP lol gotta love the old ways of doing stuff... posted on to my "webspace" on the other pc so I can retrieve it at work tomorrow just incase boss asks.. (I know he will)

Don't ask me why I just got that feeling... I really should get that stock checksheet made up shouldn't I
Well been busy compiling an electronic version of some paperwork so I can do some charts and stuff on it + I wanna be able to say yeah it's upto date and complete when I close it all out at the end of the month...
Also it gives me the chance to show off again - gotta love VBA / Formlamatic equations in Excel..

Happy / Sad / Why Do I bother getting up somedays
Hmm well give friend her birthday card + some flowers, drove all the way there and back, it's not that far but it takes about 45 minutes each way, visited sister on way back, was still happy enough.... Came home and well :(
Hmm lets see, how can I put this.. Dinner looked, well pass me the bin cos that's where it's going, it was something that was stew, not something I like at all, mother knows this and wondered why I didn't want it... Geesus, I got a look like I don't know what, felt great until that point now I just feel shit.
My Clan noticed this when I went to play couldn't kill for shit, just kept dying and dying and dying and I said I didn't really care...
Oh to be me. No you guys don't wanna be me.. I think I'll just go find a not very nice rock to hide under. I would have said pretty but it would probably be lifted and moved cos it's pretty....

Well had a clan match tonight, which we lost, Not before I'd lost the plot to begin with - I asked if I was playing in the 1st game or not, no-one answer yes or no so I went Fine and bounce myself out of team speak, out of the game program I was using too, Bounce onto msn, got told by clan leader - your in next game, I replied whatever.. Was too pissed off at this point.
Got into the game and erm well tactics seem to have went out window.. We bitched about this and that in TeamSpeak (TS) or the typed it in to the game as you can do that with this game - Team / Crew / Squad / Local /Global chat is all possible in this killfest of a game and that's what it was my stats well erm Sucked, sucked more than normal put it this way, It didn't help that we were in a Joint Ops: Typhoo Rising rather than the normal Joint Ops: Escalation (and Expansion to JO:TR) - good game on a LAN / On-line but not really for single player...
So limited weapons / stuff basically missing half the weapons since they only appear in the JO:E pack etc..
Oh well we got bitched at by Clan Leader in our forum for it, serves us all right he ain't blaming anyone he even tells himself off as it were oh boy zzzztime gotta be up at 5:30am :(

Mother's Day
Hmm well got up, Since it's mother's day I'm cooking. I sometimes cook on a saturday and normally make a stirfry but since we had something different yesterday, we're having it today..
Argh what a disaster :( erm I don't know what it was, maybe it was the turkey was starting to go off a little, maybe it was the black bean sauce (too much / too little) maybe it was what else I added, which is roughly what I normally add but it just didn't taste right - oh well Pizza Time later on eh..
Pizza hmm a House Special - Onion, Chicken, Ham, Peppers, Salami, Pepperoni, sweetcorn, basically also a bit of everything.. I was gonna get mum a small pizza with just ham & pineapple but no, She only wanted a slice of what I was gonna have so thus I got a Medium Pizza, 10" if you must have exact sizes lol, went shopping for stuff I need for work, like milk as it's up a 5:30 and I prefer to have most of that stuff bought so I goes in my backpack which goes with me to work rather than a plastic bag which will end up sitting on the front seat of car rather than in backpack behind driver's seat.. Oh well I've made it this far..

Nephew's Birthday Cont...
Hmm well I had a few things to do today 2 of which I managed to do..
1 was to post a dvd to a friend which is done, will get it back at some point he's only borrowing it, another was to get my dear mother some flowers for mother's day since for some reason it's the 1st Sunday in March rather than like the 3 or 4 which it is normally, see mother's day and mum's birthday tend to be within a week of each other. Got the flowers, went to get some shopping done for myself, all I went in for was to get a packet of crisps ( Sea Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper - Very Nice they are too), see if I could see Diet Coke with Lime and to get some tea, I got all 3 but erm ended up with a few more things and spent £ 13 overall..
My phone goes, it's my dear sister her machine (an old one of mine) is acting up, can I come fix.. of course... I get there and walk in to a mad house (Moogie - like your house is normally, kids everywhere), my nephew has a few friends over someone forgot to mention this on the phone of course... Well thankfully cup of tea is on hand, so go fix machine. There wasn't much wrong just a game wouldn't play - needed a minor kickin', Hmm but other problem is mouse is starting to go and the burner (it's an old x4 Writer , x2 Re-Write) don't wanna play any more or rather the software I gave her don't wanna play no more, me thinks it's the hardware giving up.. oh well new writer time - they ain't that much to buy new...
Give Nephew £ 5 towards something for himself (erm it's simpler) He's saving up to buy another car for his Skeletrix set - an it's not a cheap one, he's got expensive taste you know.. I left, went home and arrived just in time for dinner - hows that for timing eh..)
Give mum her flowers (2 pink roses and a dozen mixed carnations, the roses were closed).. She loved them.. Wished my dad a happy birthday finally, he thanked me for my present..
*Since this date the roses have opened up and look lovely - Gosh*

Dad's Birthday
Yup another day another birthday, never saw him this morning to wish him a happy birthday, got home, he's not there he's in bed already (it's only like 8pm - he's over did it helping someone out)... So this gives me time to get to shop and erm get him a present... Hmm 20 minutes later (well I gotta wait for my pizza to cook) I return with a present a nice bottle of whisky which I know he'll enjoy in a box that I can write "Happy Birthday" on :).. He'll get it when he gets up tomorrow...
Hmm the end of a tiring week for some reason..

Nephew's Birthday
Well today is my nephew's birthday, so how the little "angel" has made it to his 7th birthday.. No party this year, last year was well okay but "grandparents" can be a PITA.. Don't ask... I saw him after work..
I got "Hello Uncle Gordon, where's my present" said in the sweetest way... no card for him either, no cash on me felt *shit*... Give him hugs and stuff has piece of his birthday cake which he kindly offered me (after a little prompting from my sister) Gee it only seems yesterday that I was holding him in my arms and he was falling asleep in them.. Darn it I'm gonna cry.... Oh well I got a stay of execution because I know he got a lap counter from his dad for his birthday it fits on to the current skeletrix track he got for his christmas, he also has a "computer" of sorts, it has it's own mouse and everything - looks good + a few more games that he can play on his mum's pc... He's really good a maths and stuff :)
