Mother's Day
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...
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
Hmm the end of a tiring week for some reason..
Thursday, March 03, 2005
Nephew's Birthday
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 :)

Hmm that was nice
Well what do you expect, bed nice & warm, me nice and warm, room warm enough, etc...
Got up, watched "Man on Fire" good film darn good, could have redone the ending (won't say what it is so as not to spoil it) - Hmm it what you get when you hire an ex-CIA / FBI / you name it Spec Ops Kill machine to be a bodyguard...
Played a few more games with my clanmates, we all decided to have fun and changed our names so we'd still get the exp. points but no-one would realise we were all a squad.. That was fun then, we decided to do a load of Co-op maps, that was even more fun... boosted my stats on our own server no end...
Anyone need a Medic?
Well I'm gonna get going as it's erm "Early" sunday morning... Not gonna say how early..
Friday, February 25, 2005

I'm Optomistic
Anyways, seen X appologied profusly for acting like as she put it "a 5 yr old" well I kinda did, just hoping the card (told her how I feel I hope) and the single red rose (which was in way on an appology) work and that she finally knows how I feel about her, just hope it's not too late... I'm optomistic which can possibly only mean one thing, it's about to got a bit pete tong *see earlier entry for what this means* and then go downhill from there.

God Damn it Ctnd
How did someone get X's number, well apparently X send him a Text message
how did someone get mine, I think i sent him a ringtone from my phone.
Also how did he know it was from me: said X told him...
Inquired with X: no text sent & didn't tell him that it was me so don't know
gonna get him now thought.. War hath been declared...
Wednesday, February 09, 2005
God Damn it
Darn it mission impossible now I think
why, well erm I'll post exactly what I got sent (minus any names)
---- Begin Text Message ----
Thanks for the text. I hear your upset because X dose not fancy you as she would love me to service her all night long and not the 2 mins you would last........
----- End Text Message -----
I'm fecking mad
Reason: Well Twat boy here sent X a txt message about what she's like when she's had a few drinks. 1) How the **** did he get her number I'm the only 1 in the company apart from her that has it and neither of us have given it out
2) I replied earlier on her phone saying: Thats rich coming from the male equivalent of a slapper (which is what he is can't keep it still).. He's young and thinks he's gods gift and how did he figure it was me that sent it - nothing else was sent / said on phone about this...
I'll get him for this, now I don't know if I can say what I need to say and know she knows I mean it and ain't just saying it cos of this...
BASTARD!

Saturdays
12 hours of complete bordom well not quite I did find things to do, keeping an eye on all the sites, moving the cameras, making note of where the mobile patrol was keeping things up today in various places, photocopying stuff , drinking tea I needed it just a bit...
It was a fun enough day got it over and done with.
I then get home, put something on to eat, attempt to eat it and fail - darn I hate it when I feel hungry yet don't feel like eating what I've cooked dispite the fact it was lovely BBQ pork ribs :) I had half of them - not bad really...
Then I though I just have a few drinks while I catch up on stuff and play with my new clan members in Joint Operations - it's a great game mainly an online game but you can play it over a Lan - it's a must to have more than just you otherwise you tend to die a lot and I mean a LOT..
http://www.762sq.com/ < my Clan website :) they are good - also while not gaming I have my computer crunch numbers for my other clan / team as it were
http://www.free-dc.org/ < my Distributed Computing (DC) team :) I do the D2oL project - look up the forums and you'll see what I mean..

Fridays...
I had an early start today after finishing late last night not a good combo...
Oh well let see what today brings..
What did it bring:
I did manage to get down to the site I was on, on wednesday and I ended up swapping back the router i had swapped out on wednesday so we could get connected to the remote site again. I need to find the manual and print out parts of it here at home so I can study it, looks simple but then again when is anything "simple"
I then went to the bosses house because he said he was having a problem with his broadband connection..
Thank god I updated a page on my site so it has links to adaware, spybot SnD and a geek website forum How to guide on removing spyware etc.
I got spybot & adaware, attempted to get rid of a "popup type" stopper - the uninstall had to be downloaded from it's website (not a good start) + bosses doesn't rememeber installing it.. I got adaware installed and updated, ran it, attempted to run spybot SnD at the same time to protect the system it Crashed out - a good indicator I was gonna hit problems
I did Adaware found 370 Critical level objects - I stopped it at this cleaned them up and the restarted it as it was getting late and I needed to get back to the office to pick up my car and go home.. I e-mailed the boss a step by step guide on how to get firefox browser - how to install the adblock for it and how to import the filter txt file i had sent. Also said any problems call me, he was last seen heading into cyberspace with a baseball bat to go swipe at things..
Thursday, February 03, 2005
What a waste of a day...
*yawn*... Well i thought I was going to be going and finishing off what I'd started yesterday as I hadn't had enough time to complete what I needed to do, routers are not simple things... I know the manual for the router I'm using exists and it's looks a good one but I wasn't going to print out all 148 pages of it - adobe pdf's are good when you got adobe installed on the machine, the machine doesn't have internet access so no way of getting it on. I then found it on the laptop I'd been using to access the router on the place I was at yesterday.. darn it oh well that's how I know how many pages it is..
Well I didn't get anywhere today as I really feel for my boss on days like this,
one of the drivers we have managed to put the one of our vans into a lamppost (real cleaver) he's fine but van has huge dent in it, we did have 3 vans at HQ now we have one, I think I said why the other wasn't there (see previous posts) now we are down to the one, darn it.
Best thing of it was the van this particular bunch of drivers drive had been swapped over and was up here to get fixed and it never got swapped back and the van they dented was in fact one for up here so the alarm fitter would always have a van kitted out how he needed it..
Back to square one.. hmm yawn and to top it off I'm working early tomorrow and working on saturday too (all day!)

Brain = Frazzled...
who ever said routers are easy to configure was lying.. do you think I could get something to work from behind the router firewall - no... darn it fecking thing :|
changed router and instantly got what I had been looking for... only thing is didn't reconfigure it to allow me into the network from the outside - and I think i got to figure out if I can multi-ip the thing i think i can but can't find the freaking manual for it... oh well time to read and read and read google pages.....

Personality Quiz
Results:
Wackiness: 52/100
Rationality: 56/100
Constructiveness: 76/100
Leadership: 50/100
You are a SRCF--Sober Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you a White House staffer.
You are a tremendous asset to any employer, cool under pressure, productive, and a great communicator. You feel the need to right wrongs, take up slack, mediate disputes and keep the peace. This comes from a secret fear that business can't go on without you--or worse, that it can.
If you have a weakness, it is your inability to say "no." While your peers respect you, they find it difficult to resist taking advantage of your positive attitude and eagerness to take on work. You depend on a good manager to keep you from sinking under the weight and burning out.
Of the 85140 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 7.7 % are this type.
Nice Eh

what has you ask, my propects in the love stakes, heard a rumor that the person I think im falling in love with (why think - cos i don't honestly know head is a bit out of it - hmm must be love eh) was going out with her girlfriends to pick up a date last friday.. Should have known better, gee I know her too well, seen right through that one in about oh 1 second flat..
So got into work today at 7am (Argh too early to even think about work)

It was snow joke today
I said to the garage i bought if from that this was happening on saturday, guy who sold it to me, very nice guy btw, told me to try the spare key in the lock.
Hmm tried that this morning, No Joy or rather joy after a while (or i got lucky).
Got into car, started it up, turned on the rear heater and the internal heater (set to full heat, on the windscreen and full blast with the fan..), i then set about clearing the snow off the car using my little windscreen clearer I have
hmm snow deeper than the depth of the clearer (it's a mini window squeegy type thing). hands got cold but i cleared it quick enough only took me 10 minutes to clear it off, clean it off the lights clear it off the sides of the car, the boot, the bonnet (as i didn't want snow to fly up off the bonnet on to the windscreen that is SO annoying). I made it to work just in time to start (well just about I was later in that I normally im but still early - so made my normal cup of tea to warm up and got talking to the boss for 5 minutes, go into the bit i work in and got asked "what time do ya call this" I went ophs erm "10 o'clock :P" turns out my colleague who's meant to start at 7am didn't get in till 8 due to traffic he though the road he took would be clear - it was just not some of the roads / bridges it leads to, basically knock on effect in action - I went my normal route and had no problem apart from having go slower than normal.
Oh what fun, it's mainly gone now but they say it's gonna be -2C overnight (ack! ice anyone - not me thanks)

Mission Aborted - Gone for a spliff
(Nope just gone to the dentist actually)
Darn it, all set to go to pictures to see national treasure with my mate and she sends me a text message late last night saying she can't, which I don't mind at all..
Turns out she forgot she had a dental appointment - a minor one she hoped but it might be major and didn't want to go as she would be in pain once the anastetic wore off.. I go okay "think on spot at work"
!!IDEA!! Invite self over - take a few DVD's and make like a night at the movies kinda thing but maybe with some wine.. No go, turns out she sometimes she'll get a migrane after dental work and all she wants to do is hide under the duvet away from the light - good idea.. Oh well another time I guess eh..
Thursday, January 13, 2005
To The Movies
going to see "National Treasure" well it was that or Lemony Snicket's A series of Misadventures (or what ever it's full title is)
hmm now where did i put those "brave" pills

Families who'd have 'em
I still live with my parents (hey it's cheaper than trying to attempt to afford a place of my own) and have to put up with them midering on about stuff without actually doing anything about it (normally when drunk)
which brings me neatly to the point.. stubborn as a mule are my parents so am i in a way as are my 2 sisters..
I'm pig in the middle of it all even if i don't wanna i hear both sides of the story even if i don't wanna... I get info when I'm just literally in the door (i mean Im just in the door, my coat is just off and my backpack from work has just been put down and I get what's happened that day in the face)
well when I go see my nephew (since I'm allowed to see him and my parents ain't - they let me go cos they wanna know what's going on basically)
I get the other side and I know it's like hitting my head of a brick wall getting my sister to talk to our mother (hmm she took a year to speak the last time and that was over something far less serious - so if anyone is holding their breath you'll expire 1st)
Thank god I can hide neatly in the attic, beside my pc's where mother won't go as she had a nasty fright (and so did I) when the last ladder collapsed on her (oh and she's also put her foot through the plasterboard when she was up once..
I got the fright cos I was holding it and it slipped - hmm 2 - 3 inch shelf (okay it was chipboard but still strong) snapped in 2 when it happened, mother was painting around the hatch to the attic at the time.. hmm I was about 10 at the time so a long time ago..
If i think of anything else I'll add it..
or maybe I'll just move my diary to somewhere nicer lol - I wanna doddle board lol

Feelings, all my life is feelings....
Do I write a letter to someone explaining how i feel about them and be made a fool of maybe due to the minor fact that sometimes they let slip things i've told, okay maybe not what i wrote maybe I hope.
or do i not, do I hide my feelings once more, like i'm doing now - I don't know what a moral dilemma...
Do I tell her that i'm the shoulder she can cry on, the shelter in the storm, the tower of strength she can draw on.. or do i not..

Crash, Bang, Ouch!
Had the idea of taking it down
Me - boss this board is off no use here can I take it down?
Boss - sure, no point in it being up there if it's not being used...
(or words to that effect)
Me - Ok..
Took all the screws out bar one, yup it was the last one that sunk me, oh that and a minor problem with a barrier being "UP" that I went to take down... Brain in "neutral" for sure...
you can imagine what happened next...
the screw holding it to the wall was only just slackened... it moved sideways and down on this...
nothing to worry you thing nothing in the way I've been sensible and cleared it all away - wrong "Blonde" moment.. didn't move Computer monitor out the way 1st and you guessed it , it went for a flying lesson straight to the floor. Now it don't work and makes noises that it shouldn't oh well have to figure out how to replace it temporaryly.. darn my shoulder hurts cos I got the board on the shoulder as I had to lever it out ..
Darn it call me BLONDE for sure..
had to laugh like either that or cry - oh well it wasn't one of the companies monitors anyway it was someone elses and they ain't got no spares oh well..

Roadworks
Took me 40 minutes to go something like 3 miles or something like that.
Didn't know there was roadworks on the road did I - thought I'll take the next slip road off but no that's the one they were working on :| God Darn It oh well after that of course road cleared was able to get up some speed - journey that normally takes 15 minutes took 50 was not best pleased shall we say.

Re: Website
not really but the 1 page that isn't won't ever be unless do a minor re-write of it and that's gonna happen anyway as I'm tweaking that page and removing the code that is causing the fault to another page and doing the same thing in a different way. I'm toying with merging the entire sidebar + the "clock" - which is causing the problem because of the way I coded it - don't ask HTML complience is a royal pain in the rear but useful if people see it and say well I wonder if he can help me :D
so if you wanna go and visit this site and see (oh and feel free to leave comments private / public it don't matter)
http://www.yarrowzoo.freeserve.co.uk
updates coming soon - it's all there just some pages need refreshing they are a bit stale lol (go on say it why didn't I update them when I was getting them complient - because I don't know what to add / tweak yet lol)

Waste of Space
Thankful he was out the office doing some "work", i put it in quotes cos that's what it was - meant to go to one place and fix something but it needed something arranged and he didn't check to see if this had been done.
thankfully however he managed to go some place else and fix something else on the list of things we got to fix 1 down so many to go...
To make matters worse we had a Work Inspection to allow us to continue to say was are approved by blah, we past thank god...
Roll on Friday

Re: A random entry
Knew I'd be back as "the muppet" forgot to pick up the network switch from IT (and the RJ45 crimp tool + crimps just incase I'd mucked up one of the connectors), install it, move the wifi box from downstairs, test that it all worked correctly and tidy it up. I know for a fact he hates working with RJ45 connector. So i went down to discover that he was trying to get a Digibox (Digital TV down the co-ax kinda new in the UK) to stay tuned in and not have any picture loss / breakup / drop out and the dude who was helping him snapped the main TV ariel so a 10 minute job became 2hrs as my mate who was driving had to go get a new ariel so ya can image what I was like, got the whole thing tested as best as I could - plugged in the wifi unit and saw there was a connection to the socket it was going to, tested the other it failed - darn it if one of the pairs hadn't flipped around :-S oh well fixed that and it worked nicely - got the laptop with wifi built in to it and instant connect and a perfect connection.. Saved the day, then i had to get back to work asap as someone was covering why me and my colleague (we share the shift between us see previous entries for pattern) and thus I wanted to let them go home..
What a day - got the TV tuned perfectly (God Im a genius ta boot) :P

A random entry
well not so random..
Got to love being able to get out the office and do some "field" work..
well heck all i had to do was pick up a couple of RJ45 couplers and put on 4 or 5 RJ45 connectors and wire up a couple of network points - cable had been run
dead simple - couldn't test it cos didn't have a 10/100 Switch as someone forgot to mention the small fact when I was going for the couplers otherwise I'd have gotten a nice 5 port one at the same time... oh well no doubt I'll be back to test it next week.. should be fun Cat 5 is such fun to work with (more fun then who I was working beside - *mutters something about a muppet*

Parents :|
They've been getting funny calls - withheld numbers since thursday and they have got it into their heads that it's my sister (who they ain't speaking to - don't ask ya don't wanna know) or her boyfriend making the calls
I know for a fact that it's not but they still think it is, well I told them straight that it's not and that I'll fix the phone so no-one can call without us knowing who is callin'....
Time to call BT I guess

Game Talk : Joint Operations
updated it as requested..
read what the update did and went :| I normally play a sniper role in the game
Snipers have been to put it bluntly Castrated :-& Scope should have a Zoom, it's gone, fixed times Scope now, my fav weapon the L115A has had a reduction in the scope zoom for x16 to x12 :| a few other bugs as well - hmm but heck there is enough to fill a WHOLE forum - well a Novaworld forum anyway - I'm not the only one slighty / majorly / now where did I put my "gun" peeved off with Nova Logic for doing this change..
It also did crazy stuff - now I had to uninstall it an reinstall it, I updated to the previous patch since I had that and it works WAY better..Can't get on to 99% of games online with it because I REFUSE to update again..

A Bad Day / Good Day
I had decided that maybe I should upgrade my graphics card but was only thinking about it until I got told, so I was to the Computer shop for some Retail Therapy - My Style.
Got a Nice New Graphics Card that runs like twice as fast as my old one, has 4x the video memory on it and what can I say runs sweeet as a nut..
oh boy tried it out on a game I normally have to have the fx down on, turned EVERYTHING to do with FX on in the game and I mean them all, played smooth and it was like Huh is this the same game... I could actually make stuff out clearer and from further away it was like OMG...
Got a few more games as well so gonna have fun playing them

Car Update...
nice almost new Vauxhall Corsa, bit pricey, a not bad Puegot 206 and a nice Silver Ford Ka (I know it's not to everyone's taste but I like).. £3,995 much newer than my old car so me happy, have said I'll think about it..
Saturday, October 09, 2004
My Car....
it fails :| BADLY, so badly it's not worth fixing, would cost me as much to fix as the car is worth, infact the 6 CD changer I got in the car is worth more than the car itself...
I liked tha car :( Now I'm gonna have to go hunting and find out how much the car is gonna cost me and how much the insurance for it is gonna cost
and to top it all I ordered some flooring so I can move all my PC's into the attic this morning... oh well it's only money.

Lifeless
All my friends are far enough away that it's difficult to organise a night out with them. Not that i go clubbing, etc, not my kinda thing at all..
Maybe that's why I lost the one thing i truly cared about...
Mind you I blow that one totally all on my own..
I don't think I will ever LOVE again, I don't know anything anymore.
I've even though of deleting my self.. I thought about all the ways I can but it take bravery to do that kind of thing and I'm not that brave, well I am but only in my own personal "space"
So thus I have no life, all i can do is move one foot in front of the other
Every day it's a case of plodding onward one step at a time.
