About Me - GAD123

My photo
Belfast, N.I., United Kingdom
I first got on the net over 15 (2009) years ago and have had my own site for at least 7 (2009) of those years (a place where I could dump the misery of my everyday life!), you can see my fist efforts @ www.freewebs.com/gad123 and my current blog @ www.gad123.co.uk . I am a kind person, smart, (I know that is subjective) and witty, the dry, sarcastic type! I am told that I am easy to talk to and am very laid back. I enjoy playing poker, listening to any music, watching movies & American TV shows, love going to the pub, dancing on a Saturday night and am a bit of a nerd as I own a Wii, PS3 and built my own PC! I am a creature of routine, love the night time when all the exciting things happen, am a bit of an insomniac and love getting trashed at the weekends! If you want, you can catch me on MSN @ graham@gad123.co.uk! Take care and enjoy you browse around this GAD123 Page!

Problems, Problems, Problems...

I bought a WiFi Max to connect my PSP to the net and use their software via the PSP browser to download files direct to my PSP wirelessly! Unfortunately, all though, I thought it was a cheap and simple solution, it's not! Lots of people have had the same problems obtaining an IP address (that I have still to achieve) but Windows Firewall was the main stumbling block for me, before I even got that far. I could not even turn it on to start Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and after 12 hours of fixes, resetting Winsock, editing the registry and messing with services I finally uninstalled SP2 and it worked. Tho upon reinstalling SP2 the Windows Firewall was again inactive. After wasting more time I have now got Windows Firewall up and running (tho I am not using it as my firewall you understand, it was just to get ICS started), with ICS but now I can't get my PSP to obtain an IP address without timing out. I should have just bought a router or something but I will keep you all posted if I find the definitive solution!

Apart from that I did manage to sort out some other small issues along the way with my PC, delving so deep you find solutions to problems that before required a work around!

I installed Poker Stars over the weekend for my online poker sessions but I don't really like it, not because I lost but the software seems to run a little slowly. I do like the addition of the different themes but that's about it! I also bought GTA for the PSP, only played it for a short while but it's very good to get lost in, a nice escape!

I have a few photo's from the camping trip a couple of weeks ago which I will upload soon. We are going away again for the bank holiday, beside a lake this time, so lets hope I don't get too trashed and fall in, lol! I have been buying lots of camping gear this time, now I know what I need, so I expect it to be a very pleasant experience!

Work is getting busy, I have plenty to do in my social life, little sleep and dealing with that bloody WiFi dongle all make for me being not the happiest of people but hey, that's life, that's what all the people say!

Until tomorrow my friends, because I know I have neglected you all, have a good day!

Bloody MySpace is down again, how can this be, does anyone care and can we really moan about it, it's free of charge after all!

How good is the Chris Moyles / Silly Allen rip off - parody - of Smile by Lily Allen called Piles?! The best one he has done in a while, with great lyrics and pace!

They don’t call it the 'World Series' for nuthin! On 28th July, the most coveted of all poker tournaments began, the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event! I wish all the best to the amateurs, celebrities and professionals alike who compete for a share of a projected $80 million prize pool and the much sought after gold bracelet.
