That Festival Friday Feeling...

Hey y'all. I still have not got the WiFi Max sorted but I am working on it! Poker was cancelled last night so hoping for a Fri home game or playing in one of the Fortune Rooms £30 satellites of which the winner gets a £300 entry in to a bigger 90 person freeze out tournament with a pot of 20k! If not I will be staying in on Friday and getting my fix online! Suppose I will watch the BB final too! *sigh*

Got my hair cut last night, then done a bit of cleaning before watching that bloody show Sugar Rush, I don't even like it but end up watching it every week *sigh* then I hit the sack!

Other than that I don't have too much to say. The news is all about the terrorist threats, which I have spent all my life hearing on the news every day so I tend to switch off! Work is work and I am looking forward to hitting the pub on Saturday evening!

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.

Lost Perversions in Cars...

Here we go again, I post anything to do with sex, in this case the Imogen tape that has surfaced and I get a stack of hits and e mails. You are all perverts and I guess that makes me one too! I suppose this time I could forgive you all as it is just an extension of Big brother and the voyeuristic streak in all of us, though... It's funny that the internet has become so many peoples porn kick and equally amusing that only a few years ago that cinema was the only outlet and source of such things! I have posted before about what all this could be doing to society and time will, I assume, tell.

It's Tuesday, my car is at the garage, getting serviced - I will report back tomorrow how that went but I expect then to try and rip me off - tyres, breaks, etc. That's £300+ notes dead but at least it is out of the way for another year!

It's not often that I go begging... As anyone who is on MySpace will know, it's mad the lengths that people will goto, to get attention, asking for comments on pics, etc all the time, it's dam right annoying and I delete serial bulletin posters! Today is different though, today it would be nice, if you do come here regularly, to leave a comment of some sort. With stat's I know that there are the lerkers who keep coming back for more but I don't know who you are, if you have your own blog, nothing. So make me happy and make your experience that little bit better by saying "Hello, I read your blog"! Work, work, work *sigh* I will not discuss it here but understand that it's a fairly major deal for me at the mo, consuming my daily life, thoughts and generally weighing me down. Lets all hope that the resolution I want, is the conclusion I get!

Seen the final Lost of season 2 last night, as usual not much information given in the way of simple answers but thoroughly enjoyable none the less. Have more questions and will be hooked on season 3 I guess! Well that's you lot today folks, have a lovely day, I am off to continue with some research!

Hot Birthday Buyouts...

This weather is sickening, I know I am miserable but I hate the sun and the heat! Have my MOT, Amy's 21st birthday (who I have not bought a present for as of yet, sorry Bunny) and the whole work thing is coming to a head, arrrrggghhh! I am just looking forward to chilling out tonight and then hopefully Dimples will facilitate some very welcome fun on Saturday! What a week! Have a good one guys!

Big Brother and Miss Wales Imogen Thomas Sex Tape...

So a video of Imogen Thomas of Big Brother UK fame has emerged *sigh*

Lost in the Sky...

Over the weekend I tried to set up SKY's broadband movie download service, what a shambles! First you need Windows Media Player 10, I have 11! So rolled it back and then had problems with the DRM (digital rights management) folder! Still can't get it to work, have tried all the fixes and to top it off now I am having problems playing DVD's! I also read this today, sort out your current sh*t first SKY, that's my advice! All very frustrating. Anyway staying with the movie theme do you all know you can watch the first 24 minutes of A Scanner Darkly online, free? Well you can, just by clicking here. It looks like a cool flick, totally me, through and through!

Lost was amazing last night, the last eps is next Monday and I want it to arrive NOW, hmmm on second thoughts I don't as then it's finished until season 3! Must say it's set the finale up perfectly. Staying with TV, I have no interest in Love Island but the arrival or Steve-O is sure to stir things up so if anyone watches, keep me posted on his sananagans!

I am so tired today, trying to turn my life around after sleeping all day and staying up all night is tough. So sorry if it's a bit rambley today. Hating this weather too, hate the summer anyway but this heat and sun is taking the p*ss. I can't understand why you lot are complaining tho, you prayed for a good summer!! 1 last thing, I am going to try and free up some time to look at secondlife.com, with MySpace now being more popular than Google and Yahoo, big companies and their agencies are struggling to understand the implications of social media mixed with online entertainment. A part from that I hear people are making a good living selling virtual flowers there!

Guess Who Is Back...

Hey folks, ya miss me? Nah thought not! I had a lovely holiday, well it was more like an extended weekend, full of drink, merriment and going to bed at the same time I got up this morning! Now it's back to the old grind stone, trying to eek out a living from within these office walls and for what, a fistful of dollars to purchase things in an attempt to lift my mood and forget about working in this box. A circle, not quite vicious, maybe more of a soulless circle. Yes, before you say anything I am down but remember I have been off for a week and it's Monday! *sigh* Normal service will resume tomorrow!

Free Swimming on USA Day...

I had a fantastic weekend, drinking, eating lovely food, the little break in the country, walking the Ulster Way, playing Crazy Golf, buying a new fish (called him Kanya), watching the football (Why is Rooney not getting more stick for being sent off and reacting like a twat?!), watching the F1 race (go on Shu) and generally having fun. You can check out some pics here, as I finally updated my MoBlog!

SKY TV called me yesterday - they always do at this time of the year as there is no football fixtures - offering me the movies and sports, the whole deal for an extra £10 a month for 3 months. Sounds great and every year I take it but it's only after that I realise, I never watch sports, I have seen all the movies and the ones I have not see I never find the time to watch! Well done SKY, you got me again!

I watched a great program on channel 4 last night, I can't understand why it was given a late night slot when it's target audience is probably teenagers and kids, it was also very entertaining, interesting and deserved a better time.

Channel 4 produced a program about this before, that one was shown maybe 3 years ago and I had heard of it before that. You may never have known it existed but I bet you have tried it! It's called Parkour or free running, that is, moving through the urban jungle your own unique way, fluid, like water if you will. It's all very spiritual but at base level it's jumping roof to roof, fence to fence, pillar to post by some very fit, skilled men (weirdly no women featured in the shows, well possibly 1 or 2, maybe their boobs get in the way) with huge balls! The BBC have a great page about it, with pics, video and history, click here to have a look!

To finish off today it's STAT WHORE TIME again:

January 2006 - 4985
February 2006 - 5398
March 2006 - 11100
April 2006 - 12965
May 2006 - 14486
June - 14283
