Aug 30th 2007 10 days till college starts

It didn’t last too long, the summer holidays are coming to a end and the back to school signs are back up, yeah that hateful time, or so it was when I was actually at school. This summer has gone fast its been a nice break but at the same time nice to get back and see my mates and be with Amy more (hopefully) . Not a lot has happened since the last post, I have not been down to skeg anymore to get anymore photos either.

Mostly hard at work either at the power station or at home doing the finishing touches on SiteDesignr and getting things sorted, but I’m still not happy with the layout of the portfolio, sometimes I try too hard but that’s how I work, if it’s not right it’s not going live. Anyways! On the 23rd August I and rich met up in Boston for a while, while Terri was doing some exams and stuff.

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1393/1275827576_cea9568f1b_m.jpgWe had a walk and drive about it was a good day then I went and surprised Amy by turning up on her door step and spending an hour with her lol. Ooooh last night I drove down to Stamford to pickup my new bonnet too! I’m really impressed with it.

Well me and Joe went got this bonnet fitted with the help of the guy I bought it off lol, then it rolled on to 10pm and we needed food! Well we put in some details in sat nav and told it to find food. First it said McDonalds… no thanks had enough of that… then Little Chief oh ok cool we will got there then we passed KFC… Ok f**k it that will do.

So we went to KFC I stood there waiting in a queue of 1 person in front for 10 minutes getting a little pissed off and then seeing that all the guys was foreign and wearing hoodies while cooking… urghhhh that’s not very clean is it, so we walked out lol. Went hunting again and see Pizza Hut… sorted.

Got home about 11 shattered though but happy too! That is all that’s really happened since last post lol.

Aug 16th 2007 New site + life updates

Hey all mostly site updates this week. I’ve been so busy with web design work for clients its been hard to fit in a blog post here and there following my previous rant and Microsoft and there block of the the *.info domain I have purchased tomwrote.co.uk and tomwrote.com I will have to rewrite some of the javascript backend so all the domains will work as you will noticed there are problems with the site right now.

So not a great deal going on abit of overtime here and there with a few sundays chucked in. Tuesday I had a drive down with dave to grantham to buy a bonnet as I was told of pug306.net that there was a mint phase 2/3 bonnet there I rant up and they wanted £50 for it so I went down to find it, I did find the car and bonnet but after pushing the lid down only to find it was dented worse than mine.

Then we travelled further to tatershall to have a look arround there bigger place but nothing special :( so still looking for a bonnet *sigh* In my (lack) of spare time i’ve also been developing a home media network called “Median” pronouced Media-EN and it stands for Media Network basically it allows my recent aquired laptop i fixed that college was chucking out but issac kindly said I could have, to control my pc over the network.

Its a simple web GUI that alows full control over what I am playing i’m also currently working on a iTunes version so i can control my music just from the laptop. Hopefully going to see Amy this saturday but as I found out in a txt today shes feeling a little under the weather *sigh* hopefully she will be better soon! I still have no idea when i’m going back to college either but and have my results! 5 passes and 5 merits… thing is I was never given the chance to redo my web dev upto distinction how nice!

People at work keep asking me what i’m gonna do when I finish college I still have no ideabut its nice that some are suggesting ideas now and i am finding it alot easier to talk to them or some at least. There currently having some work done at the power station so theres a few more on site currently so the place can be a little bit more messier then normal.

I guess thats it hmmm video time? I guess so lets see what I got…

if your feeling down try watch this without smiling

Jun 7th 2007 …And i’m back!

Finally found sometime to do some blogging! Its been a busy week and it isn’t showing any signs of slowing down either! Well we will round back to Bank holiday Monday! 28th a May I had Amy round we got on pretty well and she stopped for tea then i took her home… Tuesday was my MOT and it passed first time woo so i was pretty happy with that and for the rest of the week well didnt do alot we had an exam in C&G which I passed so I was happy with that.

I went round Amys on Saturday and met her mum and the rest of the family it was great we had a BBQ :D and it was really nice I enjoyed myself. Sunday I had work later on but we had a BBQ just before I went that was nice. Monday spent some time with amy and well it was just college as normal with my fans sending me photos of things :D

Then suddenly my week was disturbed! The phone line went down! no internet for a day and a half! had BT round and it was the router… well they was wrong it was infact the microfilter which i’ve replaced and once again im back online :) Tomorrow i’m off to South Kirby to pick up some car parts and have a drive about with amy :)

Apr 14th 2007 Testing Testing 1, 2, 3 [RANT]

I think we are back on the air, live and kicking again, yesterday I once again got the Digg Effect woo! and bandwith went sky high! So i guessed it was time to move to a new server and cheaper then what I was paying on my prior web host. I have moved to DreamHost… I did look at my mates hosting but I did the maths and this worked out to be a better deal for my needs… well more than enough.

This is now what I have got!

  • 200gb of webspace with goes up 1GB a week!
  •  2tb - Yes 2 Terrabytes of bandwth
  • Everything else is virtually unlimited.
  • $190.80 for 2yrs BUT click here to drop it to £47.80 for 2yrs!

Compare that to my old host:

  • 500mb of webspace
  • 10gb of bandwith
  • Everything else is unlimited.
  • £30 a year thats £60 for 2yrs!

Hopefully this will be faster and the FTP seems alot quicker  too, Been busy working on my dedicated webdesign site and online portfolio but cant decide on a design yet. Development aint going too bad been putting some content on there and doing that. I’ve kinda missed shelly but i cba with it anymore just fed up of everything really.

Aparently slagging people off when I have’nt ok maybe moaned a little but don’t we all do that? be completely honest don’t you moan about some people you mean no harm but you just need to get it off your chest.  its comming to the point I cba to come to college anymore there always some sh*t and i get the blame for it.

I really don’t wanna do next yrs course because the ways things are i’m lost in life with no real idea what to do anymore. i’m fed up living in this country too my cars too expensive yet I have to keep it because its in dads name I have TW*T wrote on my windows of my car and a d*ck on the back window f*cking childish!

i’m just begining to f*ck my life it isn’t worth it anymore because the way people are with me I AM MISUNDERSTOOD most of the time people take things I say WAY to seriously, where a joke gets turned arround into a nasty comment I HATE IT because I didnt intend it to be like that and it f*cking drives me wild with anger because I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE TWIST SH*T ROUND!

Fine if you don’t like me stay away, don’t bother me and I won’t bother you, i’m seriously f*cked of with this childish bullsh*t its doing my head in because all I wanted to do when I started college was come here f*cking leanr something then p*ss off out of the country forever! This country has f*ck all to offer to the english people apart from benifits from taxpayers money.

Whats the point in working? we are only paying the lazy b*stards that cant get off there arse and get a job… harsh… ok I know myself its hard to get a job BUT AT LEAST F*CKING TRY! ARGGHH. FUCK I HATE MY LIFE.

- Tom…

PS: Might not come back to college!
