Dec 17th 2005 There are no more invites!

ALL Windows Live Messenger 8 invites have been given out! to my mates leigh and shaun who I know will actaully use the software not use it for like 5 minutes then rollback to msn 7.5 which most would if they was honest.

My Skype phone come today yay I have not left it alone since first I rang mum at talked for 45minutes and hung up thinking it would be about 30p nope guess what people call spain talk for ages and you have only used 6p :| I should have used this software a longtime ago, damn my stuborness of software :P
Monday I met this girl called shelly, oh man shes so fit I think it was love at first sight! she is friends with my mate david and we just started talking, I told david I fancied her and by tuesday night i'd got her number and started txting her, we met up in college and started talking then hugging and by thursday i was cuddling her lol, oh I really fancy her so bad.

Tonight I was txting her again and I told her I fancied her… good or bad move, I had to jump in the deep end, but then she txt back… she fancied me aswell and on the monday… same as me… so i am going to continue to txt her over the holidays till we come back then meet up and ask her out, i've never felt like this since going out with linzi last year… Wow..

As christmas keeps edging that little bit closer and I am really starting to miss my parents, normally this would be a family thing but its gonna be strange without my mum :( . I am little bit p!ssed off tonight aswell… earlyer Alex come online saying i'd been saying stuff behind his back.. which to be honest I have not, and richard etc would back me up on that.

I'd like to know how and what i've aparently been saying and if something has been said it probably been misunderstood in the wrong context, for example I have aparently dissed Toms website, that is complete and utter bullsh!t and I am not accepting that, I might have chuckled.

I Most certainly did not diss him I think that was possibly took the wrong way which really sucks, tom was not happy. We all have to start somewhere and for any of you who which to look its here I started off using Geocities in 2000 (wow nearly 6 years ago :| ) then moved onto moon fruit, it wasnt until 2001 that I moved onto netfirms, who was the only webhost at that time to give frontpage extentions away for free!

the next blog design Is on its way theres a few bug which has to be killed off and the theme changer will need to be setup, I cant wait to show off the next design for 2006! long live Tom Wrote! hopefully I will beat Novembers hits 27k this month current on the 16th December we are on 11k so we might be lower this month :( damn!

Well thats all folks, cya!

Dec 14th 2005 Windows Live Messenger 8 Today!

Yes! after testing out leaks of pre-beta bulids and other stuff today I got my email from the good old MSN devs :D

Dear MSN Butterfly,
Okay, we're ready for you.

You can now download and start testing the new beta version of MSN® Messenger, which will now be called Windows LiveTM Messenger.

I have to thank Vazz for the invite code thanks alot mate, and I hope to get some bugs reported, when I find them thats the least I can do i guess your alll dying to see pictures of it?… *tumble weed rolls past*… damn well i'll post some anyways :P

Here we have the convo window theres a few noticable new features like file sharing I am very disapointed with the current style of WLM 8 even though I know its currently BETA and the style could totally change. Like all the other MSN 7 / 7.5 BETA's the design has hardly changed when it has been released to the public.

The GUI looks terrible. Thats my honest opinion, if only they made it look like Windows Live Mail then that would be sweet!

And heres the contact list ouch thats bad :S "The Future of MSN Messenger" Sucks. Oh well this next screenshot is disgusting 109Mb of RAM is needed to run WLM 8 thats HIGHIER then photoshop

Why on earth does it needs that much I have no idea!

For more infomation on Windows Live Messenger see this post HERE

on another note:
frankie_uk@msn.com
dr.sieber@hotmail.com
asimmanzur@hotmail.com

In your language:

Stupid n00bs.

Nov 19th 2005 Its that time again!

[Sorry about the double email, subscribers]

Its that time again, i've been very busy with college and that, the normal stuff lol. Finally got my VB assignment in today ok even that went wrong. I forgot it.. and 10 minutes later on the bus, I got a phone saying "hey guess what you have forgotten" >_< damnit! However they handed it in to the libary along with pink slip ect :)

EMA is FINALLY sorted! No you didnt read that wrong, after what 2 and a half months the EMA office has send the last bit of paper to get me £20 a week :) yay!

Have not really done much today or yesterday or all week really im upto date! the only thing I need to worry apart is starting our IVA urgh what a load of crap that is, however it has (and will) be done!

Finally got my car sorted! my dad has given me his Peugeot 306, so now I am going to try like hell to learn how to drive as much as possible! We was doing emergency stops the other night, so i was thrashing it down a straight then breaking like fuck :P sexcellente.

Microsoft emailled me today, telling me my first bug in Office 12 I found the other night has been report and will be fixed in a future bulid wanna see some screenshots? well that comes later because im going the post article so keep watching out for it on your right >>>>

Theres a nice Xbox 360 article to the right which I really need to update! Christmas is edging closer and closer it will be the 19th tomorrow! and you can now see the early christmas shoppers round bostons and the traffic is increasing too!

I am working on my own program now its its a quite useful file too, some credit goes to alex for helping me out with some of the features so I guess i better explain what it does! Well its been bugging me for a while but i save all my college work to my USB pendrive without backing it up… just imagine if something went wrong?

Well this program now sorts out that little worry by running in the background and soon as a usb device is plugged in first it checks for the "USB Key file" (Backup.USB) in the root of the drive, if it finds that it does a full backup, else if not its just displays a messagebox saying USB not detected, very smart ;P its even got its own little icon, hell heres a screenshot for you!

USB.PNG

News just in i am now a drug dealer, people are randomly calling me up saying hey its have your got any :S ooooooooook wtf lol. ok theres your update… still trying to get videos sorted! lol

Cheers

Nov 3rd 2005 Messenger 8 - The death of MSN Messenger

Yes people, you heard it right for those who didnt know you now know, a few days ago it was annouced that the next instant messenger program will be called Windows Live Messenger (8??) and below are a few screenshots of its over bloatedness (what do you expect the product manager is female and they want every feature going :P )

Contact list msn8-2.PNG

As you can see theres still alot of work (chuck it in the bin :P start again) but it uses the new msn protocol 13 so we should see some improvements to the system (logon times ect), so lets have a look at the contact list first.

looks like msn 7.5 (ewww) however you got this glass effect over your DP's which I quite like! you can now colourize your contact list too, MsgPlus! is totally borked in this version, and theres some nice rollover effects too! - No big changes.

The convo window is nothing to piss your pant over either, 200+ buttons for more crap and "fun" two fuck off buttons for searching msn (copied google) search, and one to send… but does anyone even use the send button? what about hitting Enter :P

Final verdict - Nothing to be excited about, And i am ment to be in the msg 8 beta too lol ( MSN Messenger 7 to 7.5 Beta Tester)

Now for a update on life:
———————————————

Drving lesson yesterday wee so fun did some reversin down a road, my linux cds/dvd come yesterday too so I have been trying them out (fedora, mandriva, SUSE10). Dont get me started on my phone thats really annoyed me lol, ok so I have been told I blog too much so I won't be blogging for another 2 days or so, I got college work to do anyways!!

And finally.
