Mar 29th 2006 Back together again :)

Well I am very suprised at what happened Monday.. Me and shelly got back together after we had a long talk about how we felt and something other stuff. Nothing interesting has really happened apart from that.. Tuesday was boring very boring it was basically a lesson of back to basics of windows.. how to use the start menu… WTF and who to change the wallpaper.. why could'nt it been interesting like… registy hacking, hex editing.. or even the basics of Linux that would have been nice..

Even though I am begins to get to know Linux windows is still (and always will be) my main OS. Today wednesday I have not done anything at all I got up at 10.30am had a drink txt shelly continued to txt shelly and txtd shelly even more.. you get the idea! Paul on my msn told me something interesting and very shocking! A old school mate who won't be named as this blog is very popular (as its come to my attention) and ANYONE could be reading this. Basically he was racing with a mate in the car and was'nt wearing a seat belt and crashed.. he mate passed away in hospis.. he is being done for manslaughter.. thats all I know right now.

It just goes to show you can be here one day and died the next.. life is important.. YES i'm talking to all you EMO's reading this now (Sterotyping) DON'T KILL YOURSELVES! DON'T SELF HARM ITS NOT WORTH IT! If it helps go cry in a corner! Damnit. I've been there done it its not a nice experience! God i'm bored I have nothing to do.. nothing! THis blog will be a YEAR OLD! on April 3rd! expect a update on that day with the usual witty blog post :P

I think thats everything for now.. Oh! yeah I've posted my blog on various blog directories here is one which has been verified here. My blog is fully XHTML Valid too. Ok i'm done! Cheers

*UPDATE*
Basically word is comming in that he didn't die (as the paper says) but loads of people say he did die, so if i'm wrong i'm wrong sorry.

Mar 17th 2006 Oh yeah i’m in!

I seems ages ago when I got into First Diploma IT (Level 2) infact it was 3rd September 05 I was accepted at boston college (see blog post here. But now its that time again and on wednesday I have my first interview for Nation Diploma IT (Level 3), and because I kept my slate clean I should get in with no problems what so ever, Perfect.

Monday was really good, it was shellys day off and mine so we spent the day together :) Tuesday we did some work IVA but we was allowed to go when ever we wanted which was cool! Wednesay (as described above) but I also went to the gym.. I really don' think I should have cuz I could have seen shelly for ages and she was allowed to work in the lib for quite a few lessons. Damn.

Thursday urgh when you think everything is going fine then all of a sudden it collaspses.. ok not that bad… shelly was ok in the morning but in the afternoon geeeez she jus got all mardy, What was I supposed to do she wouldnt even talk to me :( I hugged her and loved her that didnt help anyways I went home… worrying about her.

Friday (today) Come to college semi-mardy shelly lol she went to lesson when shelly come back after lesson she was happy as anything o.O oooook well I really don't understand girls sometimes :P . Tomorrow I am booking my driving test! for as quick as possible.

Battery problems on car fixed. Yes silly me I hate batteries in car now :P First attempt wired it all up left it on.. or did I? no forget to turn it on.. so it drained the battery. Second attempt, bought and new charger wired it up SWITCHED IT ON left it on day and night come back to see a blown fuse the charger and no power in the battery. Third attempt, took charger back bought the ultra Xteme editon of the charger, took battery out of car and left it on charge within one night of charging it was on full! wow stuck it in the car turned the key.. IT STARTS! drove it about abit then parked it in the garage.

Mar 11th 2006 Snow!

Yeah its snowing today and from the weather forcast we will be getting alot of show.. great! I aint really done much today.. finally fitted my new badge on my car so its got a new peugeot logo on it again looks so much better. Although that took along time to fit as the badge has like the locking mechinism bulit into it so I had to take the + off the bat and take it all out to fit the new one, oh well kept me busy :)

I bought a 20gb removable hard drive for 2 reasons college work and music but I decided to experiment what if I could get the head unit in my car to read the hard drive and I did just that :) I first of all formatted the drive in FAT32 then created a folder called music and chucked all my music from my PC onto it.. bit slow starting up but it works!

Friday night I got injured again, this time i slipped on a wooden step in my socks went flying into the fridge handle and fell to the floor. It wasn;t until the grentz got home that they noticed the fridge door was buckled OUCH! and god my side hurt so bad its bruised today! BUT! i've attempted to fix0r it and it closes.. thats the main thing right?

eBay business is still going well buying and selling it working out fine and earning profit.. lots of it! just goes to show that after all these years of eBay running people can still earn money from it! In my latest item I sold was a fog light switch for £2.50 inc £1.50 not bad!

Me and shelly are getting along fine next week is the last week I get to see her everyday :( as she goes back onto placement damn, but i'll see her twice and week and when I get driving I go down and see her etc. I love her so much! and she knows it ;)

All my college work is done now.. apart from odd bits for NCFE but i'll get that done… soon! IVA has gone in for Tim to mark it etc. I hope I get a distinction! same with uses of IT… god I hate that unit. Next week is catch up week and I got monday off.. cool I can spend the day with shelly!

I been going to the gym.. wednesday and friday I did 2hrs each… but the thing is the stuff I do on my own nobody would believe me so I just shut up and bypass the taking the piss part. I can feel and see changes already… woah wheres my stomach going? and my arms are getting stronger! amazing should have started this months ago!

Well I guess thats all I really need to say for now nothing else has happened this week so theres a new update! enjoy. Oh yeah blog is now getting over 3000 hits a day average. Very impressive!

Thanks for reading. Cheers

I didnt get any presents just loads of money to invest into the bank w00t :P So i'll guess i'll get started on the rest of my trip to spain :) Wednesday night we went to the chinese had a really nice meal there with mum, dad and there friends (also her boss) Rentz saved me looooads of tokens to get free stuff so I got this dagger and a globe which I have given to joe :)

Cant remember Thursday but Friday we had a meal at Pacos, bacially thats your local spanish fish and chip plaice (haha get it?) but with a spanish twist.

OMG! so we had a choice of chicken or steak.. steak for me.. we waited for ages for it then it come wooooo….*Pause*…ohhh it wasnt very big :( oh well it tasted really good.

Another interesting twist to friday night was an ex-client who I sorted the computer out (ages ago when I lived out there) was there.. what I mean by ex is that she was a total B!TCH! I had to upgrade there PC to Windows Xp.. fair do's HOWEVER! Everything was going fine and danny, I asked the lady if she had all her usernames and passwords and stuff and she said yes.. perfect. Wrong! I got it all installed asked her for them… wait no I dont have them OH MY GOD! so I told her to contact her ISP for them.. yeah all sorted im happy shes happy.. ok no she aint happy I got home phone call.. great its her one stupid mistake was… turning my phone off god I had alot of trouble with her!

I started work on his PC that night cleared it all out everything took CPU off relaid it down on new themal grease poped it back together then noticed one of the pins on the hard drive had snapped.. god joe why!!

Grentz on the other hand is totally bust.. he needs to buy the a new one :( What else happened sunday… ermm oh yeah went to fit heater switch in car tried to start it up and it wouldnt start.. :| :( :S *MASS PANIC* the battery had gone near enough flat so its had to be charged up and now it works.
