Oooh! Sun!

Friday, July 30th, 2004

(Winamp loves this track.)

Jobcentre time. Wish me luck.

I need to get back and out in this weather. I’d forgotten what sun looked like.

Nearly party time! After today I’m going to relax in this heat for a week. Try and get some sunburn protection in place before I leave. And cut down on the lager (by “cut down” I mean “cut out altogether” to try and rid myself of the gut for a bit.

I’ve decided that w.bloggar isn’t actually that bad. Could still do with being Free.

Redundant.

Thursday, July 29th, 2004
np: Marilyn Manson – Seizure of Power

Fuck. Shit. Bollocks.

That’s putting it mildly. You get what you wish for, and that’s what I get for wishing it.

On top of that, no redundancy insurance on either the lappy or my loan, and the bank isn’t letting me change my mind now. The utter shits.

So, good news:

1. I no longer have to restrict my job- or flat-hunting to places which leave me within an hour of the middle of nowhere. This is great.

2. I’ve got a paycheque coming in real soon now.

3. Magaluf next week. I’m going back into town to buy bleach. Pray that the ends of my hair don’t rot off: if they don’t it should look okay, and in a fortnight I will be the Sexy Euro Boy again.

4. I thought these jeans had shrunk. Wearing them in the rain has sorted them. w00t.

Anyway, yeah. I really hope my hair works. I could seriously do with some immediate fillyification.

w.bloggar’s annoying me, as all proprietary software does. Where are the alternatives?

The wonders of sleep

Sunday, July 25th, 2004

Or the lack thereof.

Went to Glasgow yesterday; got drunk with Readwin on a pub crawl; went back to Edinburgh; slept on a step.

Gah.

Now at Conrad’s, showing off Firefox and watching F1. wysiwyg still rocks hard.

Note to self. Nightlies are more trouble than they’re worth.

I’m probably going to collape shortly

np: Cay – Resurrexit

Curry on the hob, beerishness imminent, and mym mummy just spent one whole pound on a brand-new Model M. I have my own keyboard again. I fucking love these things.

WYSIWYG! Bitchin’!

Saturday, July 17th, 2004

Two things:

  1. No Tahoma font. Waaah!
  2. Bitchin’!

No, actually, three (ctrl-I) things:

  1. No Tahoma font. Waaah!
  2. Bitchin’!
  3. Double-bitchin’!

WYSIWYG editing on Firefox on Linux. The world is a better place. Next stop, Hotmail.
