Gah... 'tis too hot... It's gotta be about 70-75 degrees. I'm melting here!
And it's supposed to be hotter tomorrow, and hotter still on Friday, when it should all end in a nice big thunderstorm :)
But until then... Goodbye...

Now I'm really pissed off... I tripped and dropped my camera, and now the zoom lense it stuck out, and it won't do anything.
I'm so angry with myself that I've already done/said a couple of things I shouldn't have or didn't really mean.
I dunno what I'll do if it can't be fixed...

Heh, I just learned that the Eurovision Song Contest just finished, with the UK ending with ZERO points for the first time in the contest's history. Haha! Load a crap programme...
Also, I got a nice deep cut on the back of my left hand, after a record breaking 16 whole shifts of not cutting myself at work! lol, it was on one of those huge wheelie bins we have in the yard.
Also tonight - classic McD moment:
This woman came through the Drive Thru, and ordered a Big Mac and large fries. She had her own drink with her - a can of Slim Fast! Heehee

I'm really posting this out of boredom...
Last Night's Wierd Dreams
Okay, in the first one, I was leading a group of Rebels to oppose some evil corporation, probably Microsoft. The group was mainly made up of people I know online, and people I used to know at school.
Later it turned into a party, and we literaly brought the house down. Then some big guys came and started throwing Star Wars related objects around. 'tis Occo's fault for that topic on GBnet. I woke up when someone threw ME.
Next, it was something to do with the Matrix to start with, but it was so confusing that I won't even try to explain, later my sister was going to kill herself by jumping into a large crater filled with lava. I was trying to get her to stop by promising to take her shopping. But she jumped anyway, but stopped in midair, then climped out and explained to me that her foot stopped her, because it had told her that it wouldn't let her fail her exams.
Damn, my head is messed up... lol.

Been watching a film - "The Final Countdown" was pretty good, dunno when it was made, sometime mid 70's I'd say...
This US Navy aircraft carrier was approaching Pearl Harbour, when it got trapped in some kind of storm, which transported them back to 1941, except they didn't know they had gane back in time, because they had lost communication with the everywhere, and they had to send planes up to see what was going on. Eventually they came across a pair of Japanese fighters, and got some aerial views of Pearl Habour. Let's just say they were a little confused to begin with. They decided not to change the events of Pearl Harbour, as the storm leading back to their time opened up again.
And in true Hollywood style, they left a man behind, who was waiting for them when they finally got back to the future. lol.

Damn it's been so busy at work today... I am totally exhausted.
I dunno why it has been so busy, all I know is that there was a queue out the dorr almost all day, I started at 7.15am and didn't get my break until 1pm, which is probably illegal, but I don't really give a fuck right now. Too damn tired to be bothered about it.
Even when I left at 4, the sad bastards where still piling in through the Drive Thru, ordering their crappy meals with extra crap to go with the crap they just got... It's days like these when you which you had phoned in sick, or you feel like 'accidently' plunging your hand in to a 182 oC vat of cooking oil, just so you don't have to work.
I'm gonna get changed... And maybe go to sleep. Although most likely I'll end up stuck on GBnet or playing some game...

Oh yeah... Classic moment here:
I was playing "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" earlier, and the enemy saw me, so I ran into a locker room and hid in the locker farthest from the door.
The search team came in and started opening the lockers - I was thinking "Uhoh" by this time, and they got closer and closer...
Eventually they opened my locker's door, and at the exact same moment someone walked through the door, and they turned to see who it was, so I quickly shut the locker door again, before he could see me - and then the all clear signal went, and they walked back to their positions!
It was hilarious at the time, lol.

Well, I finally did that security upgrade for the GBnet forums, but didn't realise how much of my modifications it would overwrite... So needless to say, a lot of it is messed up. As for v4, I am so sick of looking at the damn thing that I don't even want to carry on with it.
I did come up with a good design for v5, but that design needs phpBB 2.2 to be released first, and that's months away yet.
Was trying to fix some of the forum stuff yesterday, but site went down, so instead went on JK2 to see if CorSec and GI were still playing somewhere , I found CorSec and joined in the FFA he was in. Later the game changed to team FFA, and our team had a serious arse-kicking, 'twas more like a massacre than a game. lol
When you lose 20 - 0, you know there's a problem in your strategy...
So, I tried to pull us together to work as a team, but I think it was like putting all the targets in one convenient place so they didn't need to look for us... We still lost miserably...
*sigh*
Such is life...

Grr... My sisters have hijacked my fishtank.
I was gonna have some nice fish in my room, they already have a rabbit, guinea-pig, rat and hamster between them. Plus I paid for that tank, so I'm not going to let them have it, they won't be able to afford all the stuff anyway.
In other news, the timeline for GBnet[v4] is finished, I've started getting all that fanfiction formatted to GBnet-ness now. :)
Also, I was messing with the colours on the GBnet forums, we now have alternating shades of dark blue for the post backgrounds.
I had to do that so that the new spoiler BBcode would work properly.

I've set my self the goal of getting GBnet[v4] finished in the next couple of weeks. It's gonna be hard work, but once the timeline is out of the way it should be pretty easy from there on. That timeline is doing my head in, but I hope that it'll be worth all the effort when it is finally finished.
I rediscovered Metal Gear Solid 2, so I have been playing that a lot recently... I sorta forgot about it for a year, even though I was waiting for the damn game for long enough, lol.
Just got the latest articles for Psycho Weekly 11 sent off to Furday, so it's all in his very furry hands now. Hopefully he'll be quicker than I was...
# 14 May 2003 15:31
Largely uneventful day... They finally showed me how to filter the vats at work - I've only been there three years.
Came up with some cool ideas for Galactic Basic. But nobody will be able to see them until v4 is done.
I _am_ working on it, honestly.
# 13 May 2003 20:38
So, here I am... Back again.
This time my harddrive broke, luckily I had a spare, otherwise I would have been waiting a long time, having just spent all my money on that new monitor.
For some reason, when I start the comp, it asks me to choose the OS to use, when there is only WinXP on it. Knowing my luck it is the ghost of the old HDD... The worlds first haunted computer...
Anyway, I am having lots of trouble getting all the drivers re-installed, so if I kill you, then don't take it personally.
I'm beginning to wonder what I have done to deserve all this bad luck...
*sigh*

Yay!
New Monitor came, in all it's nice shiny glory. :)
I was beginning to crack up without being able to use my computer.
Typically, the delivery man had to arrive just as I went into the bathroom, so I had to run out quickly - I luckily hadn't started doing anything :P

My monitor is dead.
*sniffcry*
At the moment, I'm on a public library computer, which is a load of crap, to be honest.
I can't even have more than one IE window open at the same time...
*kicks comp*
Well I gotta go soon...
I might be able to get a new monitor next week, but if not it'll be Force-knows-when...
Hope to be back online soon. :/

Took the National IQ Test for UK
I apparently have an IQ of 115. Average for my region is 103, but that does include Birmingham... Which probably brings down the average a lot :p

Nice busy day at work... Well not nice, but was busy, and was made even nicer by the fact that it was double-pay, due to the Bank Holiday. Hurrah!
I should be tidying the rest of my room, but my computer kept begging me to use it, so I couldn't let it down now, could I?
# 04 May 2003 22:47
Almost eleven hours after I started...
/me is exausted.
I've moved my PC and bed around... Behind me is all the junk I have yet to sort out... And I hope I don't need to get to my wardrobe anytime soon.
*takes a peek behind him*
Holy Sith, this is going to take all week...
On a brighter note I found the diary I kept of when I was making GalacticBasic.net and the SWdb. Finally I'll be able to rwrite that article about the birth of GBnet... :D
# 14:12
It's amazing some of the stuff I'm finding...
I found the instruction manual to my Sega Master System II, and a printout of something from my old PC... It had a 15Mb of memory... lol, I think my mobile phone has more than that.
I keep finding old drawings I did when I was a kid... I must have been on seriously deranged kid. Most of them are people being shot, stabbed, or otherwise killed. Hehe.
Mmm... I think dinner is ready at last. g2g

Mmm... Beer.
Nothing beats a good pint or... a lot. Yeah...
Well, I think I've sobered up a bit, so I am ready to post this. lol.
Uhh... 'twas quite a funny evening... The "doomed" guy is an Apprentice Carpenter, so most of the (adult-orientated) jokes centred around his "woodworm".
Most of the evening involved me standing next to the makeshift bar, filling up my glass as soon as it was empty. Eventually, though, I'd had ebough, but was soon forced to have more... An over I couldn't refuse, despite the fact I couldn't walk without bumping in to things.
Damn... I should have waited before coming online... Poor CorSec will think I've gone insane. Actually, he already knows I'm insane. So maybe he'll think I've gone more insaner than the insaneness that I already am.

Went into Worcester to take back a t-shirt I bought. The store had ordered it for me, but had sent me extra large instead of medium... Probably because of my sloppy writing...
I was thinking there were a lot of kids about, and later, about 2pm, I realised this was because it is Saturday. Dunno what day I thought it was, but that's no surprise - I rarely take note of the day or date.
So after getting to Worcester, I bought X-Wing: Wraith Squadron, and Tatooine Ghost, I will enjoy reading those, I wonder if I'll have finished them by the time Amazon.co.uk gets round to sending out Force Heretic II: Refugee...
Also I got Combat Flight Simulator 3 for the PC, yay!
Umm... Gotta go get ready... Going to an engagement party tonight.
Personally I think 17 is too young to be getting engaged, but that's none of my business, really... lol.
# 02 May 2003 22:08
Well, I think it looks a lot better now.
I might add a bit of cellpadding to the tables the blog text goes in, but right now, if I make it look any better my ego will probably get so big it won't fit in my house.
Anyways. We had a full-field (inspection type thing) at work today. Quite funny, especially when we had a huge delivery that took 4 hours to put away. It was all away before they arrived to inspect the place though.
I'm pretty glad they didn't ask me any questions, because although I probably would have got them right, when I'm asked important stuff my mind somehow goes blank. lol.
Dunno how we did though... Heh, st00pid customer of the year award goes to the guy this afternoon that bought a pack of 4 nuggets for £1.19 so that he would get a sauce free, intead of paying 5p for it.
Idiots
