It has indeed changed so many times over the years it is difficult to really narrow it down. Personally this doesn’t concern me, but regarding readership it does. The point of blogging implies sharing and communicating with the readership – yet without focus it is difficult to do this. I perfectly understand that right now this is all incredibly self concerned and of little use to anyone. I just want to make it clear I’m not preaching or thinking people care in this endeavour… but when I do set a purpose I will :-)

Until then, may the trash continue.

Without a doubt it has been the best holiday season since I was a child. I really am optimistic about this coming year! I have to share the following artist I discovered on DeviantArt. Amazing :-)

Artist of the moment
Glittercandy on DeviantArt
I especially like her satire tutorial series and I really love her Devi Smores
piece. You definitely need to check her out  :-)

Not made any particular New Years resolutions this year… I never really keep to them. Just go with the flow and all. I do intend to slim up a bit more, but I’m well on my way with this years progress. I’m amazed that I’ve lost over 4 stone and a massive 8″ off my waist. Wowzers. Naturally graduation is next up… need to ensure I get me a good grade huh?

Hope you all had a good one!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all :-D

I think it is safe to say that I’ve not been around much. That is all about to change. I have a shiny new design for my twitter, blog and youtube and intend to use them all! Green revolution!

I intend to update the pages up-top when I get chance. Its going to take a long time to get everything overhauled. Will be nice when it is done :)

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful Christmas. This has been the best one I’ve had for many many years :)

NB: This blog has the complete archive of all my 118 posts dating from summer 2005 to the near present. It was tempting to remove all these and start fresh, but you cannot deny the past nor what those posts represent. I really doubt anyone wants to see the ramblings of a moody teenager; but they’re there for my own amusement. All filed away under the category OLD, these posts can no longer be commented on.

I gave Kodak a call a few days ago about my completely busted printer. They managed to diagnose the problem over the phone and send me the spare parts I needed. Even included two new ink cartridges to replace the ones that got bust! Now thats what I call customer service! Talking of “customer service” I cannot believe I got IDed to buy lotto tickets yesterday. It’s rediculus. How the hell did I look 15… I mean, come on!

Enough of yesterday! Today has been much the same really. More ebay. So much listing. It is killing me with boredom. As such I’ve done a little bit of web work on my massive beta RPG social game world site thing… yea. Even I still haven’t finalised the plans. It’ll be awesome =)

Wooop :P

It sucks so much! My printer broke on me today and I had to print postage lables for the courier! Looks like a taxi ride to the post office tomorrow! Pfff. Least I’ve got some ebay stuff sorted. Still need to clear out my room – get rid of all my teenage and child stuff! Has to be done.

I’ve been coding all day now and things seem to be getting somewhere. I’ve been so rusty, especially with PHP! My hard work has paid off and I’m close to finishing this. No link, but will post a photo (lol). Few of my ebay items sold today – will go some way to helping with the rent- maybe even a holiday. We’ll see…

New blog design soon and stuff…

Peace :)
