Today a package came

Sep 24 2003

On mon­day night, very late, I orde­red some cds and some cases for those cds. These arri­ved today. The data­safe 80min sil­ver pre­miums were fine… but then I noti­ced the plas­tic wallet cases I had orde­red. Turns out I had mis­sed the very small “width 8cm” when orde­ring. Hence they are use­less to me and a waste of £4:00. WHAT am I going to do with 100 of these things?

In other news. Today I shop­ped for goods to go away to UNI with, mainly food, crisps, cereal, tea, sugar and sta­tio­nary, new fol­ders, pens, paper. I was also bought a won­der­ful tin ope­ner, mea­su­ring glass jug and salt and pep­per hol­ders — for which I am enti­rely gra­te­ful. Tomo­rrow I shall be sor­ting out croc­kery. This eve­ning I spent an hour going over the maths I have for­got­ten over the past ten weeks. I did this while watching the movie “15 minu­tes” which was really quite terri­ble, even though the good guy fire marshall killed the evil czech. Coo­ked myself a nice meat pie, chips and a corn on the cob.

Currently have a very pain­ful knee, elbow, chest and a hea­dache. But phy­si­cal pains aside, I feel good.

Currently lis­te­ning to Bobby Darren.

Dead like me and a hot bank clerk

Sep 23 2003

Here is a jour­nal entry writ­ten for the sole pur­pose of an inter­net user who goes under the alias of “sksic”. He was bored and wan­ted to read something new on here. Thus, ins­tead of going to bed, I am going to stay awake for another pre­cious thirty minu­tes to indulge his whim, or whatever.

Thus today began. Woke up at 10am to the alar­mic sounds of my PC whi­rring the not so plea­su­ra­ble tone of Nir­vana and Green Day. I sprang out of bed and hea­ded to my com­pu­ter where I chec­ked all the local inter­net out­lets for new goods, news and emails. Nothing really new or enter­tai­ning to report. As usual. I once again gave into my caf­feine addic­tion, a nice strong cof­fee to wake me up.

At 12:00 sharp I left the house, going into the cen­tre to pay a visit to the bank. I nee­ded to cash a che­que, trans­fer some funds and find out about stu­dent insu­rance for dor­mi­to­ries. I also plan­ned to buy sta­tio­nary and get lunch. The first thing to note about my encoun­ter at the bank is the gor­geous (pulch­ri­tu­di­nous) young and bru­nette assis­tant who would be hel­ping me with my finan­ces. She loo­ked a little like Jena Malone, with dark brown eyes. I cashed the che­que, asked about insu­rance and asked to trans­fer funds — Here I was told I had an addi­tio­nal £200 in my ISA which was a very plea­sant sur­prise. Lea­ving the com­fort of the warm bank and the com­pany of the beau­ti­ful bank clerk, I made my way out into the cold sep­tem­ber weather. To the sta­tio­nary shop I went; I pic­ked up a fol­der and a pad of paper, loo­ked at the pens, duly noted their price, put everything down and left. Cheap biros for £2, I think not. Greggs was the cho­sen store for the purcha­sing of my nou­rri­ture. Tuna salad baguette and a mini sau­sage roll, two of my favou­rite things — howe­ver this time the tuna had a dis­taste making my jaw musc­les con­vulse in repul­sion and the sau­sage roll left my mouth dry and greasy. I wal­ked home in my new suede shoes that made my feet terribly cold.

On pas­sing the clo­sest con­ve­nience store to my house, I was accos­ted by three arro­gant teens from the nearby high school, wan­ting me to buy them ciga­ret­tes. I told them no and they insis­ted that I should change my mind. I told them no again, then asked what I would get out of it. “I’ll give you one”. I wal­ked away.

Spent the rest of the after­noon watching “Dead Like Me” epi­so­des. I am now upto epi­sode six. I am sin­ce­rely loving this series. A sui­ta­ble subs­ti­tute now that Buffy has finished I think. I look for­ward to future epi­so­des, sea­sons and happy times.

Currently making my desk lamp dim in and out through the power of my mind alone.

Good­night.

An image leeching bug

Sep 23 2003

Today I noti­ced a rather shoc­king bug with my anti image leeching script. Whe­ne­ver someone visi­ted the site,

fofr​.tri​vial​being​.net < without the “/” at the end. (And all the other sites hos­ted here), the anti leeching ima­ges were being shown. THIS WAS VERY BAD. And made the sites all look terri­ble and BAD.
It has been reme­died now but it has cau­sed great frus­tra­tion, that and the res­to­ra­tion of ver­sion 1.0 of the eva site, for those not happy with ver­sion 2.0.
