February 2005

A poor picture of the “sink side” of the new kitchen. They have boxed in the boiler in the corner near the new doors (so i expect Mr British Gas will slap a condemed sticker on next visit). The sink is a large “double bowl” affair with a cool mixer tap thing which i still don’t fully understand how to get on hot. 

Its my birthday soon! - in… errr… 144 days! Hooray!

So it must be time to start with my Birthday gift list.
As my family will know (all too well) i always want for “nothing” on my birthday and christmas but this birthday i am going to get in early with a few suggestions.

I think i will set up my Amazon Wishlist as they seem to provide most things these days.
Also, my mood changes frequently as i find new things on the internet and think “i need one of them!!” so it will be a good place for me to keep up to date with my likes/dislikes and the general “faddi-ness” of my personality. By the time 2nd July 2005 comes - it might be down to a managable list!!! Bet there won’t be any books on there!

So, I’m back at work. My sinus system is still a flowing green triangle of mucus and my left lung still has a dull scraping pain every few coughs - but I am here - and working too! Which is a start.

I have left the pleasures of being ill at home with the kitchen fitters behind. This was not really pleasant (for either of us) - but was necessary. I slept for 9 hours on Thursday - so didn’t even really see them - which was nice. Anyway, they have gone and left us with 80% of a kitchen. Still a few cupboard doors missing (on order) and a few holes in the walls (being done Wednesday). The fitters are really good blokes - but we are more questionable about the sales people and their methods now. Hindsight is a marvelous thing - but when verbal conversations with one sales/designer person don’t translate magically to the fitters written instructions you can only kick yourself for not insisting things were handled better at the time. We will get there in the end. Money will not be paid if we are not happy - simple as that!
I will post some pics of the partially finished article too.

As reported on the Slyck P2P news pages (and other sites) there seems to be a buzz around a new website: http://www.snarf-it.org. In fact - the buzz is so loud - that I can’t even get to the site at all as they are being hammered! I think it is just another torrent site/tracker - but people are already touting the new site as the 2nd coming. Still not sure why though! Apparently it has a cute “mascot“. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Some interesting news also from the Slyck pages reports on the fact that the owners of Kazaa actually monitor and record what is being downloaded via their network! I guess this also applies to Kazaalite too - so watch your backs boys and girls!

I am having a real Jolly time in my kitchen at the moment…. 

What i come home to this week… 

Oh well..
Managed to screw my template up!
Even my saved copy with the extra links down the sidebar does’nt work either!

Curses…! back to the drawing board.

Nearly been on the web for 10 years now!

Google Search: “tao schencks”

Just did a search for “Taoski” on the new MSN Search and found quite a few interesting things!
Blimey! I thought some of this stuff would have been removed by now!

ngStats for Unreal Tournament Taoski

It shows me in a very bad light! Not at all on par with my usual standards!

Also found this: fame at last!!!
