Who’s the criminal?
I don’t know if I’m getting old or I’m just turning really grumpy but I’m really starting to get hacked off with every day occurances in the news these days. In todays news there’s an article about some poor soul who got beaten to death on Halloween for no reason other than he was sticking up for his girlfriend who just had her costume hat taken from her and spat in.
Any decent fella, boyfriend of victim or not, would stand up for a lady and chow down some clown who thinks he’s “cool” by being a prick and ruining someone elses night, that’s, no doubt, a given. What is strange is how someone, or some people, think it is then OK to take one step further and beat a man to death for sticking up for his lady friend. Even these low-lives that clearly have less than half a brain cell can see the utter stupidity in such an act, so why do it?

New design
Over the past week, as I’ve been doing a lot of website work lately, I decided to change my site yet again, I know I last changed the design in May this year but I really grew bored of it within a month and began hating it, I think that is the main reason as to why I hardly post anything on it, hopefully with a design I actually like I might post more. I’ve also been told not to post boring crap like my “old and new” post which just rambles on about how I painted the office and setup a hi-fi in it. Thrilling eh.
Anyway, no doubt there are a few bugs in the new design and I may need to redraw something, yet again, but so far, I’m quite pleased with it, its a new design route I’ve never explored before, using a landing page that is still technically a page with content, just different to the other pages (so as to not put people off, the kind that skip sites when they get a “splash” page, as they have no content other than “enter here” usually).
Hope you enjoy!

Facebook ruined me
For around 15 years I’ve lived a double life, I’ve kept secrets from my “online friends” and “offline friends” alike, I’ve hidden who I am and that all came crashing down with the invention of Facebook.
I’ve been online since year 9 of high school which would have made me about 13. Back then I think 28.8k modems were all the rage and meant you were ‘super fast’ compared to the 14.4k versions. I remember my first time online with MSN, I had spent a minute connecting to find that there was absolutely no difference online to offline, atleast, that was my first thought. Then I discovered Microsoft Comic Chat and it changed my world. I spent hours on MSNs IRCX chat servers talking to people from across the pond although I was a kid, I had no sense of maturity in “real life”, let alone online, and swiftly became banned from MSN for being a general pillock. Who knew a SysOp could actually ban you from a chatroom!
