Morning all, its 1:10pm and im in a room (ooooo) waiting for a trainer to get back. Im in reading… lovely place staying in a Travelodge (GO ME! UPPERCLASS AT LAST) with no internet connection… (bugger). I am on a SQL 2005 course which I was informed would be “how to install a server Steve, nothing else so dont worry about it”. Bollocks is all I can say to this, I am currently installing one (well I will be after lunch), thats Day 1 out of the way, then we have to take into concideration days 2-5. Which in the long run will be good on my CV but hell on my social life. Thats right people, I wont see any of my friends for the next 5 days, I normally see one or two on mondays, more on tuesdays leading up to thursday when I see ALL of them, but alas not this week, Im stranded in Reading without a hope or …. well… friend.. (trying to restrain from religious words really). Do you live in Reading Central? Want to meet up and have a drink with your lor...

What day is it?
2008-01-17 12:01:00
Good morning all, its 10:53 and I feel like shit. I have spent 3 hours making the gif below… its one frame, but the detail is awsome… I have done around 44 hours work this week so far (days only started tbh), I feel like shit, and last night I bunked the train back to Burgess Hill and didnt eat, just so I could buy Tiff a bottle of wine, now some might call me stupid, but I say its all for love. Ive decided this site needs more pictures, and I have decided to make my own and put them on!!! As you can tell, Im bored…. to fireworks! BAN WEBSITES!!! all of them

The Death of me?!
2008-01-16 13:26:00
Well, I have been looking into stats for my site (this site… the one you are on) for a giggle, its not a great amount of people who have visited this month, I havent given much for people to enjoy lately and Im thinking of selling this site and starting a new atm (well I say new, I mean take all the content and move it to another site, remove all the pay per post and smorty stuff and then get my page rank up.). The only problem is then I have to get my visits up again, and start from scratch with Alexa, which is a pain in itself. Anyway, to the “Death of me” part, I was looking at the stats and I looked at the organic hits, one was “Stephen Skelhorn Death”, I was like “Thats alittle dark”, someone came onto this site and looked for around 2 hours, was kinda weird. Im sorry to that person to hear of your loss (I looked it up). Just creeped me out alittle

It was nice whilst it lasted
2008-01-16 11:18:00
Well, this is it… the end of me making money off of this site, will carry on to post on this site, soon I will remove all PPP information off of my website (pay per post), which hopefully will boost my Page Rank once more, I would say Another Day Wasted is slowly dieing, but its getting more and more hits every day, which is weird. I really should try and give this whole website purpose, but hell… to much work. Currently having problems with corrupt GroupWise installs… god I hate them

Morning all, its 4:04pm, I feel like death. Today I had the honor of transfering every member of work over to Groupwise, if you dont know what groupwise is, good for you, keep it that way. Containers wernt working so I had to do each one, one by one. 200 accounts. My brain went numb. After this I went to work doing all the little things on my list, the ones….. Wait….. this is a first, Please note I started writing this at 4pm on Tuesday, it is now 8am wednesday morning…. whoops, forgot to finish it off and post it. So shattered, need more sleep…. and less work… So beings my 8 till 8 shift…. go me…!!!!!

Morning all, its 1:40pm, just under 3 hours until I leave forever (until tomorrow). I have only fixed one computer today, Im leaving all my big jobs for wednesday, have to do a 12 hour day 8 till 8 meaning a 1 hour journey home, so will be at home and hopefully in bed by 9 (sad I know but need sleep). Next week I shall be running away to Reading for a week (yey finally got the spelling right for a change) on a MIS course (management information systems…. or something), I shall hopefully be taking my lovely other 1/2 if I can get the money together. The stay is around £250 for the week, the travel is around £30 and the course is around oh I dont know, about £1500? All paid for by work, also they shall be paying me back anything I spend, there has to be a loophole for beer in there somewhere, could you imagen it? £400 on beer repaid within days! go me!!!!! weeeeeeeee!!!

Dolly the sheep
2008-01-10 12:10:00
As many people know I do like to read and write alot, Im currently addicted to wiki, not posting or correcting information but just reading. I normally look up pointless things or information on old books, for example I typed in “H.P. Lovecraft” one day and it came up with countless links and information on the old gods and other random things. Today I decided to look on the changes page (always for a giggle) as many people decide to actually make accounts to change information and basically vandalise the page in general. You know it makes me laugh that people do this to prove a point, my fav artical being Dolly the sheep. A massive list of changes, some by this guy called “James”, now Im not a fan of people tampering with information on the net but when something like this: “Dolly the sheep died age 6 due to” to “Dolly the sheep died in a motor cycle accident” Then you cant really complain, well you can but I just think it was funny,...

Poker for a day off
2008-01-08 12:22:00
Morning all, as you all know I am a poker lover and strive to get the best deals on online poker and also as you all know I love to share them, so lately I have been searching google for online casino’s and same across pro360. Now Ive talked about portals like this before, but I must admit I really like this one, its well set up and its nice to see reviews on a site about other sites which are featured. If you decided to have a looky at this site you will see alot of deals. Best thing about this one? It has more then just poker so what ever your poison it will be there with a good deal for new clients, best thing is most of the games you dont need to download anything for!

Morning all, as you all know, its now friday. I dont have many plans for the weekend apart from 1 birthday and a wedding to goto. Lovely times! I speak to you now from a bunker 300ft below sea level with a tin hat on. I am currently waiting for the end of time to come so I can redeem my free peaches from the hobo down the road who said the world would end at 12pm today, its now 1:26pm but you never know!

Piano
2008-01-03 09:52:00
Ok this is a weird one, but Im a music lover, cant help but say that, and its almost any kind of music. I would love to be able to play anything really, so I have found this:Piano lessons & piano chords I know this is a bit of a weird one, but after looking into it the product is free (well the newsletter) which actually can teach you how to play the piano, I know that some people might not like the idea but for free its worth it. I personally would love to learn to play a bass but I dont think that will ever happen, I mean I know a few people with piano’s and it would be nice to say I can do something (without having to go “oh Im grade 1 - 10″). Also if you dont like to read they also offer a DVD for adults (which is in the newsletters) but there is never any obligation to buy them which is really nice. Its worth a look in my books.

Morning all, as you can see I have started my money making again, but you will notice I have also been posting a news artical for the last 2 days, almost a “my views” section coming to light now, very crude and rude (almost directly to my point - oo err) I believe this is the best way to get things across. Thank you for all the lovely e-mails sent over the holiday, I have now replied to them all the best I can, some are just one liners but hell, thats because Im lazy. Anyway back to work.. well… playing UT2004 at work (paid to play games, got to love it) BRING ON THE SNOW

The Front page news - my comments
2008-01-03 09:40:00
Todays news is about the lost data and what and how they should do about it: Reckless or repeated breaches of data security should become a criminal offence, a committee of MPs has said. Currently, government departments cannot be held criminally responsible for data protection breaches. But in a report on the “truly shocking” loss of 25m people’s personal details by HM Revenue and Customs, the Commons justice committee demands tougher laws. The MPs said there was a “widespread problem” and “systemic failings” in the government’s handling of personal data. The committee’s Liberal Democrat chairman Alan Beith said: “The scale of the data loss by government bodies and contractors is truly shocking but the evidence we have had points to further hidden problems. “It is frankly incredible, for example, that the measures HMRC has put in place were not already standard procedure.” - Comment: How about just get your fu...

Telnet - The thorn
2008-01-03 09:40:00
As I work in IT and need to find better and more secure ways to do things, this week I have been asked by management to look into Telnet servers just to make life alot easier (basically telnet is a terminal emulation protocol used on the Internet and TCP/IP-based networks. A Telnet program allows a user at a terminal or PC to log onto a remote computer and run a program and execute other Unix commands), but as usual I need to located the cheapest but more secure / stable one around so I have taken it on myself to look all over the net. I did find a company called Pragma Systems which allows for a easy but secure piece of software to be used (TelnetServer) also a number of other handy pieces of software along my all time fav…. SFTP. I must admit I have been looking at this company now for a few hours and I personally think it is a good vendor for the telnet services just need to do alittle more research into the support behind it, wish me luck.

Ok time for the plus side
2008-01-02 14:41:00
I have spoken many times before about loans and adverse credit mortgages and I have given them all a hard time in a sense, which isnt really fair. So now for the lighter side of things, I know that in the long run problems can pop up all over the place where you need money fast so yes, they are a very good idea in the long run. It is very nice to know that companies are there to help you out (even if they are just in it for the money), yes it is a pain to repay, but in a sense look at it this way: I borrow £xxxx and pay back £xxx a month, this may seem like a pain as Im paying out more at the end, but this company has helped me out and got me out of trouble, more then likely I wont have to use them again but when its paid off then I’m free from trouble again. Also by me taking out this loan has helped the following people aswell: The people in the call center who call you to help you or get you the loan have a job because of you The people who work for the company to “...

From the BBC: “An urgent inquiry is to be carried out into engineering work delays which have caused chaos for tens of thousands of rail passengers. The Office of Rail Regulation began the inquiry after engineering work on the West Coast line overran by two days. The works at Rugby have left the line closed between Birmingham International and Northampton and Virgin has advised passengers not to use its trains. Liverpool Street station in London is closed after works there also overran. Network Rail apologised for the delays and said it was working “flat out” to restore normal services.” So the fact this has happend year in and year out for the last god knows how many years and they have only just decided it needs sorting out

Dear god
2008-01-02 12:41:00
Morning all, its 11:33am on a new day of a new year. So far its been shit, there is no reason for any of us to be at work, the only problem we have had so far was a mouse not working, so we all put our heads together to replace it. The main redeeming feature of the day is Martin screaming at the phone (automated systems make him chuckle…). I am currently putting pictures up around my desk whilst sitting next to 9 bottles of beer (7 becks and 2 leffe) whilst wondering what to write about whilst talking on meebo. I feel like shit tho. Basically for the last 5 days I have been slowly dieing of man flu, never a good thing, so when I got up this morning I felt even worse, got to work, slowly gone down hill. Even worse with the update of wordpress I cant add videos atm… because I cant remember how I done it in the first place!

As many of you still know I am slightly annoyed with google, but hell its the holidays. I have been looking more and more into online marketing specialists and I came across one which was basically asking for a review so I decided to… Intelligent online marketing.com is a very well presented site, there are very few bugs (only 1 font error attacked my screen but it made no difference to the site itself but it looks very professional, unlike many sites I review I have noticed that this one has a nice clean look which doesnt look to busy, also the spacing between everything is perfect. I have talked about companies like this before and I have recommended alot of companies in the past but just by the website I actually feel like I can trust this site and its owner because it looks so professional. Lets face it, alot of professional sites now a days look like they have been done in paint of front page so it is refreshing to see this sort of site. With a nice interface and a good...

Thursday
2007-12-20 10:09:00
I awoke to a sound like any other sound, one which still chills to the bone, the sound of pain and death… My alarm clock. I quickly lept to my feet to destory my foe, with a swift punch the beast lay silent once more. I prayed that on the morrow I would awake to a new world but alas I must face the trails of the day. Upon slaying the pop tard hords I feasted whilst learning of the current events happening within this small kingdom of man. Many had turned against one another for profit and greed, I knew that time was short so with one last breath I leaped from my stool and attacked the iron beat which approached from beind…outside. The beast was strong but nothing can with stand the might blows of my fist the beast split open and I climbed in, suddenly with haste the beast shot between all huts and trees to magical place in which arrows carry pesents and nobles, I approached with caughtion as one approached, once it had stopped I mounted the arrow, it was more comfortab...

The simple spam bot
2007-12-19 10:39:00
Now as many other bloggers are aware (one day you people will talk to me!) nearly every day you log on you need to deal with anywhere from 10 to 4.4 billion spam messages (for example yesterday was around 20, today was 84). I noticed when skim reading the junk that one bot had tried to hard to get noticed basically saying “like your site” then BUY PORN or something I dont know, but it didnt even have a link or the name of the site it was selling from. It had posted about 10 of them, but still no link, poor little simple creature. One day it will learn, or if someone tries to PROGRAM properly.

Apart from the bad things, its been a good year. The powdery white rapest is still in the sky (the moon - who once saw partic moor do a shit on this salad), and I wanted to relive a few posts so today is “T’was a sad day” “It had always made me laugh the way people would say “t’was a sad day”, I never knew the reason behind missing out a I in a sentence at all, but hell that was just me. Then the day had come, I knew that death was creeping in the shadows waiting for the right moment in time to change my life forever.
