24: Yet another quickie

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

The website that I have been messing around with for the last few weeks for uni is up on the interweb for all to laugh at, hosted at a free provider with no ads too! I hate Golf even more now that I did before. It’s a shit sport and so it is only fitting that a shit website is created for it.

look now: Linky

It is my first ever php site linking to MYSQL, with a tiny bit of CSS thrown in for good measure, the site design could be a hell of a lot better, but the tutor has looked at it and the only major letdown for A accross the board is no shopping cart.

Yet to do the documentation for it, but that will come in time now.

As for more interesting news, The weekend brings a couple of meals out with dancing and looking like a prat. Friday is Shrewsbury Night, with People from work, and then across to sunny cheshire oaks for more food, more dancing and looking more like an arse than a prat. That would be with Simon, Jo, Dave, The two people who never want to be mentioned again here(it’s a ongoing joke for me) and a few others from that time in Liverfool. Wonder what that will be like…. 🙂

Natalie sold her first painting this week in Shrewsbury, made a few bob, and drinks are on her!

The book, is still being re-written with new situations and far far more detail. Of course with all the uni work, and social stuff it’s just been silly. Seems i have been trying to do too much at once.

I intend to go to the gym (did read gyn here, cheers steve!!) next week as well for the first time in ages. Simply put I am only in work 2 days, and off the rest. With what I have to do work wise, i think the time has come to get off my arse and well, at the least, lear at the ladies once again.

Haven’t got around to telling you about the house party last weekend. Dear me, slacking away, and i need to write it down at least here, as it is good shit for the book!! My mind is fading away…who are you again?

Have to go, becuase i said so. As always campers, enjoy yourself and this week, why not try jam? It’s the reason to live.

24: Saturday and the night it brought.

Just a footnote really this fine sunday afternoon in brief form

Uni Work still ongoing, as always lots to do.

Normal work, ahahaha, I basically stopped a project in it’s tracks until the work I wanted was done. Power is good in the wrong hands….

Social Life: Went to a House-Warming party of one Ms laura camp (don’t know what her name will be now she is getting divorced), got a wee bit drunk, won at Buzz, sang badly, bounced on a trampoline, and saw Steve the most drunk I ever witnessed. Last I saw him, he locked himself in the toilet for sleep. Saw the infamous shower that was refered to in lots of randy emails during the week (don’t ask). Lots more, but this will do for now

Mum and Dad celebrated their wedding aniversary, and I didn’t forget it this year. So that means another year of peace.

That’s it for now, a full round up will appear here soon campers, keep on rocking!

24: Remember November. For no-one else will…

Forgive the title but it struck me as though most people will get things that happen. and they forget entire months at a time. Just a thought for a minute.

Well campers tis the end of yet another week and so far it is been very mixed really. Two fantastic days and the rest has been pap. Well in terms of the work that has been going on, a project has come to ahead as they say. People are panicking left right and center, tons of things are remaining to do and being perfectly honest, the position I am in, well a fantastic one. This is because for this week: I am the person telling people what needs to be done. It’s a bizarre feeling. A lowly peon telling the management what I need to have happen.

24: Sunday 19th November

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Well more work has been done. Aside from last weekend and Tuesday, Wednesday where i pissed away the time by playing games and enjoying some time with Natalie, All I have been bloody doing is work it seems during my week off and even the weekends. WHY!?! This is just unfair. And despite the amount of work done on the Systems Analysis, The Network Concepts new assignment and getting further in the pursuit of how to achieve a working ecommerce site, there is still far far and repeat again, far too much to do. I tell you what, It feels like last year at Uni, there was less work to do at once and they said that was busy.

This is now getting f**king stupid.

On a big big plus, I have done around 9500 words on the book and have sent two copies out so far for critism. If it turns out it would be complete crap and wouldn’t really be the type of thing people would want to read then I may leave there. The ultimate test will be the selling to the publishers. If they don’t want it, then never mind. May just write it anyway and then just have a PDF avalible on the internet.

Christ I just relised, this is one of the most boring weeks I have ever published on the blog. Maybe the updates which came every two weeks were far better to do instead! But despite that this next week promises much to write about.

Monday: MORE WORK!!
Tuesday: Wolverhampton Gig with Thunder
Wednesday: Casino Royale with Natalie
Thursday: College / Possible Night out for Birthday of Niki from Work
Friday: Buffs night
Weekend: More Work and Messing about

Take care everyone and for god’s sake, DO SOMETHING!

24: Friday: Wow I actually did something!

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Well an update is very brief here, I got some college work done today, started the second assignment on Systems Analysis, along with sorting out the admin part of the website. Still have the mountain of the store catalog and the shopping cart to sort, but it is getting better now. Glyn, you have helped lots mate, and I will draw on your immense experience shortly. I will repay my debt soon as well.

Even found time to write about 500 words extra on the first chapter. Not much but it needs beefing up in terms of history and some of the things which have happened which may or may not explain why I am what I am. But a lot more needs to be written given the last few months as well, given that more is come, I have to snap to it!!

Even got invited to a gig in Wolverhampton on Tuesday with a backstage pass to the after show party next week out of the blue. Isn’t life good atm? Have to ask though, anyone know who Thunder are?

The sad thing is my week off has ended. I want more time to do more things. Still, tis been fun folks.

24: Update on Thursday

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

The headlines

Have discovered that I have set items to be not null in MYSQL the bloody form start working (the code was bang on the money!!) Have also discovered how to display things from a table in the database. All that remains is the shopping cart and page designs and I could be home free!!

Spent Wednesday at home watching Hotel Babylon with Natalie before heading to Birmingham to spend time there both trying to get a free replacement Ipod (just seeing if i could get the newer model uder the pretense of saying the battery was knackered!) and spent some time with some of Nat’s friends, Iginos and Laura who live around Soilhull, which was nice. Possible trip there ensues.

Wasted more time playing pschonauts, spent around £470 on the car for it’s MOT and servicing, spent more money on RAM for the laptop which appearently god knows when I will get it. Damn you cruical!

Oh and I haven’t written any more on the book yet. Chapter 1 needs more adding to it as it is way incomplete for a previously on 24 chapter. All in all campers, I want more time off!!!

24: Monday begins with a struggle

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Good Afternoon people, as I am off this week, i thought a ever so brief update was in order. First off, cheers for the comments from the weekend, yes I am busy but as you can see it was worth it! I have written around 2000 words for the book, you see i needed a foreword and 3 chapters to begin with from what I have been reading in order to sell the idea to a publisher via an agent or directly.

The first chapter, is a Prevoiusly on 24, a summary of all things which had happened up till the beggining of the year of 24. So far so good, but I am amazed, when I actaully look back now, it seems there is a hell of a lot I could write about the past, let alone what is going on now, but alas it must be cut. Problem is when I get writers block, it’s going to suck.

My examination of the Web Design Assignment has me filled with dread. It is a hell of a lot harder than I first thought, by a long mile and may force me to pull back from a few things I had planned this week to get really into it. For what we need to do, we have not been taught enough to complete, and I suspect that will remain the case. I will also start the second systems analysis assignment this week, hopefully getting the majority out of the way. That is the plan anyway, but my plans have a nasty habit of falling apart.

The car is getting fixed at the moment which means I am stuck at home, which is just as well considering what I have to do. So much for a week off eh campers? Though I must confess I wasted the whole of sunday in my dressing gown playing Splinter Cell, (which is a lot f**king harder than the previous ones) and a spir of the moment purchase from Steam, called Psychonauts, came out on playstation a long time ago, and got ported to PC. That platform game is actually one of the best I have ever played and it was well worth the 23 dollars I paid. Go and get it now kids. So for the wasted day, twas my fault but god I needed one of those.

Will update again as time goes on.

24: The Great Update of November 06

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Well campers I guess it is time I do update the blog, after comments from Thursday night where I was asked why I hadn’t updated in so long.

Truth be told other things have taken a priority. Uni with assignments for Systems Analysis, Network Concepts had to be completed, and I have got to make a major start now on the PHP MySQL Website, I have the information I need to make a basic site atm, and it is just a case of sifting through all the rubbish to achieve my goal, well finishing the project, World Domination will just have to wait.

But I suspect that only two or three of you want to hear about Computer stuff, the rest want the juicy gear as to what I going on in Funkytown out and about and also to catch up with what happened in London, Liverpool, Shrewsbury, Telford, Oswestry and even Ruthin. Continue reading →

24: Tis too long since you last fought at my side

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Yes regretfully, I have been very much awol again since the last update, which was about 2 weeks ago again!

Dear me, It’s almost like other things are going on!! There won’t be much here at the moment, but rest assured the weekend will bring forth a bounty of news, about London, The Divine Comedy and numerous other things from the World of Hughes.

Glyn mate, I will contact you as soon as possible as I read your blog, and you are annoyed by no-one contacting again. My sincere apologies mate, but as you can imagine; There is not enough time in the day for most things. That actually goes for other people who I haven’t spoke to in a while.

Anyway campers I will write more at the weekend for you all and remember.

Badgers aren’t just for christmas.
