Ideas...

I have so many ideas for neat things I'd like to see, but I always manage to procrastinate, then forget. I have so many half-finished projects lying around it isn't funny.

So, I'm going to pick them up one at a time and actually do them. No idea what I'm going to do for motivation though, hopefully the reward will be completing a project. Who knows, I may get to like it :)

So I may have slipped off the bandwagon and purchased a new laptop... It was shiny, in the shop and everything. The new screens are nice, but the glossy finish is bugging me. Other than that, so far so good, and hopefully the final components of my backup system will turn up tomorrow.

Spam and Harry Potter

I run [info]coeliac_recipes, and until 6 hours ago it was unmoderated and had worked fine for 6 years, people posted recipes and we all got along. Then someone, I can't really call them a spammer, came along and flooded in some graphic and disturbing posts. I removed their membership, but they came back. Now it's moderated and I'm waiting for a response from the LJ abuse team. Go life.

In more pleasant news, I saw the latest Harry Potter. Thought it was a little slow to start, but so was the book. Pretty good though.

And with that the time creeps closer to 1am and I should sleep, especially as I have a flat inspection at 9:45 tomorrow...

I can't believe I haven't read Dune before, but now I'm correcting this oversight.

Also there's a new series of Mock The Week for people who can get to iPlayer. It's pretty awesome.

Back to the book, though I really should do something about the housework...

So... many many months since I posted, maybe I should in case anyone still reads this ;)

Still working at Innaworks, slowly being driven insane by cellphone bugs, and I mean insane.

I've recently returned to the land of the single. Not quite sure why, but it's done.

Twitter is getting me out of the house more though, so that's good. If only I had the money to do it more. Anyone want a programmer/sysadmin/anything computery?

And that's pretty much it.

Hrm, I really haven't posted much since I got involved in Twitter. That's a dangerous place. I hide over there.

I keep meaning to post here, but twitter is easier :P

This is neat, cheap kitchen fire suppression, I'd get one if I wasn't renting, and if the sprinklers wouldn't set off anyway ;)

Finally got around to listening to Dark Passion Play. Good album, but it's not old Nightwish.

Also, got around to updating my journal, in between work, WoW and writing some keyboard drivers I haven't been doing much interesting. I need to take more photos, and probably wander around town on a sunny day.

I don't think anyone here is a Mac gamer, especially not one with a G15 keyboard, unless you're lurking. I've been cooking up some drivers for it, better than the just-released logitech ones (not a high bar I know). Let me know if you're lurking though, I need testers and people to tell me what horrible GUI mistakes I've made.

That's all for now ;)

It's halloween in WoW now! Much fun to be had.

In other gripes, why do people think it's such a horrible job to clean a shared kitchen? There's a few companies on the same floor as innaworks and we are supposed to share the kitchen cleaning (Put things in dishwasher, turn on). Is that hard? The other companies seem to put more effort in to whinging than it would take to do the cleaning...


Bah, people.

We were once young and blessed with *beepbeepbeepbeepbeep*

Stupid headphones that need recharging. Guess that's my fault for buying wireless headphones, but bah.

A link to spread the love around:

Autism Quotient

*ahem* I got 41 *ahem*

Other than that, I have gluten free gingernuts that are crunchy, and I haven't told LJ yet! I'm shocked! They're tasty! Nomnomnom!

Unskippable anti-piracy trailers annoy me. The only reason I would pay money for a DVD would be to watch the movie, please don't get in the way of that. 30 seconds of ads telling me not to do something I didn't do makes it more tempting just to download the damn thing.

I'm liking living in a fancy modern(ish) apartment, I keep forgetting how cold it is outside, and I'm not even blasting heaters! The downside is the cost...

Also, random clicking through LJ ended up at [info]rivet, took me a while to realise how I recognised the name, ended up at a party at her place a couple of months ago. Yay for small Wellington.

I'm also trying to find a new job, this one just isn't working out. Even WebGenius was better organised, and that's saying something. Lets see what's on offer at the moment, pity it's 6 weeks notice...

Fun things from the 'tubes, firstly I am Merloc, guitar hero style. There are some people I know who may be interested ;)

And secondly, a geographic survey of Azeroth. It's tiny.

Making Rhubarb and Ginger sponge pudding... lets see how that turns out without gluten or eggs....

And I'm now 2/3rds of the way to Level 64! Over 60 takes much longer..., took 10 days of play time to get to 60, so far 3 to 63... And all WoW interface mods suck, just for the record.

Back to cooking... and levelling ;)

Been sick for the past few days, had to take today off work :/ Hopefully I'll be better by Sunday, have to drive up to the Wairarapa.

Being entertained by [info]nutcake and TV. She has been acquired by a kitty.

I've also learnt that you should never work with friends. It's fine to become friends with your workmates, but not the other way around.

Now... TV.

I'm getting really sick of being depressed all the time. If only I'd actually gotten over myself when I was at uni and talked to someone, I could have afforded it then.

Meh.

Bleh. I want my life back, my friends back, [info]nutcake back. I threw it all away for nothing. Why do I have to make the stupid decisions?
