So theres been a fair bit happen recently so i thought i'd blog about it

mostly whats been on my mind is my ex, she constantly tells me things like "if its meant to be its meant to be, if not, then its not" & "if its ment to happen in the future then it will happen in the future and if its not then it wont" and other various blaringly obvious phrases, i just reply with "i know". on the same topic, i have been thinking about her a lot recently, i dont know if thats because shes been talking to me more, or the combination of things like what happened at the cali. and various songs reminding me of her. she asked me if i still loved her the other day, lol. i hastily replied with a no, which wasnt too good really seeing as well, it wasnt really true, i guess i just wanted

So, after upgrading wordpress and having it annoy me so much with general things like menu's being all over the place, themes not really working right and bugs stopping me from getting into the admin area, i decided to start over, i i deleted my old wordpress installation and started a fresh one, and then just imported the posts from the previous blog, which is handy.

Anyways, as you can see there are a lot more features now one of the big ones being a theme change, which didnt actually take all that much hacking to get it to look right. another big change is the sidebar is now based on widgets instead of hard coded plugins, I used to hate widgets but now i dont seem to mind them so much, the only thing that i still find annoying about them is there is a limited amount of

So, i was wrong about money, it seems that it hasnt actually made me any happier after all.

Life is stupid sometimes. I hate the fact that I dont actually have any money to spend despite having a job/business. Is life really this crappy, even with money? wtf @ that.

Also I think im just feeling a bit depressed right now, most liekly due to the lack of female company *shrug* I dont even know what to say now. I hate debt. I miss laura. 

I think the fact im having trouble seperating things like business and personal, plus the lack of confidence i still have for some unknown reason. I hate stress, im usually good at dealing with it, but not recently, i hate it. i need somewhere to go and relax for like a week by myself, somewhere nobody knows, but i know that wouldnt

So I decided to revamp my usb switchblade after seeing this guide, I wanted to intergrate it with my current setup. so after doing that, it was actually pretty easy as I already had a WinPE source on my drive. (plus its a really easy guide to follow anyways), anyways, i decided to redo the switchblade part of my pen drive, mostly because it was a bit buggy and didnt work sometimes because it was a really "hacked" implementation, so ive spent pretty much most of today creating a new implementation of it now, gone are the drive vars as they were uneeded and just caused unnessesary complications and made it less reliable. ive added so new icons for the u3 drive and the flash partition. All this is been done on my new 2GB titanium cruzer which is a lot more solid than the flimsy plastic

so i just updated to the new wordpress, i like the new colours, but cant say i like the reorganised admin menu, everything is all over the place, also i hate the fact that different plugins put thier options pages in different places, it just annoys me, plus the upgraade seems to have reset something in one of the plugins so now the sidebar doesnt look quite right.

And not to mention the rediculously infuriating widgets thing, I have a plugin to disable them, but it also disables the dashboard, which is quite annoying, but then the dashboard doesnt really look all that good anyways, tbh, i might look into making a plugin to change the locations of some things in the admin area.

In other news, I am totally bored with life. i thought money might make me a little happier but no, i think thats because im still getting over my ex. (something that will take me a looooong time).

she was cool, and hot, and the funny thing is i thnk she actally liked me, which was weird, social status was/is pretty much everything in school, and she risked it all. i should have taken a chance really, i wish i could see her again, that'd be cool.

& yes i am a little drunk right now, hence the shortness of this post a the more than average probability that there are typos, and this keyboard is really crappy and hurts your wrist after typing for a while >.<

heh, life is silly.

lol, so ive recently been recovering from the breakup from my ex, i say recently, it was actually last november, but it always takes me longer than average because im abnormal. theres been so many things ive wanted t get out of my head or say to her, and i had an idea of writing them all out here just so i dont make a fool of my self and call her up and do it, but whenever i got in front of a pc, i couldnt remember half of them which is odd lol, they still come back at times, when something reminds me of her, like pretty much any song that mentions love or loss or anything even remotely relationship orientated, places we used to go or things we used to do or things i wished we did, yeah thats quite a lot, in retrospect im quite glad i didnt fall in love with her as much as i could have, that would have been really quite bad tbh. but im getting better tho, as the song associations fade

Soo, the thing ive recently been busy with is work, yes work. At the minuite im making the transition from long term dole scrounger to Chief Executive officer / Managing Director (I havent quite settled on a title yet) of my own company, which is quite a jump :p

but its all good fun, HSBC have been cool about it, giving me a business account, complete with business credit card and a little fob to logon to secure internet banking.

I really should finish off the website thats been in the works for a while and make it live Will probably get some business cards printed off soon too, as well as maybe some branded clothing too, so that I look the part.

I would reveal the company details here but, well, we cant have you all spamming me now can we :p

So Vista SP1 RTM has been released on Connect, and Windows Update apparently. Its quite likely that it'll be available/leaked on torrent/http link if it isnt already. I should reinstall vista sometime and test it out.

update:

"Customers who visit Windows Update can choose to install Service Pack 1. If Windows Update determines that the system has one of the drivers we know to be problematic, then Windows Update will not offer SP1. Since we know that some customers may want to update to SP1 anyhow, the download center will allow anyone who wants to install SP1 to do so."

more info here.

Im not sure if i have "the driver", but I'm getting it from another source anyway

So recently, ive been going though my (very) old website. when i first started doing web pages, my ideas were something along the lines of uuse as many cool javascripts as you can get to work on one page, java applets make nice effects so we'll use those too. and frames look easy to work with so i'll use those, so all of that coupled with random images that i thought looked good and random content i found on the web, created my first website on free hosting, using front page, lol. (it could be worse, at least it wasnt MS word :p ). as you can imagine it was all state of the art stuff, lol.

So as time went on, I started adding things to the site, in different "sections", this included what i can "pretty pictures", pictures i created in ms paint in college because i was bored, and the stupidly restrictive so i couldnt install anything else.

another section included poetry id
