Absent Friends I went into the IRC channel i've been in for ever to be greeted with the topic...

Rest in Peace mikee1, we will miss you! Nov. 29th, 2006...Please take a moment to send a prayer or a good thought to mikee's family

I fucking hate that. I know we need to tell people what's going on but just seeing it like that is like a kick in the proverbials.

I left a message on our channel blog about it so what I want to say here is....

Just because you might never meet an online friend in real life in no way makes your friendship any less important. When Rare died I was gutted, tears and everything. Now mikee is gone too. In fact I believe as I started on IRC the chan had just lost Kathryn to cancer. This disease is fast becoming my personal nemesis. It takes all the good ones.

To my online friends, I do think about you all. You all matter...

Happy Birthday It almost escaped my notice, but this blog turned 1 on Sunday. The first post also mentioned that I had just given up smoking, which means that's been a year too. How time flies eh.

I'm now running 1,2,3,4 blogs and consider myself a non-smoker. (well ex-smoker).

One thing I would say is that the cravings for a smoke don't leave. I still find myself 'gaspin fur a fag' from time to time but it does lessen in severity. Thank gawd for Wrigley's Extra.

I bought the motor mentioned in post one too, as we all know, and it's also looking for re-housing now. Offers on a postcard please. Catty still works for Aker Kvaerner and I have changed cooncils from North Ayrshire to Aberdeen City, same shit different coloured payslips.

I still don't have a PC of my own that works as mine is still in it's fried mobo state in the corner. I did rape it for it's hard drives though, 120gig just wasn't gonna cut it. Especially when Catty beeyotches at me for filling it up.

Oh and there are now kidthekids four.

I can now understand some doric too, it surprised me to find that reed is more than just the place favoured by isrealite wimmin when abandoning their weans(loons and quines!) but in fact the first colour of the rainbow. I found this out when told to look for the building with the reed windaz.

The bank charges chase up returns to court on the 11th of January with hearing on the 18th of January(my birthday)...

Here's to another great year and I think I'll have a celebratory drink. You do it too on my behalf ok...

Hilton Chippie... ...kicks ass. Ordered a haggis pudding supper at lunch time today(since the kids get bread priority in my house) and it went down a treat.

5 Stars.

Is anyone else's day shortening? I am synchronising my PC clock every day and it's always about 7 minutes ahead of what it should be...

wth?

Blogger Beta I changed over to blogger beta this week. It's much of a muchness really, although it is definately lightspeed quicker to ftp than the old way.

I also figured I'd change over my plumbing blog to the new widget way, since it's hosted on blogspot and not at the-kid.org. I didn't much like it, ok you can play about with the layout by dragging stuff, (a la google homepages), but I couldn't get the title pic to appear or anything, maybe after a while of playing with it I would have had some success but I just don't have the time! lol

Also the aberdeen blogs site seems to have misplaced my feed so it's not updating properly (I'll email them but it might fix itself out, these things often do)

[edit] Blogger beta also has a tendancy to give a "Sorry we could not proceed with your request" screen, which is lies, I just posted 3 times because of it![/edit]

Inter-effing-net effing Explorer

In fact while it's in my head, one of the boys at work, Aaron from the office, reckoned his mate found an exploit in windows and wrote a patch for it, ensuring the worlds security once more. Multi Billionaire Bill Gates sent him a Microsoft jacket.

Same aforementioned Aaron when told of my interest in scripting, "You don't look like a computer programmer, you look like a plumber."

*Facepalm*
