Greetings fellow urchins :)
Been soooooo long since I blogged. I even had to have Yimmy (AKA James) blog about his life in my absence. That was entertaining to read, not necessarily in a funny way, but I was engrossed. So thanks for that J, I may call on you to blog from time to time.
So my life.
Well, you will all notice that I have updated the look and feel of the website. It should be much easier to navigate now, and offers a lot more functionality. Like the radio.blog I have added to the site with a small smattering of tracks that I personally like (more will be added soon).
Thumbnail links to Flickr and deviantART (which doesn't fucking work and no one at deviantART will give me a reason why). I have also opted to host my images off the site, so there was less fucking around when it came to upload and update them.
The news link is now what my old home page used to look like, it contains all non-important update news, like change of version, updating links and contact details.
So yeah, that's about it for the site. I only have to update the About link, and then the site is done. Muhuhahaha.
What else?
Well as you can see by my Flickr pics that I am fully embracing Movember. I havea healthy handlebar formation growing on my lip of upper. Its not only the mo' takes a lot of getting used to, it's the looks that are cast at me. When I started a regular mo' I was getting dirty looks from people (mainly women), they must have been thinking I was some dirty little perv. Although that may be close to the truth, it isn't something I'm too interested in advertising.
Since growing the handlebar, I must admit that the looks have changed somewhat. Either people know I'm just growing it for Movember, or they are too scared to flash me a wry grin in case it is a permanent facial fixture - in which case if I were the type of person to have grown a handlebar moustache because I thought it suited me, I might also be the type of person to tear someone's scalp off and wear it as a hat.
Maddy is coming to terms with it and hardly notices it now. People at work don't really say anything, but they can't help but look at it, it's pretty funny. What's most funny about it (apart from the appearance of the thing) is that I appear to be doing it for fun, and not for men's health awareness that movember has been officially attached to now. See the details here: Official Movember Website
No one has offered me money, and to be honest I haven't really asked. But if they donate to me, I will donate to the charity, as raising awareness about prostate and testicular cancer and depression is very important. I won't go into why that's important, as most of the people that read this blog will understand why, and the ones that don't will just have to get someone to explain it on a piece of butcher's paper with crayons.
So, money's tight at the moment. Maddy might be moving out if we aren't able to fix the situation. We both aren't able to save money because on top of spending too much on the bills we are paying, we are buying crap and Maddy isn't getting quite enough shifts to break even.
To help fix this I've decided to downgrade from 1.5mbs ADSL to 512 *sigh* That might take a bit to get used to. I'm also going to change my webhost, so my site my be down for a bit soon, but I'll warn everybody before it happens. Just changing those two things will save me a whopping $676 per year, or if you wanna make it look insignificant $13 a week. Once Maddy and I split that correctly, it actually saves me $923 a year and roughly $18 a week.
I think it's a good start.
I might have to post what else is news at a later date. I must do some work :P Speak soon!
