The Blog of James Smith

1 visit to Jessops.com and 50 quid later and my digital camera is back in action.  Awesome.  I am now going to post hundreds of photos of my dogs now!

This is a result that drives 30 or 40 visits a month to a website of mine:

Digging the snippet!

So I decided to download the latest firefox 3 Beta this morning, and I have to say that it is very much better that 2.44.01023.243423.234 or whatever version Firefox 2 is up to now.

In fact I am now unsure which browser to use. Safari 3 or Firefox 3? Who knows?

Who cares?

I promise to write in this blog thing more often. Obviously this is a promise to just myself, and possibly my sister, as I am pretty sure no one else ever reads this. However, I have been very busy recently eating easter eggs and playing Diablo II again.

However, I have a couple of cool website ideas at the moment that I am working on. More on them when they are up and running though.

The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, changing departements and all that.

However, I am now the pround owner of what might be the greatest dvd box set in the world:

Babylon 5: The Complete Universe

Fucking mint!

So I am at my parents house with my dog – dogs, if you count the Matilda, my parents dog. Anyways, the internet here is very slow and unreliable. Which would be okay. Except other than walk the dogs and watch Sky Sports there isn’t much else to do. God how I love Sky Sports. From 20/20 cricket to premiership rugby to watching Derby almost win, there is everthing on Sky Sports.

So I was trying to do some work today – nothing on TV and the dogs had just been on a walk for an hour and a bit, so I decided to do some shit that should really have been done before. So I decided to do that. And then the internet went tits up and, this is the honest truth, the only site that would load with any kind of speed was www.blastbilliards.com. Seriously. So I played that for a while, rebooted the router a few times and then left it to watch reruns of Braniac and The Simpsons.

Then lo and behold, it starts working, at about half 9 at night. After I have lost all urges to do anything vaguely work related and instead now just want to play stupid flash games.

Awesome!

Why the hell do I always feel so guilty after getting drunk?

On Saturday, I went out with a mate for a few drinks in Manchester.  A few stretched into a few more, and about 40 squid later, I went home by bus.  Yet I feel guilty about being drunk, like I did something bad.  Is this what old age does to you?

I sure as hell hope not.

So I got off of my backside and decided to actually do something with this site. I have had this domain name for 2 or 3 years now, and as far as I can tell, I have never done anything worthwhile with it. Now however, I am going to make time to do shit to this website and make it what it deserves to be. A tall pile of shit among other piles of shit.

Sorted?

Sorted.
