December 8, 2002

[Updated: 24/Dec/2002 00:35: The CDs were sold for £22.35 all inclusive. The cheque is waiting at the bank to be cleared and I’ll send them all off as soon as the post offices reopen]

I’ve decided to clear out some of my music collection and sell it via Ebay. If you are looking for brand-artist name singles to help build, complete or start a pop collection then head on over to Ebay and check the list! Auction closes on the 18th of December…

With a reserve price of just £11 for 35 CDs: how can you miss such a bargin – especially with payment being accepted via Paypal, cheque, postal order or banker’s draft? UK posting and packaging is just £3.54!

All 35 original CD’s come in their original packaging/case – with a few including posters and ‘reader survey cards’. A number of the CDs also have bonus tracks.

Blog: 100th Entry

[100 entries]Wow! This is my 100th blog entry. Since starting it on the 6th of November (ie a month and a day ago – as compared to Neil’s sedate 6 weeks) with a post about receiving flowers from an ‘admirer’ (which I’ve since learnt was, in fact, my ex-girlfriend, I’ve received 20 comments from a total of 2958 visitors requesting 17,465 files transferring 201Mb of data. So far, during December, I’ve had an average of 160 visitors a day (compared with November’s 96 daily visitors). Most people have come here looking for the Mystery Of Time And Space walkthrough, but quite a number seem interested in my coverage of World AIDS day and the facts and figures I provided. My little bit about picking on George Bush with his binoculars is still the third most popular page. More stats are available on my 1st December posting.

If I had blogged yesterday, I could have probably made it exactly a month – drat. Oh well, better luck next time 🙂

Joke: 6 Hangover Levels

beer.jpgAs it’s now a little bit late for me to go out, I’ll just stay in and watch TV tonight. Drat. Oh well, at least it’ll save me from getting drunk (even though I have some Snowballs in the cupboard, 1/4 of a bottle of Absinthe and some Oyzo left). Talking of getting drunk (and what a roundabout way of getting to the subject) – I’ve recently been sent this “6 Hangover Levels” list which I found myself going “So true, check, been there” whilst reading – how about you?

1 Tankard Hangover ([*])
No pain. No real feeling of illness. You slept in your own bed and when you woke up there were no traffic cones in there with you. You are still able to function relatively well on the energy stored up from all those vodka redbulls. However, you can drink 10 bottles of water and still feel as parched as the Sahara.

Game: Stan Skates

[Stan Skates]I came across this little Flash game Stan Skates via User Friendly a few days ago and I’ve onyl got round to blogging about it now. Basically you control a little skateboarder (I’m guessing his name is Stan) and using the space bar, you’ve got to jump cones, tires, fire hydrants and pillar boxes. The first level is really easy, but the pillar boxes on the second level involve d–n good timing. And when you are tired, it ain’t easy…

MiniClip have a few other good games as well.

Blog: Been Busy

[Blog Icon]Yes, yes, I know I haven’t blogged for a whole two days now, but I’ve been busy. Between sleeping (today I slept for 19 out of 24 hours for some reason), search engine optimising a clients site AND re-writing MT-RefSearch (it’ll be ready tomorrow Eliot!), I haven’t had much time really to blog. I was going to blog last night, but unfortunately, the router this server is connected to died for around 4 hours so I couldn’t access my blog to make an entry. S–ds law isn’t it?

So, just to keep the 142 daily visitors to my blog happy for the next day or so: I’ll just make a few posts before I head out. My apologies if any of you are really obsessed with me- but I hope you can understand that other work does take priority (especially when I’m being paid for it 🙂 ).
