ASO Hosting.

Filed under: Uncategorized

Next week I’ll be able to afford ASO hosting. Yippeeee!!!!!!!!!! :D

So as of next week, I’ll have ASO hosting (Medium Plan ;) ) and I’ll be buying domains like crazy. OK I’ll be buying 2, but that’s not the point.

So yeah, I’ll be fairly happy with my newfangled hosting and all that, so I’ll be happy. :)

A giant hole.

Filed under: Uncategorized

My day today was quite good.

Third period, PE:

Me: “Sir, I’ve ‘forgotten’ my PE stuff, it appears that I can’t take part”
PE Teacher: “Oh well. I’ve got a note for you.”

Now at this point I thought, “Oh great, I get to copy something out. The joy.”

But instead he handed me a piece of paper. I unfolded it, and it ended out it was a job offer from the shop I did my work experience with. Which was fun. So I’ve just landed myself in a hole in the sense that 6 days a week I have to get up at 8am, and on Saturdays I get the joy of getting up at 7.

The bright side is at least I get money now. My web design business is going nowhere. Maybe the fact that I build websites for free has something to do with it. And my job, combined with my Christmas money, means a new Bass…. oooooooh… and maybe even some upgrades for peecee.

I have to write an entire french essay tonight. Beautiful. I better get onto it.

Oh yeah, and I payed £50 for a girl to spend the day with me on Thursday. Don’t worry, the money went to charity. :P
It’s actually a slave auction where you buy people. :P

Anyway, I shall report back to you at a later date. Right now I have to go get my french essay done. :)

Pudsey, Pandora and Exams.

Filed under: Uncategorized, School

Pandora seriously is the best thing since sliced bread. It’s an online radio network, where you create your own radio station based on the music you want to hear. You can even email your stations to your friends. And the best thing is, it’s totally free! Check it out here.

Next week is Pudsey week at school. It’s the week where a giant yellow bear with an eyepatch robs you of your money just before Christmas so you can’t afford to buy any presents. But it’s a good time and it all goes to charity, so that’s fun. Last year I was on TV because of him. :D

My first exams are next Tuesday. And I have 2. One after the other, with a 10 minute break in between. Geography then French. Ewwwwww….

After that, I have no exams up until the 28th. Once I get my exam timetable I’ll post it, but for now that’s the only 2 exams that I know the times of. Oh yeah and I have another french exam on the 25th. And another on the 12th of December. And another on the 13th. Yay for exams. The good thing is, I aced my last french test (in my eyes anyway) and if you fail the prelim then the last test is what you fall back on. Both the prelim and the last test are used, and the higher of both marks are used. The good thing is, I don’t even have to show up for these exams and I’ll get Credit grades. I love the Scottish education system. :)

That’s all from me, check back later for my report on the best way to eat noodle salad. :)

Three dots as a title. Original eh? :)

Anyway, we didn’t get into Stars In Their Eyes. Which is a half good, half bad thing. It’s good because it means we can relax. It’s bad….well that bit should be self explanatory. :P

Someone, somehow managed to install MyWebSearch Toolbar on Firefox while I was at school today. I don’t know how they managed it because I’m the only person in my family that uses Firefox. I sorted it out though, I deleted all the files etc.

Whenever I can be bothered, I shall go down to the bank, put some money in, and buy some domains, some hosting, and a few bottles of irn-bru. :)

…I still hate Windows. Today I found out that if I install Vista then I will have to manually reinstall XP and rewrite my BIOS. By manually install XP I mean that instead of the install CD putting all the files in the write place, it just dumps them all in one folder and lets me find the right places for all of them, most likely via the command line as I can’t see any other way on how that’s done. o_O

But I’ll install it anyway and try it out. It should be sometime next week that I get it, so I’ll let you all know how that goes. Apparently it’s not too bad, especially compared to previous versions of Windows.

That’s all from me, more another day. :)

2 months!

Filed under: School, Band

It’s been 2 months tonight since my last blog post. I totally forgot about it!

I finished Nineteen Eighty-Four today. So I’m fairly happy about that. :)

As for the web designing, I’m taking it seriously now, and it’s now known as Shadow Eternity web & graphic design. I’ve been getting alot of compliments about it from alot of people, and not biased comments, I mean compliments from people I’ve never met before. Which is really nice and makes me confident about it. I’ll be purchasing the Medium Hosting Plan fromA Small Orange soon, which will give me the space and bandwidth I need at fantastic prices.

In other news, it’s 26 days until my exams, so teachers are really piling the pressure on everyone to study and get good grades.

My band auditioned for Stars In Their Eyes today, a charity concert that my school runs to aid Children In Need. We done really well, so we should get in. If we do, it means we play 3 times, once at night and twice the next day, infront of a total of about 2000+ people with an age range from 12-70+. We find out tomorrow if we’re in. I’ll let you all know. Not that any of you care. :P For those of you who didn’t know, my bands website is www.independentfrequency.tk ; and yes, I’m the crappy web designer that made it. :P It’s in need of a really big update. I’ll get around to that sometime soon.

Anyway, in other news, I hope to make this blog a bit more popular, and maybe post more often. :)
