Update 1. re: another site of mine.
I’ve finally gotten round to begin updating my scripts site, which I’ve been neglecting for way too long. Today I’ve threw on an updated WP, Download counters, brand new theme(which rocks so much it might well be finding it’s way here soon, let’s face it, y’all are bored with the orangesky now aren’t ya!(don’t forget you can change that with the theme switcher–>))
Now that brings my ‘blog’ total to 10 I think, if you count the micro-blogs(twitter/jaiku/multiply etc).

Update 2. re: Next door’s imminent sale.
The traffic(or lack of) has been back to normal today, I wonder if they’ve taken the house off the market. Though it doesn’t say it’s off the market. I wonder who’ll move in…
Update 3. re: Aberdeen Freecycle.
Aberdeen Freecycle totally rocks! I bagged a colour laser printer yesterday. Normally I’m last in the queue for those things as I get the daily digest not the individual emails. Score!

I just spent the morning trawling through site after site looking for information on how to get a CD ROM visible as a boot device on Catty’s laptop, a Sony VAIO FPS115E, apparently. Everywhere reckons it can’t be done however….
Pressing F2 into the BIOS on start-up and navigating to the Boot tab gives us the options, something like floppy,optical,HD and network. CD ROM isn’t there, however, placing the hard disk as the last boot device(highlight the disk and press “-” until it’s at the bottom) then pressing the N key, then the D key, makes the system look for “devices not yet installed” or something.
This seems to make the CD bootable.
Now, I’m off to finish installing Linux on it…..

Not that anyone noticed but I was AFK for a few weeks there. I had server troubles again, which kinda sucks. If anyone’s tried to email me in the last 3 or 4 weeks, chances are I didn’t get it. I’m not being ignorant!
On the up-side to this though I’m on a new server with a new host. Just the act of moving server has enabled the —-> now playing thing, to work. Thanks neepheid for all your help, it seems it was the pureftp on the old server to blame.
I’ve had to move the stuff onto this server from the last backup, which was 22nd June so anythign since then I’d posted has also bitten the dust and I can’t be bothered to find it at google!

I’ve reactivated my link in ABZblogs at the expense of the plumbing blog’s listing.
It had been administratively disabled while the site was offline and rather than be greedy with two blogs on there I changed the plumbing blog listing to point here and left the other listing disabled.
I think this is the best option since I’ve not been updating the plumbing blog for with me being off work atm. It’s still accessible from the links on here and various other places around the interwebs.
I don’t know why I didn’t move to wordpress earlier, it’s a fair bit better than blogger so far, I did tinker with it before but nothing came of that. I was toying with b2evolution and Nucleus but wordpress won out. I’ll need to learn some css though cause I can’t for the life of me find out how to make blank lines show up in other pages(About), I can put as many <br>s or <p>s in as i like but nothing.
Stupid theme.

ps incidentally i was going to use the random image theme since it’s kick ass, then I noticed sticker is using it…the swine
[edit] never mind about the linebreak issues, got them fixed with a new download of page.php from the authors web update. (link)[/edit]

I’ve uploaded all my old content from blogger to http://oldblog.the-kid.org if you are looking for any past posts, since the importing into wordpress only brough 25 from the RSS Feed(It cant sign in to new blogger, eugh)
Lots of links are broken due to me not uploading everything to the new server yet, and I probably won’t unless it’s particularly annoying.
Hopefully I will lose some of the nikki.jpg and kiss.jpg hits in the process! lol
I’ll add a link over there too, so this doesn’t get lost —>

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…
