Apologies if anyone saw that!
Well done leet hackers, can you email me to tell me how you accomplished the feat of uploading a single .html page to my site? Skills beyond my comprehension probably so don’t bother!

I’ve been messing around with the theme switcher hopefully I’ve got all the bugs out of it (i.e default and classic themes being unable to switch!) I’m still undecided on which theme I like best. I’m fairly sure it’s not Seven though because it only shows one post on the main. I like the Simpsons one and Flush too actually. In fact I might do a random theme thing so it’ll just pick whatever one, or would that suck?

How’s this for a nice 35 pointer…

I’ve realised I’ve never really blogged about IRC. I don’t know why either. So here goes.
I’ve been using IRC since I first got on the internet and after a few weeks of surfing the ‘net began to wonder “where is everyone else?” Innes mentioned some program called mIRC and gave me a copy to toy around with. I was hooked after my first day. At the time mIRC was set to default to the DALnet network. mIRC was the largest windows IRC client so DALnet was the largest IRC network. This has since changed though so now more of the other networks get a better look in. The website NetSplit has loads of IRC related stats for the more anal amongst you! I like the smaller networks however (less assholes!)
One of these great networks is the WyldRyde IRC Network which I have recently joined as part of my BlogShares journey. IRC and these smaller networks in particular are a great place to “meet” folks from all around the globe to discuss any and all subjects. I’m obviously using the blogshares channels at the moment but even within that there are many levels of discussion. Plus if you are using mIRC you can pretty much entirely customise it. I write my own scripts but there are millions of other’s available too.

I mentioned in my last post about blogshares, well, I’m taking part in a competition on it by the 23,000 chippies corporation. A part of this is to blog about the competition.
The whole 23 thing is run by Rantz, an offbeat ozzie 
who has a fixation with all things 23, annoyingly this is also the 23rd competition he’s run so I reckon he’s beside himself with excitement. 
I took part in the last competition in their IRC Channel and what a laugh it was. It was fastest fingers first(generally a guy called Ken) to answer Rantz’s bizarre questions, one example:
Question: H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O
Answer : Water
It was nevertheless strangely addictive and I sat up until after 4 one morning answering them! The big prize this time is 23,000 chips. Chips in blogshares are used for many things, personally I sell them for B$ cash, as each chip is worth over B$25,000,000 at the moment. That cash is handy to buy up shares in blogs and “tools” for takeovers and things. Well this post only needed to be 150 words so I’m gonna stop now! Thanks for reading and get onto blogshares NOW!

Anyone wanna go through my blog for me and tell me why it never loads? I mean you can see all the content and everything, but it never stops loading. What’s up with that? Is it just me or does it do this to everyone?

[edit] It only seems to happen on the main page, not the idividual pages, so hopefully (if it’s something in a post) it’ll eventually scroll off into obscurity.
I’ve been called for jury duty at the high court. That rocks. I can’t wait for it, I’ve been eager to do it since turning 18. I don’t know why. Perhaps it’s feeling that I am contributing somehow, dunno.
In other news… the insurance company got back to me about the bump at the Haudagain Roundabout. They decided on a 50-50 split since “neither party had an independent witness.” I wonder what happened to Barry’s I guess he wasn’t as independent as he made out. Or maybe the fact I told them about the cameras cancelled his witness out. Either way I’m reasonably happy with that outcome, since he didnt get away with the blatant lies. Must be karma.
I’ve also started on BlogShares. This game kicks ass. I own all the blogs on ABZ, well, some of them. I’m a billionaire and I’ve only been playing for a couple of weeks! Go there, claim your blog and get started!
Also I found the theme chooser thing so it’s at the top of the sidebar in each theme i’ve installed, have fun! (I quite like the ultraviolet theme)

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!
