Geekery

The two things have nothing in common other than I’ve discussed them both with people online in the past 24 hours. Yesterday myself and Meg had a heated discussion with a fellow member of #foad (on Efnet IRC- Shameless plug for my wee little channel) about bullfighting. He was telling us how he’d gone to the bullfights the previous weekend …

So Bo didn’t win American Idol. Deep down I kind of knew it would go this way but I still hoped. Can’t say Carrie doesn’t deserve it though.. she’s quite talented. I was so excited about downloading the final episode today. Two whole hours of anticipation (or boredom, if it was just more of Ryan’s stalling tactics rather than actual …

I think I remember saying quite a while ago that if I disappear to send out search parties.. where the hell are they? .. and here I thought you people cared about me! This is probably the biggest gap I’ve ever had in my blogging but every time I thought about writing one I went “Meh.. I’ll do it later”. …

Today is Bailey’s birthday, he’s two! Three sleeps until I turn 30.. only three days left of my twenties. I hope to god my thirties don’t go by as quickly! Seven sleeps until Xander and I have been married for 5 years. We don’t have any big plans for any of these occasions. For our anniversary we already bought tickets …

Ever wonder what it’s like where I live? I found this website while chatting with a friend and looking for photos of Rotterdam. There’s lots of pictures from around the city on there, was a pretty good find. Stephanie voted off Survivor.. not like I couldn’t see it coming but I know Tom is next and then there’s really nobody …

For some reason for the past few days I’ve had the gaming itch again. That’s what I call it when I start missing my MMORPG’s* and feel like playing again. So many friends have been telling me about World of Warcraft and how great it is. I’ve been avoiding it because when I used to game a few years ago …

MmmMmmm… I LOVE my new ADSL!!!!

I knew it was bound to happen once I started using a blogging program but it didn’t frustrate me any less. Today I woke up to a pile of mails alerting me of all these comments and trackbacks to my blog. WHOO! I thought, people have been posting on my blog! Then I realized they were all from “me” and …

Yesterday our speed was cut by our ISP (Chello). When I spoke to them on the 9th the guy I was speaking with told me that if I called back if we were cut off, that it could be reset. I phoned yesterday and got this guy, and I told him what the guy before him said. His response was …

Yesterday, after a painful 24 hours of non-downloading, we checked our data stats on the datagebruik.chello.nl site. It said we had used another 2 gigs, which is bullshit. I phoned them and they gave some lame excuse about someone probably using our wireless, which we told them wasn’t true because we have it fully secured. I guess it was asking …

I got my new hard disk yesterday! 200 gigs just waiting to be filled with downloaded movies, tv shows, music and whatever else I manage to get my mits on. I was so excited! I couldn’t wait for Xander to get home to put it in my computer! He came home and told me we got an email from our …
