| POHD-CAHST Series 3 |
[Nov. 23rd, 2009|01:41 pm] |
Series 3 of the chipmusic podcast, containing VIC-20, Master System/Game Gear, Mega Drive [and a spare episode for a requested console/micro] before the podflip correcting everything I did wrong.
Good idea? |

| Random Thought... |
[Sep. 21st, 2009|01:25 pm] |
Considering that I spent last weekend trying out my Oyster Card for the first time, it had me wondering...
- It's Blue
- It's called 'Oyster'
- I'm one of a few that actually like use it
Does that make me a member of the Blue Oyster Cult?
- Don't Fear the Bleeper - |

| Current stream of paranoias |
[Aug. 24th, 2009|01:30 pm] |
Quite a lot of things running through my mind recently, and it's making me quite desperate for solutions that I'm not confident that I'll find. Might as well list them and release them to the public:
( Fears, Issues and Concerns in wonderful Layered Bullet Points )
Just need to vent my issues. Makes me feel a bit better typing them out in this staggered format, as it opens them to debate and opens myself up a bit more. I'm not infallable ;)

Sorry about this, I just want to vent and be able to sleep tonight.
I've just been told that if no job comes my way in the next six months, not only will I be homeless, my parent will too. It's not for want of trying to find a job - in order to get my jobseeker's benefit, I have to prove that I am making an active effort towards finding work. The idea was always supposed to be that when I left university, I'd have got into a graduate programme and trained to standard just in the nick of time before the recession started. I'd make my own way and not rely on anyone else ever again. Now, the 2009 Graduate Programmes are coming up, but they're refusing to take me, since I graduated last year. My own university actively ignores me and only contacts me when they want money for their pipe dream projects.
Don't think I've got a superiority complex, I've actually applied for basic wage retail jobs, but it comes with the same response: "Overqualified". Apply for standard jobs in the sector I want to work for, I get told: "Underqualified". This puts me in a pit, unable to claw my way up either direction to set base and progress from. I've therefore lost the security that a degree is supposed to provide.
I have a small lump sum in my bank account. It's to pay for a room deposit or a few weeks in a hotel while I wait - I'm prepared to throw my hat anywhere the scientific wind takes me, but as of late, I'm confined to wherever the railway tracks can go. That bastard driving instructor, Richard Anderson squeezed and scammed most of the money out of me that was supposed to pay for my future car that would allow me some collateral in the world - I ran out of money, he ran off. I still get nightmares because of him.
Spiritually, this gives me time to reflect. Did I harm someone so badly that I'm being cursed? Who or what is this powerful singularity that placed this scenario against me? I bet they're reading this and laughing.
Six months. Save your cardboard. |

| Lindt Excellence 99% Cocoa Bar |
[Feb. 20th, 2009|01:30 am] |
The time has finally come for my chocolate journey.
Through the past few months, I've tried a large range of chocolate bars, building my way up through the 42% Bournville, to the darkest bar you can buy at Tesco [Cote D'Or 86% Cocoa]. I've trained my tongue to taste the subtle flavours you get with each region - one bar sourced from Africa had all these notes of tobacco and orange, despite none of it being in there at all. You may think this is pointless and silly, but it's an insight into what you eat just as much as wine tasting and terroir is to what you drink.
Rambling aside, I was ready to finish my 'journey' with the last step, Lindt Excellence 99%, but I just noticed a warning printed on the foil surrounding it:
( You have been warned... )
I somewhat feel a bit paranoid, but I'm prepared. If you find me having a seizure on the floor, you now know why ;) |

| LiveJournal RSS relay to Facebook warning |
[Feb. 11th, 2009|09:24 pm] |
Good evening.
For those who are not aware of this, all new entries on this LiveJournal are relayed to my Facebook page via RSS - I do not create separate entries. This has been taken as a measure to expand my readership, and started back in November last year. It has also been done to allow ease of journal update notifications, as notification of new journal entries can be done in the unified 'News' page of their Facebook account.
You are welcome to add me as a Facebook friend - IM or email me to ask for my Facebook name if you don't know it. If you are adding me only for the purpose of gathering LJ updates, you are obliged to tell me this, otherwise I will set an 'ignore' tag on you.
Thank you.

| Yiff Story 4: FURtual Events |
[Jan. 25th, 2009|01:58 am] |
For the furries who enjoyed Chemiluminescence, published this time back in 2006, you're in for a treat. Spike has been attending a furcon, but it's not long before something large overshadows him...
I'll be publishing my latest short story, FURtual Events, at midnight - 27th January. Places you will find it will be deviantArt, FurAffinity and Yiffstar. You are warned however, there's suggestions of sex, but nothing explicit. I had the chance to add something like that to boost the story by 1-2 pages, but it would seriously sour the mood I wanted to set.
UPDATE: It is currently undergoing review - www.yiffstar.com/?pid=74824
Hope you enjoy it.

| The Inaugeration, blah, blah. |
[Jan. 21st, 2009|02:37 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  Obama Llama! | ] |
If I or anyone else does ever look back at this LiveJournal to find out what I was doing at 'The Moment', I can say that I was there.
Watching CNN and Sky News from 3pm to 10pm, I saw the whole event unfold:- The buildup, where reporters were discussing what was more important:
- The fact that the reign of Bush was finally over
- The inaugeration of the first president that had a skin colour that wasn't white or orange
- William Hill put the ultimate solution to consolidating your debts into one easy manageable payment - 1000/1 for an assassination
- Wolf Blitzer was being paid double because he was lead presenter of the inaugeration on CNN, and the event was overrunning into his daily scheduled programme
- Hillary Clinton finally accepted defeat of representing the Democrat Party for the 2008 election
- Michelle Obama was wearing a dress that every woman in the world should be wearing tomorrow. No, really. It's a bill that's going to be passed through Congress tomorrow! You can't evade Mrs O, she's the new Oprah. One day, every small child in a sweatshop will be solely working on copying whatever she wears for the next four years...maybe eight!
- Princess Diana wasn't there to attend it, because that's the only member of the Royal Family that the US knows ;)
- Fox News was holding a day of rememberance and devoted the whole day of broadcasting to showing a slideshow of Bush-Cheney photos.
- OH MY GOD! OBAMA'S BLACK!? Shit, we were so blinded by McCain's black hole of a face that we didn't notice.
- CNN begging everyone to send in photos to compile into that awkward QuickTime 'panorama' image that was whizzy and interesting when they introduced it on every website back in 2001, but is now pretty old hat;
- Bush refusing the chance to do a Prince Charles and lead Obama to the stage with the words 'The stage is yours, Sooty';
- Aretha Franklin doing a wonderful turkey impression while singing 'My Country, 'Tis For Thee'
- ...which by the way is 'God Save The Queen' without the contraband verse about killing Scots.
- The Chief Justice spicing things up for Obama by giving him the wrong Presidential Oath to rehearse the day before;
- Teddy 'Teddy-Eddy' Kennedy showing solidarity by attending the luncheon, just to get Sen. Byrd doing his best to carry on the Kennedy Curse, even if it killed him;
- Obama having to perform improv., pulling his planned speech out of his pocket and instantly pushing it back in as a result of the lack of 2 Senators in the room.
- CNN showing a GPS locator of the motorcade, just to find out it had a precision of 250m;
- Obama walking 1/3 of the way - huge applause;
- Biden walking 1/2 of the way - minor applause;
- The repeat of Harry Hill's TV Burp...oh, wait. That was when I switched over.
Yeah, I was there, watching it on the TV. But this was a 'Man on the Moon' event - anyone in the UK watching it live in 1969 had to get woken up repeatedly by family members because it was a series of small memorable moments drawn..out..over..several..hours..of..live..footage.

| Happy New Year! |
[Jan. 2nd, 2009|03:38 pm] |
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you're enjoying the start of 2009. I have some tasks to complete by the end of this month:
- Completion of 'Yiff Story 4' - it's halfway complete as I type this, but will only contain mature scenes, not adult ones. You have been warned.
- End of 2008 Report - To be started when the story has been finished.
Pokes, questions, messages of 'hurry up' or comments welcome. |
