Wow. Was expecting LJ to have deleted it. Oh well. Er ... Katie is one of the best friends I've ever had. :D New PC: Brand new Case, Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus Motherboard, Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU, ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT Copper Processor Cooler, 4GB 800MHz DDR2 RAM, 3 x 500GB SpinPoint HD501LJ SATA II HDDs set up in RAID 5, EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Graphics Card, Pioneer DVR-115DBK 20x DVD±RW Dual Layer Drive, Corsair VX 550W PSU - 120mm Fan. Hamilton's been driving a bit shit lately. Not happy. I own an 8GB iPod Touch! Yay. It's awesome. People who will know me well will know I slate HP's printers as I thought they were shite. That's until I saw the HP Photosmart C7180 All-In-One Printer. Awesome thing, prints the most amazing photos I've ever seen. It's also a fax machine - anyone fancy sending me a fax? :D Erm, can't think of anything else to put, apart from this: If you want me to post more on this thing, remind me to! I forget otherwise.

Erm... Oops. :E 6 months late, but here goes: If you'll look down my Posts, you'll see that I had an accident at work. Well I'm suing them - and they admitted liability straight away. :D So that's rather cool. Gonna upgrade the PC when it's done. Get an AMD X2 5600+ me thinks. My gf has just laughed at realising I'm making an LJ Post after 6 months of silence... Erm ... Work is ok. Better than Morrisons. I know what I'll type about. It'll probably bore most people, but there might be someone interested in what I'm doing: I'm the CL ('Community Liaison' aka Manager) of Wireplay (A GSP, Gaming Service Providor) Bots (If you have no idea what I'm on about when I say Eggdrop and/or TcL, don't ask) and I'm working on a Script that will give help in a Channel. So let's say that someone types !help in the Channel, the Bot would respond with the Commands avaliable and what those Commands do. Then, when someone types a Command, say for example !cs (Counter Strike), the Bot would reply with something like: (Bot): Wireplay Counter-Strike (Bot): Channels: #channel (Bot): Community Liaison: Person (Bot): Deputy Community Liaison: Person (Bot): Head Admin: Person (Bot): Forum Board: url I'm not totally wonderful when it comes to coding TcL, but (with a little help from a damn good friend known as Deathwith, I don't seem to be doing bad. I'll leave it at that, tbh. Any questions or pressing matters, leave a comment or something. :) Mood: cheerful

Jeez. Today. What. A. Day. I find out that, due to yet another fucking Bank Charge, I've only got £15 in my Account, and I need to keep £5 in there for a Direct Debit that's coming out sometime next week. So I take £10 out. I get on the bus, head off to work. Get in to work and am reminded for the third time by the Fishmonger that I'm doing 12 hours in there next week. "Yes, you've told me THREE times now, I think I can remember. Thanks." Moron. I start Carding. The place is pretty quiet, so it's still pretty tidy, but meh, anything can happen. About an hour afterwards, while I'm Carding one of the Drinks Sections, a regular customer that uses a Motorised Buggy comes up. Now I always ask her if she requires any help, and she almost always accepts - normally me getting her something from the top shelf or something. This time, however, she wants to know if I can carry her 5 Easter Eggs to the checkouts. I agree, pick 5 of them up and head towards the Checkouts. She tells me that she told one of the Supervisors on the Checkouts about how helpful I was, and even pointed me out, and the super realised it was me. I was quite happy about that, it's rare you get complements. Before I get to the Checkouts, however, there's a Callout for me to go to the Personnel Department over the Intercom System. It's rare for people to be called to the Personnel Department unless they are in deep shit, so I was rather confused as to why I'd been called. One of the lads on Trollies & Baskets even asked me why I'd been called. "How the fuck do I know?! I'll tell you when I come back down." So I give the Easter Eggs to another Carder that was walking past, apologise to the Customer who says it's ok. I go to Personnel and the Deputy Assistant Manager is there. So I crapped myself. Luckily, he was only telling me my hours for next week. Thank God for that! I look at the hours and realise I've got Wednesday off ... but one of the other Carders is off that day, another is on Holiday all week & the one that's left is crap and will probably ring in 'sick' anyway. So the Store will have no Carders all day, or one crap one. Wonderful. Thursday is going to be a complete and utter bastard. Lucozade day. I then realise that I'm due to start on the Fish Bar every day at 3PM and go back to Grocery at 6PM (Except Sunday). I normally go on my Lunch at 2:30PM, but I'll have to go at 2PM and have my Break as soon as I finish with the fishies next week. So, I'm on Grocery and I'm Carding away when there's a commotion at the Checkouts and a lot of Managers are called. Now there's normally only two reasons for this:
- Someone's been stealing, and on being pounced on and caught, have gone nuts
- The Credit/Debit Card system has died and they are all having to do it manually
The latter applies this time. Apparently BT screwed up the Secure Connection. Shit happens. This caused HUGE queues, so big that they went up whole isles! People were dumping stock everywhere and just leaving due to them. Just leaving trollies there, £1 included. Well funny. :D They managed to get it sorted in the end, and the queues went down after a while. Reason 987: Huge long queues when someone b0rks up the Tills or the Credit/Debit Card System. More Reasons to NOT shop at Morrisons. While the system was down I was dragged from Carding to Trollies, which knackered me out as there were NONE when they snatched me. So I got a late Break. :| Meh, I don't mind much. I go to a mates and give him some Jaffa Cakes. Hey, they are nice. (I've just realised something too. Jaffa Cakes, Jaffa from Stargate... Spooky) I go to someone else's house and sort out their dodgy BIOS. I go home to find that I've had two more Power cuts, but there's a note stuck in my letter box - they've found the fault. How? There was SMOKE coming out of the ground! The area around it is soaked, giving me the impression that water was slung all over the place once the power was shut off at the local SubStation. I'm predicting more power cuts - there are two holes at the smoke site, but at least the problem's been found so we can be given an ETA of repair. That's about it. Not bad for one day, eh? :P In other news... Got a replacement BT Hub. The 'old' one had stuff rattling in it when I got it, and the Wireless packed in after a while. Luckily, the Hub has 2 Ethernet Ports and they worked spot on. After getting the new one, it worked a treat, thankfully. Seems the Fusion is still having problems with tex messages thou. And I still can't Connect my Nintendo DS to it, which annoyed me. Now this'll come as a shock: I HAVE A DOUBLE BED!!!!111Yes! Would you believe it? Dead comfy too. :D Sold one of the dogs I'm looking after to an ex-gf. Everything seems to be ok. I'm currently trying to sort out Wireplay Radio, and want ideas from people. If you have anything you'd like to suggest, please Click Here to go to the Wireplay Radio Forum.I now have 1657 songs. Yes. And that's about it. Goodnight. Mood: cheerful

And I will post a new one on each reply to a 'Thought' (Comment) I get. So if you want to see the rest of them, GIVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS ENTRY! :P If you don't, then stfu. For your information, the squirrel in the picture is Pillz-E, from Ill WiLL PreSS. BT seem to be ok Broadband wise, I've had no problems apart from a small speed decrease, but that may have either been Windows being a twat, or the BT Hub having a hiccup. The problem is with Fusion. When Connected via Fusion - as in, Connected to the BT Hub via Bluetooth - I can't send nor receive tex messages of any kind. BT are aware of this and are trying to find out why, but it's annoying as I'd like to be Connected to Fusion automatically when I get home, and use that, but then not get any tex messages until I either leave the house, or go on to 'Mobile Only Mode'. So I'm having to leave it on Mobile Only Mode for now, and Connect to Fusion when I want to make a call from home. I hope BT find a fix, and bloody soon. Work is still shit. I had to go on the bloody Fish Bar again today. :/ Oh well. I've got just short of 2 weeks of Trollies & Baskets, which I much prefer to Fish. Sorry for the short Post, but I'm off to bed. I'll just leave you this: A friend forwarded me a stupid, fake, lame, 'MSN is closing / charging you unless you forward this to x people' shit e-mail. I sent a pretty cool reply. If you want to see what it was, ask. Goodnight. Mood:  tired

This is one of those rare times when I decide to open up my 'private bottle' of shit that I like to keep private and under wraps.
I was watching Stargate SG1 Season 1 episode 6 called Cold Lazarus. I won't go through the whole thing, but basically it was very emotional at the end as one of the main characters who's had relationship problems is seen hugging his wife dearly while speaking about their relationship and possibly sorting it out. If you want more info, ask me later.
Normally at 'sad., soppy scenes' I might get a little wet eye, but this time I burst into tears.
Why?
Joanna. My beautiful wonderful gorgeous perfect angel of love.
I'm in the UK. She's God knows how many miles away in Poland. I wish she was here. I'd do almost anything to have her here.
The saying that the heart grows fonder in absence is correct. Very painfully correct.
I have cried all while typing this. I'm sat here at 6AM and all I want is her. Nothing else.
This is the time when I wish I could afford to go and see her. When I wish I wasn't in such a shit job. When I wish that something could go right for me for a change.
Every second of every day that she's not here I worry that she'll find someone else, or get sick of the distance. Every second I worry that I'll get a phone call, tex, e-mail or IM telling me that she doesn't want to be with me anymore. Everyday I prey that it never happens, and am ever so happy when I go to bed knowing we're still together, in the relationship, but worried about the next day.
Maybe I shouldn't be so paranoid, but no-one has ever made me so happy like she has. The time she's spent here with me has been the happiest I've ever been.
When I see her on the coach to head back to Poland, to leave the UK for any number of months, so that we are thousands of miles away from each other again is the most painful thing I've ever felt. I've never cried so hard in all my life.
She sent me 3 Valentine's cards. She couldn't decide which of the three she liked best, so she got all three. Then left the best Valentine messages I've ever had on all three. I'm worried that the card I got for her isn't enough.
No-one has ever made me so happy. No-one has ever made me think about them so much. No-one has ever made me cry this bad over them. Until now.
I've never loved anyone so much in all my life. I just hope this relationship stays as it is. I hope Joanna stays with me for as long as I live. I want to stay with her for as long as she lives.
And Joanna, I'd like to apologise for the arguments we had while you were here. I'm obviously happy that we managed to sort them and stay together. I thank you with all my heart for that.
I love you with all my heart, soul and mind. You are my rock. You are part of what makes me live. I love you so very much.
Matthew. xxx

"The second problem is still unfixed as of yet. (The second problem being my Nintendo DS not being able to Connect to the Hub as it's only working on Wireless G, not B as the DS supports.) I'm going to ring BT when the open and find out what's going on." I did tell BT, but the response I got was far from what I wanted. " We'll look into it, but don't expect anything to come from it" Yeah, thanks BT. Fuck you too. So I found out that a company called Inventel make the BT Hubs and sent them off this e-mail: " The Hub only seems to support Wireless G - I want to play my Nintendo DS Online (which only supports Wireless B) as I used to do so using a Linksys Wireless Gateway which supported both B and G.
Can a Firmware be realised so that the Hub can support both Wireless G and B please?
Thank you." The reply I got was this: " Hello
The BT Hub can work in 802.11b and 802.11g
What is the error message ?
Best regards" Happy to hear that the BT Hub's Hardware supports Wireless G AND B, I sent them a reply: " The DS finds the Wireless fine, but is unable to Connect to it. Upon reading
www.nintendowifi.com, I found this is this probably 'cos the Wireless is on
G only.
If you say the Hardware of the BT Hub supports Wireless B, then could it
possibly be a Firmware issue? There's no option on the internal Web Server
of the BT Hub to set G/B/G & B.
Thanks." So, let's see what comes of this, shall we? I may be able to play Mario Kart DS Online after all, without having to shell out for a Wireless Gateway that Supports Wireless B. Work is still being the biggest shit ever. I could Post another huge rant, but since I want to go to bed in 10 mins from now, I won't have the time. Basically, I left the Fish Bar in a not-so-complete manner Thursday night, as I'd been running late due to being left with alot of stuff to do from 11:30AM ON MY BLOODY OWN. Friday afternoon when I turn up I get a rant from the Department Manager! I felt like telling him to fuck himself and walking out. I didn't, obviously, but I damn well felt like it. He went home at about 4:30PM ish, maybe a bit later, and left me with a whole bloody fridge drawer full of whole fish to prepare and wrap. On my own. While having to serve customers, and everything else in a Fish Bar. I was going to stay there as long as it took, make the place look spotless, yet still clock out when my shift finished. I didn't thou, the Duty Manager told me to leave, as it wasn't my fault the Dept Manager had left all that work to me. I still didn't get out until 11PM thou when I was supposed to finish at 8:30PM. And I can easily predict that when I walk in at 10:30AM this morning I'll get yet more moaning. And my reply? "Duty Manager told me to go, last day on here, if you don't like it I'll go back to Grocery for the day" (I'm on the Car Park most of next week) So yeah. And on Monday I'm handing in a note requesting that they destroy my Fish Bar "training" and that I never be put on the Department ever again unless it's a dire emergency, and even then if someone else can do it, they do it. I'm sick of the whole fucking thing. Now Car Park, on the other hand, is piss easy. I don't get laden with work 3 people should do in 4 hours. Hell, I can even read in the Booth, which is good as I have a 5 book backlog... Anyway, it's 4AM, and I've gotta be up for 9:30AM to get ready for my 'bollocking'. One thing's for sure, if they even DARE shove me in the office for a disciplinary I'll so walk out. They can NOT shove the blame on me when I was 1. HELPING THE FUCKING STORE 2. HELPING THE FUCKING DEPARTMENT 3. HELPING THE DEPT MANAGER So, keep watching to see what happens... Mood: sleepy

I found out, after a half an hour call to BT (which was thankfully free) that for some reason the order was a "Migration from PIPEX to BT Broadband Option 3 with a Downgrade to 1MB". Why in the living fuck of Hell would I Downgrade my Internet Speed?! Anyway, the lady on the phone has sent off an 'order' to get it re-graded, with zero cost to myself. Win! :D Oh, and Breath knows I'm on BT. He didn't seem to mind much, which was pretty sweet, as he was stood next to me drinking alcohol when I told him. I was expecting him to bottle me. ssmmdd.
UPDATE!!
Sorted! :D
I'm now Connected at 2MB (Click here to see the Status page on my BT Hub.)

I've sent it to spoof@paypal.com so that they can look into it. For all I know it could be 2 years old, but it's the first time I've seen it, so I thought I'd best warn you. The link goes to http://karims.com.mx but uses a :81 to force the browser to use Port 81 on the Server. There's a bit more to it as well, but you can bollocks if you think I'm copying the whole link. I've Bolded spelling errors on it, and you know it's come from the US as Centre is spelt with 'er' at the end. Right, that's all for now. Mood: accomplished

If you're reading this on your Friend's Page, click the link to see it on my LJ page - I've had a complete makeover of my LJ, as I thought the old one was boring. Could you please leave me your thoughts on it? Thanks. I've also bought 12 months' worth of LJ Paid Account usage time, so I could change stuffage and stuff. Hey, LJ rocks, I personally think it deserves it. That and it was only £15. Now, updates from my last Post: As I told you, my Linksys Wireless Gateway was fucked. Well, in a moment of bordemness, I decided to take it apart. And I did. If you're interested to see just what the inside of a Wireless Gateway/Router looks like, then ask me and I'll Upload some pictures to show everyone. Although, thinking about that, would Linksys slap me across the face for doing that? Oh well. I'd Host them until Linksys did bitch, then I'd take them down. The first little problem I had with the BT Hub has, for some unexplainable reason (there's not been a Firmware Upgrade, I checked) started working perfectly. The first problem was "The Hub has the ability to 'update' DynDNS/No-IP what my Current IP is, without me doing anything. (My old Linksys Gateway was also able to do the same thing) However, the Hub doesn't do anything, always thinking that the current IP is correct. (The Linksys did it without problems)" The second problem is still unfixed as of yet. (The second problem being my Nintendo DS not being able to Connect to the Hub as it's only working on Wireless G, not B as the DS supports.) I'm going to ring BT when the open and find out what's going on. I'm also going to ask them wtf's going on with my Broadband Fault. While having a poke around the Hub's Configuration Pages, I had a look on the 'System Information' Page. I found, to my horror, that I was Connected to the Internet at | | Downstream | Upstream | | Rate (kbps) | 1152 | 288 |
The cheeky bastards! So I called BT and asked them what speed they had me down for on their Systems, which they said was 2MB. Upon telling them the Hub was Connecting at 1MB, they put me through to Faults, who have Logged the Fault: There is an open fault on this line |  |
| | | Telephone number | Private, fuck you | Date reported | 02 Feb 2006 | | Reference number | Private, fuck you | Date completed | Not completed yet |
| | | | | Fault status | Your fault is waiting to be issued to a BT engineer who will fix the fault shortly. If you need to contact us before then, please call 0800 800 151, or 0800 800 154 if you are a business customer. As one of BT's promises to its customers, our engineers do whatever it takes to keep an appointment. | | | | Results of fault diagnosis | The problem is likely to be in your property. | | It could be an equipment problem that you can solve yourself or it could be a line problem, which we'll need to fix for you. | | | |
|
In my property my fat arse. If PIPEX gave me 2MB without any problems, so can you, or so God help me I'll go to every damn newspaper in the area and bitch. They've had FOUR days, and I've had nothing. It still says they are waiting for a BT engineer to 'fix' it. FIX WHAT?! So I'm going to fucking moan at them. It's probably something at the Exchange tbh. Fusion works fine thou, but with only 1MB to play with, it does slow the Internet down a touch. That's all the updates from the last post. Now, to rant about something else. I seem to be ranting alot lately, but I have a lot of shit to rant about, and seeing as I've had one of the worst Sundays that I can remember, it deserves a fucking rant. And guess what I'm going to rant about. That's right! Morrisons. Yes, that place of evil that pisses me off without even trying. God help them if they ever tried to piss me off. Saturday. I find out from the Deputy Store Assistant Manager halfway through that busy day that I'm in the Car Park on Sunday. Ok with me, I'll read a book, take around £60-80, good day's work for time & ½. Then the Fish Bar Full Timer tells me that I'm in the Fish Bar on Sunday. Rather annoyed, and uncertain of what the fuck I'm doing on Sunday, I head off to bitch at Mr. Assist Dept Store Manager. He says that I'll start on Car Park, then go on to Fish Bar. Wonderful. THEN I find out I've been placed on the Fish Bar all next week 'cos the Full Timer's on Holiday next week. Which didn't half piss me off. So, I get up early, as I have to when I start in the Car Park. Due to shitty buses on a Sunday, I have to get on a Bus an HOUR before I start work to get there for half past so I can be in the Car Park for 10-to the hour. If I get the only next bus, ½ an hour later, I walk in the store with 5 mins to get ready. That's of course, when it's on time. I stroll in the Store 30 mins before I'm due to start, heading off to the Canteen for a well needed cup of tea when Mr. Assist Dept Store Manager tells me I'm not in the Car Park ... 'cos the normal Sunday Fish Bar STUDENT called in fucking sick. So, rather fucked off by now for coming in 30 mins earlier for nothing, and spending the next 8 days on a smelly, shitty Fish Bar that I can't stand working on, can't stand working with the Staff, I start heading off towards the Canteen. A callout for me. To contact Mr. Assist Dept Store Manager. I sigh, and mentally note to kill him at some point or other. He tells me to sign in and go into the Car Park until 11, when another lad can take me off so I can go in to that fucking Fish Bar (Ok, so he didn't swear). I was very close to telling him to get fucked, but decided against it, so just slammed down the phone and got ready. Goes into the Car Park. 11AM comes and goes. I wonder wtf's going on. It hits 25 mins past, and Mr. Assist Dept Store Manager brings someone else down to take me off - I've just got to teach the poor bastard how to run the place before I go. (The lad that was supposed to take me off, I discover later, was an hour & ½ late. Idiot.) So, after 5 mins of teaching, I depart for the Fish Bar. Now this is where it gets bad. I've never got on with the Fish Bar Full Timer as I don't like his attitude & how he speaks to me. What makes it worse is that, as he thought he wasn't in for a week, he went out and drowned himself in alcohol. ALOT of alcohol. And got zero sleep. So he's stood in front of me, swaying, half asleep and moaning. I thought he was bad when he was sober and awake, but Jesus fucking Christ, did he push me to the limit of tolerance. Really fucked me off. I was all for chucking the knives at him and leaving, if I didn't need the money. The sooner I leave that place, the better. I've been there 3 months and I'm ready to break someone's teeth. More reasons to shop at Morrisons? More reasons never to work at Morrisons. Anyway, enough bitching about that place. I can't be arsed to search through my other LJ posts, but have I ever put anything about 'Fact Finders', Scanning shopping, stuff like that? I'd also like to add that the books on 'A Touch Of Frost' are fucking fantastic books, (holy fuck, I just had to correct the typo 'boobs') you should read them, superb engrossing stuff. Leave your thoughts, please? Thank you. :) Right, on that note, I'm off. Goodnight. ssmmdd. Mood:  annoyed

This is probably going to piss Breath off something rotten too, if he actually ever reads my LJ.
I didn't stay with PIPEX. I went with BT. Option 3, to be honest. But at the same time, I signed up to 'BT Fusion'. For three reasons:
1. You get a spanky new Motorola RAZR V3. For free. Win.
2. Not having a Cordless phone was driving me up the fucking wall.
3. They gave me a new Wireless Router. They call it a BT Hub. My old Linksys WAG54G Gateway was fucked.
I'm not going to explain how it works on here. There's a reason why I linked to it above. Saves me typing 16 lines about it.
Got the Hub, Phone, yadeyadeya. The phone worked on the 'Mobile' part (BT Mobile is a Virtual Network, they piggyback on Vodafone's Network) without any problems, which was cool.
Couldn't plug the Hub in until my Broadband had been Migrated, which was yesterday (it being at the time of typing 3:48PM Wednesday morning). Plugged it in, phone Connected to it within seconds, Broadband Connected within seconds, cheap calls on a mobile. Gotta love Bluetooth.
There are just a few niggling little problems with the BT Hub. which I plan on letting BT know when I crawl out of bed:
1. The Hub has the ability to 'update' DynDNS/No-IP what my Current IP is, without me doing anything. (My old Linksys Gateway was also able to do the same thing) However, the Hub doesn't do anything, always thinking that the current IP is correct. (The Linksys did it without problems)
2. My Nintendo DS is unable to Connect to the Hub. I think it's because the DS only works on Wireless 'B' Networks, and the Hub is set to Wireless 'G' and can't be changed. I want both enabled. Or I will be forced to brutally murder all of BT. Of just go to the Leeds Head Office and scream blue murder. (It happily connected to the Linksys ... once I set it to B & G)
What surprised me was that the BT Hub seems to be able to support Wireless G Turbo. Which is crazy, coming from BT. Have they finally realised they need to give decent Hardware to keep their customers, get new ones and get back their old ones? Apart from a few niggling Firmware issues (listed above), the Hub is superb, much better than the Linksys. I'd usually get a Connection speed of 48mbps and a Connection Quality of 'Very Good' on Windows, and that was with the aerial sticking around the corner so it had a 'perfect line of sight'. The Hub has a built in aerial, is behind a wall, and I've had nothing but 54mbps / Excellent signal. It also allows Port 113 (Auth/Ident) which the Linksys never did. My jaw is still laying on the floor somewhere, but I'd best find it soon before one of the dogs does.
Anyway, it's gone 4AM now and I want to be up early enough to speak to BT and get my ass to work.
By the way, I love this song.
ssmmdd. Mood: disappointed
