Ding-Dong santa's dead!

Hahaha.
Very original - and so very, very true!

Sorry I haven't posted again fella's - been a bit busy having a week off work and so I've been cleaning, organising, playing the guitar, eating... Well, mostly the last two - but you get my drift!

Last night for instance, I was up looking over what my Fedora 7 laptop had installed - doing basic maintenance
- and noticed that for some reason rpm (one program which says what's installed if you're not into linux)
reported wine as not being installed (it is and was).
I rebuilt
the database just incase - but it occurs to me that there should be a backup shouldn't there? By default.

I do a 'yum list |grep installed > installed.txt' or 'rpm -qa > installed.txt' which allows me to see what is installed on a system and lets me restore the programs just fine without too much hassle.

I've been writing a little bit to my story - hopefully I'll have something to put up in the next year for that one. I am trying to come up with 'short story' ideas - I do have one or two which I may be able to grow.
Those will most likely be put up on here in the next month or two.

Until my next post..

Am I like the guys painting our carpark?

So I was walking back to work after lunch today, and luckily managed to dodge some kids on bikes as they looked quite mean, then this thought can across my mind as I walked into our carpark:
"What the HELL are those guys doing?"

For the last month we've had guys in digging up half of our carpark, and supposedly ready and willing to bring down our cafeteria at a moments notice, but what have they been doing I hear you ask:
they were painting the road!

So I have been passing them every day with jack-hammers, pouring concrete and dust etc, for them to put back the NORMAL concrete which matches what was there before, and the only difference is that now we have a nice zebra crossing along the middle of our car park and one part has those hazard yellow lines to stop people parking there!

So I was a bit busy at work organizing bits and pieces, but essentially I got into the deep and meaningful question of "am I just a road painter?". Do I seemingly dig up the road, but after all that work only end up with a new coat of black and white paint as my contribution to things?

I don't think so, but I guess it's something to think about!
Meanwhile this video (song) rocks:

My guitar playing is slightly improved! I'm hitting a few notes easier, and I'm remembering the start to some small unknown (but pretty!) tunes.
From here on it's pretty much slugging it through repetition until my fingers get used to positions, switching faster and stuff.

Byes..

Of luck and... stuff

So, I really wanted my first entry of note to be about something moving... Or deep... Or deeply moving!
Instead, I wake up from a hangover having vague memories about the evening before where I was a king-pin bowler and successfully impressed all my co-workers.

This was all an illusion of course!

I actually only just got into the place after having no ID, drank my own body weight in spirits, made obscene jokes and got us lost in the cab ride home.

All in all it was a good night out though, and I paid the price today which got me wondering:
Why must it always be sunny when you have a hangover?

As soon as I was able to walk, and mumble - which was after the usual praying to the porcelain god - I found myself at the local shops, grumbled at the clerks and grabbed my pain killers - all the time thinking of why there wasn't a damn cloud in the sky after it'd been cloud-covered all during the week!

So here's looking forward to the next booze night :) .

Oooo, new shoes!?

OK, so this is a new blog huh?

I don't have long at the moment, but I will be posting again tomorrow with some stuff and whatsits.
My plans for this blog are:

• Post Poetry and small story segments.
• Post ideas.
• Post opinions.
• Post small weekly events.
• Post good links to other parts of the web.

.. And quite frankly what else would you like in a blog?
