To add to the problems IXWebHosting has provided for me, my account is suspended. Luckily, this, my backup blog and the blog that I used to work around their FTP issues, still works. Hopefully this is only temporary, because I love the quasiblog.net domain, and I love having it so accessible. Plus, everyone knows that one, no one knows this. I'll have to point them in the direction of it.
Though it does mean that when I publish this post, I won't have to do that FTP stuff that makes me so bored and sleepy.
Speaking of sleepy, I am. And thus this post won't be long.
Both Kiana and Emma come back from their respective holidays tomorrow. I should seriously clean. I have restarted my Free Weekly planner, I find it very useful to go day by day, more so than Google Calendar or my Phone Calendar. I shall use it from projects, like projects I'm planning or the like.
I have received a lot of indirect praise for my blog recently. Firstly from the people who have told me that they have read my blog from start to finish in one sitting (which is impressive seeing as I never shut up which happens a lot as I sometimes just keep typing and don't finish sentences and sometimes make paragraphs too long so that they become incoherent and that I often write thousands of words and sometimes I don't even space it out with a comma or punctuation orspacesandsometimesitsjustonebigword). But reading all of this blog is an achievement, and I have learnt of two people who have done it. And I extend my thanking arm to them.
Also, the amount of people who have contacted me about my site being down is flattering. I had no idea that people cared. I kinda feel like my site outlived Dan's though, which went down a while ago.
Well, I apologise to my legions of female adorers who were expecting a long post, and congratulate you on finding the blog at this address (unless you're reading this on my normal page and then you suck). The sun is rising. I'm meeting Kiana at the station tomorrow, and I have been tired out from all the N64 Emulation going on, and all the Flickr posting. I hope you all forgive me and join me for a far more in depth post coming very soon.
It's not like you're missing out, I've just sat on the sofa watching XMen for days.

Shocking Revelations
Considering that I do not have a serious hobby and I do not spend large amounts of time getting drunk and partying and that I do relatively little work to obtain my degree, I have rather a lot of time on my hands. This time lets me think, and I think a lot about life, and what it means. Maybe I enjoyed Philosophy too much at school, but I find the topic of life and what it entails to be interesting, and the topic of who I am is just as interesting. So much so, that I have been exploring who I am of late, and finding out new things along the way. Last night, I believe I found certain solutions to many problems that I have, and while not a complete be all and end all to my issues, could be what I have been looking for for the past few weeks.
More on that when I learn more about it.
You know what blogs are for? It's the whole sharing of links, sharing of information, stuff like that. I have been reading about how sharing of links has lead to con-men and dishonest people have been brought to social justice by their technical ineptitude, and it's quite beautiful. I like to think that if I were to ever stoop to levels of deceit and dishonesty, I'd be able to cover some tracks and not give the person I was ripping off ample ammunition to take me down.
Stolen T-Mobile Sidekick
A very classy and charming young lady comes into possession of a lost phone and struggles in choosing the right thing to do.
eBay's Broken Laptop
An honourable and decent gentleman sells his laptop on eBay, and of no fault of his own he forgot that the laptop did not work and forgot to clear the hard drive.
This is hardly a torrent of visitors, but it gets its share of regulars every so often, and I hope that they amuse themselves with these websites that thrive on people's sense of justice. They kinda make you feel angry and feel good at the same time, and some people have equated it to an internet mob lynching, with no real death or anything like that.
Kiana moved in to my house two days a go. She has a lot of stuff, and I hurt my back with it, but it's good to have her close. I'm looking forward to next year when everyone is back and a routine begins again. Though I will miss Housei when he's gone.
Speaking of which... I have to say hello to Natasha. She keeps complaining that I'm missing her out of my blog. Well, I care about you darling, so don't you worry. I'll mention you in the next post or something.
Oh, oh... I do get to update you on Carlos and Stacey and Mandy's house situation. I saw Carlos and Mandy at Southlands yesterday, and they informed me that they are no longer living in Kingston, they are now living across the road from me. I have to say, this is excellent news. I was worried for a bit, but this makes things a lot easier. It's only a shame that Sam is now missing out. Hopefully it all won't be too disruptive. I should find out what's going on though.
I don't know what's happening. Things haven't been this vague since... like... ages ago.
The other day, Kaori gave me a big bag of goodies with presents for everyone inside shipped directly from Katou. I got a Gundam model! Which, although I haven't built any models in many years, not since I was in Canada, I am excited to have. It should be fun. I also got this little snack called Nerunerunerune, and I swiped the Ramune flavoured one. You mix this dust with water and stir then dip in candies, it's all so sugary and delicious. I am very grateful to Katou and Kaori for those wonderful gifts.
Tonight I met with Ellie for the first time in over a year. We keep bumping into each other but we never get to talk, and it's so tragic. But we went for a meal and we ate sushi (my first sushi in over 6 months) and had a long decent chat about what has happened to us in the past year. It seems the same thing happens to many people when it comes to housemates, and she is also moving out of her house to go to new accommodation. Not on campus though (shock). It was good to learn the fate of my last years flat mates, and to know what has been going on around Whitelands.
Half Life 2: Episode 1 was released. I love everything Half Life. I played and completed all the add on packs for Half Life, and now I am seeing these new expansions for HL2. I'm playing it on the Normal mode as well. I almost always play on easy, but this time I'm going the harder way. Anyway, I've started and I'm finding it pretty frightening. Long dark corridors with an ever fading flashlight and short fused flares, it's tense. I don't pay for software often, but I find all my purchases to Valve have been worthwhile. And for $18 or something, which is about £10, I'm having quite a bit of fun. I daren't look at a walkthrough, but I'm so scared of the endless bug attacks...
Zombines... get it?
Anyway, I think I'm overwhelming people with how often this is updated now. Don't let your hats spin too much.
More on that when I learn more about it.

The Way It Used to Be
As if life wasn't exciting enough, the end of Prison Break was a cliffhanger. I know I'm a bit late, but I started watching after it finished here. And it wasn't bad after all. I didn't enjoy the first episode that much, but it was pretty good by the end.
I wasn't expecting a Season 2. Anyway, that's what I'm promised. So when the end of Summer comes, I'm going to be treated to new episodes of Lost, 24, Prison Break, all sorts. It'll all be added to my download rosta.
Who would have thought that the raid on ThePirateBay would have backfired so badly? I personally have had problems connecting to it since it went back up, but with all the controversy that it's stirred up, it hardly seemed worth it. Another uprising in the digital world, I can't help but feel proud when people are willing to stand up and say that we will continue downloading stuff.
That's topical enough for my blog, I'm now going to talk about what happened today:
For the first time in 11 months, I spoke, vocally, to Yukina. We've been chatting online since she left to return to Japan, and we've always promised to Skype, but we just haven't. Anyway, now we have, and we chatted for nearly an hour. It was so nice to catch up in a way you just can't over text. We spoke about how this time last year we were going to Asda every morning for a McDonalds and staying up three days in a row, and we both agreed that it was one of the best Summers. So much has happened we couldn't begin to cover it, but I don't think (and am hoping) that it will be the last call. There was a 2 second delay in talking, but the sound quality was amazing, and we had a lot of catching up to do. I'm going to start getting into Skype again, I remember how great it was. I also Skyped my dad briefly as well.
I have been working on a Photoshop project for a while. It's difficult, because it's not the kind of project I'm used to. This isn't a marketing thing where I'm trying to get attention and convey an idea, this is trying to convey an image without selling it, making it purely aesthetic. I know that aesthetics are the most important part of images, but never has it had such power: all my images have had an agenda, this one does not. I want to balance this image, I want to make it so that you don't mind looking at it and you are proud of other people seeing it. It's an amazing complement to see people using my marketing images to decorate their space, but this is different. For the first time, I'm being truly limited by my artictic ability, rather than my Photoshop ability. Perhaps that's a complement to my Photoshop skills, but I feel that this is far more of a challenge than designing film posters. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it, but I don't feel like I should start again, because what I've done is rather cool, and would probably be great. I might look up some techniques to help improve the image.
I also spoke to Shun on the phone for a short time the other day, which was cool. I'm feeling so last year that I felt I should update my blog, as I would have done at this point in 2005.
I have an exam on Tuesday, which won't be fun but they never are. It's DBMS, my least favourite module and the hardest. I hope it goes well, I'll do more revision for this than I would most things.
Kiana is also moving her stuff in here tomorrow, the first step in the half way transition between Kaori and Kiana, and the half way point of living in this house. I love this house, it's the best place I've lived. I was discussing with Emma earlier about how almost everyone who has lived off campus in their second year has gone on to live in Halls again in their third year. Why do I want to continue living with Emma and Mizuki? I've had a really good time, and it's sad to think of others not having such a great time.
Apparently Carlos and Stacey and Mandy and Sam have found a house finally, but it is in Kingston. Subsequently, Sam has chosen not to live there. I won't comment, as I do not know the details, but I will advise most strongly against this. Kingston is too far away for convenience, and it will just add troubles. I think one of the main reasons that EmmaHouse has been so happy for myself and Emma is that it has been so close to University. That and a foundation of strong friendship and compromise. Had we lived at one of our other chosen houses, the one near Asda or in the estate, I doubt we would be renewing our contract for a second year.
Really, I do not recommend living at that distance. I have learnt this from Dan's troubles and I doubt he'd like to spend another year in Wimbledon. In fact he doesn't, he's living on campus next year. Avoid.
Speaking of listening to advice, I really should listen to Kiana and start revision. I have only one more exam. Hooray!

Infrequency Dissolved
I warned you about this blog, but on reading a thank you note from someone for updating from a week ago, I decided to go again. For this to work, I upload this to an old FTP site, then copy the whole site to my computer, then I upload it to my current, non-working server, bypassing the bloggerblocker that has delayed all of my updates.
Joy indeed.
Anyway, I'll post what's been on my mind recently.
I've been to the cinema twice this week. That's a lot more than I have been for a while, but it's a good time for movies. I still haven't seen MI3, and my sister won't go with me out of principal, but I did get to see XMen 3, which I thought was better than the first, but not as good as the second. My recommendation is to stay after the credits.
I also saw the Da Vinci Code, which brought about its share of grievances. Upon entering with Housei, Emma and Dan, Emma instantly made a bee line for the back of the cinema, while I would have preferred sitting near the front. Despite there being a compromise-friendly set of four seats in the middle, they insisted on three rows from the back, which would make the screen smaller than my TV. I don't pay money for movies if they're going to be smaller than what I have at home, so I abandoned them in favour of the front row centre option, which didn't crane my neck or hurt my eyes. I really don't know why people insist on entering different levels of atmosphere in order to see films. I was also left watching alone, which is never preferable.
But let's look at it as a film. I have heard and read from so many people about how terrible the book is, and how correspondingly bad the film is. People seem to absolutely hate this man and the pages he's turned out. I have asked why, and people give different reasons. The reasons seem to be that it has no literary merit and is popularised by controversy alone, and Dan Brown has made his fortune with no real talent. I haven't read the book, it's not the kind of novel I like. But I saw the film, and I tend to feel like... what's all the fuss about, the love and the hate?
It's a well thought out yarn. He hasn't broken any moulds, I saw a lot of it coming (and I'm not usually good with that), and I'd already seen Dogma so the twist lost its effect. But it's an entertaining watch, and from what I hear, a page turner. It's pulp fiction that happened to get a lot of press because people have taken it too seriously. But I don't understand why everyone who hates it takes it so far. The church bans it in certain areas and forces more prominent disclaimers about its accuracy, and other people spend so much energy hating it and telling others to hate it... why? At least the church has an excuse of blind faith driving it. Surely there or things with less merit that are more popular and worth hating? What about Big Brother Seven? What about the World Cup? The entertainment market is saturated with shallow and substance-free material that far exceeds the lack of talent that Dan Brown has.
Are talentless rich people even worth hating at all? Isn't there enough crap in the world to be pissed at before we start tearing apart unworthy authors? It seems that hating Dan Brown is quite a popular thing to do right now, just while JK Rowling is out of the limelight for a while.
My advice to people who are tempted to be drawn into the hype is: it's hardly a groundbreaker, but it's a fun movie excursion. It's better than a lot of films being made, it's just a little long. The advice that people give about this film is not to believe it or its facts and that it is just a piece of fiction. That is true, and it always has been, just like Shrek or Fargo or any other film.
Sorry, that was just a counter-rant to all the hatred I've heard and seen. It just doesn't seem worth it.
I have been in need of a good massage for a while now. I flew my kite again, that always hurts my back muscles. I'm glad I wore a cheap (DHARMA) shirt, I was dragged for ages by my kite during some gusts. Dan and I met some other kite flying while we were there, and they were quite serious about it. One of them let my fly his 6.6 metre kite. If you need some kind of scale, that's six point six metres. That had pull. I took off properly with that thing. I mean, it takes ages to turn in comparison, but it's a serious beast.
I need to speak to Yukina or Jenny or Erin soon, so if any of you are online, message me. Or call me. My number hasn't changed.
I now have a flickr account, so all my outrageous tales are more frequently documented visually, and always accessible, since I can update them from my phone.
In honesty with you people, I have to say, I'm not sure I can keep these updates up at all. It involves a lot of FTP stuff, and I hate it because I have to change so many settings and I keep reinstalling clients. I update when I can, but savour what you read, for it is gold dust in your hands: fleeting, and in short supply. Oh, and awesome.
I want to buy a Delorean. I will begin saving.
I will try and make an update every so often, but I've spent an hour writing this, so I hope you all enjoy. Miss you guys.
Joy indeed.

I Found a Workaround
Right, I'm republishing my blog.
It's been dead for months. I regretted that, and have complained to my hosting company on numerous occasions to no avail. I remember times when I would fill my loyal readership in on every detail that my life went though, but... I have a server upload limit.
So here it is: my first real post since January, and it feels wrong to update so late. I have had a mixed time, and I personally don't feel like sharing all of my feelings publicly. I made a private diary of how I felt, and that stays private. I have spoken to so many people in the past months that have told me that they have missed reading my blog. Well, I can count two, and that's enough to make me want to say hello to a few people who have checked everyday to see if I've updated, and who I haven't seen for a while.
Yukina: I remember how this blog used to make it so when we spoke in real life, I didn't have anything new to say to you. I'm sorry I missed talking to you the other day, we keep making arrangements, and one day we'll follow through.
Carlos: You seemed to miss my updates too, and since I haven't seen you in a while, maybe it'd be easier to communicate this way. Miss you man.
Julia: You say you check everyday, which I doubt, but it made me laugh anyway. Come back to London, girl, it's not the same.
Jenny: I'm glad I spoke to you of recent, and I noticed you invited me to your hi5, which I may sign up to. Speak to you soon.
Emma: What am I talking about? You never bloody check this and I see you everyday.
Yayoi: I don't know if you do still read this, but if you do, drop me an email. it'd be good to hear from you. I lost your email when you went to Aus.
CM and Hap: Neither of you are important enough to warrant your own section, and I thinkof you as a singular entity anyway.
And I have a faithful posse who don't check as much because they see me all the time anyway, so I don't need to shout to them, but I will say hi to Dan, who has been an excellent friend to me, and I know is always there, because he rules as a person.

It's been months, and I probably could have figured out this workaround had I thought about it, but I didn't. I wasn't very motivated to change it, I didn't feel that I ought to, I just left it at the "Thank God finally" post, which was ironic. I was stuck in internet limbo, and internet homeless, I didn't have a key to my own front door of my homepage, and it sucked. IXWebHosting still hasn't resolved its Blogger issues, and for that I curse them.
It was my birthday. I got a new kite, which was very cool. I have been lfying my dad's old parafoil, but this new parafoil, it just has a bit more pull. I almost went across the whole of Richmond park in very little wind. It's a good thing. I also have a new watch, and if I read it now, the time is: 0011 000011, which is binary for 3:03. Not bad. I thank Becky for that wonderfully geeky idea.
Anyway, as it's 3:03 and I have a Database Management Systems lecture in the morning, I leave you there.
Hope you enjoy the update. It's unlikely I'll do them as frequently as I used to, but keep your e-eyes open.
It's been dead for months. I regretted that, and have complained to my hosting company on numerous occasions to no avail. I remember times when I would fill my loyal readership in on every detail that my life went though, but... I have a server upload limit.
So here it is: my first real post since January, and it feels wrong to update so late. I have had a mixed time, and I personally don't feel like sharing all of my feelings publicly. I made a private diary of how I felt, and that stays private. I have spoken to so many people in the past months that have told me that they have missed reading my blog. Well, I can count two, and that's enough to make me want to say hello to a few people who have checked everyday to see if I've updated, and who I haven't seen for a while.
Yukina: I remember how this blog used to make it so when we spoke in real life, I didn't have anything new to say to you. I'm sorry I missed talking to you the other day, we keep making arrangements, and one day we'll follow through.
Carlos: You seemed to miss my updates too, and since I haven't seen you in a while, maybe it'd be easier to communicate this way. Miss you man.
Julia: You say you check everyday, which I doubt, but it made me laugh anyway. Come back to London, girl, it's not the same.
Jenny: I'm glad I spoke to you of recent, and I noticed you invited me to your hi5, which I may sign up to. Speak to you soon.
