Over the past 24 hours I’ve received payments for website advertising totaling $449.86. Not bad at all.
I decided to watch a movie tonight. My sister is borrowing my DVD player so as I was going to have to use a computer I decided to watch This Is Spinal Tap on my desktop. Nice and easy. So I insert the disk ready to play it.
Next thing I know I need to restart, am getting blue screen errors and my desktop is generally screwed. It’s locking up, doing things slowly, not shutting down, it’s worse than my laptop. When I finally do get the video I realise I don’t have the DivX codec so it’s a couple of restarts and 11mb download then an installer to get that on the system.
Also my computer keeps wurring like never before (not louder, it simply never did it before!) and there is a wierd clicking sound that keeps coming from the speakers too. I’m pissed off. I can’t do with the stress of being at home, this isn’t what I need right now.
Well I’m back home after my first term at uni. Not pleased to be back though, I was loving Bodington. Still I can get some quality downloading in over the holidays once I sort my connection out.
I still have loads of unpacking to do but I got my computers set-up and then just kind of stopped and started surfing. I have my priorities right.
It’s Friday. I moved a bunch of my stuff home today, well I say moved, I mean packed it into the car and sent my dad back with it. Still have all my computer equipment here ready to move back tomorrow so I’ll have to get up at like 8:30 to do that. Still considering the nights I have had and still managed to get up at 8:30 for breakfast that should be easy.
Off to the cinema tonight, there are a dozen or so of us left or at least there will be by the end of the night as a few people are getting picked up then.
I wasn’t going to blog tonight but my computers are both on so I thought, what the hell. This week has been mental. Not freshers week mental but it would take a lot to top that as you get hardened to the partying as the semester goes on.
Monday was a bust, I wanted to go to Bondi which was open until 6:00 am and pull an all-nighter but I couldn’t get anyone interested other than Colette who had football so we never made it out. Never the less I was chatting to Sarann for most of the night so I didn’t get to bed until 3:30 counting an episode of The X-Files.
Tuesday as I have previously mentioned was the Bodington Ball which ended up at Creation. That finished at 2:00 and we got the bus home then got food and stayed up talking so I was up that night until 4:40. Had to be up the next morning at 8:30 too (well it could have been 9 technically) as I had a 10 o’clock lecture.
Wednesday night I went to Bar Phono with Sarann, Graham and Liz (Sarann’s housemate) which was wicked. It was the RockSoc Christmas party. Then afterwards me and Graham came back to my room and that was followed by some World of Warcraft so that was another 3:30 night.
Then tonight we went to Halo for John’s birthday (which is actually Saturday but we obviously couldn’t do that) and it was also combined with the last night we would all be together in Grant before Christmas (actually Winks and Will have already gone home, Mike stayed in to do an essay and a few people went out with societies but for the most part we had everyone) as a lot of people will be going home tomorrow.
As one final event we will be watching Top Gun tomorrow too :P.
I had one of the coolest nights of my life last night – it was the Bodington Hall and after going to Film Soc to see Barberella, I went to Bouron for the champagne reception and then we all headed off to Creation were we had the whole of the top floor to ourselves.
I was getting a drink at the bar and got chatting to someone who recognised me from the video news updates I have done for Hilary Duff Planet. How cool is that?
I’ve been working on some new VNUs today. I’ve uploaded the second set to Rawice and Google Video and have a third set ready to post tomorrow.
Well it’s Tuesday. 4 days until I move out! I dislike how fast this semester has gone, it’s worrying. Last night was a bit of a bust as everyone was staying in to get some sleep for the week ahead. With the amount of lecturues cancelled this week though (I only have 3 hours to go, normally I would have 11) I think it should just be another freshers week and Oli agrees with me.
Going to start moving stuff on Friday so I really need to start getting ready at the latest tomorrow, I will probably start today.
I didn’t get to bed until like 3 this morning. I was just on IM and writing some articles for my websites and next thing I noticed it was 1:30. By the time I got into bed it was 2:10 and then I watched an episode of The X-Files. Yet I found it easier to get up this morning than I would do normally.
My VPS seems to have caught up with all the stats processing but apparently that doesn’t mean it has updated all the Awstats and it probably won’t be doing that any time soon as it’s in backup mode and I have a bad feeling that it has been there for a long while.
I also returned to the Avril forums I set up on Worfolk Hosting and found I needed to enable Awstats on their so looks like I haven’t got any stats for the moment though they should start building up soon.
My VPS has been so overloaded recently that stats basically couldn’t run (WHM skips them when it needs resources for other stuff). However now that I’ve upgraded the VPS and possibly more importantly, gone in and killed any process hogging my CPU time, they are catching up.
I found a stats bit of WHM that I hadn’t seen before which tells you which accounts are behind. When I checked it earlier it was pretty much every account I had on the system. Now it’s down to 8. I’m hoping when it’s sorted I might get my “update awstats” link in the browser which seems to have been missing, at least since the upgrade.
Sizing up a new site to launch, Erotica Forums. I really want a new community site as I sometimes run out of communities to visit when I’m just sitting around and Keyword Discovery came up with some searches so I’m testing the waters, see if anything picks up on it. I also need a vBulletin fund raiser ;).
I had a flick over Literotica yesterday and there is some really good stuff on there. I want a real sense of community, though, like Buffy Talk has as the fan fiction that comes out of there is awesome and plentiful.
