OMG Actual Last post

Get this: BLOGGER IS A LYING BASTARD!!!

Because do you know why? It's now May 2nd and here is what they told me:

"FTP publishing will no longer be available after 01 May 2010
You currently have blogs that are published using FTP. You must migrate your blogs to a new custom domain URL or a blogspot URL. To learn more, see our dedicated blog and help documentation."

DON'T TRUST CORPORATIONS KIDDIES. THEY'LL LIE YOU UP. AND PLUS AND ALSO THEY WILL STEAL AND USURP AND UNDERMINE UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT LIES.

OMG LAST POST!!1!

The Last Gasp

Well friends.

We've come a long way together now haven't we? It's been a bumpy old ride. But we made it. We've laughed, we've cried. We've vomited. We drank alcohol for goodness' sakes.

But all good things must come to an end. So then, let us end them together.

And we'll end with this, Post Number 900. It's a nice round number.

Tomorrow this will be a graveyard. A static site left eerily silent. A monument to one man's attempt to fill the void with nothing. Comments won't update. No new post again to show its self-referential face upon this black and blue and white landscape. I almost feel sentimental. But no. Life must move on. Things fall apart you know.

I think it fitting that we'll end this with a Mark Twain quote. It's only right.

Adieu my friends. You can't have it all..

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

Over.

And.

Out.

Oh yeah

I forgot to say..

The gig was awesome. And stupid. It was stawesome. Awepid.

So now you know..

A beautiful day to die..

Hello peeps.

We're getting close to the end here. And guess how much work on the new blog has been done? That's right campers! None!

But on the plus side Dave's got some cool stuff going down over there at his Blogspot blog. Plus Matt's moved everything over (with a little help from yours truly after a few tinnies) so nothing will change there come May 2nd (there'll still be no activity - no change see?!)

Also there's all sorts of election stuff going down. It's nice to see my attitude has got better in 5 years. Now I think it's all a big crap shoot. Give or take.

In case you were wondering, my manifesto:
- Defence budget goes on aid (cheers Bill Hicks for that one!)
- All school league tables ditched, onus on children and parents to obtain a good education, teaching assessed on teaching not kids' grades
- Restrict ultimate editorial control to one outlet per medium per person, papers can still publish but they have to co-publish with a paper with diametrically opposing views.
- Maximum wage AND bonuses linked directly to lowest wage and bonuses in the company.
- Big poster on every corner saying in big, blood-red letters: "don't be a dick!"

I can't find any of the major parties that are peddling this type of claptrap, so I'm going to have to compromise somewhere along the way.

Peace

What a gig venue

This will either be awesome or stupid.

The red mist

Dead pissed?

it's not what you do..

I had a message from a company today saying something along the lines of "if you design it in Word..."

Ha. Oxymoron?

Enough of the Microsoft baiting (seriously, before someone starts commenting with 'well Word's not technically made for..' and wah wah wah) and on with the serious stuff.

Have you noticed how certain phrases get miswritten the same way so often you actually start questioning whether the miswritten version is correct?
Like:
working progress

Dammit. There was another great one, but it's gone completely from my mind.

And no, I don't actually start questioning my fabulously huge knowledge. HEAVEN FORFEND!

overandout..

I know what you're thinking..

You're thinking about soup.


So blogger have given me a respite by shifting the deadline back to 1st May. That seems better to me. It's a nice round number.

Whilst we here and on the subject, I will be winding down this blog in the next month. I have plans for a new one, and luckily a month to do things properly. So stay tuned.. It's obviously not going to be vastly different, but I have a few additions and changes planned to keep it fun for all involved.

Looking forward to the weekend. Not too busy thankfully. We're going to see the mighty 3dBs down on Saturday. Should be good, should be good.

Peace and love compadres..

axiomatic..

Ordinarily I'd be keen to update you all on progress of how things are.. um.. progressing, but we all know how that update would go.

I think I've got a way forward. But I'm not announcing it until it's at least some way along. Because otherwise it'll be a case of "I'm doing this" and then it never happens. Or doesn't happen until August.

Welcome to my world baybee.

Spent a weekend in the hometown. Or what I consider to be the hometown.. It was the nice times.

Bits and Bobs are coming to play tonite. Nicky-Nine is cooking. Yum.

I gotta buzz..

Well look who it is..

Go on, just look..

I know, I know. Privacy blah blah. I was still excited. And so should you have been. So you should have been? So should.. So you..

And so you ARE!

overandout looking for a google van..
