Nostalgia

March 3, 1999

How old do you have to be before it is ok to be nostalgic? ;O) Today Brian and I were discussing “the good old days” of computing. Remember those old “TV Sports” consoles? Little blocks of plastic that took several of them fat-type batteries and drained them within a week. You would plug it into [...]

Net vandals

February 24, 1999

This morning I got in to find an email telling me “You suck”. It was a message sent to me by my website to tell me someone had added a guestbook message. It seems some people think it is clever to leave (ho ho ho) “comedy” messages on my guestbook. Do they think I am [...]

Sweet smell of coffee

February 22, 1999

Two downers today :O( Downer 1) Netbenefit have sent me a invoice for two more years domain name fees for my company that hasn’t existed for months. £80! £50 of which is “administration fees”, I *know* there isn’t £50 of work there, greedy b’st’rds.

The Buyer

February 21, 1999

“The Buyer” was round today with his mum measuring for curtains and carpets, etc. Good job he took his mum along, he didn’t have a clue. He’s not going to budge on having us out of the house. Our house isn’t going to be ready until three weeks after he wants to move in, so [...]

February 16, 1999

I want my bed

February 10, 1999

I’m sick. Very sick. Not in a “goes to bed with his pets” kind of way, more a “not very well” way. My head isn’t working exactly to factory specifications either. What usually takes me a jiffie to think seems to take forever and my vision isn’t in sync with my movements. Christine, Joe and [...]

So called life

February 7, 1999

It is a little sad when the high spot of our weekend was unpacking a new fridge freezer. With all that has happened to us over the last year, getting married, changing jobs, closing down a business, selling our house, it’s kinda dull. But it’s also nice that all we had to worry about was [...]

Back to the old punto

February 6, 1999

Humph. Back to my crappy old Punto. The garage has done a great job, you would hardly have known I had smashed it up (although the gits could have filled up my water bottle). Problem is, ever since I had my accident (28/1/1999) I have been tootling around in nice brand new loan cars. First [...]
