Yes we’re back
Sorry to all you loyal readers that I dropped off the blogosphere for so long.
My last host had a crazy outbreak of Mpack. PowerVPS were handling it pretty bad so I decided if they don’t appreciate a loyal customer then it’s time to move servers.
So now i’m running goobii on a new host, using Ubuntu Fiesty and some virtualhost software… all self managed.
Hopefully moving to a BSD server soon but I will indeed keep you all updatedon how that turns out.
On other fronts, I recently got a new job at Komodo CMS as a software developer and am really happy there. Everyone is really cool but passionate about what they do and our product is amazing…My first rollout site went live and its the first to integrate Viostream’s service if you want to have a peak then head over to thefoundry.net.au or check out the showcase page on Komodo CMS.
So if you haven’t seen me online in a while or I am online but i fail to change my status, you know i’m at work.
Anywho i’ll keep this short. I hope you’re all keeping well and not too annoyed that i dissapeared too long.
Till next time,
Peace.

Trickle Ticking Virginia’s Secret.
They forcast sleet. In your fantastical land where a Swiss Watch are smelt from honey butter metal keeps time no better than my humble sand filled hour-glass. I watch you trickle, ticking by. Tocking, clocking, hair red-streaked sun shattered squished epithelial metropolism. Melted and re-smelted. I wonder what the Angel of Death would return as? Hari Krishna. Maybe a sloth, I have much pondering to do.
I bought the mini series “Angels In America” on dvd. Set in the mid 80’s it is primarily strung together with a bare storyline like an amature porn of monologues overfilled with philosophy. I like it. It also has a hot effeminate african-american homosexual character, with glitter. It’s also ironically, founded on some of my current curiosities; Philosophy in general, Mormons and angel wings from the Victoria’s Secret lingerie catalogue. Also, there are angels with eight vaginas who copulate all day. (Hentai, anyone?) In any sense, the abrupt characters are worth the watching, and the profanities spewing from Al Pacino are juxtaposedly amusing and confronting. I laugh. I think it’s healthy, isn’t it?
I’ve been wondering too, why my butt is always cold. I once believed it was insulation. But I now wonder, walrus-i have phenomenal levels of fat insulation.. as do whales.. and whales are warm blooded. If I were to pet a walrus, would they be cold to touch? Are their butts cold, too? Perhaps it’s poor circulation. Maybe if I smack it…. do walrus-i smack themselves? I think were I to try it, coupled with laughing at swearing homosexuals orgasming with angels, I’d soon be committed. Ho-ho Hee-hee……I think it best remain cold and insulated. Yes.

Long time no see
Sorry it’s taken so long, I’ve been keeping myself busy lately working on my folio and generally trying to steer myself back toward more web/application development. I will admit it’s been a hard road as usually with all of my projects I will begin development and once I workout how to get over those first few large hurdles which the project is usually created to showcase, I get bored by the rest of it and will usually stop developing or deliberately procrastinate.
It’s my vice as a developer and creator because without completed work you can’t showcase anything. It’s like designing a car engine and then having no car to put it inside of, obviously your engine isn’t going to show its potential because there is no solid real-world example it’s merely prototype.
So what’s on the go you ask? Well firstly there is PHP Parrot which is an all purpose quote manager utilising my AJAX based scaffolding library ‘SPASM’ it’s intended for people who want something fast and easy to install so I’m worried that people won’t see the real potential of the backend code driving it. Also there is ACAN 3.0 which I haven’t really begun as I’m waiting on Muz to start writing the spec and his been extremely busy as always. I can see the future now, many many late nights ahead and more Skype conversations than you can poke a stick at…agreed Muz?
Aside from that I’ve been coding templates for various people one of which will be used as the base of a web application though I don’t think im at liberty to reveal details of that just yet.
Away from web development I’m reading on Object Oriented concepts using university literature handed to me by Konza with supplemented video lectures. Very interesting indeed and I think it’s starting to all click finally.
In real-life ™ I had an eye test recently and learnt that I have astigmatism as a result I have since purchased new glasses which I will be wearing anytime I’m not at the computer and maybe soon while driving. Yes I’m finally going for my Victorian license..haha
A few issues with certain family members have arisen too so anyone who has a moment to prey for them I’d much appreciate it…I don’t think prayer needs names, does it?
So all in all I’ve been keeping busy and I’m really sorry to neglect any long time readers but rest assured I’m not dead yet touch wood
Till next time,
Take care.

Shakespeare Hates Your Emo Poems
Yes, yes he does.
“Are you emo? Hang with us here!” I was wondering if that was supposed to be figurative, or a literal “hang” as to dangle from one’s neck until dead. When I saw this link (whilst feeding my ebay addiction) Am I Emo? Why the hell not, ‘click’. The link didn’t seem to work and I pout like an anime lolita for all of half a second. Considering that emo try hards refuse to be “labelled” as emo and would probably unleash their well manicured, pointy fingernails if you tacked on the “try hard” within audible range. I wasn’t surprised that no-one had signed up to join and the address had most likely shuffled off this mortal coil in despair. The lesson? Dont rely on emo’s. Either that or, it actually was ment to be taken literally.
Emo reminds me of Elmo and that just screws up the entire image of try hard stripey tight wearing over accessorised teenies transported from the eighties. When Richard Hunt presented Elmo for the first time, the producers agreed that the character laughed too much. (Who’s laughing now hu? With the multi million dollars in mechadise sales?) Elmo is way too over stimulating. I wouldn’t be surprised if kids haven’t noticed he has a personality. They sit there stunned into a stupor we interperate as them actually enjoying all that giggling. Actually, its sort of provocative and sexually ambiguous now that I think about it. Who loves his crayon more than Elmo?
Other underthought and similar advertisiments on the internet are those for IMVU. “Chat in 3D! Be a STAR!” Isn’t the real world already in 3D, and free? I admit, I signed up, provoked by the allure of fame, you know. Someone might notice Emo me and I can pretend that they love and want to save me and although secretly flattered and smitten, I’ll abuse them as though I don’t care and would rather hang by the neck until dead. Because for Emo’s that’s some appealing and erotic fantasy.. mmm… hanging.. drool. Like all role play games and online anything, you get the opportunity to be something you’re not, do things you wouldn’t normally and can’t usually get away with, such as being a troll and killing the beautiful people, rofl. Not surprisingly, all eight of the character images are attractive and unattainably thin 15 year old teenies, oh and one is a leprosy white zombie goth. Which makes me wonder if every single person on there is actually a fat old guy from Brazil. Possibly living in the same apartment block next door to eachother. I endeavored to be the most screwed up gorgous looking emo bitch I could. TAKE THAT psudo-emo whores! Muar ha!
Speaking of communal living. I’ve been catching up with an old friend, Amanda. It’s been some years but not much has changed. Nathan says since we started catching up again I’m notably “crude and raunchy”. I think it’s for the best, ha!

Things that interest me
I haven’t really wrote something all that ‘personal’ for quite some time so I thought I might just throw this out there and see the response I get, if indeed it does generate response otherwise meh I tried.
So in more of an effort to describe myself in a little more depth I’m going to share with you all some of things that genuinely interest me and perhaps a few that don’t. What I ask in return is a simple comment with your interests or perhaps make a blog entry about and trackback to this post, let’s all try learn something from the experience eh? For brevity I’m going to just make this a list with adjoined subheadings and perhaps some links to various information.
