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.

Bugz
I found a bug with clicking category tags or author tags. It’s supposed to sort posts by the relevant tag but instead it was returning all the pages, worst of all no-one told me. The only way I found out was when I went to filter my own posts and nothing changed.
Please if you find any bugs here let me know so I can fix them up..I’m only more than happy to :)
Anyway it’s fixed now..weehee
I should be writing documentation for ACAN 3.0 instead of this but I just thought i’d let you all know the issue has been solved. Yes I passed my Learners test..pssh 97% (1 wrong)
See you on the flip side.

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!

Kenzie and Life With Babies
When you have a baby and they say “Don’t expect to sleep again.” They’re wrong. Expect to sleep, lightly, awaking at every infinitesimal sound and leaping out of bed to check the baby with the attempted stealth of a drunk ninja. Expect if you co-sleep, to be whacked in the chest, head, boob and face at random intervals by the sleeping babe. Expect also in this scenario, to forfeit the entire queensize bed and retreat to a poor excuse, slither of matress edge in effort to escape the whacking. Expect a sore neck as your head lulls intermittently during Mornings With Kerrie Ann, Songs of Praise and song clips on RAGE still under the late night lenient censor. (Yay for softcore porn.) Expect the eerie Harry Potter dream with zombies and nudity to merge rather convincingly with conscious land. Just don’t expect to be awake, for anything.
Want a date with the first dog? No worries: Kenzie, the competition.

Upgrades at goobii
JESUS LOVES YOU GAK
mmk, with that out of the road. Some of you may have noticed some non-activity for a while looks at calendar mmk so it’s been a month :( Well, I’ve been busy since the last entry i’ve broken up with Dee and have seen the deftones, which was absolutely amazing and if they ever pass by your way whether a fan or not go and have a look anyway.
I was also working as a php dev for artisan and have since finished up. Met an awesome bunch of people and Chris if you are reading this I thank you for the kind words and the loan of the MySQL book, it was invaluable to me man and interesting to see the features capable in MySQL 5 some of which i’ll deffinately be using in future. Goodluck finishing the project and make sure you marry that girl of yours.
On other fronts atekz.org(the server goobii resides on) has been upgraded from PHP4 to PHP5 along with apache being updated to 1.3.7 and after hours of frustration and help from Chris(mcGuiness) trac is now installed and working ZOMG! Now i can be as cool as gak and alec i’ll never be quite like Fonzie or Fabio :(
Hmm, Slayer gig coming up soon can’t wait should be awesome nev’s coming along to this one also so maybe we’ll get to rock out in the pit together this time as we were split up at Deftones.
So stay tuned for some more trac goodness as i get cracking on a few projects i’ve had in the works for a while.
One more thing, this game is adictive as hell so avoid it at all costs.
oops :P
Take care.
Mat
