The reason I’m a slack blogger…
…is that clearly that I have no life.
Since I’ve posted last, I’ve spent my time:working
cleaning
cutting up godamn HUGE speaker and subwoofer boxes to small pieces so I can fit them in the garbage
listening to said speakers and subwoofers, much to my neighbours’ chagrin
getting stuck into the new series of Australian Idol (omg, there are some […]Hotlinking is baaaad m’kay?
Clearly, the dickwads using MySpace to blog were discouraged by Bio’s rather nasty (but oh so funny!) image replacement when they hotlinked, so decided that the sexyoldwoman.jpg on my server was a better target.
So, after some .htaccess rewrite rule fun, the aforementioned dickwads now get the image below when they directly link to images on […]An orgasm in my ears
If I don’t blog for a few days, it’s because I am cozied up to my speakers, gently stroking their veneer and whispering “prreeecioussssssss, my prrrrreeeciousssssss”.
I decided to go into a state of denial about living in an apartment, and after hooking and fiddling with metres of speaker wire (oh. my. god. they make that […]Bonus post!
I checked out the Technorati tag for Dreamhost as part of my ongoing wtf is up with my website-research and was led to their blog and the voicemail recordings they posted from an extremely pissed-off caller (albeit a clueless pissed-off caller).
Seriously, comedy gold! (oh, but definitely not safe for work language is involved, so beware!)[…]
The one where I cook dinner, eat and wash the dishes while my page loads..
My page is taking a fearful long time to load for me and I suspect it is a routing issue at my ISP, but, just to be sure, I am asking you to “come out of the closet” so to speak, and let me know how long it’s taking. Don’t worry, I’m not going to […]
Hifi-us interruptus!
So, I smugly count the hours until Saturday when the sound system of my dreams arrives and I can spend the day wiring-up and fiddling around, and the phone rings.
It’s my Dad, inviting himself and Mum over on Sunday for lunch.
Oh the humanity!
This means that I have to rush out shopping as soon as the […]Well it’s funny how things work out… (aka part 3 of the great hifi debacle)
Well it’s with great joy (with a hint of trepidation) that I say that my money’s down and the deal’s been made.
But
It wasn’t exactly how I figured it would turn out.
Yesterday, I was out at lunchtime, doing some shopping at the mega-mall nearby, when I thought I’d pop into a much despised mega-electronics store that […]The one where there is still no hifi
Well, the trip to the mega department store was not a success. I’m questioning whether home theatre systems are about to be made illegal, because the number of people shopping for them everywhere I go is akin to pending announcements of war and the stampedes of people running out to stock up on everything they […]
I’ve lost my shopping mojo!
OK here’s the thing.
I. Love. Shopping.
I’m not talking about boring old grocery shopping, I speak of the holy grail of shopping, major electrical object shopping. And the holy grail of major electrical object shopping? Audio Visual equipment shopping. This surpasses only brand-spanking new computer shopping in my opinion.
When it comes to holy grail-type shopping, […]What’s with the middle east’s old lady sex obsession?
I noticed that my visitor stats had increased recently somewhat and went delving to find out what had piqued all the sudden interest.
Well, what I found out was that not only are the Japanese pretty perverted, but apparently the whole of the middle east!
In my last post I referred to a past post where I […]
