So, finally after many furious attempts, I have completed One Shot, One Kill on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Veteran difficulty. I had a huge amount of determination and it paid off. I’m just dreading the rest of the game after that insane battle at the showdown of the end.

Note to self: update wordpress!

So I have taken a bit of a direction change to something I feel more comfortable with and I’ll be starting my new job in Fareham on Tuesday. Rather excited to start, I went in a few days ago to meet the guys (and gals) there, they all seem pretty cool, so hopefully I’ll fit right in.

I went airsofting at UCAP for the first time in ages on Wednesday, it was nice to play again, except I did get utterly sprayed when a guy came round the corner all guns blazing… I now have a bruise on my chin, but it’s covered by my big beard. Matt was down there also for the first time in even longer, but thats because he’s got a little one to worry about! Congratulations to him and whatnot.

Signing out now, ta ta for now.

It’s ace! Simple as.

I’ve started working on a little secret project in PHP at home, just for fun really, but it might take off (but, like anything I do probably won’t go very far…). With it, I’ve created a static PHP class for connecting/querying a MySQL database. At the moment, it’s extremely extremely simple, but here it is anyway. I’ll update it when it becomes a bit more complex, but it’s here mainly as a resource for myself, but anyone is welcome to use it as long as they keep the notice in tact at the top!

Sometimes I find it hard to think of the correct DOCTYPE for an HTML document, and probably due to laziness I usually omit the DOCTYPE tag, which of course puts most browsers into “Quirks” mode. I’m trying now to be a bit more specific from now on, so I found a blog post on “A List Apart”.

So I’ve decided to start keeping track of the dreams that I remember. Not sure why or what it’ll acheive, but I do have some strange dreams sometimes. I have found myself dreaming alot more recently anyway, so here’s one I had last night.

Richard Hammond (Top Gear presenter) and myself where wheeling a large cart (not sure what was on it) around a posh hotel, we got to a stage and put it up there. Then a big show started, I was in the wing, he was in the cart, it was embaressing, and he started unloading the cart and putting it at the side of the stage. I started helping, and he told me he didn’t want me to get into trouble and thought I’d gone. Then, an important person came up to me and had a go at me for putting the cart on the stage. I remember saying something along the lines of “I know it was a disgraceful thing to do, but in my defence you should’ve checked the stage was clear before starting the show”.

Odd, I know…

Well it looks like I can’t afford to go airsofting after all tonight. Hannah keeps offering to pay for me to go, but I can’t accept that - that’s money we have to use to buy food and stuff, I can’t spend half on it just on doing a hobby which isn’t critical to life. Right now we just need to keep living, feed and water ourselves, and work ourselves out of money problems. It’s absolutely stunning how much money affects your life when you don’t have any. It’s really been getting me down, and now that the landlord has said that Hannah can’t move in with me, I feel even worse. I’ve written and posted a letter to him to hopefully change his mind, so hopefully things will turn out OK. It’s just a waiting game now. Just feeling a bit distressed at the moment, and kind of at a loose end. I just want my life to be better again!

I’m sitting in the Deco on my new laptop, well not really new, and it’s not really mine, it’s Hannahs, but it’s mine now. As some of you will probably know I’m ridiculously poor due to work messing up my pay, but after several telephone calls I’ve managed to sort it out, but I’m not gonna get paid til next month. So I’m really poor this month, really really poor. Hannah should be moving in soon which will be awesome, but the money problem is really dragging me down at the moment. I can’t even afford to go Airsofting which is like my favouritest hobby ever (apart from being with Hannah :P). Hopefully I’ll have money next Wednesday so I can go to UCAP, but I don’t hold out much hope for now.
