I have a G2 installation on olstar.co.uk, and i try and keep it updated. I went to install a cool new theme today, and it highlighted that one or two parts of my G2 installation may be out of date, so i did what i normally did to upgrade G2, but it gave me a shit load of errors. I googled the errors and i found a site that told me to backup/rename the config.php and the g2data folder, and delete everything else, then re-upload the files and un-re-name them two files. Run the site and the upgrade wizard should start.

Hopefully once this frickin FTP program has caught up with itsself i can have my gallery back! Go on the menalto site, and there is a heap of free user submitted themes. Im gonna use the nature one if  can get it to work

Yes, one of the remaining bank holiday weekends for this year has passed. Only one more oppertunity to have two sunday dinners in a row. Its so unfair, why cant every other weekend be a bank holiday. Im sure there wouldnt be a (sane) sole in the country who would disagree with me.

Managed to get a new steering coloum on the clio, but in the process of doing that we broke the key, which left us unable to remove the ignition barrel from the old coloum, and put it in the new one. My wonderful father is off tomorrow to get me a key cut. God damm that guy rocks! The sunroof i bought was way too small, its not even the same shape - so im gonna ring them up and tell them it was wrong tomorrow - as its in the boot of my clio which is immobilized at scotts house. So i should be able to get that on wednesday, which means i might not make it to the wednesday meet, but i have to as i gotta collect clothes. Which reminds me, i must get myself something made up!

I have a busy week leading up to the nationals, i just hope i dont have any problems in sorting everything i need out for the trip.

I should sleep now, i got to walk to work tomorrow and im really no good at waking up in the mornings.

Right, were doing it in the clio. I think gonna be me and scott (sorry dave, al3x and ko) cos we need to think about weight in the car etc.. We have a little plan that might help us win one of the higher prizes. I bought a steering coloumn and a sunroof yesterday and scott is gonna fit them tomorrow then all we need to do is give it a MAD service so that its running well and get it stickered up!

I might look for a few sponsers, to help with paying for the modifications needed on the clio. Its perfect tho, cos its fast and i really dont care for it much so im not really that bothered if it dies
Going to my mums in a sec for dinner and then its LSOM time.. Ace.

And im still cut up about nic. I heard once it takes half as long as the length of your relationship to fully get over someone. And im thinkin thats probably true.

I text her today cos i owe her some money, and we chatted for a bit. She seems ok, said she is close to someone she went to school with, whcih is good. I was afraid she might of gotten back into her old ways - but it sounds like she hasnt which is great. Although it wouldnt be hard for her to hold back a few truths from me. After all, what reasons has she got for being truthful with me?

Im officially never going after a girl again. If they want me then they can do the chasing, as i just cant be doing with it. I dont want to get involved with someone and then fuck myself up when we break up. But on the flip side i really want someone to talk to, and share those moments with that can only be shared with someone you feel 100% comfortable with.

Woo! Its my second wednesday of the week, and i feel pretty good today. I have been worrying that our new canopy for maxxd.com wouldnt be finished in time, but criag has actually put it on the worksheets - and as long as i got it pressed, it will be made up the DAY b4 i go next week!!

Ive just this minute finished printing it, i have to re-print one roof panel as there is some fading on it, then its sorted! Its gonna look so cool when its up.

I forget how much retarded spelling mistakes piss me off. A girl on maxxd has just commented on how she “brought” a corsa. A quick visit to dictionary.com backed up the differneces between brought and bought, and i pointed it out to ehr i her post. Ill probably be grilled for it, but i couldnt give a flying fuck. Its ONE extra letter that isnt required, and it changes the meaning of the word completly! I am aware i make shit load of spelling mistakes, but mine are due to me typing too fast, and not checking back thru things properly.

Hahaha, i have just been on dannys site. Im not going to give him the benifit of linking to it, as more people probably view this than they do go on his site. Anyway, there is some bullshit phrase scrolling across the top, and it reads something like

“one day a man had an idea, it was about a new breed, you could say this rebel breed, where people didnt fight and fuss…”

Ahahahaha, so this is your tag line is it danny? So why are you taking someone to court who you have known for a good 10, 15 years? Why did you decide to bestow this 1500 debt upon people you considered your friends? Because sy and dave both deny ordering that amount, so who did set the final figure in stone? I belive it was you danny - if you had been honest, or not being stupid and ordered that amount, then none of this would of happened.

Im kinda pissed off at the mo. Daves leaving to go down and live with his dad, and he keeps going on about this and that and whats he’s gonna do for maxxd when hes down there etc. I dunno, i have a feeling there will be no dave after a while. Simply because ive got a feeling he’s gonnahve a milion oppertunitys thrown at him , and i know dave. He wont turn one of them down. So maxxd will sink further and further back in his mind. I mean, untill he quit at phones4u he hardly had any time to spare for maxxd, whats it gonna be like when he’s at least 100 miles away? I should be happy - but im not.

Djb is leaving too, which means no PHP help. I really need to learn it, so im gonna go away now and do just that.

Today, most of the day, i have thought it was wednesday.

Its been quite bizarre, becasue i thought it really was wednesday - and because i thought it was wednesday for so long, when i had been informed it was tuesday i kept forgetting i had been told, and still thought it was wednesday.

I was pretty gutted it wasnt wednesday too, as its the day i go out with scott in the evening in the car. I miss going out in my car and socialising with my maxxd.com buddys. Back in the portland days we were out all the time, every night without fail.

I wonder if things will ever be like that again? I like the show season, as that tends to bring the group a lot closer. I dont want people who are part of maxxd.com - not feeling part of maxxd.com, so we are gonna try and lay the camp site out at nationals so people dont feel left out or excluded. I know we cant make people like others, and we certiainly cant tell people who to be friends with - but we can help people get to know each other and eventually they will know each other and the community grows closer.

I guess we have quite a lot of responcibility, and quite a lot of power in the sence we can influence peoples desisions and help them make the right choices in life. By providing maxxd.com we provide something for people to “do” - and when newbies join saying they are gonna buy this and that we can remind them of the dangers of finance, and warn them about certain companies and products that in buying them/their serivices, would result in their money being wasted.

I just wish maxxd.com had existed when i was thinking of getting loans

Im trying to stay awake for as long as possible, because i wont really have much of a sunday. What with working an all that.

Went to skeg with ko dave and scott today, it was awesome.

Id write more, but im honestly struggeling to think properly.

FUCK

A really beefy spider has just crawled down my desk right next to my hand, then dissapeared down a gap i couldnt see. I gased it out with BO buster and chucked a glass over it. then put a bit of card under and lobbed it out the window.

Its stupid really, i should of killed it. As i doubt it would survive falling 2 floors down onto concrete. Oh well.

Its my hybrid name for what today feels like. Its saturday realy, but i had to get up and be at work for 8:00am (got here at 8:30) as we are bogged down with work and need to get some out the way.

So i have given this day a new name. Tomorrow isnt going to be much better, as i have work at 7:00pm, till 7:00am monday morning - i just hope i can get a few hours sleep while im there or i aint gonna be a pretty sight first thign monday morning!

Ant Update - The two guys who were left in my mini big brother house are george and fred. They seem to be working as a team quite well, and have bonded quite well. They started digging down one of the holes i made for them, but seem to be moving at a slow pace. My idea is to let them become comfortable with each other and their surroundings, then chuck 10 very wild, very young ants, and see how they react to the invasion of unknown antlings.
Ants rule

I had forgotten about this, until i started to get another headache about 5 mins ago. I had a headache developing most of the day yesterday, it started off only bothering me when i ran, or increased my heart rate a bit.

Then after i had been for a steak with my dad after visiting decalthlon, i got home and it started to get worse.. By bed time i could barely see.

I layed in bed and i was in agony, i couldnt turn a light on, i couldnt lay down, it felt like the pressure was building and building and building.. Like my head was gonna pop!

I went downstairs to try and find some tablets, with my eyes hardly open, feeling my way down as i couldnt bear the light. I found a pot of paracetamols and pretty mcuh necked 4 of them at once. At that point, i really didnt care what bad affects it had on me (taking 4 at once) i just couldnt bear the pain anymore.

The next thing i know i woke up - it was morning - and didnt have a headache.

I hope i never have one like that ever again!
