Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish

Well, it seems that it’s the time of year for the businesses annual Quality Assurance external audit.

Past few years we’ve got through them with no problems. When it comes to this years inspection, I’m not so convinced all will be so smooth.

Think it’s something to do with things coming in 3’s, be they bad or good.

After some thinking, it’s my gut feeling that I’m due 1 more from the chain of 3 (first two being: 1] single & 2] insurance).

Something going abysmally wrong at work would pretty much do a tip top job of rounding off the trio.

Let’s hope I’m wrong!

Keep Rolling On

People are funny sometimes.

A few days ago I helped a mate of mine distribute a couple of thousand keys for the Warhammer Europe open beta.

The beta launch didn’t exactly go smoothly to say the least, but these things happen, after all that’s part of the process with betas.

Suffice to say, the response to the difficulties could be summarized generally as ‘outrageous’.

It’s a shame that so many people feel the need to pour scorn on things unnecessarily.

Counting down

August is gonna be a busy month, really busy. Plus there’s a number of things that I’ll be counting down to:

On or before the 15th the old boy’s moving pad. 21st is the old boy’s birthday and marks two years of me having a licence to drive a motor (no kills for 2 years, it’s almost a mirror of my counter-strike stats).

Then we get down to the fact that on the 30th it’ll be “I’m that little bit older” day.

Oh well, at least it’s payday on Friday!

Blog on

Well, it seems like this iPhone app might actually get me back in the habit of using this old blog rather than it just sitting here doing nothing.

I’ve decided that as soon as I get paid at the end of the month that I’m booking tickets for the Henry Rollins show (assuming that they’re still available). It’s been years since his stand up stuff was on Channel 4 (4later anyone?) but it was awesome then so it has to be even money that it’s just as good now?

Been slowly catching up on some of the old blogs I used to read (including Alphanor!). It’s made me appreciate how everyone had their own shit to deal with.

Anyway, onwards and upwards… must buy a fan!

iPress?

WordPress + iPhone = impressive.

It makes quite a change to be able to simply type away (or should that be tap?) without the need for a PC.

In fact the 2.0 software for the iPhone is pretty good all round. The improvements in speed, data entry & of course the addition of applications really enhance what was already a pretty impressive user experience.

In summary… get an iPhone!

What's going on on RAW?

Ok, that’s it.  I can’t watch it any more… who in the living hell is Mike Adamle and what in the hell is he doing on RAW.  Somebody sort it out and fire this man!

What a twat!

Nothing fancy here. Basically Rowan Williams (the current Archbishop of Canterbury) is a complete and utter twat.

You can read more about why here. The basic gist is that:

He says Muslims should not have to choose between “the stark alternatives of cultural loyalty or state loyalty”.

which is laughable. As things stand, everyone has to make those choices. That is the way things are, introducing a second set of legal methods is ridiculous.
