Took a trip to the Ace's Cafe last tuesday with my
Uncle and his friends. My Uncle's built himself an AC Cobra (all original parts
mind, not replica) and basicly just wanted to show it off on classic car
night.We must have roled up at 8.30 but the place was allready packed. Even
with a 1978 Cobra the only place we could park was on the pavement.... across
the street. But, as it was inbetween an AC Ace and a Triumph Stag, it was in
good company.
There were all manner of classic cars there, from early ferraris and jags to
astin martins and austin healys. Even a formula one car, the actual green jag
XK8 from die another day (with fake gatling gun attached) and a 1969 Dodge
Charger made appearances.
as just about every weekday of the month caters to a diferent taste, with classic
car nite, american hotrod night, classic bike night, yamaha night etc, there'll
always be something to suit every petrol head. pics.

Just got back off holiday down on the south coast
and all in all I gotta say I enjoyed myself.
Highlights were, The Aquarium (seein the sharks and stingrays is always good),
The Bournemouth Eye (basicly a big tethered helium ballon that ascends up to
500feet over the coast), Witherspoons pub (prob spent more in there over the 3
days than on anything else) and seein "Ghosts of the Abyss 3d" at the
IMAX theatre (and im not ashamed to admit i cried like a baby at parts of it,
the Titanic will always be very emotional thing for me).
Big fat bummers on the trip, Havin a slight stomach bug and not being able to
eat more than rabbit food (god i really wanted a steak) and becoming single
again after 15 months of dating (yes, again. It seems I do not have much luck
in the long term relationship stakes)

OMG, i have just had a really weird experience. i
stopped thinking. i cant remember when i last did that. for a few moments there
was absolutly nothing goin on in my head. i didnt have the 4 layers of
subconcious thoughts i usually have goin on. there wasn't the 2 or 3 old songs
or old sounds im usually listening to in my mind goin on. i wasnt replaying any
visual images in my minds eye at all. also i wasnt taking in any new
information thru my eyes or ears at all. they were there, i just wasnt paying
any attenion to them. it was like total internal silence. a big pile of
nothing.
and it gave me a head ache.
bummer
I wonder, is this what buddists mean by spiritual enlightenment thru
meditation? i hope not, it sucks. ;-(
SUN
07/09/2003
OK, so I'm only only updating about once every 6
months. But that's ok cos no one's ever readin this anyway.
So what's been happening? Well i got made redundent from my job in the city. So
now i work as a Groundsman for a race track. and know what? It's a step up in
my book. I travel 3 1/2 hours less a day, get paid more, specially with
overtime and bank holidays, have a major tan, don't have to wear a shirt (at
all if i feel like goin topless) and get to drive a tractor. kewl.
One thing about workin outside is that i've become even more fascinated by
sunsets than I was before. I mean I was always fascinated by 'em but now I'm
absolutly mesmorised. check 'em out for yaself.
I'm currently tryin to rebuild an old motor bike. and i mean old. It's a 1981
Yamaha RD250LC and its a bitch to get parts for. Rescued it from Budge who was
about to go at it with an anglegrinder and turn it into a dirt bike. Yikes.
Theres been a few changes on the PC front as well. actually i dont even have
the old pcs (nostromo, sulaco and auriga) any more. Now i have a Dual Piii
550mhz called 'Pandora' (cos every time i open the box something awful happens)
and a 1.9ghz athlon called 'lilith' (who was the first woman before Eve
for those of you in the know) pic.
I got made FTP admin for www.fragland.com
which basicly means i keep an eye on the net to see when new demos and patches
are released that the rest of my fellow fragLANders may be interested in and
then pimp them up to our own FTP webserver. Of course I have to check them for
quality purposes first, its a tough job, but someone's gotta do it ;-)
As you may be able to see, bein made redundent was really a blessing in
disguise. It's meant i can get heavily into my hobbies which to be honest were
being heavily neglected. before. Another of my pastimes that I've got back into
heavily is Anime and Manga. Theres been a lot of really good series start over
the last year or so that i just didnt have time for before. I even managed to
catch the London showing of 'Cowboy Bebop: knocking on heavens door' when it
was released this summer. The missus wasnt best impressed but I really enjoyed
it. ;-) I've even taken up learning the Japanese language. I figured I spend a
lot of my time at work wearing a walkman out and about on my own so why not put
the time to good use. of course I look a bit silly standing out on the track
all day talking to myself in a language that no one else at work can understand
but hey, what do I care.
There's been plenty of gig action this summer. Saw Marylin Manson at Brixton,
Live at Shepards Bush, White Stripes at Brixton, Marylin Manson at Rouge for
his album launch, System, Metallica, Good Charlotte and Sum 41 (as well as many
others) at Reading. off to see Mister David Bowie at wembley soon and
Madness at Wembley yet again. Think I've seen Madness live more than any other
band. 'cept maybe the Foo Fighters... or maybe Marylin. OK, scrub that.
Personal appearence has had a bit of a change about this year too. Like I was
at college, I think I've had just about every hair colour goin this year.
Again, who said redundency wasnt fun. ;-)
Anyhoo, see you in about 6 months then

If u liked the matrix and are looking forward to the
next one much like Professor Pavlov's dog waiting for the next dinner bell then
I'd suggest a visit to www.intothematrix.com
Available there for download are 2 (soon to be 4) anime style animated shorts
depicting some of the back story to the matrix universe, the creation of A.I,
the uprising of the machines and so on.
I've just finished watchin the first and i've gotta say I'm somewhat blown away
by the sheer quality of work here. I'd say it's on a par with some of the high
budget commercial animation coming out of japan at the moment. And seein as its
free to download you can't really turn ya nose up at that.
apparently there will be 9 lots of shorts by june of approx 10 minutes each, so
thats roughly a whole movie's worth of footage. At about 150mb each for the
largest resolution down to 30mb for the smallest you really need broadband for
this, or else download it at work when everyone else has gone home for the
night. ;-)

so i havent updated in a while (and i mean a while) and
guess what, i aint really gunna start again now either. to be honest i havent
really got time (or that interesting a life) for daily updates. heres a bit of
a run down of whats been goin on.
new girlfriend; yay me. very nice girl, doin her masters down in kent so i only
really get to see her at weekends. Well I say new but we've been together since
last June so just goe's to show how long since i've updated innit.
same job; same pay, same crap commute, just now with added antagonism. bummer
same friends; no change there, and thats the way i like it :-)
new hairstyle; i'm now a blond, well a yellow really. was told at work i had to
keep my hair gelled back and tidy... so i did as i was told. wasn't told i
couldnt go bright yellow though, they should have been more specific really.
link to piccy maybe? yeah, why not

A good book can make you laugh out loud, it can also
make you cry inside.
It can take you from the highest mountain whilst being curled up in your own
bed.
A good author can write great tales, but a great author invites you to finish
them of with your own imagination.
They're not there to tell you how it is, just point you in the right direction.

i was away last weekend for the second of 2002's excellent fragland lan sesh's.
as usual i a) had a great time, b) got beaten, a lot, and c) got sod all sleep.
the games were excellent, the network performed beutifully and dwarf once again
pulled off a triumph. top job that man.
a friend of mines been in hospital for a bit of surgery and is recuperating
nicley. what a little trooper she is. lookin good girl.:-)
had i mentioned ive got a new flatmate since gem moved on. everyone say hi to
jay. keep an eye out for him on the net, he's a UT and Q3 nut and goes by the
name of "messiah". i'm gonna try and intrioduce him to the joy of
fragland but its early days young grasshopper.
still working up town at roofgardens.
its one hell of a nice place to work, instead of walkin outa my office and into
a concrete jungle i spend my day surrounded by trees, streams and ducks..
strangly quiet ducks come to think of it but they're definatly ducks.
the sites and a bit of an update, nothing major, just removed a lot of the
crap, replaced the gifs and logos, updated the links, jokes, etc etc. i'm gonna
get rid of the inline frame soon cos it still dont work right with linux. (mind
you, neither do i so thats about right)
i've given up on my 4th pc, mithril, cos i just wasnt getting anywhere with
linux and to be honest it was getting under my feet most of the time. i think
