life

A few days ago, we had a party for Taylor as on Monday next week, he'll be on his way to begin his life in the Navy, well at least the next 6 years. And good on him. He's found something that he wanted to do, and is going for it. Unfortunately for his friends, that involves packing up and leaving the state. That's the unselfish look at it.

Oh, sure he'll be back whenever he gets time off. But that will only be once or twice a year, so I'll be loosing a good friend. That's the sappy way of looking at it.

When you don't see someone on the regular, a lot of things can change. Especially when the other person is going through a big change in their lifestyle. Of course we'll keep in touch via email, or the odd phone call, but that's not the same as sitting down and having a beer or three with a mate.

Well... Enjoy the gallery of the whole event. Some pictures are NSFW.

In this magical land where some of us just never get a break, my computer's hard drive has developed what is known as the "click of death." It's a problem that is common with IBM DeskStar series drives. Where the drive will develop a click that is quite different to the normal seek sound. It's got something to do with a chip overheating and lots of bad sectors forming, and once the problem occurs the drive could really die at any moment.

So, in an effort not to be without a computer and be absolutely bored at home I've ordered a 160GB HD that should arrive this week. So, until my original drive dies, I'll have 220GB of space.

Taylor's shipping off party is this Saturday, it should be a great event. Hopefully I can get a bunch of pictures of the whole she-bang before I get too drunk. ;)

My sister might be showing up for awhile too, so I might see if she can bring the video camera and get some footage, and I'll throw together a quick DVD of footage and pictures. Just for something more permanent to remember the whole event.

Pictures from the weekend away are now up!.

22 pictures... Not quite the 81 that I took, but these are some of the best ones that show the area off.

They're also a little out of order, but that's not really important.

Huzah!

After many updates last week, I appear to have strayed away from this place again. But fear not, it is I - again.

How about how one of those updates where I just jump around to random things again? Everybody seems to love those. Well, even if you don't. Here goes...

For all those that were yelling at me, puncturing my bike tires and throwing stones at my mother's car (pft, none of that happened... Dramatic sounding though, right?) - The smileys are back!

With the new statistics thing I enabled on this site, I can see how many times each article (images included) has been viewed, and there was one major surprise over the few weeks this has been running. There's a certain image in one of the galleries that has been viewed substantially more than others. For awhile, I couldn't figure out why. Until I typed "cleavage shot" into Google. Now, the name of the image has since been changed to something more, uh... suitable. But you can now see why this image has been viewed so many times.
