That's more than I've ever written for school... I find it kind of odd that I can find time to write lengthy blog posts but I never seem to have the time to write school papers.

Ah well, no need to waste brain cells on school...

Media assignment, had to shoot a video for an already released song, then detail the planning that went into it, problems, all that kind of crap. It's not so much the length, or the fact that it was overly difficult. More the fact that I got in from college, told myself I was going to do it, and got started on it straight away.

Hell a canny mind what a was going to write :(

Something about Japanese films. Something else and then a was gonnie say something but its all gone out the window! Been eating more than usual recently and I dont know why. Had a plate of chips the other day. But instead of brown sauce, or BBBQ sauce I went with Reggie Reggie sauce. And that worked quite well over the salt & vinager.

Need to do that one again!

Damn it, I've been eating a lot as well lately. It seems whenever I sleep in, (which I can do a lot since I work from home), I eat like a horse. I must have gained a good ten pounds in the past month. I've noticed now that I'm waking up at a normal time, I don't eat as much.

Btw, when you say chips, do you mean french fries or potato chips? (I'm guessing fries) Also, what do you call potato chips? Are the chips also? If so, how do you differentiate in conversation between the two? Please forgive this stupid American for having so many quesions.

No problem I remember their being a big thread about this in a forum I was on years ago that dosnt exist any more. When you say chips in the UK your talking about french fries (which are actually from Belgium 'fun fact') you say crisps when your talking about potato chips.

Just think....

Thanks for the clarification.

Right now I'm bored as hell. I'm sitting here waiting for a client to get back to me so I can "resolve" some issues the client has been having (the issue here being that the client needs to ditch her ISP and get someone that can provide a reliable connection). I'm also somewhat bitchy because I've stopped drinking soda and am going through caffeine withdrawal.

Also, in the forum someone asked about dvd software. I felt kind of bad sending them to general. I remember that I once asked a question about my car in the general forum. I thought I might have a blown head gasket, and I wanted to get some opinions. The first response was something along the lines of "look for a milky white substance under the oil cap." I responded that it wasn't there, at which point I was laughed at for not seeing the "obvious" sex joke. I then had to kindly explain to said poster that while I got the joke, that a prime symptom of a blown head gasket is coolant mixing with your oil, which looks like, you guessed, a white, milky substance. Needless to say, I've concluded that the general forum is pretty much useless.

Its one saving grace is that it gives me a good laugh, also its the perfect snapshot of uncensored american youth. A way into their heads and how they think when they believe nobody knows who they are and they can say anything. Of course it dosnt acount for everyone. and I wont judge anyone unitll I meat them. But atleast when I eventually go over their. I will know what makes a good few of them tick.

Hmmmmm semi-productive stuff today! Made a wee bit of headway with the writing. Made contact with a few people on the trip so pics are heading my way some time this week. Made a proxy script to bypass the uni's web-filter. Technically its no a real proxy as its only a bare bones implimentation of file_get_contents() in php so I can view the pages they block, but I cant post. And it dosnt show some images.

But means I will be able to read the forums in the labs as I can get to my own site (that isnt blocked yet) I will upload and use it their. Keeping it hidden. Might even put a simiple login on it just to be safe

If anyones in need of such a thing and is too lazy to make it themself....! Doubt that though!

<?php
$fgc = file_get_contents($_POST['url']); 
$fgc = substr($fgc, 0, -7);

echo $fgc.'
<style type="text/css">
div#abc_footer
{
  position:absolute;
  bottom:0;
  left:0;
  width:100%;
  height:25px;
  position:fixed;
  background:#ccc;
  color:black;
}
</style>
<div id="abc_footer"><form action="./index.php" method="post">
&nbsp;&nbsp;URL:&nbsp;<input type="text" name="url" value="http://www.google.com" size="50" />
<input type="submit" name="go" value="Go" /></form></div></html>';
?>

Also the snow is kick-ass. Totaly wish we were getting whats pounding the englanders at the moment. Damn envious at that one! Were only getting a couple inches at the best of imes. Wind is a pain in the arse but not any worse than normal. Dont really need to wear a jacket out just yet as the snow is stoping the cold rain :)

Nice. I just use the glype proxy script. It hasn't been blocked by my school yet, and it's been up for about a year now... Gotta get around to password-protecting it, as I don't want random idiots going onto MySpace and overloading my server.

If there's one thing I've learned about proxies, it's that you can't have proxy written anywhere on the page. Most commercial filters block a site if it has "proxy" written anywhere on it.

I used to run a couple of proxies, for school. I had one that got pretty popular, most of the school were using it after taylorwilsdons got blocked (I introduced them to it ;)). Eventually I sold it for $100, wasn't much, but considering all the traffic was free and from school and cost me nothing, I made 1000% ROI :D

I used Zelune, checked out Glype, but never actually used it. Zelune was nice and easy to skin. :3

Glype was pretty easy to skin as well. My design was really minimal. Nothing ut a gray background with a single input box. No instructions, nothing. That way only people who knew what they were doing could use it. I used Zelune for some time, but it didn't support flash games or youtube. Glype supports Flash and JS a bit better, making JS-happy sites like Facebook run a bit smoother.

Thats what a figure also, the one at uni used to be simple. Then they upgraded it. But you could still get around it by entering the IP address. Now its insane. They have subscribed to some service used by busineses etc that keeps a database of sites and has all manner of policies. It acutally works amazingly well for what it was designed for!

Eh. I don't consider Valentine's® Day® a real holiday. It's become all fake and commercial, and I see no point in it.
