Stuff, it all adds up, you know?

I dont know, you know? Things are changing all around me and I'm afraid I am being left behind... It's all well and good saying this here, because the only people that will read it are people I dont know... I mean sure, I might know you, but I dont _KNOW_ you if you get what I mean... wispy, BigA, isengard, SerialCookie... I know you all, but I dont _KNOW_ you. I would never dream of saying self pittying rubbish to anyone that I know offline, mostly because I dont like most of the people I know offline.

Stuff is changing, I am changing, and I dont know why... I went into town yesterday (wednesday 12th aug.) and instead of blowing all my money on electronics and computer parts, I bought cloths, and not my regular cloths, I bought a pair of trousers (Ok, fine, they are grey/brown flared cords, but its what I like), somthing I would never have dreamed of buying two or three months ago, but suddenly, they seemed fitting, I also bought two 'neat' and clean t-shirts and a jumper... I dont do stuff like that, I waste my money on useless crap, not buy sensible things...

I lost contact with everyone... I havent seen my friend Chris in over a month, I have gone out with friends in over five or six months... Sure, I see people in work, but thats it, I only see them in work... I done socialise with them outside of work... I'm afraid by the time I am old enough to go out to nightclubs and parties etc..., that there will be nobody to go with...

Speaking of work, there was this guy in there on Monday I think it was, who got his kicks out of annoying me, degrading me, and insulting me... I pride myself on being higher than that... on being able to 'blow off' such people, but for some reason, that night, I couldn't. I was in work, so I couldn't just hit him, I would have probibly been arrested and fired, but I did end up screaming 'Fuck off you fucking cunt!' or somthing along those lines, which is somthing I regret, not because of anything he can do, but because I let him get to me, what I regret even more is that I was still really mad and I had to release it somehow, and quickly, so I punched a wall as hard as I could and scared the shit out of one of my co-workers who looked genuinely worried for me (which I am greatful for, even if I cant tell her) and I hurt my knuckels, I still, even now have bruises accross my hand (and today is Friday 13th, ooh, scary :s ).

I still dont have a girlfriend, its been over two years since I broke up with Sarah, and I still havent found anyone else, thats pathetic...

I broke my Windows HDD (40gb) so now, all I have is a couple of drives in and around 4gb, a 1.2gb and a few 2gb's that are all in machines... I dont have any decent working windows installations, so now I am running Fedora Core 2 as my desktop OS which is good, because its forcing me to learn more about linux. I even have my dad using it.

I havent played the bass in ages, but thats nither here nor there... whats more disturbing is my dependance on dreamweaver for webdesign, since I lost my windows installation the only coding I done was for omin0us ( http://dtors.ath.cx ) where he wanted to be able to display either a PNG or a GIF based on what browser was viewing it (IE doesnt support transparency in PNG's) and even that was only around ten lines with whitespace... Unfortunately my dad used windows a lot for work and stuff, so I am going to have to fork out around 100 for a new 160GB HDD for that, I want to partition 20gb windows, 20gb storage for my stuff, 20gb for music, movies, games etc... and the other 60gb for linux (with twice as much swap as I have ram). I am also going to be building a linux based PVR in a micro case etc... for around 300 (check out http://www.ebuyer.co.uk for stuff).

I have learned a lot about linux recently, I learned about modifying the entries of /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ to change what services start when linux does (Fedora Core 2), I have learned how to set up vsFTPd (very secure file transfer program daemon) and to creat a chroot jail for users in it so their home directory appears to be /. I have learned about putting Linux on my router, a linksys WRT54G, even if I didnt get to cross compile BitchX to run on a MIPS archetecture...

I have been reading up on radio stuff and I am in the proccess of building a half-watt mono FM transmitter (a modified velleman K1771 FM oscillator kit) in a nice box that can be set up in a 'plug & play' manner.

I haven't found any more vulnerable websites lately, Digital Paradox was pretty much my main accomplishment to date, but eventually I will get to do somthing noteworthy...

Current Projects:
I am gonna set up a nice linux server running on a 200mhz Compaq Deskpro with 32mb of RAM, a 32x CD Rom drive, and around a 2gb HDD. I havent decided on a distro yet, but it will probibly either be Slackware 9.1 or RedHat 9.0 (Server Install).

Greetings to:
Nobody really, sorry...

Mood: Self Pity, Melodramatic, Lonely

Is this what depression feels like?

    sometimes the best friends to have are online... sometimes its hard to explain your full self over face to face... i've chatted witha few people with webcams back and forth... but i hated it... its that not being able to see the face and the reaction i think...



    eh... you might be maturing man.. its good to waste your money yes.. but its also good to have some useful things... who knows what.. say.. the future mrs. you might like you in?



    good luck man.. fun projects ;)
