The Life and Times of Plod

Hoary hedgehogs are go, well lfs did my head in so i am currently

apt-get dist-upgrade

ing ubuntu .

OH MY GOSH! it is bloody hot today in work, just looked at the thermometor and apparantly its 37^oC inside, and 30^oC outside. While I have no doubt that this is probably wrong (cheap hardware).

Today I am mostly sucked off with people looking down on me, wtf is that about, I may not know very much, but I knuckle down and use the tools I’ve got.

Well life has got pretty mad. The world of plod is hectic, on the first hand; money is hyper tight, so tight in fact, outgoings exceed incomings, this is with cloth completely cut, am contemplating new and inventive ways to cut back, this might not be so bad in not so distant future, who knows. Aims and me are hyper in love, which is nuts, I mean, not that we weren’t before, but this new leace of life seems to have come from nowher, and its refreshing . Work is beyond hectic, I have so much on my plate, that added with my financial problems at the moment, pushes me closer and closer to a nasty place, but this is a different plod to the one we all new and hated, and I’m digging in hard and loving the preassure.

In a personal development capacity, I have decided to become a Zend Certified php developer; why i’ve made such a decision, well even though I’ve got six years in industry, I think it would be a good tool to have, and sorta makes sure I’ve got a complete base in the language.

While on this subject, this evening I took part in a web seminar on AJAX, called Building Dynamic Web Applications with AJAX by Joshua Eichorn Creator of phpDocumentor, I watched the seminar free of charge over on http://www.phparch.com/. Was interesting, cam, had shown me some simular stuff a while ago, but nothing around the scope of this, would like to get into it sometime, but the reason I signed up for the seminar at all, i wanted to see how this php|arch system worked, while contemplating paying for this training, yeah i know moneys tight, but your gotta speculate to accumelate.

Anyways all fun and games…

Blinking eck, I am aching from head to foot, my mustles haven’t fealt this fatigued since the last time i tried to get fit, and i’ve apparantly had a break to chill out, oops. Was pretty good fun mind, and maybe a bit of a brain break that was needed, lets see what the coming weeks have to bring.

It could be funny, in a richmans world. w00 stress++, but hey off to Newquay this weekend on a Sun holiday! Time to chav myself up for the weekend i think.

In other news, business partnership with my mother seems to be gaining momentum, but is it to little too late. Tune in for the next misadventure of “The life and times of plod” b0c f*cking b0c!

ps. I hate Data Flow Diagrams!

full tank of petrol, food for the house, and my belly’s full, all in an hour dinner break

What a rubbish feeling I have today, like everythings changing and instead of me going with any of it, i’m doing nothing pondering my next move, maybe one day I’ll be happier.&lt/melodrama&gt

Hey hey hey, the SWLUG, have started a planet, now I’ve seen these before, all members blogs all on one page by the magic of rss, but I wasn’t sure how they worked, but i must say, now I’ve got my head round it, it’s pretty cool, so check it out .

Aims and I went to a lug meeting last night at the shot in the dark cf, was pretty cool, got some welsh practice in with telsa, and met some fellow who works on (insert project when you find out), whos name was vlad . Then Aims and I went for a miss millys on the way home, and won a chicken burger w000!

Anyway lot on my plate in work atm, so toodlepips.

Ok, so I’ve not blogged in an age, tory’s didnt get in \o/, and talk of identity cards being a casualty \o/. Money’s pretty tight, but finally getting on top of cutting cloth and budgetting for small wage, car and mortgage, and besides personal business is picking up.

Hows the linux learning curve going, well i erm, kind of uninstalled my great ubuntu, in favour of trying to install Linux From Scratch. I thought this would be a great learning experience, which in some ways it is, but in other ways, maybe I jumped in a little too far.

So how am I, well pretty positive but stressing like hell about the old money.
