Currently listening to Floorpunch....

Hmmmm Friday, which means beer and BF2! I am now in the top 100,000 players in BF2, had a damn good game with RtK and =EAF=TomFoster in the EAF server (Karkand). My next goal is to get in the top 10,000 then the top 1000, 100 and ultimately the top 10!

In other news, you may have heard that YouTube are putting in place stricter rules on content, most notably 'profanity' (Awful Americanism) and 'Sexually suggestive' videos. Basically, any video which has 'profanity' or sexual content will be demoted, think about this, this is American Puritanism in action, but hang on one second, let's remember that YouTube LLC is a private company, they aren't a public service, which I think is a fact many people seem to forget, YouTube can restrict or delete videos however it likes, YouTube has become such an important part of our online lives that it seems we have forgot this fact.

<rtk> "01:17 - RTk leaks the lizard!!" /U

So yeah, don't blame YouTube or Americans, YouTube is an American site, but it's also a private business, I say to anyone, if you wish to create a truly 'free' and open video sharing site, then do it, the Pirate Bay equivalent of YouTube might be interesting, although then again it may just be filled with porn and hate, who knows!

Dudes... I have three fucking beers left - yooooooooooooosh!

Hellwrath in need

It's 05:00 as I write this. I have just brushed my teeth and I am ready for bed, no sign of rtk tonight, had a good game in BF2 in uKm before and EAF earlier this evening. I am so near my goal of 30,000 points I can smell it, although I still neeed 50,000 before I can reach my next rank.

By the way, had four 1664s tonight, the normal kind, not the widget sort, anyway, earlier this evening I completed leg #3 of my epic around the world trip in X-Plane. I flew in my trusty King Air B350 from Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada to Schefferville, Quebec, Canada. I'll tell you, the weather was fucking awful, I'm amazed I got down in one piece, it's damn good to be in the comfort of my hut now, although the locals don't speak much English.... anywaaaaay, my target is to get to Nuuk, Greenland soon, then it will hopefully be plain, or should that be 'plane' sailing to Reykjavik and then onto the Faroe Islands and the UK!

Erm, in other news, well there's not much else to report except that I now have 43 things to be getting on with and that's about it, I'm very lazy at the moment, apart from the X-Plane stuff, I'm doing very little, I hope the other guy sorts me out, anyway, quite drunk here and desperately in need of sleep, bye for now!

The things you can come across on 43things....

Person on 43things who wants to be black
Saaaaaayy whaaaaaat! Have to hand it to her though, she's got dedication.

Anyway, got some 1664s in for tonight, hoping to enjoy some BF2, music and general chillage! Was on EAF before with Embed101, JinHit and the others, damn GG guys, very close to my 30,000 goal now, I can almost smell it! Argh I'm already adding inline CSS bad, bad, bad, still, there's much to be done, I need to think out how I'm going to deal with images in blog posts, I mean images are vital but I want to be able to upload images and not worry about resizing, I might use a PHP script to generate resized images on the fly, I think I'll also have a look at Mootools and those other JavaScript kits to add a bit of functionality to the site and have those cool 'Lyteboxes' when viewing images.

That reminds me, this site will only use JPEG and PNG images - no GIFs! Just having a nice cuppa, some home-made biscuits and quite possibly a packet of Flamin' Hot Monster Munch in a minute, an episode of Father Ted is on BBC 2 at 11, yes, Father Ted on BBC 2, it's being aired in tribute to producer and writer Geoffrey Perkins who died in August.
