Been beavering away on HWDN today. I'm currently completely re-working the underlying code, making it much simpler and a lot lighter. I'm also adding support for jQuery and adding Fancybox, so you can view blog images in a nice little popup div (try clicking the image below).

HWDN will also be going social, I'll be adding links to my YouTube, Twitter, Xfire and Facebook accounts and hopefully incorporating social links to quickly post links to blogs, very exciting stuff! I'm also finally getting round to creating page links, in short the new HWDN is going to be awesome.

In BF2 I have finally become an officer and gained my butter bar (2nd Lieutenant), in less than 15,000 points' time I'll be a 1st Lieutenant, but that is some way away yet!


Also, get well soon to RtK who is currently ill, recover soon buddy, the festive season and new year are fast approaching!

I've been listening to TalkSport quite a bit lately, interesting to hear the callers they get on the late night phone-ins, in particular the BNP supporters, you really can tell that they're not 'all there', anyway, speaking of the BNP, I couldn't resist checking out the leaked membership list which has made the headlines this week, it was somewhat of a surprise to see members from postcodes such as WA15, WA16 and SK9 on the list I must say, also interesting to see a few from my hometown, who interestingly almost all gave their town as Sale, Manchester, despite Sale not actually being in Manchester, I'm guessing those members are not originally from my town or really are that ignorant to not know their own address, although can this only be expected from these Sun-reading, lager-swilling knuckle draggers? That said however, and without wanting to sound like I'm defending the party, it is disturbing to see some of the comments from those on the BNP witch-hunt, you really do have to question the sanity of these extremists who are supposed to support democracy and freedom and tolerance, yet plot violence and harrassment against members of the public just for being members of a political party they happen to disagree with.

Anyway, in other news, I have completed Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas again in just over a total of 25 hours gameplay time, I'm hoping to get all the spraytags, horseshoes and photos, completing the fire missions really helped me escape the burning drugs factory in the final mission. Google's Gmail service now has some nice new themes for its users to pretty-up their inboxes, I've got a nice 'aqua' bluey sort of theme at the moment, very calming.

Another rant, I was on Facebook before and I now seriously think they should have some kind of mandatory IQ test prior to registration, I came across a group illegally displaying name and address details of three people involved in the on-going 'Baby P' case, accompanied with fanatical calls to hang those responsible, of course it's a tragic case, but we live in a modern, democratic country with laws and a judiciary system, it's not up to vigilante mobs to despatch justice, no matter how heinous the crime perpetrated, I really do wonder what goes on in these people's minds.

Got a bit of heartburn now, might go to bed now, I'm sick of being out of synch, no BF2 tonight sadly, although got a few projects and stuff to work on, good things are ahead for 2009 and beyond!
