Is senility contagious?

June 18th, 2008 by Dave

I hope not, although recently I seem to have caught an accute case of it. I had a great idea for a blog post on Saturday, but between having the idea and screwing my ankle (AGAIN!!!), by the time I got home I had forgotten it.
This is happening with monotonous regularity at the moment [...]

Wolfstock…or Wolfstonbury

May 3rd, 2008 by Dave

So, Born Wild have been playing for 90 minutes if you don’t include warm-ups. They are pretty good to be honest.
A few poor covers, but some good quality stuff too.
Thought I would send a quick update to show you the view from my living room window. It’s like having my very own VIP [...]

Hmm - There could be a reason for the price…

May 3rd, 2008 by Dave

So…I moved into a flat that is above a busy Irish pub in Frankfurt. The rent is great and to be honest the noise doesn’t bother me. In fact, since I moved in, it has been considerably quieter than I anticipated.
Tonight, however, may test this theory. The bar across the road from [...]

German Customer Service…

April 16th, 2008 by Dave

Seems to be a bit of an oxymoron to me. I do not have the internet as arranged. I now have to wait an additional week to get it sorted, as the engineer that was supposed to be at my apartment between 08:00 and 16:00 did not show up.
He did however find the [...]

No internet….aaaargh

April 13th, 2008 by Dave

So right now (according to my ISP), I have until Wednesday to wait until my net gets reconnected.
Quite frankly it is killing me at the moment. No blog to bore you senseless with, no pr0n to surf for (just kidding mum)..
No updates to my (perfectly legally acquired) TV show collection. I am [...]

Tired and back…sort of

April 9th, 2008 by Dave

Well, I am back home and should be back online around the 16th of this month, a little while after they originally said, but not too bad I guess. It will give me the opportunity to get my apartment in order I suppose.
I had a hell of a week, but it was very enjoyable…I [...]

Almost there…

March 31st, 2008 by Dave

To quote Billy Connolly….. Jesussufferingfuck
Everytime I look around the apartment and think.. “Just another hour or so”, I discover something else that has been bloody forgotten.
Still, it would appear that I have been blessed by <INSERT DIETY OF PREFERENCE HERE>, as my friends are pretty bloody amazing.   Let’s recap my last few days:
Friday:

Work as normal [...]

Pick and choose…apparently

March 28th, 2008 by Dave

Had a great one yesterday at work. As I have said before, I run a Service Desk and this means that we are responsible for logging all user issues into a ticketing system.
Sometimes we fix them straight away, other times we have to pass them on to other teams. Yesterday, we transferred a [...]

Procrastination…sounds more active than it is

March 27th, 2008 by Dave

So, as you may recall from my Don’t Panic post, I don’t have a lot of time to get quite a lot done. However, I am sorely lacking the kick up the arse required. Let me give you last night as an example, my planning was thus:

Get home
Have a bite to eat
Finish main [...]

It’s official - I hate packing

March 25th, 2008 by Dave

Dagnabit packing sucks.
I mean, just when you think you have cleared a room, you find more stuff somewhere else that should be in the box you JUST FUCKING SEALED.
AAAAAAAAARGH
Still…I think I am getting there. Just need to figure out how to get 2 apartments full of gear into a Mercedes Sprinter van…seeing as the [...]

Back once again..

March 21st, 2008 by Dave

So on Friday 14th all hell broke loose due to my server being attacked.  This in turn took down every site attached to it (around 15-20), a couple gameservers and a voice chat server.
At 21:03, I recieve this email
Hello!
Please stop this or your server will be disconnected.
“List of attacks to other server.”
I probably don’t need [...]

Don’t panic!!!!

March 14th, 2008 by Dave

Ok, so after the break up I have been somewhat of a procrastinator - I haven’t quite packed as much as I had planned, nor have I started redecorating for the new tenant after I leave.
I have found time to blog recently, but seeing as I do that on my 2nd monitor whilst watching TV [...]

I am currently….

March 12th, 2008 by Dave

…happy - There is no other word for it right now.
Lets look at the contributing factors:

Liverpool won last night, which means we* are in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League
I managed to replace my fire damaged cooker extractor fan unit for €25
I have the blog bug**
I have confirmed that I have an apartment to [...]
