.Net crazyness

Ok I get the feelings its not just me but why oh why does .Net have to give out such complicated and hard to digest error messages??? Have spent most of my afternoon hunting down some assembly and file based errors. Nothing difficult I hear you say, and I agree

The Rugby : Wales Vs England

This weekend saw the arrival of the much anticipated Wales vs England six nations game, now i have to admit i am a bit of a pessimist when it comes to our teams playing.

Based on the first match we played against Scotland i was not looking forward to this game, seeing that Scotland does not have a strong team at the moment and we barely managed to win against them, i had the feeling the match against england was going to give us a good beating.

BLOG mistreatment...

just need to apologise to everyone as i have been neglecting this blog really badly, i am going to start using it more regularly.

I am also suffering problems with comment spam, i am trying to work my way through a few thousand comments that have been posted by bots. i think this calls for some serious database surgery. as a result i have also decided to turn on user sign-up this should hopefully reduce the amount of rubbish i get even more.

thanks

ScrewFix to the rescue!!

Well i have to give it to the guys at screwfix, they got my butt out of a sticky problem that was starting to drive me mad.

A while ago i bought my girlfriend a small car for her to learn to drive in, and during one of my driving sessions in the car, i managed to sheer a bolt off that was supporting the alternator.

I have joined the Iphone masses.

a few days ago I became the proud owner of an iPhone (no its not the 3G version), now I can already hear the people saying I have sold my soul in search of happiness or to help Steve retire a lot happier, but either way I have to admit so far its a brilliant device.

Xcode -> Cocoa -> Objective C

Xcode
Well i have finally taken the plunge... for years (6-8) i have been developing software for windows systems, i have written many different programs for many different purposes in the past, so when i was blessed with the ability (enough free cash) to purchase an Apple Mac laptop i went for it.

So my obvious progression would be to start developing software for the Apple Mac. so i got stuck in, and was quite shocked at the time to find out that it was pretty much C / C++ or nothing.....

Now to me this was far to much of an uphill struggle to learn the C / C++ system just to knockout simple application and utilities, so i lay my interest to rest, eventually RealBasic came along....

Blink and you missed it.

Xmas
Think the subject says it all really, was it me or did Christmas go through quicker than a half cooked turkey sandwich?

Every year in my eyes Xmas seems to go by quicker and quicker, and as normal i have my theory as to why i think it is.

if your friends are anything like mine they start earlier and earlier each year, this year people started talking about xmas around about October, at this point i was excited about the thought of all the decorations, the chance of snow (how ever slim) the parties etc etc.

It Finally Happened

Spam
I knew this day would come, i even thought about it when i first setup this site, and like all those IT Admins out there that setup servers and leave FTP open with no password set, i thought....

It'll never happen to me.

but apparently my little part of the internet has been found out and defiled by those unrelenting Spambots, ok so what am i rambling about your asking?

New House!!


 Its been a little quiet on here latly and thats only thanks to me and my lack of time to post at the moment on Thursday last week me and my girlfriend finally completed on our first house !!

As a result i have now been given the commandments of the girlfriend to get it sorted, at this present time in life it needs some work to make it look shiny and new, so far i have managed to remove all the plasterboards from the downstairs ceilings, and partially dismantle a dividing wall.
