Damn Right Mate.

Happy new year to all and hope you had a great Christmas.

This year I got a Blender and a personal groomer, I love having a banana smoothie for breakfast and strawberry milkshakes for lunch and looking pretty with my new personal groomer all my ear hairs are gone and my nadike beard is all trimmed up.

Been playing Halo Reach and F1 2010 on the xbox and watching Burn Notice in my spare time.

Also been Sleeping and eating, I also bought my self a steamer, veggies taste so much better now.

Thats about all to report for now.

Here comes 2011, not long to go until 21 12 2012 the end of the Mayan calendar, what will happen, my tip is on the Solar Maximum starting.

Now I need some rest, Been an extremely busy 2 weeks and it is nearly over, yes I am crying :p ,what did I do on my holidays? I had a todo list which started off small and grew, every time I would do something I would think of something else.

Well the start of my holidays began pretty relaxed other than my sleeping patterns sucked, up all night to bed at 4 am up at around 10 and noon, but got into the cleaning the house and coffee with friends and family, Did the dismantle everything approach and cleaned everything, that cleaned up most of my allergies.

Then I started working on my websites, have done a tonne of work and updates, even eventually moved them to a faster server after a verbal email fight to the death with Hostgator about server speed, screen shots are the greatest I showed them who was right, now with knownhost.com on a vps that is so quick it actually loads in under a second after is cached by the browser, 2.6 prior to, much better than the 5 – 12 seconds I was getting from the former.

Did some work on the rental house to make it more comfortable for me, installed blinds in the bedroom, now its 10 degrees cooler when the sun is out, got me-self a real coffee machine  as I was sick of running down to Gloria Jeans for some real coffee, though I bought a couple of flavours from there bean range, still have to support my favourite coffee makers.

The only thing I did not get done was wash and polish my car, though the amount of bugs on the front grill suggests it should have been done, it can be done any time so just going to put it aside.

I got a massage in Geelong cause my back was hurting, got cupped for the first time.

Now more about my websites:

Psyspritual.com is now CMS (content management system) a spiritual psychology discussion community, major changes there still a bit of work ahead of me on that one.

7Meditations.com was just tweaked a bit and a tidied up, creating a new dynamic to slow those damn lazy people who cut and paste, really what is the point?

Had to reinstall this blog as the database became corrupted, that’s why you should always back up often.

Numinousjourney.com is no more, though I am keeping the domain name, all the posts will be re-witten and submitted to psyspirituals blog under the numinousjourney, whats the point at having 2 of the same thing.

Lifehassles.com is getting there slowly finding decent videos is not as easy as I had thought, found tonnes of medicre videos but will get there.

Anyway thanks for lookin’ and see you again soon.

(Sorta proof read! good enough for diary entry.)

Watch the Pearl Jam guys put on the Devo act for Halloween last year.

Its been a while since I have used a Linux OS, last time was Ubuntu 8.04 witch was about 2 years ago, the changes have been great and Ubunuttu is so much easier to navigate now.

Also everything now works on my Toshiba A200 laptop, including Webcam and Finger scan log in, I found some very useful tools to manage everything from my websites  to learning to program all for free, though some things are free on windows and Linux, Ubuntu is much smoother other than a few bugs with conflicts with other programs.

The laptop has been sitting in a hole for over a year because of a failed hard drive, but I decided to finally replace the hard drive. Ubuntu works so well on it I am going to leave it on here and use my desktop as my Windows system.

I will have fun with games and learning to program in Java on NetBeans on Linux and see how I go, I may yet get bored learning programming but I will try.

If you have not giving Ubuntu a Try you can use a live CD to check it out!

If you have nothing to hide your a good boring person like me, but if you have something to hide and then put it on facebook or you have great friends who think everyone should see you doing something stupid. Or you have kids you should watch this info Video I found on Vimeo.
