Today's mood: :-)


I have blond hair again! Whee! I've had my hair cut (but not short to spike this time) and highlighted in a messy Ricky Martin/Brad Pitt stylee. I'm quite chuffed with the result actually because it looks quite nice. Of course, when I come to style it myself it won't look anything like it did as I left the hairdresser's this evening, but never mind.

Today was an incredibly productive day, actually. Got on with the website I'm building for the other group company and did a whole wedge of stuff for a paying client for a 9am deadline tomorrow, which explains why I'm still sitting at my desk at 3am writing this. Ah well. Tomorrow off, though. Not too bad.

So we've got these clients whose streaming video and stuff we host. Nothing naughty, unfortunately. Just soldiers in this case (grr). Anyway. It struck Jon and I that there was no, well, front end, to what the punter got, so I ended up writing this control console thingie in PHP that looks at what videos we host and their thumbnails and stuff and puts it all into a groovy looking piece of shit which then aids Joe Punter in the construction of their website. Mucho fab. Well - I'm happy with it, anyway.

The fault causing power failures in the office has been diagnosed, but there's nothing the electricity board can do about it for now. Until, apparently, it goes "bang." That's mildly concerning.

I found a discarded DVD outside the office this evening: "Secrets of Sensational Sex." Nobody's really entirely sure how it got there and it was too scratched to play, unfortunately. Porn that's not, officially, porn I suppose.

My DVDs arrived! Rah!

Blimey! It's nearly February. 23 days to go. I don't think the six pack is going to happen! Smoked for the first time in about a week. Working late, concentrating, etc etc. I'm allowed to.

AI have given me an AI paid-for mobile. Coo! Stocks all doing nicely - and about time too!

Sainsbury's have stopped selling Attitude. Well, I'm not sure about that but certainly they didn't have any in when I went to buy mine. (Jon's fed up with me reading his.) Had some scared looking boy sent to the "magazine room" to check, bless him. A random man then said "Oh, you can buy Attitude in the newsagents opposite Barclays." Shame he wasn't cute.
