Being ill sucks
This entry was posted on January 25, 2008
I have a headache, a sore throat, and a runny nose. It started yesterday and I’ve been to the doctor - apparently it’s just a “virus” and it will go away over the next few days.
Unfortunately, I’m busy for the next few days and being ill is the last thing I need! I’m going down to London to stay with a friend, watch the new Johnny Depp film, and see two thirds of Simple Plan’s “Tour of Camden.” I’ll be in a busy city (I’m used to the countryside) with loads of people, loads of traffic exhaust fumes, and loads of noise!
Gah! Why can’t I be ill another time, like next weekend? Unanticipated illnesses suck.

I hate flash!

I hate social networks, and I also hate flash! Sure, flash has some bonuses, but to me flash is the following:
- A way to annoy your visitors
- A way to confuse your visitors
I don’t like being annoyed, and I don’t like being confused. I don’t want you to give me music on your site. Your site is not a jukebox, and my iTunes is playing better music than you anyway. I don’t want to see youtube videos embedded in your site. A simple text link is much nicer and faster to load.
I don’t want to see you have a pet animal in your sidebar - I have my own dog to play with. I don’t need you to give me a flash clock (I have a watch for that), and I don’t need flash sudoku or any other silly game like that.
And don’t even get me started on flash adverts! I don’t need a free ipod, I highly doubt I’ve won a holiday, and if I hear buzzing one more time, my laptop is going out of the window. And it will be all your fault, Mr Flash.
The only good thing, to me, about flash, is that the add-on isn’t installed in my copy of IE6. I also don’t have administrator privileges on that computer, so even if I wanted to install the add-on (which I don’t), I couldn’t.
What annoys you most about flash? Or are you one of these crazy people who enjoys it?

I do love a cute blonde…

Seeing this guy (Johnny Christ) and his band (Avenged Sevenfold) play live completely made standing in a cold and soggy Wolverhampton for eight hours oh so worth it. He’s cute, he’s blonde, he’s talented… and my clothes are still soggy from Sunday.
