had a late night again coding last night with my partner in the states, its hard work but also great because we can talk about the thing that are different with our countries!! I find it odd when they are ready for T time and im getting ready for hitting the sack!! its a long day my hours are from 10am till 6pm and then I started again at 8pm and coded right through till 5am!!!! then i have to wind down so get to bed for 6am – then im up again for 11.30 now that might sound lazy to you but im afraid thats the rest the old brain requires!! i cant imagine having a manual job and getting my hands dirty now but hey i don’t need to its my skill!! and im happy sat on my arse working its the way forward!!!! ive just had my dad round for a few cups of coffee and a chat which is a good break and i find myself so lucky to have such a great farther he is someone who you can trust and he is such a great person. Get back to some more coding but im still feeling a bit head taxed which is hard to understand until you actually do it. Im going to get a hour on the fretless today work on the track for the studio a bit more ive sussed a nice fill im going to touch the song with and Its inspired me to play some great slap routine which i can use as great practice routine that triplets and all thumb and can have a nice pop in it when required to break it up – 2morro the status is coming out and thats going to get a couple of hours as im going to be playing a song on it that needs touching up.
Im going to take a look at the stratocaster and just sort the action a touch i like the action low but i was trying to pull out some overbends again the other night and they were choking just on the edge maybe im overbending to much or maybe ive got the action to low ? something ill figure out… i cant moan about the strat certainly kicks the ass out of a lot of guitars ive heard its crystal clear through this little george dennis very open and musical tone is quite desirable and all 5 positions – i think they did me a favour with the new pickup and wiring (grease bucket) configuration, it like to think of it as a old strat which is cool with a upgrade -> hot rod 
LIFE:
Ive been having a think about recent happenings and sometimes things happen for the best im doing real well in business in mind in family in music – I have made losses in friends and maybe family which is sad but life must go on and unfortunately i have to say what i think and if its here in my personal space then thats my view its a shame people have to look into this if its not there business but people do thats people for you. I wont be expressing myself about the band anymore ive cut my ties ive learnt a big lesson from this and like i say had some fall outs. On the other hand im only moving forward. The new project which im working on will go were im hoping and i cant see me hanging around when it does go were I presume. So hopefully one of my wishes is to leave this sad old town behind if that happens ill be the happiest man walking.
Until then i will not bothering with anyone like they say keep my self to myself – who can you trust round here? let me tell you now -> nobody. So now it me my family my business my project my music happy days. Its quite funny but quite expected to get a phone call from one of my ex mates saying he is going to punch my head in for saying he isn’t a musician and say it to his face i would do that and i have said that but the funny thing some people just aint intelligent enough to argue or have a discussion they have to make threats all i can say to this is grow up and just be careful if this happens you will have to pay the consequences I have made the warning.
Im moving on and wish no ties or contact with the people in question if you dont like what you read dont read my personal site maybe go and do some work or spend time with your families, ive been witing this blog for years and write openly what i think this will continue until i go in the ground so im afraid you will have to simply accept this is what i do. i work with computers all day every day so yes i get time to blog.
later folks keep tuned in
first facebook change there layout thats meant to be easier
then twitter dont work ? just like usual !
watch this space…
There will be a revolution
What a mad day! got plenty of website work and for the first time ever working with people ive started a site for my mate paul waterhouse and he has just give me the information required no messing its like a gift from god – most people want a site dont help or give you information or mess you about which has made me put in place a document which states what they are getting before i start now! apart from this one with paul he is a gem check the site so far after a week its looking good now just need to optimise and get him to number one in google!! www.pw-cleaning.co.uk
I have a guy coming in the morning for a quick training session on the site and just need to add the last few bits of text which has been a nice little job! he wants to know why its not in google!? so i have to explain about the optimisation part which costs extra so hopefully another optimisation job in tomorrow.
Had a look at our michelles ipod which wasnt loading the apps and some movies werent playing so i just ran the updates in the app store which there was ten of and it was fixed! nice.
Ive fixed my ebay account and started auctions on my macbook – bass guitar and a laptop of a clients I can get this new bass payed for!! plus im going to advertise my old dining room table set 2morro and i have loads of cd’s and clothes to get on this week!!! $$$$
Just put two and two together and realised people getting involved in stuff they shouldnt really need to get a life – im not getting involved in peoples shit on facebook again you cant even trust your own family let alone half of the knob heads on it! So now the relationship we have must suffer because they have to get involved in things that is totally totally none of there business but they decide they have to stick there nose in ?!!!
Oh well good times – things are looking good for the new year – business is good starting to realise who I can trust im my so called family and its getting pretty frickin slim! but hey ho im happy as larry just getting on with my life all i can say is I love our lass my kids – my mum and dad – they are most important. This year i will be concentrating on them and myself. No more favours no more freebies. I got business and my bass playing and promethium to focus on. I have some other businesses up my sleeve which are fat so watch this space.
Anyone have any questions anyone want to butt into shit that dont even have anything to do with you go ahead or maybe concentrate on your own lives and family like I am. All i can say is all the best to ya’s. Peace.
good weekend started friday at the carlton with promethium and a mix band of steve promethiums old singer – max and dave ex dime store and ben from the ashes. quality turn out – great acts – promethium played well.
Saturday did a party for joe and cass up at grahams house with dan – plenty of beer and cocktails and even fish and chips in a cone!!! wicked night another great turn out!!
Finished up the weekend with a promethium band meeting which was very productive
need to get some serious rehearsing in this week on the basses – its all good
On the other hand ive had news natural thing the band i created 15 years ago is no longer going to be playing – its been a long old gig and had some happy times. We have said this before and got back together but im afraid there is no going back ive so many projects I want to put my time into this year I just cant see the point as i need to move on to higher goals – although i wish all the lads all the best.
Need to get my head down over the next few weeks to buy the new bass – this will give me a new lease of life on the old 5 string department. When i get the studio work out of the way over the next few months im getting the trace elliot in for a repair and im going to bring the trace elliot 18×10 cab in bi-amp mode to blend with the new 5 string so i get that big fat bottom end which i desire……
UPDATE DUE TO THE PUBLICITY OF THE GROUP THEY HAVE BEEN PAID – ABOUT TIME
Our friend Dan and his colleague Angela have been waiting for over 3 months to get their wages. Now is your chance to help Dan and Angela – Join our Group!
We’ve decided to give Dan and Angela’s former employer one last chance to set things right. If they pay their outstanding salaries (plus interest) by Midnight on 14 January 2010 this goes no further.
If, however, they do not pay we will be announcing a large protest outside the offices of this company in central Lancaster until the owners do the right thing.
Everyone will be invited, including the local media. This will be the focus of a town’s refusal to be exploited by unscrupulous business.
As a business you can’t trade without clients, suppliers, customers or future employees. So if we can raise awareness of which businesses – which individuals – are treating their employees badly, we can effectively shut them down by encouraging everyone to stop trading with them, to boycott them. This is what this group is about. Using technology to take the power back.
please join today this is a outrage
Well im just chilling waiting till 7 to get ready for tonights new year gig at the moorlands hotel with revival then im going to hit rock night at cuba!!

All the best

Well its been a while …
Ive been doing quite a lot of personal blogging in the new journal software I got called macjournal
I found most of the stuff I write about is people i know and them being assssholes! and I didnt really want to make it public!! ha ha… Im going to try and spilt my journals up so I at least get some interesting posts up daily. Ive also split my personal blog with the linux meeting minutes and added the linux minutes to the lancaster linux user group website. Its been hectic over xmas with gigs It all started last week i did my first gig on my own as jimmy usually does it with me as a duo which was pretty darn good I have to admit i liked to hear my guitar but having that second person does bring it along! then the night after i did a gig in carnforth with a old mate and had a great night! I then did the bobstock on the monday with natural thing for macmillan charity best day ive had in ages it was quite nice to see some other bands and realise we aint that good nowadays! but im thinking 15 years is enough time for the band now…..
The night went out with a bang with local band from the ashses – some damn good shit. Shamone.
The next gig was with jimmy at the bowerham which was a stormer apart from i noticed the lights werent switched on half way through the first set so i switched them on only to trip the power :-O
then some drunken prat decided he would try and pickup the guitars and after being told over the mic he proceeded to try and get back on the stage and then stood on the table! knob. He decided to growl at me which was funny as he would have been growling through his wired up jaw if he carried on as the strat was ready to connect to his head. nice 
Anyhow the next and last gig was at the yorkshire house with promethium we was supporting d.a.m.
We got to the gig for five but couldnt get into the six to get the gear in so i decided to drink 2 / 3 hoegarden lagers which was fun then proceeded down to ali babas for a cheese burger with noooo mayo (thats another story..) got back and sound checked – sounded shit hot!
Got back home got changed and got the video camera as we was getting this gig on multiple video cameras! went on about 9.15 to about 40 punters and went down amazing!! I was slightly put of the gig for reasons i dont want to get into but it was still 100%
It was a shame for d.a.m – as the punters that came to watch were our following and dispearced when we finished so i stayed and give the lads some support!!
We dropped craig of who was being a pissed pain in the asss and promethium went back to dans to watch the video and drink some wine!! I rolled in around 4 – I cant wait till the next time we play – im going to watch rossi isnt in sweat wiping range haha!
The next gig is new years eve at the moorlands should be a stormer!!!
xmas …
Has been a chill plenty of films and books plus my dad has been round a lot. Fiona got me a burl watch box which im loading with new watches and also got me a pool table which me and dan have made plenty of use of!!
Sad loss to the year was a good friend great friend and drummer for years – R.I.P
Been talking to richard stallman for the past couple of weeks which has been pretty interesting he is the creator and maintainer of the GNU – kind of nice being in touch and talking to someone who has so much status in the open source community – I have a lot of respect for him and some of the things he stands for.
As for work and computers im starting to look more at getting websites and SEO in the new year and im going to run a local campaign to get some more web based work. Computers are a nightmare no ill refrain that computers are great its just the users who get there hands on them – they are basicaly undereducated idiots and are being issued with a tool that is far to powerful for them… and most of them when they break it wreckon they never did anything and its the person that sold them its fault its just a big joke!!
Anyway i wish you all a happy new year!!!
This year im starting new all grudges dropped a nice to fresh start
So anyone who has pissed me off is now officially of the hook
Adios
I recently reported fay birchall from morecambe for setting her son up with a underage account. Although I have had trouble with her and her strange family in the past this had nothing to do with reporting her for setting up her sons underage facebook account. The reason is I think the age restriction should be applied is because facebook is definatly directed at adults, for one it has adult content which includes words and pictures of adult content. So why would any adult in the right state of mind add there underage children? To use them to look at other peoples profiles they my not get access to? there is all sorts of reasons – I dont care i see any children under age adding themselves I will report them and I hope you do. They should be out climbing tree’s! or if worse comes to worse put them on bloody bebo
this is fays account here
she works at netto in morecambe when i reported her son and got his account removed she waited for me at a client visit when i was fixing a computer. she stood outside and said why did you get my sons account shut down – i told her he was underge – she said i was a fukin cunt and carried on shouting abuse at me in front of her son? – i closed the door and she stood outside the house calling me a wanker and other nasty words trying to get me to bite! – I opened the door and asked to shut up and go home – she said she was going to get her farther (who isnt well by the way) to twat me! as if ! anyway who is in the wrong here? lol would you want to get served by this stupid girl? well dont shop in morecambe netto because she will serve you!!!
All i can say its a good job she aint a lad – thats why she pushes it.
So be an adult dont add your kids to facebook and dont spit your dummy out when i report you – you are the one who is meant to be responsible – follow the rules.
