Horoscopes

My horoscope today told me that I should bet a small amount on a horse with a jockey wearing lilac and that I like to receive long distance messages.
Firstly, every horoscope suggested either buying a lottery ticket or betting on horses, who sponsors mystic meg? Ladbrokes?
Anyways, who wouldn’t like any message from someone? Let alone a long distance one… Unless it’s a really long distance message… From an Asian call center… I don’t think I’d appreciate that as much.

Much love for Apple

Ok, so their computers are based on free code and sell for outrageous amounts of money, wrapped in horrid white plastic, no games support (big deal to me…), their user interface is hideous (apart from when the icons bounce around… that amuses me), they force users to use their software to get their IPods to even turn on (and this really had me shouting WTF at my IPod) and their RAM garbage collection in their OS never seems to work. Their IPods may have sucked and offered absolutely no advantages over the normal, cheaper, easier, DRM-free mp3 players available… but damn, I love my IPod touch… You think I was excited when I heard about a Dexter game coming to the IPod? I shall never doubt my decision to buy an IPod touch ever again:

External login using the WordPress 2.7 login system

– Note, this is updated to work with WordPress 2.7 –

I needed a way of letting users in a Wordpress blog be able to login to a different website on the same domain (for example, if you want to host a web portal of some kind that shares the user system of your hosted wordpress blog, making it easier for your users to only need one account on your site). Googled the idea and found nothing, so worked it out for myself.

These are the steps for WordPress 2.7. There is only one difference, and that is in editing the login.php file to work with logging out.

First, your site needs to include the wp-config.php file.

include_once($_SERVER['document_root'].”/blog/wp-config.php”);

Then, edit your config file to contain the following extra lines (note, users will have to log in again after doing this): (more…)

Not a blogger

I am not a blogger.
I never will and never have been.
I am ok with that.
There are more important things:
consider them one piece at a time.

Stability

Everything right now is a combination of the worse things that’s ever happened to me.
I have an insane amount of work with a seemingly long deadline, but is actually rather imminent.
My wound on my leg that I’ve had since Feburary had a swab result confirming mrsa is present again. I have multiple doctors appointments planned with the possibility of needing to see a microbiologist and a dermatologist.
My girlfriend has left me and it happened all over the Internet. She wouldn’t tell me the reasons properly and I have a lack of motivation and company.
I write this from my bed on my iPod as I can’t be bothered to go to my lectures.
The only chance of me publishing this will be if I drink too much wine later… Unfortunately, drinking on my own.

And there it is, I’ve had the vast vast majority of a bottle this evening… feel worse than ever. I’ll probably take this down tomorrow when I’m thinking clearly.

It feels like someone has taken my heart cut it up, then pulled everything out from inside me and just left a shell” - someone wrote this once

Prawns

Why can’t I find the nice mayonnaise they use in prawn cocktails?…

These are the things I ponder when I have a report in later today… and it’s currently 3 in the morning…

and don’t you just hate rhetorical questions?

Dexter: I hate that I love it so

A cute toy of a mass murderer

A cute toy of a mass murderer

Dexter is the best TV I’ve ever watched.

After the first episode I had to go and do something else whilst I reflected on what I had just witnessed. It took me a number of hours to discuss the issue with myself and I persuaded myself that the show was watchable. However, it’s more than just watchable. I continued to watch the first season in the space of three days.

How did they get away with making a TV show about someone who saws people into small pieces and dumps them in the sea?… and how did they get away with making me feel attached to him and keep me praying that he’s never caught… and most importantly, how did they manage to make a bobble head toy of a mass murderer? I want a bobble-head Dexter!

Anyway… Dexter just made me buy an Ipod Touch… as apparently, next year they’re making Dexter episodic games for it… But my real conclusion is: Dammit America, why do you make such good TV? (P.S, your comedies are awful… just awful) …but you’re ruining my degree…

If you maybe quite like some things, go watch Dexter now… I am Jamie and I approve of this message.
