NOTE: This blog is mostly directed at my close friends. You know who you are.

As most of you know, I have been a overweight teenager until about 16 where my weight just dropped off me. Since then I have been up and down with sickness and I want to share what I have.

I have a mild form of Bowel Cancer.

I have told only 1 person and I don’t know if I have shared it with anyone else

What happens is my weight goes up and down like a yo-yo, and that sometimes prevents me from doing any socialising

I have become detached from my friends and I blame it on my health. I really wish I could go into town and be with my friends.

I get really disappointed when I do get sick and my weight increases. I go from a 34 to a 38 (nearly 40 sometimes) in a pair of jeans.

Friends. I would like us to get together for a drink or something before some of you’s go back to school or people that are going to college! I haven’t seen any of you’s in a very long time and I miss you all.

I have to admit. This has been the best summer that I have had in a couple of years.
Yes, I have spent most of my time here at home and in front of the computer but I am having these ideas but I need lots of time (And I don’t mean a couple of hours btw, I mean, a couple of months).

My main project was to focus on this site and Gamers and Geeks.
Gamers and Geeks has been a shipment of fail and I am trying my hardest to get members onto our forums. But it seems impossible.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong but I do wanna figure out what make sites like IGN and Gamespot SPARK.

Anyway, I have been improving my HTML and CSS skills (Thanks to Daniel ) and I have improved the design of my own site.

I am now attempting to create a page using a templete inside dreamweaver and its going good so far, trialing and testing a few things (especially in the CSS field)

Anyway, I shall do a Music Lyric Monday tomorrow and I am thinking of doing another software review this week, Just gonna have to wait and see.

I might be doing a review on the new Firefox 4 beta or Flock 3 Beta. What do you think I should do. Leave a comment below

Oh, and this post and all my future posts are now gonna be available on my tumblr at http://vampiricpadraig.tumblr.com

Sorry about the long confusing title for this post, but anyway.

I want to start of with Dreamhost,  yes, they have amazing prices for their hosting. But when they say that they are not gonna charge your credit/debit card until the first payment (which is after your 2 week trial). I looked on my 3V statement today and BAM, they took 1.26 off me. I was like “WTF??”, So I quickly emailed them and asked them to kindly give me my money back, I have yet to get a reply from them.

And on that note, I want to say that I am staying here with GoDaddy’s free service for a year longer. Yes, the ad maybe a bummer to people (but that can quickly be fixed by using AB+ on Firefox of Chrome). I payed under 7 euro once again to get myself the domain, 10GB space (30GB band) and a free email address. I can’t complain about any of that. And anyway, who looks at this blog huh? So, I don’t mind having the ad there because I am supporting GoDaddy (Now, I want something in return for advertising your site for a year GD)

I have not got my computer back yet from my dad (as he wont pay for the repairs for his own computer (typical)) and I am still on this stupid laptop.  I would love to test the new Firefox on 7, but I am stuck with using it on XP which doesn’t have the firefox button. But oh well.

I have relaunched Gamers and Geeks (how many times have I relaunched it) and now we have split the site into 2. One for the news and one for the forum. So , we don’t lose anything from the forum.

I recently soft-modded my playstation 2 (Thanks to my friend Conor) and I have been playing Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System which imo, is a lot different to the European Version of FFXII. For eg. You can now press L1 to go faster in gameplay terms, Treasure Chests only require you to move one screen away in order for them to respawn. And Items are different to the original.

I had a problem once when in the Barhiem Passage, you could buy Blizzard in there for 200Gil. In the International version, you can’t, You get it on The Dreadnought Levithan.

Anyway, good game if you had the original.

It has been a good summer so far, watching a good few anime’s now such as Lucky Star, Air, Yugiohg 5D’s and K-ON! and I am enjoying them all.

I might do a MLM this Monday but I’ll see what happens at the weekend.

Later
