New house, lack of Internet, and no damn comments!

Hey everyone... Or should I say no one! I haven't got any comments to the last 3 posts, is anyone even reading this crap anymore? :P I guess my two main (read 'only') readers, Sara and Carmen, are pretty busy going to university at the moment so I'll just fill in any random passers by on what's going on in my life... There should be some random passers by sometime I have put the link to this damn site all over the Internet. :P

Ok sooo.... Yep I've moved into the house my friends and I are renting for university this year! It's pretty nice, overall it's really nice but then it has a lot of little problems like the floors being uneven and such, it's kinda old... But whatever it's pretty cheap and not too far out from South Kensington (where uni is.) Still no Internet connection there though (I'm at the labs now) which sucks so badly, we're having trouble deciding what ISP to go with and stuff, it's complicated and annoying... I need my Internet! :(

Anyway last Wednesday I met up with Crystal in Kingston which was awesome! We hung out at Starbucks where my current love of chocolate covered coffee beans has made me less disgusted by coffee, and we chatted about Final Fantasy VII Advent Children and Naruto, and then we went and saw The Island which was pretty cool although rather heavily Microsoft sponsered (MSN Search and XBox VR Fighting etc...) but it was a good film really, basically Logan's Run for this generation and Logan's Run rocked so :) So yeah seeing Crystal was really great, hope we can meet up again soon although it's doubtful cos she's off to university this weekend. Massive shout out to her at uni if she's reading this there, miss you but hope you're having loads of fun! :D

Ummm what else has been going on... Well I'm getting better at Dance Dance Revolution (well, Stepmania), I've been getting B's on 4 feet difficulty on Light and even managed to complete Sakura (桜) by RevenG on Light with a C and that's a pretty difficult 5 feet one. Unfortunately I tried Butterfly by smile.dk on Standard (which is also apparently a 4 feet one) and I failed miserably... Oh well I'll get there in the end I guess.

Not much else to say... I'll get a net connection at the house soon and then I'll blog more often and upload some photos too :) Leave comments as always, wanna know people are reading! :P

Slackwise.Net Is Back!

Typical, the very day I move the site back to a blogspot account Slackwise.Net comes back... Meh I can't complain I'm too happy!

Methinks around January 2006 Kaoru.Slackwise.Net 4.0 will be released, I'm coding everything from scratch and hopefully making the site feel differently and be more useful to people... I just haven't decided how yet ^^;

Bye!~

Blogspot, Google Talk, and more deviantART...

Hey again,

Sorry it's been so long, slackwise.net has been down for ages and I've finally said 'screw it' and moved my blog over to a blogspot address (instead of using blogger to upload it to ksn/kblog/)... So here it is. The colours and such are a little off because my own custom colours and images were hosted on slackwise.net with everything else *sigh* Hopefully slackwise.net will be back up again soon!

Well last time I blogged I was dissing Google Talk but that's kinda reversed now, all because of Google Desktop Search 2, which I love. The docked side bar autohides quite nicely and integrates Google Desktop Search, Google Talk, and any other fun plugins you can think of with more coming out all the time. My only real problems with it are that the gmail support isn't as perfect as it should be, and that GDS still doesn't support Opera.

And yeah, more deviantART, I've been adding deviations on my page and making some friends, it's really good fun even for someone with no artistic talent such as me :) So yeah, sign up, go check out my stuff and some of the great stuff on there, leave some comments :)

Anyway most of my time this week has been taken up getting ready for university again! I'm packing today (ok, so actually I'm writing in my blog ;P), and my dad's driving me up tomorrow lunch time! Eeeeeeeee I can't wait to be back, especially since I'll have the house to myself for a week to just chill out and see some of my friends around London, it's gonna be sweet :) Unfortunately I won't be online for a bit, gotta set up broadband there and get everyone sorted on our new sparkly wireless network and stuff, hopefully I'll be on by October! If you wanna get in touch drop me an email or txt me, or of course leave a comment on this blog and I'll check it from the computer labs every so often :)

Byeee~

PS. I found my digital camera but it's kinda crapped out on me so I'm 'borrowing' my mum's canon (the one I took to America) until at least Christmas, woot :D
