Ok, I was looking at what I had said in the past, and noticed I'd talked about my graphics card. Oh the wows I have had.

My pc was really unstable, it got to the point that even a little bit of stress and it crashed, so I eventualy gave up with adding fans, and trying to solve the problem, but by that point the problem was no longer limmited to games, so I was starting to think it wasn't the graphics card after all.

So, I bit the bullet as they say and splashed out some doe to solve the problem. One new mother board, a very lush evga NF680i SLI, and water cooling kit, now the water cooling might be 90% for its geek value, but it sure as hell works when it comes to keeping my processor cool, and its a lot quiter then some massive fan (the alternative). I also got my self a nice anteck p182 case. I'll add a picture of it all in a moment, cause it looks cool.

Any way, once I fitted every and reinstalled the OS its all up, and its rocking. Its been good for a couple of months.

The odd thing, is that I recently installed the gainward software, and given it was a hot day, but after a couple of good races in NFS carbon I started being switched out by the software telling me my gpu had hit 111 degrees C.

It dosn't crash though, I wait for it to cool down and alt tab back to the game and keep on racing. So I think the graphics card does tend to over heat, but weather because I now have fantastic motherboard cooling, or because the old mother board was faulty, it no longer crashes, so its not all bad.

I'll have to fiddle with it, maybe get a gpu water block, and see if that helps. Might be worth it, part of me wants a gpu block and a second radiator mounted under the top case fan. That would be the nuts, cpu, radiator, gpu radiator back to the resoviour. Sorted. Not to mention exstreamly geeky :-)

Oh, and I nearly forgot to add the picture :-)

Ok, so its really been a very very long time since I posted any thing, partly thats because I moved servers, upgraded php and for some strange reason every thing went tits up, was a while ago, but thinking about it I think I went from php4 to php 5.

Any way, long story short I killed the site, then I worked for sony, lets not talk about that though. 7 Exit points in one procedure is a bad idea and I don't care who says other wise, I will quite before I write shit. But, as me and sony don't see eye to eye on that I got a differant, and better job for Livenation.co.uk. It can be a touch frustraiting, and I fix a lot more bugs then I write, but its a job and the people are cool. I can't complain, well, not where any one can see it :-P

Thing is, after all this time I fixed the site, I still need to deal with the bots that spam the shit out of it from time to time, but it works once more, and now? I can't think of a lot to say. I could whitter on about what I've been doing, Livenation.co.uk, livenation.nl, and livenation.it, be and all kinds of others, but I wont. I'll come back later, when I have a few spare moments and tell the world about some of the books I've read in the last couple of months. Or maybe I'll post some more code.

Speaking of wich, I'm going to rewrite the whole site soon, I have a much better framework now. I call it Lizra, its a joke.... but its very cool, totaly xml driven to the point that Ive completely done away with any concept of a page form the php code, its just params to load xml page descriptions, that load templates, add moduals and generaly do every thing. Even the webservices are just a differant xml file calling the same modual object. I like it, seems to work really well though I still have much to do before its finnish.

Well, what have I done? I've fixed the tag cloud. If any thing its actualy simpler code now, but it works correctly.

Before it used to spread the tags equaly, now that might be fine for some people, but as it seems 90% of my tags only have one entry, it really didn't work right. You'd end up with one tag being tiny, and another one large, just because it was later in the alphabet.

I also had the class sizes upside down, now that was just stupid of me but untill I had lots of data, and it generated correctly I couldn't tell.

So now the size is bigger for the more common tags, and all the tags with 1 post as the same size. It actualy looks better now.

I guess the real differance is rather then spreading the tags equaly through the groups, it now spreads the occurances. Right at the moment I am not sure how to explain it, but I'll post the code here, just because I am feeling in that kind of mood. I could explain it, but I've had a head ache all day and I don't much feel like thinking to hard, and translating code to english isn't really my thing.

  function GenerateTagCloud($account_id="", $tagLimit=300) {
    $Result = False ;

    $NumberOfTags = $this->UniqueTagCount() ;
    $TagsInSet = Ceil($NumberOfTags / 7) ;

    // returns an array of id/value pairs "id" and "tag"
    $Result = false;

    if ($account_id != "") {
      $ExtraTable = ", entries e, users u " ;
      $ExtraWhere = " et.entry_id = e.entry_id and e.user_id = 
u.userid and u.account_id = $account_id and " ;
    }

    $GetTagsSQL = "SELECT t.tag_id, t.tag, COUNT(et.entry_id) AS Occurance FROM ".
     _TAGS_TABLE_NAME." t, entry_tags et $ExtraTable WHERE $ExtraWhere et.tag_id = t.tag_id 
GROUP BY t.tag_id ORDER BY Occurance " ;

    if ($tagLimit > 0) {
      $GetTagsSQL .= " LIMIT $tagLimit " ;
    }

    $GetTagsQuery = PerformQuery($GetTagsSQL) ;

    If ($GetTagsQuery) {
      $ResultArray = Array() ;

      while ($row = FetchRow($GetTagsQuery)) {
        $occurance = $row['Occurance'] ;

        $Tag = $row['tag'] ;
        $TempArray['tag'] = $Tag ;
        $TempArray['count'] = $occurance ;

        $ResultArray[$occurance][count($ResultArray[$occurance])] = $TempArray ;
      }
    }

    if (count($ResultArray) > 0) {
      $occurancesPerset = Ceil(count($ResultArray) / 7) ;
      $tagGroupCount = 0 ;

      $tagSetId = 1 ;
      $resultTagsArray = Array() ;

      foreach ($ResultArray AS $tagSet) {
        foreach ($tagSet as $tag) {
          $tagName = $tag['tag'] ;
          $resultTagsArray[$tagName] = $tag ;
          $resultTagsArray[$tagName]['classsize'] = $tagSetId ;
        }

        $tagGroupCount = $tagGroupCount + 1 ;

        if ($tagGroupCount == $occurancesPerset) {
          $tagGroupCount = 0 ;
          $tagSetId = $tagSetId + 1 ;
        }
      }
    }

    sort($resultTagsArray) ;
    return $resultTagsArray ;
  }

Well, things have been bussy around here, and I've posted even less then I normaly do. But this is really starting to piss me off. Every weekend, my net connection magicly becomes unstable.

During the week, its fine. If a little slow but it at least stays connected. Friday night comes along and I'm lucky if it stays up for an hour.

Freedom2surf have to be one of the worst ISPs I've used. Not only did I have an unlimited account they one day desided to cap, they have speed caps on some ports, and some addresses. I know, I've got others to test and while they get 800K, I get 250. I have an 8 meg line, my flat is with in an maybe half a mile from the exchange and when I first got 8 meg it did do 800k.... but its getting slow and slower, if I have source, then I can get back up to speed but with in a couple of weeks. Its gone down.

Talking of going down, in the time its taken to type this, my connection has dropped again. Suddenly I have no internet connection at all, and I am not even doing any thing with it.

If any one is thinking of using f2s, I really really suggest you don't. They are just pipex under another name and I wouldn't touch them with some one elses. I left pipex for being rather shit, but had I know they owned freedom 2 surf then I would have gone some where else.

I'm can deal with the speed caps, but I can't cope with the line being dropped. Its not my line, thats perfect. I live near the exchange for a reason.... I'd love to play Fear right now, but whats the point? before I get warmed up I get disconnected.....

Well, as I am sure every one know there have been some new developments in browsers in the last week or so, with the launch of IE7 and Firefox 2.

I've seen people commenting on how they both have nice new features, but no one seems to have noticed that both look almost like Opera. Every one seems to have forgotten about Opera for the moment.

But, I wont go on about that for long, other then to say that Opera has had the closer on the tab for a while now, and with IE now supporting tabs, and firefox moving the closer from the end to actualy being on the tab. They all look fairly much the same.

On the BBC, some one wrote "With IE7 a blank tab is always available but with Firefox the new tab only appears, and takes up some screen space, when you open one up.", and I say wow, you idiot.... its not a blank tab, its a button... just like the one in firefox, only it looks like a small tab. We can tell this by floating the mouse over it and the familiar "new" icon appears...

And this guy, Mark Ward, is a "Technology correspondent". Shamefull.

So, do I really have any thing interesting to say here? No, probably not. I still like IE more then Firefox, the tabs just make IE cool, though at the same time moving that stupid closer in Firefox has improved it a lot, its suprising how the little things effect how you use some thing.

Generaly though, a browser is fairly much a browser. I think IE7 has a bit more customisation of its look and feel, hiding the menu untill you hit alt is sweet, in firefox I have to move it up out the way. The more space taken up with tool bars, the less there is, and at least to me thats import. Again, thats a feature some not so tech people don't like. I'd imagin this is because they don't realise alt generaly sends focus to the menu. Or they don't use many keyboard shortcuts like ctrl-f, in stead they think "oh, where has the edit menu gone...."

I think finally I will say what I think of "Security researchers Secunia". That is, your just trying to gain some advertising by coming up with "vunrebilities" in IE7 Quickly, sure, the first one was ture, ok....but did you tell them when it was in the RC? I bet you knew, but it looks good to be the first to fine an issue, with in days of release.

As for that second one, wow, how much of a stretch is that? If you pad the url out, IE scrolls it left. Well, shockingly I have my IE set to open new tabs, not pop ups. So I just didn't even have the problem. How can some thing thats just "padding" be a security issue. I know people are stupid, but come now.... even thats probably just taking the piss.

Well, I am sure any one that comutes in to london every day will agree with this, but our trains are over crouded, and over priced. I've been catching the same train, every day now for a little over 2 months, and simular if differant times for years.

Thing is, in the whole time I've been working in this job (the afore mentioned 2 months), I've never had a seat on the train to work, and only on the way back 2 or 3 times when its been especialy late. Normaly, I am lucky if there is room to breath.

For this wonderfull privelage, of standing in some one elses arm pit, I pay the rail companies just over 200 pounds a month. I think I am being conned. Well, actualy, I know I am. If I lived one station closer to london, just one. I could have an Oyster card, and the fair would be cheaper...to encourage people to use Oyster...well, please, I'd love to....

So any way, all that aside, my story for the day starts as always with me arriving just before my train is due. Lucky for me its never early :-) So I get on it, and I'm right at the end that happens to be first class. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't have a first class ticket, but I didn't go in to first class. I sat on the floor by the door. Really. I am going to be stuck some where, at least here I can sit down, not stand.

Not long has the train left the station when a ticket inspector comes along. Nothing to fear I watch them go in to first class, lucky no ones sitting in there today that shouldn't be. Out they come, and ask to see my ticket. No problem I think, I've got nothing to hide.

WRONG....aparently, sitting on the floor, by the door inbetween the first class sections is first class. Now if I had paid for a first class ticket, and the only place I could sit was on the floor, by the door. I'd be fairly bloody pissed off. But, like I said, I don't. What happens next is I am given a bit of papper that explains the area I am in, is first class, and if I sit there again I'll be fined. They take my name, and the number off my travel card as ID, and off they go, makeing me walk the walk of shame back from first class to standard. I stood up all the rest of the way.

I guess they are having a ticket enforcement day, at euston they where checking tickets. Dilegently. Really, I don't see what harm I was doing, but I guess its a way to make extra money. Any one they can fine right? I've sat, and even stood there with other people before, its never been an issue. I doubt they could make it stick if they had just fined me, so they give me an "official" warning, next time, I am extra cash.

This is typical, of our trains. They are over crowded, so put the price up. Like any of us poor saps are doing it for fun. You know what Mr B Rail, we don't. Its horrible. It starts our day in a really nasty way and you make us pay for it. Keep putting the price up, you know we have no choice but to pay... how else can I get to work? Drive? I don't own a car, or a licence.

Also, not only is it impractical to get in to london any other way, it would cost more. Oh, and lets not forget. The enviromental impact. We are told to take public transport, but then, the trains at least, milk us for it. Maximize that old profit, pack them in...go on, just a few more people, some can still breath.

Well, I've been having a few issues with my computer, some times its fine, but other times it just locks up and needs a hard reboot.

What the problem is I don't know but there where some old "parts" in there so I though it would be best to swop them out and see what happend.

Any way, now I have a swanky new PSU, and oh my god, a lush as all f**k hard disk. I've finally joined the SATA revolution.

Problem is, and you'll like this one. XP installs to the new drive, then when it reboots the first time all it will say is "Error loading Operating System". Fairly sure I know what that issue is, but by the time I got that far I'm a bit stuck, no OS.

So what I thought to my self was "ah, well, I wanted to check out vista" so I installed it. I wont go in to much detail, because frankly I am still checking it out and I think a fair trial is a good idea before I slag it off. What I will say is: How bloody big are the title bars now? Jesus christ....

That aside it actualy works quite well, so I engaged some testing. I have installed nothing, just the drivers for the video card. I then installed Company of Heros. I had a quick go and strangly it all seemed fine. I managed to finally complete the training with out a reboot. So, I am thinking thats a might bit odd. Maybe it was the old OS install? But no, when I try a mission, it died....took about 10 mins.

So I disconect the old hard drives, you never know they could be in some way the problem, though it seems unlikely.

When I tried again, much the same thing.

I'm starting to get a bit pissed off with it and so I leave it for a couple days. In the mean time it occures to me that maybe its a driver issue. So I uninstalled the drivers, went back to the default windows ones.

When I tried Company of Heros, it worked fine. I completed the training, and then started a single player game. It worked fine. I actualy completed the campain....and moved on to the second. After playing for about an hour (I wasn't trying to play "well") I'm starting to think I've found the problem, but then moments after completing the second mission, boom, screen goes black and the PC stops....

What the hell?

The cards not getting all that hot, and the problem is getting harder and hard to reproduce. I'm starting to get worried. The newest development I guess is a slight tendancy to blue screen, but lets face it...that could be Vista. I'll have to go back to XP, figure out how to get it to boot off the sata drive. 

But over all, every thing I do to find this problem seems to just cloud the water more. I'm confused. I don't see any common pattern any more. It could be the graphics card, but equaly it could be the ram, the processor or the motherboard.....

Its the question of the moment that one, is it really my gfx card getting hot, or is some thing else the problem? I really am not to sure right now.

But I'll get back to that, for now there is a problem. Its been going on for some time, and my efforts to solve it have had some sucess but, not tatal sucess thus far. First, when I got the machine it was a tad unstable, but your basic burn in period solved most of that, but still, it used to crash if I did any heavy 3d. I found if I clocked the gpu below its factory settings it was fine, but whats the point in that?

So, in a quest to find the solution I fitted a Slot fan, a big one. But for wat ever reason that didn't last long and with in a couple of days it gave up spinning. So I got another one, smaller, but functional. This seemed to help but it didn't solve the problem. I was still crashing out of fear, my monitor going blank etc, after about half an hour of play.

Next I fitted the biggest fan I could find, 120mm, above the card. This, in fairness seemed to do the trick. I've been playing fear a lot, some times for hours and its fine... but then, I got some thing new.

Company of Heros looks really nice, but so far I can't play it for more then about 10 or 15 mins. What ever is coursing it, shortly after starting the training every thing dies. The screen looses signel, and as far as I can tell the PC crashes.

Now, whats interesting is I actualy logged the tempreture of the GPU, ok, ir rapidly went up from 60 to 99 degrees, but that alone shouldn't crash the PC. 99 degrees really isn't that hot, and if it was, well, why do the monitors all want to kick an alarm at 125. Thats not much good, my pc crashed 26 degrees ago.

Any way, so I have gotten to thinking about this. There are a couple of things I want to check out now. Firstly, maybe I mounted the 120mm fan around the wrong way, so its blowing in to the case, not out.. I want it to suck the hot air out. So reversing that might help. 

Second on my list of things to check out is the PSU. Maybe as the fans pull more power, and the gpu pulls more power the psu just can't handle it. I know for SLI I'd need some thing new, but I didn't think it would be a problem for a fairly standard set up. But one never knows and the PSU isn't all that new, a good couple years old. So no one had invented PCIe back then.

Failing that, I really can't think of to many other courses. Well, there is faulty components but thats not normaly time related, and it only seems to happen in games. So, if none of these easy fixes work then I am giving some serious thought to just water cooling the whole thing. CPU, GPU and Chipset.

Oh, that reminds me, on my motherboard the chip set dosn't have a fan, so another cheap fix might be to fit one to the top of its heat sink. That would be the thrid choice before the whole water cooling idea.

Time will tell, once I fix it, I will post back here. Its pissing me right off that some things wrong and I don't know what, but I will find out. 

Any one that actualy knows me will agree that I don't watch much TV, in fact odd as it maybe, and some what hard to believe I once ended up being really really paranoid of TVs, even being in the room with one turned off made me uncomfortable, never mind if it was turned on.

I got over it in the end, it was silly, but I didn't have a TV for many years and I still don't watch much. STNG rules (I'ma geek) but other then that I don't go out of my way to watch, most of the time there is some thing better to do.

That is, apart from a small number of excelent BBC programs. Life on Marse, Top gear, and at the moment Spooks.

I'm a huge spooks fan, so I have to make this quick because episode 3 of season 5 is on in a moment. But I just wanted to take a moment to tell every one to watch. Season 1 is still the best, unusal for a TV thing, normaly they get better over time. I think. But Spooks is always good, its a shame so many good charactors have died but they are replaced with fairly good ones. Its just no one can replace the people you like? Well, I don't know but Tom was just so cool, totaly bonkers, but in a really cool way :-)

Well, thats that then, I am going to watch this, it would be harsh to miss the first couple of mins sitting at my computer talking shit.....I can talk shit (and do) any time of day :-)

Ok, so I finally got home after a long day at work, and obviously the first thing I did was brake out the new Keyboard and give it a bash.

First impression, well, christ thats a huge keyboard about covers it. They main "keyboard" element is maybe a little smaller then general keyboards, but as a whole with all the Gkeys and what have you, its huge. Even bigger then the old MS Natural I had.

I do have one complaint, well two really but only one of them is the keyboard, and both possibly have the same reson. Firstly, the enter key is way to small, its just like a double width key, but not the double height like on most UK keyboard. The other issue, and this really isn't its fault is that its a US keyboard layout. Thats a little anoying because I don't have a pound sign, and a couple of the other keys are in the wrong place.

Right, thats the dull shit. Lets get down to the nitty gritty. Whats it like in games?

Well, before I installed it I found lots of people claiming to have issues with F.E.A.R going slow when you have a G15 keyboard and a G7 Mouse. At least in F.E.A.R combat this wasn't a problem. It seemed to be running just as well as it did before.

The keyboard is really nice to use, it feels good under hands and responds instantly. I need to do some more testing to find out if there is marked improvement to my skills, but it seemed to have made at least some differance last night.

As every one probably knows the G15 isn't your every day keyboard. Its got that ever so funky LCD and back light keys, so hows that working for me? AMAZING!!!!!

The LCD comes with a few basic applets, they work well but they don't do any thing amazing. You can find more at www.g15mods.com and www.g15forums.com. Both have some interesting stuff. I've tried SirReal, its handy and tells you some usfull stuff. But lets face it, system stats are no interest to any one really. The weather applet I got, not thats the nuts. I have the current weather forcast for where I live along side the date, time and the wind speed.All nicely displayed there on the top of my keyboard.

So, what about the back light? Can you read every thing in the dark? Simple answer is yes, very clearly and with out any problems. Of course because the letters on the keys are clear, there is one issue with the back light. Turn it off and you can't see any thing :-)

The G-Keys are a good idea as well. Now I have them set up to launch all the stuff I use day to day at the press of a button, best of all they have jacked in the stupid "function lock". The F Keys are just F Keys now, no stupid mode switch that always means your in the wrong "mode" for the function you wanted. Instead we have the G Keys.

Other then the default profile used in windows you can define profiles for the game or other software your using. It auto detects the game starting once its configured and changes the mode for you. Setting up couldn't be easier, you can browse to the executable or just run it and press a button on the keyboard and the software will automaticly detect the current application.

Its childs play to add keyboard macros, short cuts or one of a number of standard functions such as "web" or "email". In 5 mines I had quick keys for launching apps, as well as macros to aid comunication with in fear.

Over all I am very happy with the keyboard. I'm even willing to use it in US format, I don't offten need the £ key, and I guess I will just get used to it. I can always use £ :-) 

Well, I guess it was bound to happen here eventualy. Lucky for me I have a modual to pop on here to stop it, but I just had to delete loads, and I mean bloody hundereds of comments from the site.

I hate link spammers, if you want to promote your site, pay google you tosser. Don't post links to my site over 700 times. No one really reads this, and all it means is I come along and delete them. Its not hard, no one else comments for the most part.... so, look, all your effort wasted in:

Deleted rows: 738 (Query took 0.0579 sec)

Ye, no big deal but if you bother to come back here and read this, know that I think your a low life, the scum of the earth. Not only do I work hard to write the code for my site, I write my own "content" obviously, so this is mine. Don't go around putting your nasty rubbish on here, oh, and please please stop posting BB tags, the sites NOT phpBB at all you moron. Its totaly custom so they just don't work. Thats why your links don't come back as href.... I stripped them all :-)

Any way, as it goes you have about 5 or 6 hours to post more of that crap. Once I get home to night I'll put a fix in for it. Other sites I own have suffered this, and if I knew who it was, I'd bill them for the time thats been wasted cleaning up. Link spamming is the internet equivelent of fly postering....

For any one  interested there is a post on darknet about my solution to this issue. Check it out, there are code examples etc.

This morning, just as I was fighting my way out of the door a delivery arrived. What was in it I wonder? well, I know but alas I had to leave as soon as I signed for it. Didn't even get to open the main box.

What has arrived is 2 things, one is a new mouse for the little women, and for me? The keyboard of my dreams. I've been trying to get ahold of a g15 keyboard for some time now. The problem is that the places that have them for a resonable price never have any when I have money...well, not untill just this week.

So, now I have the ultimate gaming keyboard, and the best gaming mouse (G7). I can't waight till I get home and give it a bash. I will obviously come back and tell every one that cares to read this what I think of it, good or bad... though I am sure it will be sweet.

Interestingly, I will have to test out the womens new mouse, come back and let people know there to. Its quite a new bit of kit, the Logitech MX Revolution. She tells me it kicks some serious arse, but shes got wait for it to charge up, then give it a good testing. We will see...

Mainly though, I just want to get home and see if new and funky keyboard will actualy make any differance to the gaming expirance, or is all this "gaming" kit just a huge con? The G7 mouse definatly has some thing over older mice, the wifi, the sensativity. Its all good and the smallest move of the wrist brings my nail gun to bear...

So, lets see. Last time I posted any thing was quite some time ago. I am not so good at this "regular" posting thing, but what the hell, its not like any one actualy bothers to read this shit on a regular basis, and if you do....you know who you are.... your a sad lonly old git.

But, I digress, before I even started. 

Recently my PS2 died, it still works but it wont read a disk. I could probably fix it given some basic parts but with the PS3 (delayed) just around the corner, I can't be bothered. Not to mention that this new PC plays PC games and oh my god....lush.

Couple of things though, my 6800GS Bliss cooks, and I don't mean its the hot shit.... this baby cooks it self, and every thing around it. I've had to add a case blower just under the card so I can try and remove most of the heat. But even then I can't over clock it because if I do, half an hour in to a couple of rounds of F.E.A.R Combat and my PC is rebooting.

That brings me to the point of this post really, F.E.A.R. Combat. What a totaly cool game. Best of all its free, so ok, thats a marketing ploy. What with it coming out on the PS3, it would be a good idea to get lots of people playing it. If your a total F.E.A.R addict, and you get a PS3, what game are you going to buy first?

Still, the game is the nuts, I have not been so in to a game in years. I've been playing a fair amount of CTF, and getting in trouble from the little women for it. But soon she to will have a sweet gfx card and be playing as well.

If you havn't tried it out yet, check out http://www.joinfear.com/main

Well, its my 3rd day in the job and I was late. Why? did I over sleep? did I forget to go?

 Nope, for once in my life it really was totaly not my fault. I got up on time, I left on time. I even got to the station in plenty of time. I was sitting on the platform, 6 as normal, when an anouncemet said the train would be on platform 4.

So, I got up, and changed platforms with every one else, then another anouncement that the train would be 3 mins late. No problem, I left early enougth that I'd have time to get a coffee, and not have to rush.

The train did arrive just after that, it slowed down....people started moving around trying to work out where the doors would be when it stopped, and it nearly did. But not quite, just as every one is thinking its going to it speed up and left, never stopping.

So, what happened next? Well, and embarised and some what confused voice announced that the train had been unable to stop because of its length....what the f**k? I have no idea and it sounded like bollocks to me, but we where told we could take a train one stop in the wrong direction and catch a fast train from there. Alas though that is not a bad idea, it was over 20 mins before that train arrived. So I eventualy got to Euston at 8:54. Normaly I am there by 8:30.

So, thanks alot britsh rail, and what ever monkey you had driving that train. By the time I took the tube, I was 15 mins late for work, had not had a coffee or any thing else. Man, I was pissed off. I put quite some effort in to not being late, its important to me. Any one that knows me knows I don't find mornings easy. But that I am trying means I really want this job.

As luck would have it, my boss is cool, shes nice..... and didn't have a problem with me being a tad bit late. So its all good, I'll stay for an extra 30 mins when I was only 15 late, but I think thats a show of good faith.... seriously, working here is worth the effort.....I love my new job :-)
