For reasons that are not yet clear, my entire website vanished into the ether on Friday night. I’m a little perturbed by this. Not overly perturbed you understand, but sufficiently to wonder if perturbation is actually a word.
I’m sure it is.
Anyway, these things happen for a reason. I shall keep telling myself so in order that it doesn’t become a source of perturbation (I do hope it is a real word, I like it the more I use it). Particularly as I’ve never been one for making backups and need to shift the blame for being back at square one.
Oh, and lets not forget all that other stuff about finding myself and my plans for the future. It’s mandatory to include that in the opening post of a blog isn’t it?
One more time, perturbation.
I noticed it had gone because I’ve had more time on my hands this weekend than I had hoped for and ended up going through the favourites! That’s right, nunoncastors has made it into my favourites…albeit by accident when I was hoping there was a way to delete a website using clever combinations of keystrokes! There isn’t!
Or is there…?
Anyway, green looks good on this domain name!
I too noticed the vanishing of the site, since I also had too much time on my hands! Its not that I don’t have stuff to do, but just that I wasn’t doing it. You know how it is. Coursework starts piling up, so you obviously do something useful like reformatting and playing Black and White 2!
Anyhoo. Hello.
It’s good to know we all live such busy, fulfilling lives.
Anyway, as I’ve no other hint as to what happened to my beautiful site I’m going to blame JJ. Your keyboard fumblings will kill us all! I may grant you a reprieve as I’ve made it to your favourites folder though. It’s still a source of bewilderment that anyone reads this shite, let alone bookmarks it.
Is Black and White 2 any good by the way? I played the original and can’t say it took my fancy. I know where you’re coming from regarding work and stuff mate. I was supposed to do my washing at some point this weekend and ended up going to a beer festival then spending all of Sunday reading a book. Priorities and all that.
Its ok. Not great, but not bad either. Not played it too much yet tho. I’ve recently completed Fable: The Lost Chapters, also by LionHead Stodios, and its kind of a cross between that and Worms Forts in a way. Or mybe its just that they’re the two other games I’ve played most recently. Who knows!
I’m mildly concerned that once I actually start it, uni work is going to keep me busy 7 days a week from now till May. Got modules which are 100% coursework plus a 10,000 word dissertation to do. Upshot is that I have no exams all year, and will finish my degree roughly a month before everyone else! I theory this provides me the time to get in there looking for jobs early before the main rush; although in reality, I may drink myself into joyous oblivion. Books are good. Just read Brave New World for the first time. I liked it, and it was even useful for one of my bits of coursework!
I used to love playing Worms. It was easily one of the best games for the Amiga. I really enjoyed Fable too, don’ know what you made of it. Next purchase is likely to be the new installment of Morrowind. No one needs to go outside during the winter anyway.
I note that your cunning university plan works in theory and I wish you well with it. I suspect however, that you really aren’t going to enjoy that dissertation even if it does get you off a month early. Not that I can talk, I’ve just signed up for degree number two. You’d think I’d learn.
