Happy Birthday to Me... I guess...

Sat, 05 Feb 2011 03:51:00 -0800

Well, that's me 19. Although for some reason, I don't really care.

It seems that as I get older, my birthdays mean less and less to me.
19, nothing particularly special about that particular age, the next "big one" is 21, but I fail to see how.
The social structure as determined by age is a wierd thing, especially over here:

At 16, legally, you are allowed to become sexually active, you are not allowed to drive, you are not allowed to buy alcohol and you are not allowed to buy tobacco but you can marry with parental concent. (You've already been able to buy movies and games rated "15" for a year now, nothing special)
17, you can drive, big whoop... Nothing else gets "unlocked"
18, NOW you can buy drink and tobacco, you can also marry without parental concent and you can vote too. You can also buy porn and "18" rated movies and games. (You are also an adult now according to Linden Lab (Second Life))
21, you can buy alcohol in a supermarket. (I am not making this up, some shops have their own age restrictions) Socially you are also now an adult, despite legally being an adult since 16/18 (depends on the crime committed).

I am going to spend today like I do any weekend, I'm going to go to my girlfriends house, watch tv, play videogames and chat.
The only major difference is the fact that she's baked a cake, and happens to have a present for me. Apart from that, normal day.

Also, I really should use these things more often. I don't post enough, helps me get my thoughts out.

Oh well, cya

Sod it. (Posterous -> Tumblr)

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:39:24 -0800

i've abandoned switching to Tumblr as it's just too complex to migrate. the daisy chaining breaks too. It will remain updated though as Posterous autoposts to Tumblr. Tumblr is probably just going to be a pretty thing to look at. *hugs Posterous*

NOTICE: Switching from Posterous to Tumblr

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:19:45 -0800

I have been unable to find any way to post from Tumblr to Posterous, so blog.flatpackfox.co.cc will now only be used as a method of posting to blog.mileskjeller.net when Tumblrs posting system can't handle what Posterous can. I may switch back in the near future, I don't know. We shall see. My other Posterous sites on the Flatpack Fox network will remain operational though, this one just won't be updated as often. My new blog can be found at blog.mileskjeller.net See you later Posterous.

NOTICE: Switching to Tumblr (soon)

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 13:16:00 -0800

I have taken the decision to switch blogging services, namely because I want to give Tumblr a go.

The only problem that is stopping me from switching properly is the lack of Tumblr's auto-posting services. If there is any way to get Tumblr to automatically places via email I'd like to hear it.

In the mean-time blog.flatpackfox.co.cc remains open as a means of posting to Tumblr >.<

I like Posterous too much just to abandon the service so I want all my Tumblr posts to go through it.

You can access my Tumblr at blog.mileskjeller.net at any time.

Your input is appreciated :3

A Shameless Plug for Rohos Software

Thu, 25 Nov 2010 10:46:00 -0800

I've used Rohos Logon Key on my PC for a bit now and it is a really nice piece of kit.

It allows you to log in using a USB key (or Yubikey or similar is you have one) instead of the traditional username and password system. Brilliant piece of software and does what it does well.

Their Website is http://www.rohos.com/

And yes, this really is me, my account has not been compromised :3

Fox Cub Encounter

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:16:15 -0700

Just out my shower I go into my room and take a look out the window. 2 of the 4 local fox-cubs are playing around on the lawn under the vixen's (Little Fox) watchful eye.
One of them clocks a bit of grass and takes interest in it, so it starts digging at it. Now, my mum and dad like the foxes, but don't want them destroying the garden, so I rap on the window. They glance up, ignore me and return to digging. So I rap harder, this get's the vixens attention. She comes down and starts having a scratch too. So, my window is open a bit, so I say "Come on now! Stop that!" this gets their attention and they move to the top of the garden. This also gets Dad's attention so he comes through to see who I was talking to. By this time there are now 3 cubs up the back of the garden along with the vixen. They start pawing about at the plants at the back, seeing Dad get irate I knock on the glass, instead of scaring them off the 4th cub appears. I knock again, this causes the Vixen and one of the cubs to literaly -saunter- off. The other 3 remain, so I head into our conservatory, this is further out the back of the house than my window, so this time my knocks get their attention. Then the strangest thing happens. Two of the cubs bolt in opposite directions, and the third one, the smallest of all of them. Runs TOWARDS me making loud knocking noises. It plants itself on the lawn in front of me and just looks at me. So, I talk to it, and it moves a bit. Left and right trying to get CLOSER. I then open the window, and instead of it stepping back it comes to the top of the stone steps that lead up to our lawn and stands there. Must have been hardly more than 1 foot away from me. So I spoke to it some more, maybe about a minute or two, then a second cub appears at the side of the garage and the little cub (Little Fox Jr. or Little Little Fox) goes off to investigate. So I shut the window and come back into the kitchen. Dad shuts the kitchen --> conservatory door and locks it. Back in my room about 5 min later I hear the stones move. So I look out and here's LFJ standing right next to the conservatory looking up at the now closed window. I nip back into the kitchen and open the door and window, but LFJ has already given up and sauntered back off to the den.
Mum and Dad have had some experience with LFJ as well. A few days ago Mum was out sunbathing and LFJ came within 3 feet of her to drink from our small water "fountain".
That fox has no fear. Much like Little Fox when she was younger.
Little Fox once stood 2 feet away from my dad chipping away at snow and ice with a large pitch-fork. She also once stood on our neighbours wall watching the emergancy services trying to retrieve a car from the top of a wall. Flashing lights, lots of noise, LF cares not a jot.
They either have absoloutley no fear, or they are incredibly stupid.
I like to think the former.
I hope I will have more encounters with LFJ. Before my parents decide to start placing Fox deterrants all over the garden... Which I really hope it doesn't come to.

An Interesting Day

Fri, 14 May 2010 15:35:28 -0700

It's been an interesting day for me in a couple of respects.

1) On the Glasgow Central to Paisley Gilmour train this morning I had my first ever blackout. I had sprinted for the train, and when I sat down on it O2 deprivation went to my head and I passed out. Fortunately I was sat opposite a friend of mine who knew what to do, he revived me and helped me feel better. I was out for approximately 5 seconds with no permanent damage to me or my property. Only some very minor memory loss around the time of the blackout.
I'm fine now :3

2) I had my first ever exam in a proper examination hall, not as stressful as I had imagined... The fact that the paper was a small piece of chocolate cake probably helped with that.

3) Upon finishing my exam that was me officially completed my first year of university. Kinda scary how time flies. *shudders*

Just an update, I know I don't really post on here often enough. My life just isn't that interesting, wouldn't want to bore you all to death.

Fruity Suspicions

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 01:28:03 -0700

Here's a thought, now this is just me, but I think that Apple deliberately left the iPhone 4G at that table as a form of advertisement. What are the chances that someone would a) pick it up and know what it is and b) sell it to Gizmodo for them to report on it. It all makes very little sense to me.
But, if Apple knew the phone would get to Gizmodo and that Gizmodo would dismantle it and report on their findings, all at no advertisement cost to Apple.
Comment on what you think about the situation.
Bear in mind this is only a theory at this time. Don't go flaming me just because you don't agree with me.

"New" STEAM and my account status

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 09:42:00 -0700

Ok, here we go, a few weeks ago I noticed that my e-mail and STEAM accounts were acting a little wierd so I investigated. Turns out that some Ba***rd was hacking the two accounts, I quickly locked down my e-mail account (my old hondokitsune one) and contacted VALVE support to get my STEAM account locked too. They responded that day and locked my account out.

A few weeks later, I contacted them again and confirmed that my e-mail was now safe and they could reactivate my account, 48 hours later they did, so I downloaded and installed the "New" STEAM client.

First things first, the new client looks really nice, modern, sleek, and very easy to pick up. I have absolutely no complaints.

Second things second, I found out what the hacker(s) did to my account, my profile, friends list and groups were all completely wiped. Fortunately my games are still intact and my pay-pal hasn't had any funny transactions going through it. So, looks like I am in the clear.

If you want to add me on STEAM feel free to follow this link to my profile kitly.co.cc/cczmwV (It's a bitly.pro link, so don't panic!)

Help me repopulate my friends list and groups.

Thanks :3
