A Semi-Return - 25/09/2003

It's been a while, due to me moving into my apartment near London and starting work. Being without the net at home until late October doesn't help either. Subsequently this is a mini-update from work. Things won't be much faster when I do get back but I hope to have a couple of projects finished by then. One is rather self-indulgent and might not go on the site, but I'm having a lot of fun doing it nonetheless. The other should be interesting and maybe useful to Gundam fans, I just need to finish it! Also, as I'm without net at home my Yahoo e-mail address will languish unchecked until late October. But enough of all this. Several months ago, when Newtype Asylum had just shut down and Chris was batting around the idea of hosting model reviews on MAHQ and thereby deciding to scrap the gallery section, he asked me if I'd like to add the Crossbone Gundam manga chapter 1 to my Images section. So I have. It sits alongside the other two translated mangas I have hosted, both of which were projects I assisted RGZ with. My other small addition to the site for now is the past three weeks worth of my weekly mini-reviews. With this whole employment lark, I've only really managed to watch movies, so reviews of Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse Of The Black Pearl, American Pie 3: The Wedding, Tears Of The Sun and Underworld are now online (step back through the archived weeks to see them all). More when I manage it. Written to Pantera - Walk

So, Another Sparse Week - 30/08/2003

Due to the chaos of real life only a tiny update, just to add the latest weekly mini-reviews. It's been another empty week this time, just including reviews of Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Rust, a webcomic. Yesterday I started reading the old Mobile Suit Gundam novels (Tomino's 3 part alternate telling of the original series, serving as the basis for some of the backstory added later) so expect reviews of them in the coming weeks, as well as Gundam: The Origin volume 6 and G-UNIT volume 3 (at last). Written to Queens Of The Stone Age - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret

Chaos-inspired Absence And Sadness - 29/08/2003

I see you bastards are still here. Shame on you. The rollercoaster of madness that is trying to get an apartment in the west London (well, Feltham - which is about 30 minutes outside London by train) area whilst also purchasing goods for said apartment AND organising things for commencement of Job with Fujitsu Services... all got the better of me. So hence the lack of updates, work or mutterings. Also no weekly reviews these past weeks as I've had nothing to put in them. Should be one up this weekend though. Maybe I'll also get to finish some lineart and a side project I've been working on for this site, before the hell of packing begins next week. In the meantime, entertain yourselves with the links down the left there. I just added a few more and I'm certain many of you have never ventured to some of the others. Specifically, have a look at the "cameraphone/webcam voyage around the world" that Warren Ellis did at Die Puny Humans the day before yesterday: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. During my absence I still checked my e-mail, and it was on this Sunday gone that I, and many other people on the Gundam Mailing List, learnt of the death of Sam 'exZERO' Baker over a week previous. Sam had been a GML member for longer than the two years or so I've been on there and in the past few months he has been a firm and regular contributor to MAHQ. He became an active part of the chat room as well as feeding me piles of lineart to clean up for Chris. Anything of his I worked on is already on this site, and I have the sad task of finishing off his last few SEED scans soon. He was an enthusiastic, passionate and opinionated anime, manga, film and comics fan. His presence shall be missed. Written to Incubus - Nice To Know You

Sparse Week - 03/08/2003

Only a tiny update, just to add the latest weekly mini-reviews. It's been an emptier week this time, only including reviews of Bruce Almighty and Downsize This! Random Threats From An Unarmed American. Written to Rage Against The Machine - Settle For Nothing

Return Of Origin And New Reviews - 26/07/2003

It's about time I did some more reviews that I've been meaning to. The first of these is the manga Gundam: The Origin Volume 5. I have also decided to add a page to be updated most weekends that I'll fill with weekly mini-reviews (they're only one paragraph or less each) of stuff I finish during the previous seven days. The first of these is up too, with reviews of The Hulk, Adventures In A TV Nation, Gasaraki and Planetary/Batman: Night On Earth. Written to KMFDM - Ultra

Catching Up On More Lineart Pages - 24/07/2003

Again I've been catching up on lineart that I did a while ago but hadn't put up Images pages for. This time I have Gundam Sentinel Lineart as well as Misc. Gundam Lineart for general viewing. And with that, the new host for the site is christened with its first proper update. Written to Blink 182 - Aliens Exist

The Word Moved To A New Home! - 17/07/2003

Okay then, looks like my main concern (the limit placed on the number of files) has been dealt with and the new home of The Word can go live. Operations have now moved to http://www.bad-words.com with more bandwidth, a sexier name and... stuff. I'll throw some e-mails to Fantoysia & Chris at MAHQ to change my links, as well as updating those at the AOZ Blog and Gundamwatch myself. The old site locale will continue until the end of the month as normal, but without updates. At the end of July I shall attempt to downgrade it to a free account, which means it will still be present (complete with a handy notice pointing people elsewhere) but it shall probably assault lesser browsers with pop-up adverts. This news item is the same on the old URL and the new URL, before anyone stumbles across this site and gets confused. Written to Nothing - Silence

Changes? - 12/07/2003

Plans for the website are afoot, thanks to the upgraded Bravenet. However, there are some issues preventing developments, as I cover in a rant entitled "Bravenet Dips Into Chaos". Dr. Core's website, the second place to rise from the ashes of Newtype Asylum, is slowly getting itself online. A lot of the content is incomplete or missing at the moment but it's looking like it'll be an interesting read. Written to Howard Shore - The Bridge Of Khazad Dum

Gundam Galleries Galore - 01/07/2003

I started catching up with my images backlog today and yesterday, so the Images section is bulging with new content. The Gundam SEED lineart page and the Katoki Gundam redesigns page have both been updated with a bunch of new pieces (all nice and large). I also have three new gallery pages, BEE-CRAFT Gundam redesigns, Gundam Game lineart and lineart from Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story: Space, To The End Of A Flash. There's still more to come, if Photoshop doesn't overheat first. Finally, the first of the two sites to rise from the ashes of Newtype Asylum is up - Fantoysia. Written to Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

WAPtastic - 28/06/2003

Just a short update today. I added an article on my very first experiences with WAP - accessing the Internet on my mobile phone. It's marginally more interesting to read than it sounds. Written to Offspring - Nothing From Something

Post Road Trip - 27/06/2003

I spent the last two days in a car and being interviewed and assessed for a job with Fujitsu Services. That's a lot of time I had left to idle thought so here's a rant composed of two days' Observations From The Road. The stash of randomised title images has swelled to six as I write this. I'll probably be adding more over the weekend, exciting I know. However, I don't think I'll be introducing them to all the other pages until I can afford to upgrade to this hosting to include my own CGI. Written to Lucky 7 - Be The One

Newtype Asylum To Shut Down - 23/06/2003

Whilst doing some quick browsing just a moment ago, I noticed that Newtype Asylum is shutting down in its current incarnation (check the URL for details for now). Whilst I had, through his posts in the last year to the GML, realised Dr. Core's decreased interest in Gundam fandom of late, I didn't think NA would break up. Over my few years of being a Gundam fan I've seen NA change its focus slightly, try several new things (some of which failed, some of which succeeded) and increase in size as, primarily, a reviews database for merchandise. It was my first port of call when I decided to buy my first proper Gundam model kit (the HGUC Rick Dias) and it has remained a valuable reference to me and my fellow Gundam fans. It will be missed. Here's to the spin-off sites and the parting NA staff, cheers! Written to Chemical Brothers - Where Do I Begin

Gaia Gear And Warren Ellis - 23/06/2003

Despite being rather busy at the moment, I did find a few minutes to finish up some stuff I'd been working on over the last week or two. Big thanks to Havail Maserec (hopefully I got the name right) and Neo-Era for a mass of new pictures and replacements for the Gaia Gear page. I also hammered out a joint review of From The Desk Of: Volume 1 & Volume 2 and Bad Signal: Volume 1 - three collections of columns from Warren Ellis. Random banner image at the top of this page is working now (I actually stumbled across what appears to be the same php script that Die Puny Humans uses, which was a stroke of luck). Just need to knock up more than two of them sometime (and insert it into all the other pages, urgh). Now to finish up my Advance Of Zeta work... Written to DMX - X Gonna Give It To Ya

Engage PX System! - 11/06/2003

Another quick update today, being lazy as I am. I finally got around to reviewing the second volume of the Gundam Wing G-UNIT (Last Outpost) manga. The GML links on the MS Enc. page from the other day are now up to date again. I also decided to change the page banner. I might nab Warren Ellis' idea on Die Puny Humans and try and find a php script to randomise the image. Written to Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get

MS Enc. 2003 Bounty - 09/06/2003

Just a quick addition to the site today. Scans aplenty from the front of my MS Encylopedia 2003, along with translation kindly provided by RGZ-91, all in the Images section. Written to Foo Fighters - Ain't It The Life

Bits & Bobs - 31/05/2003

I've got several galleries in my Images section to update so I began with the Gundam SEED lineart page and the Katoki Gundam redesigns. More on the way. There's also Spam And Virus E-mail: An Ongoing Rant which is literally what the title suggests. More will probably be added to that rant as time goes on. Written to Offspring - Change The World

The Comics Addiction Continues - 12/05/2003

Yes, I'm still consumed by comics at the moment. Oh well. As you'd expect then, it's another part of my Trade Paperback collection under the reviewing eye today - the hefty New X-Men: Volume 1 from Grant Morrison and a crew of artists. I wrote the review in random note form first, which appears to have produced a wandering and overly large final piece, apologies. I also wrote a comics related article, Free Online Comics And An Attack On The Underground in which I attempt to stick to talk about free comics and end up wandering off on tangents. I've also realised that I perhaps overreacted when I worried about my bandwidth ten days ago. Blame it on some poor maths on my part but all is fine in the world of bandwidth once again. Written to Offspring - Killboy Powerhead

Ahhh, Bandwidth - 02/05/2003

Thank god that month's over. Yes, the bandwidth is back and with it the site. I'm a little worried about the high-traffic (in terms of MB) from the first day so I might cut back on the number of new pages of images I host publicly. Alternatively I might take advantage of the PlanetQuake hosting and dump some there... I'd ideally like to upgrade my hosting (an extra GB of traffic a month) to be on the safe side, but I can't afford that and I don't think I've got much chance of conning my brother out of the cash! It's not really a problem yet though, just thinking conservatively. Anyway, enough rambling. No new content, just posting to say "yay site!" and to mention the bunch of extra links I've thrown into the box down the side. Have a gander if you're bored. Written to Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats

You're Not Wearing Spandex, Why Is This? - 29/04/2003

The downtime for my site has triggered a bit of a reviewing spree for me. So, I decided to delve into three of the Marvel Comics trade paperbacks I picked up way back during the 2001/2002 university year. I've gone through a bit of a comics revival recently so expect to see me delving into the rest of my TPB collection for review material, as well as the exquisite hardcover New X-Men Volume 1 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Apologies to the Gundam-orientated readers but there's still two mangas that I'll probably get to soon enough. First up then is The Punisher: Welcome Back Frank from the fantastic Preacher team of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. At the opposite end of the Marvel comics spectrum is Ultimate X-Men: Volume 2 - Return To Weapon X from Mark Millar and Andy Kubert, with Cable: The Shining Path from David Tischman and Igor Kordey somewhere in the middle. If all this mention of those angst-ridden, spandex-clad mutants gets you wondering what the convoluted X-Men world is up to now, or if you're looking forward to the X-Men 2 movie that's released now(ish), then have a glance at X-Fan. Another horrible sentence, they're becoming a habit. Written to Mark B And Blade - Back In The Day

Bastard SEED Gallery! - 26/04/2003

As I feared, the horror of the Gundam SEED gallery proved too much for my website to cope with and 2 of the 3 gig monthly bandwidth was eaten up in about 12 days. I took the gallery down but alas I was too lazy and busy to alter the redirection page over at PlanetQuake that pointed to this site as the host. I presume, in some kind of desperate lust for images, the SEED fans then raped my galleries here and consumed the final 1 gig of bandwidth at a rate of just over 100 meg a day. So as I post this news none of the few remaining visitors can actually read it! Ho hum. The moral of this tale, kids, is that mass marketed, mainstream pandering anime is bad for a website's health. The gallery is now gone for good with all the redirects everywhere pointing to its new host, http://www.oywq3.com/seed/. A big thank you to Slade for hosting it over at www.oywq3.com, the site of his own Quake 3 mod based on the One Year War period of Gundam. I'd advise checking it out if you're a fan of multiplayer games. As life can never resist kicking you when you're down (relatively speaking), Chris chose this month to add me to the links over at MAHQ. So what could have been a delightful month of fresh victims popping along to have a look at my poor little site, has instead turned into a month of fresh victims attempting to investigate and being told that I have foolishly run out of bandwidth. Ahh, the bandwidth thing is almost as terrible as that last sentence. Anyway, big thanks to Chris for the link. This downtime gives me chance to write a bunch of reviews, which you'll obviously see in the news item above this one... Written to Pearl Jam - Corduroy

Lord Of The Rings Invades - 02/04/2003

Another addition to the Images section, this time a Lord Of The Rings gallery. It's full of beautiful artwork I scanned from the book "Tolkien's World: Paintings Of Middle Earth". Written to Blur - Sweet Song

SEED Mayhem - 27/03/2003

I finally got around to shoving up the old SEED gallery that I moved off PlanetQuake. You can find all of it bar the model & official site pictures hosted here. I also updated the SEED Lineart page with some new stuff fit to make your eyes bleed. So yes, nothing overly interesting. Written to Nirvana - Something In The Way

MP3 Fun And Frolics - 19/03/2003

I came across an interesting site today as it was Slashdotted. Audioscrobbler, described on its site as something that "grows to know what music you like by monitoring what songs you play on your computer. From this information you can discover other users that share some or all of your taste in music". You download a plugin for your mp3 player (several are supported, including versions 2 & 3 of WinAMP) and that reports the ID3 tag of the track you have just played to the server. As a registered (free obviously) user it builds up a database of the music you listen to and after 500 songs can recommend other music you might like, based on what other people with similar tastes listen to. It also serves as a repository of stats on the music and listeners. These are an interesting way to spend the bored minutes of your day. The use of your net connection is incredibly minor (unnoticeable for 56kers like me). It's nothing earth shattering but it is an amusing little diversion and has an ever increasing (as more Slashdotters sign up to it) user-base that should certainly make things interesting. You can find my stats under the name Psycho_Al and my brother's under the name SnowiE, not that you're likely to be interested. In suitably nerdy fashion I have now linked the band names on this news page to the corresponding stats page on Audioscrobbler. I will continue to do this on this page and any others I update in the future. You just can't be nerdy enough as far as I'm concerned.... Written to Underworld - Born Slippy

More Gundam: The Origin Reviews - 17/03/2003

Yes, I've now finished my Gundam: The Origin manga reviews. Here is Volume 3 and Volume 4. Volume 5 won't be released for another couple of months so that wraps up my written Gundam material for the moment. I might do some of my stand-alone graphic novels (trade paperbacks) next time I get the review bug. Oh and yes the Gundam Universe Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Picture Archive is still on its way over here, in case the poor buggers being directed to this site are wondering. Written to Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)

Gundam: The Origin Reviews - 14/03/2003

Finally I've got around to reviewing my Gundam: The Origin manga volumes. I have reviews of Volume 1 and Volume 2 and I should have the other two volumes done in the next two days or so. After this I shall only have left my single, horrible, Gundam Wing manga adaptation to review (in terms of written Gundam) until I pick up a copy of G-UNIT Volume 2. Written to Deftones - Engine No. 9

Manga Invasion And SEED Incoming- 13/03/2003

I finally got around to hosting the two mangas I worked on with RGZ (hosting with his permission). Haman's Deleted Affair and the Johnny Ridden Manga are now up in Images. I have also decided to move the Gundam SEED gallery here sometime in the next two weeks. I'm going to cut out all the model photos in an effort to save bandwidth (the SEED gallery could potentially use up my bandwidth for this site in no time at all) but all the art, lineart etc will be preserved. I still won't be updating it but it will sit here in its static state. Written to Beethoven - Fur Elise

A Flood Of Bits And Bobs- 10/03/2003

Today I did one of my regular catch-up sessions with all the stuff I've been hosting on my site since the last time. I've got new pictures on the Katoki lineart page and the SEED lineart page in Images. There's also a new page of Macross Zero Lineart. As I mentioned last time, I have one new review. My Thoughts On V Gundam are now up to view. I've also updated the rest of the Reviews to include images of the subject matter where possible. Finally I've added a new box down the left side of this page for me to dump links into. There's no real rhyme or reason to the content, just sites I visit on a regular basis or free products I use (such as the excellent Phoenix). Written to Beethoven - Fur Elise

A Rant Is Heard Amongst The Silence - 07/03/2003

Yes the public parts of the site have been a little quiet recently. I have a bunch of galleries I should be putting up soon as well as a review and an update to my G Gen F Diary. However for now all I have to add is my first rant in a while (more on the way, oh yes), The Idiocy Of Lazy-Ghetto Typing: R u dwn wit dat yo. Written to Wu-Tang Clan - Gravel Pit

The Galleries Have Caught Up - 15/02/2003

I've now finished "paging up" all my hosted pictures from the past few months/weeks. There are three new galleries, Katoki Gundam Redesigns, SD Gundam: G Generation: Monoeye Gundams Lineart and Sentinel 0079 Lineart. Written to Portishead - Mysterious

More Images Go Up - 14/02/2003

I've begun to "page up" the many collections of Images I've been hosting recently. The first two pages are the latest offbeat Gundam SEED lineart and the nifty G Gundam Fighter Gundam Freedom. Written to Audioslave - Show Me How To Live

A New Section And Spriggan - 09/02/2003

Hopefully for the last time (takes me ages to update all the menus) I have added a new section to my site, Articles. It opens with three pages, the most recent of which is my irregular SD Gundam G Generation F Diary. I have also posted up two old pieces I wrote on Beam Sabers and Beam Shields, though these will be updated and replaced sometime. I also wrote a review of the action packed Spriggan anime movie. Written to NWA - Fuck The Police

Go For It, Domon Jin Roh W! - 26/01/2003

I said I'd get them scanned in and here we with the second batch of chibi Gundam character strips. Go For It, Domon W comes from the back of the horrible Gundam Wing manga volume 1. Last night I watched and reviewed the anime movie Jin Roh (The Wolf Brigade). I decided to throw in a screenshot in my anime reviews (and why not!) so the FLCL review is updated with one, wooo etc. Written to Audioslave - The Last Remaining Light

FLCL Weirdness - 25/01/2003

I recently watched possibly the most bizarre anime I shall ever see. Here's a review of that very same hyperactively odd 6 part series, FLCL. Written to Sepultura - Ambush

A Couple Of Fresh Galleries - 22/01/2003

I've had these done for a few days now but didn't upload them. Two new galleries for the Images section. First up is the final batch of poor photos from the cam I borrowed, this time it's my HGUC Rick Dias on show. The second gallery is a collection of Gaia Gear pictures I found on an imageboard. Written to Metallica - The Shortest Straw

Technical Manuals Completed And /ohnotice Update - 12/01/2003

It's been a long and sometimes hard five days but I've finished my epic reviewal of all five Gundam Technical Manuals. The disappointing G Gundam manual finishes off the set, which means Gundam: The Origin is probably next on my list. I also made an update to the /ohnotice script in the mIRC section. Written to Pantera - Fucking Hostile

CCA Manual Reviewed And Advance Of Zeta Galleries - 11/01/2003

The penultimate Gundam Technical Manual has passed through my review camp, Char's Counterattack's book comes under the hammer today. I also have a pair of Images pages added from the Gundam sidestory "Advance Of Zeta". There's one page of Mobile Suit lineart and one page of general pictures. Written to U2 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

08th And 0083 Manuals Reviewed And Lots Of Pictures - 10/01/2003

Continuing my project of reviewing all five of the Gundam Technical Manuals I have completed numbers two and three. 08th MS Team and 0083: Stardust Memory Technical Manuals get my review treatment today with Char's Counterattack and G Gundam on the way over the weekend. I have also got a couple of new pages for the Images section. There's Urube's Gundam Fighter from G Gundam and some overly detailed Hathaway's Flash lineart. Written to The Clash - Clash City Rockers (live)

New Review And Lots More Photos - 08/01/2003

I have begun the epic task of doing proper reviews for all five Gundam Technical Manuals and I have completed the first, the Gundam Wing Manual. The next three all require a lot of reading (in comparison) so no idea when I'll do those. I also added photos of the fighter craft for the Perfect Gundam and the core fighter for the God Gundam on their respective SD photos pages. I also snapped shots of my final SD, the Perfect Zeong. Written to Foo Fighters - Ain't It The Life

Gundam Wing: G-UNIT Manga Review - 08/01/2003

The first Gundam related review for a while is G-UNIT (renamed "Last Outpost") Volume 1, a Gundam Wing manga I picked up in London before Christmas. I have the five Gundam technical manuals and three volumes of Gundam: The Origin to review sometime... Written to Nirvana - Something In The Way (live)

SD Gundam Invasion - 05/01/2003

I finally got hold of a working webcam so I can show my meagre model kit collection off to the world. The first two galleries of photos are the SD Perfect Gundam and the SD God Gundam, both new G Gen Neo kits. More on the way as I get around to them. Written to Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged

And It Was The Time Of The Preacher: New Review & Rant - 15/12/2002

One of the best comic series of the 90s, a review of Preacher has been added to the Reviews section. I've also got another rant to add as we get closer to the Yuletide celebrations, this time It's All The Fault Of Al Quida. Written to Orbital - Halcyon (live)

Incoming Chibi Comics - 13/12/2002

I've decided to host up all (well the two sets I have access to) the little chibi Gundam character strips from the back of the Wing era mangas. In the Images section you'll now find Go For It, Domon! Gundam Party which is from the back of the first volume of the translated G-Unit. I'll be doing all the strips from the first volume of the Gundam Wing manga adaptation over the Christmas period. Written to Wheatus - A Little Respect

A New Rant And A New Images Page - 12/12/2002

The second page in the Images section is now up. It's the original cleaned up scans for all the Gundam: The Origin lineart I recently did for MAHQ. I've also got a fresh rant (already), this time on the topic of The Need To Believe In Something. Finally I have decided to waste more of my ever decreasing money supply and upgrade my hosting here to the cheapest paid option. This means I now have 3 gigs of monthly transfer, remote linking for files, the ability to actually host other filetypes like Zips and most important of all - no banner ads or pop-ups! Written to D12 - These Drugs

Lo And Behold It's An Images Section! Also A New Rant... - 12/12/2002

Today I open up a fresh section on the site - the Images pages. I'll give you half a guess as to what might be contained within. It's purpose is really only to display random image selections I need to host somewhere. Still, the first page in there is up - a selection of scans from issue of 0 of the Robotech comic being published by Wildstorm in the USA. In the ever friendly Rants section you will find a new piece from me on the subject of Trendy Jaded People Who Don't Like Anything. Expect more new rants over the coming days and probably more random pages of Images. Written to Foo Fighters - Disenchanted Lullaby

Re-Uploaded Scripts and New Review - 09/12/2002

Due to the wonderment of Internet Explorer I've had to re-upload my scripts in ZIP form to the mIRC Scripting section. I had reports that Internet Explorer was deciding that people shouldn't get mIRC scripts, they should instead get corrupted messes. All hail Microsoft. I've also uploaded my latest review, the SD Zeong model kit. On a final note the latest version of the excellent Phoenix browser, 0.5, is now available. Obviously anyone visiting this site is already using it as they don't want these adverts trying to download Gator on them, right? Written to KoRn - Beg For Me

Command Script for /ohnotice - 26/11/2002

Uploaded the second script to the mIRC Scripting section. It's an Ops & Half-ops Noticing command written at the request of the MAHQ channel ops not using Peace And Protection. Also fixed numerous stupid errors with the pages. Written to Suicidal Tendencies - I'll Hate You Better

Old Reviews Are Up- 25/11/2002

The Reviews section is now full of my old Gundam related reviews. There are a bunch of MSiAs (action figure) covered, as well as one book and one translated Manga. Next thing up will probably be a new mIRC script. Written to Metallica - Nothing Else Matters (live)

The First Rant- 25/11/2002

I've started writing content now and my first piece in the Rants section is up. Have a look at Bravenet Web Hosting: How to fuck over your PCs. There will be more up as the night progresses. The Reviews section is currently down but my Gundam related stuff should be in there later. Written to KoRn - Dirty

Site Up - 25/11/2002

Welcome to my multipurpose website. This isn't anything special, just a dumping ground for things I want online (all my mIRC scripting primarily) and a place to rant. Yes the design is really simplistic, even by my usual simplistic design preferences. There are two reasons for this - firstly the site will be slow enough with the advert crap as it is without throwing dozens of small images at you - secondly I don't see there's any reason for this to be any prettier. On the subject of the adverts, yes they're large and space consuming. If you're getting pop-up ads then I suggest not using the shit-heaps that are Netscape and Internet Explorer. Get Phoenix (possibly undergoing a name change) and enter the wonderful world of a good browser. Oh and I go under the nickname "Psycho Al" for most online undertakings but I'm dispensing with that for this site. Written to Dilated Peoples - Worst Comes To Worst
