Stuff

Posted on October 27th, 2008 by hamstar

Been busy lately making a new site for Telescum, one that will pull telecommunications industry stories from rss feeds into a database automatically tagging them as it goes. It’ll work on a cron so I don’t have to touch it. Because I was to busy/lazy to keep updating the current site I’d rather have one that updates itself. Should be good.

I can scratch one of the games off my to get list. Skinny kindly got hold of Pure, the quad racing game. Is pretty mean. Makes me want to get a quad even more. I’m currently trying to save up $5-6k for a Yamaha YFZ450. Should be fun. Want to get a matching covered and alarmed trailer for my van to keep it in too lol.

Unfortunately I want to buy a guitar now, but I think I’ll just wait until after I get the quad. I been jamming with Nick a bit, he’s got a guitar and I’ve got drums but we swap most of the time. He’s pretty mean on the drums. Cranks out some wicked blast beats. I’m… below average on guitar. But I’m trying. I want to downtune it to play some real brutal chords, but I don’t think it is the right kind of guitar. I borrowed it the other day when I got off nightshift and played all day at full volume, was mean.

Been helping Nick a bit with his truck as well. He bought another Hilux. Already got a Van and a V8 Hilux (the project 88), and now he got another Hilux (for free) and is going to do that up (thats what we went to get the engine for). He’s redoing the rusty panels and stuff in it. Pretty much doing a panelbeaters job, reckons it would be about $2000 work from a professional. Brochanics all the way.

Removed Hilux CabBare Hilux chassis

I think lately I’ve been a bit extreme on the attacking religion front. Each to their own and everyone is free to take up a religion of their choice (or not) as per the human rights. So, sorry if I offended anyone.

Also had to say goodbye to a friend today :( . Shit was just fucked up between us. Sad that I won’t see them again, but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Get shit done day

Posted on September 20th, 2008 by hamstar

Man today is going to be crazy. It’s 6am. I’m 1hr away from finishing a 12 hour nightshift. I got up at 3pm yesterday.

I’m going to go help out my friend with her car, then I have to go to the hardware store, buy some self-taping metal screws and some flush-mount screw caps, then to Jaycar to get a master door lock actuator to try get my central locking working, get a car alarm from Dick Smiths to install once I actually get the central working, then run the rest of my sound cables, install the rear panels/speakers, cut out the right speaker whole in my door panel as well as the tweeter holes, then install the crossovers, the front speakers and the tweeters.

And maybe go to the movies considering its a Saturday night.

The sleeplyness should go away after about 24 hours without sleep.

Back home

Posted on August 15th, 2008 by hamstar

So finally moved out of the flat.

Beau and Nick helped move most of my stuff out the days before, so that was lucky, got rid of two van loads that day. Chucked it all in Nicks dad’s warehouse.

Luckily my mum came and helped us clean or else we would have never got it finished, cos it was only me and Hollie left. Troy didn’t come back to help which sucked, and Joe didn’t help out that much, cos his sister was in hospital but oh well. Had quite a bit of rubbish to get rid of so we went on a midnight rubbish mission and got rid of it in the bins of some petrol stations.

Town bash..

Posted on June 22nd, 2008 by hamstar

So I am on a town bash at the moment, dunno why. Not that great – just the compnay I guess lol. Went out Friday night with Troy and Hollie, Hollies friend Cat (Kat?), and Becky and Shelley.

I was sober driver (cos I don’t drink anyways) so we all piled in the van and cruised into town, parked at work. Stopped at the burger place. Shelley and Becky took off for the waterfront and we headed to Oblivion.

$10 cover charge cos there was a band playing, turned out to be Troy’s workmate. Then Boric turned up, then THEY PLAYED DETHKLOK! Was mean, I was wearing my dethklok shirt (still am :) ), so high fives all round and moshed out to that haha!! Everyones looking at us like wtf is this shit.

Silly people from Real Life :P

Then Shelley and Becky turned up and there was more dancing, played some Pantera and some System and Walk With Me in Hell. Was badass… most of the other songs were pretty woosy tho.. little bit disappointed.

Then Troy, Hollie and Kat (Cat?) took off home by taxi, and me and Shelley and Becky went for a lurk to see if there was anything to steal/vandalise/break into lol. Those girls are trouble I tell you :P especially when drunk. Shelley is so funny when she’s drunk, and a bit softer too haha (pls don’t hit me). And Becky is just quirkier than normal. Laughs all round.

Hey I think I just saw lightening..!?

Anyway, then we tried to go to Mount Eden (to freeze our asses off in the cold wind) but it was shut so just came home.

Then last night I went up to Zac’s place with Skinny and Co-oped Guitar Hero 3 :) Took my guitar so was all wireless baby! Yea. Was mean.

Hey I think I just saw lightening again….
