Turkish Weddings: Cool or What?

And one helluva wedding it was. It was like a VERY big thing with quite a lot of the guests [some uninvited of course].... there wasnt any problems with the adults though... just the occasional coupla gay guys trying to make out in the mens' changing rooms or tryin to smoke a joint.

Problem was with the kids trying to get into the pool room when there werent any life guards around [cos it was closed]. I even got a coupla 17yr old girls hitting on me. :] Yeah me with the "burly arms and big chest"... they found my security radio and me standing at the door a turn on of some sort. Asked if i wanted to take 'em out... kindda tempting. especially for a seurity guard. Well... that's only a problem if you look at it NOT from my point of view.

Oh... did I mention the bride was way tooo cute? I dunno for how long though after the guy's dun with him after the honeymoon.

I had to wait till the cleaners were dun cleaning up the mess.... around 1am.... [cuda been out partying, but it paid well for a saturday job]

Got Something Online You Wanna Hide Forever? You Cant

For example when I was creating this site. I was testing it every now and then and getting frustrating errrors. When I finally got blogger to work for me I removed those posts*. I even had this fancy splash page* that sucked goat. it's all there for you to see in the way back machine.

*I anticipated someone using a search engine to snoop up on me and finding the site so i wrote some script to detect where you came from or check for a cookie on ur machine and if you neither came from the specified page nor have the cookie it sent you to an Error Page. What that meant is that when you use the wayback machine, u're gonna get an error as soon as the page finishes loading. U can beat this by quickly clicking [stop] on ur browser once it's done loading the local script and begins loading the external scripts for monitoring hitcounts. If you dunno what I'm talking abt then the "WayBack Machine" wudnt be any fun to you either.

Now i'm gonna go snoop on other people's pages. See what they were up to before the sites were opened for public viewing.

Addendum:Got Something You Wanna...

Feels's So Good....

You wouldnt know it [and she probably doenst know it either]... my creating this site was a DIRECT consequence of seeing her old site. I hadnt seen a personal site that was frequently updated before. I was trying to see her source code .... it was like a new world for me. Actually she found me out [abt viewing her source and "stealing" an image] and threatened me; "Y'know, I have a lawyer for a dad alright?".

I'da linked to a version of my old site, which had been shamefully tucked away somewhere until the hacker got rid of everything. It feels good to know I've come such a long way since January 2001.

Old Site On WayBack Machine?

Getting Busy With Version 3 Already

It'll all be in PHP with includes all over the place. I've finally thought of a way to cut down on code editing time so I'll use includes tucked away forever. It still uses CSS which is optimised for Internet Xplorer 5.5+. IE5.0 can still view it alright but they wont ecactly have the full on XPerience. I'll be sending Netscape users away cos I cant really be bothered about tweaking and tweaking code till it works for people who decide to use something so stuck-in-the-past.

CISCO Starts... Having To Miss Stargate

Anyways... it's a two sessions a week course running from 4:40pm till 7:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What this means is I'm gonna be missing Stargate SG-1 on those days for the next 12weeks or so.

Sometimes you have to make concessions.... so there you go. I really need to buy that scart cable and record the show then maybe i cud watch it later... but then again... let's procrastinate some more.

Might Be A Good Time To Start Smoking

Nah dont worry aba me.. i'm too sane to start smoking 'cos of some cold weather. I'll find other ways... some real pleasureable other ways

Things That Get On My Tits!!

Yeah u guessed, I'm pissed. Especially when that person was originally from Africa until about six years ago. There's this guy in my IT class (Ghanaian). he finds it hard to believe I've been here less than two years. Says, "But you dont have the Ghanaian accent"... damn right I dont... neither do I have ur stupid cockney accent. Nor do I listen to your rubbish Garage music.

Why is everyone who comes from Africa expected to have no sense of humor whatsoever, be the the-world-is-coming-to-an-end-so-take-jesus-christ-as-ur-lord-and-saviour freak??!! What annoys me most is when the person is another Ghanaian who thinks that being here for 6years makes 'em non-Ghanaian, when their living in a cramped 1-bedroom council flat withtheir whole family [which by the way, I do].

See... I know i'm the stuck-in-the-past type. Always wanting to draw attention to my being African [not the let's-all-go-back-to-Africa type]... I would never want to fit in by talking "posh" cos that sucks.

After those that have been here a few yrs comes those that have been here too long to know that things have changed back at home. Those that refer to Ghanaians as "you Ghanaians". And have to put that in every other sentence or so[my mum's guilty here]. Putting themselves out of the equation. Yeah fine you've been here 10years or so, but you dont have to constantly remind me that you're NOT Ghanaian. For all I know when you go to Ghana you wont survive 'cos you'll be the NOBODY you were when you left after all this time.

That's why I never put anyone down 'cos I was one of 'em NOBODIES when I was there. Yeah I knew how to live big but I never did cos it wasnt rosy. Didnt have no cars to drive around like some friends did. And I still dont. So you see things havent changed much for me. I didnt have anything but my brain back in Ghana, and that's all I still have left. None of my parents are rich enough to leave me with something big someday so whatever I get now is what I'll be left with.

I have enough problems not to put up with, "So do you have DVDs in Ghana?". Fuck you!! I bet you dont own one yourself... you just see it on telly. I didnt own one.... nor did my Dad. I just had to be teased by it in shops like u're being teased by it on telly here.

"Did you know Jay-Z before you came to London?"... Your mother!!. I probablt follow hip-hop more than you do and always will, 'cos U're a Garage person. You listen to that repetitive nonsense which is only known in the UK cos no one else is high up on drugs enough to "bounce" to that.

"Did you ever see a computer in Ghana?" Arrrrrrrrrrrgh!! Wish I could punch you and get away wit it as easily as I woul've in Ghana. Thanks for such a stupid question, but if you may know... I shared 10 computers with some 1200 of my mates in school... and that's just the lucky ones, you ignorant bastard.

And the worst is probably with those stuck-up Ghanaian girls [and women] that go like, "...That's why I'll never go out with a Ghanaian guy" after telling you the most stupid of breakup stories. I mean... are guys NOT from Ghana NOT capable of that???!!! That's so shitty. Yeah so you wont go out with Ghanaian guys... who cares? There are a million other girls [and women] out there who would gladly go out with Ghanaian guys. Take your arrogant p**sy and do .... i dunno but whatever you wanna do with it 'cos like i said, there's million out there who'll gladly share theirs with the "piss-taking Ghanaian guys"

<sighs>

Yes I did It... Sue Me

I AM The Devil... I Know I Am!

Sean, the only one of us that really does look like a security guard [he weighs over a 100kg (16st) and only 21years]... Sean said something to her. Not very sure cos before he had a chance to finish I barged in with the most noxious of things to say to a woman. I think Sean was saying "Hi Honey... Y'alright?".

Now what I said... ha! it's one of those things you regret as soon as it leaves your lips. One of those that makes you wanna turn back the time... One of those you'd like to blame on alchohol [xcept i dont drink, so hard luck there].

<sighs> one of those that could get you in trouble wherever you are in the world. You wanna know? Nah i cant tell you. Dont mail me and ask me what I said cos I probably wont tell you anyway... Dang!! Just the kindda thing the devil will say... maybe I AM the devil... it was just like one of those things we used to do when we run out of the boarding house in the evenings and went roaming [back in Accra Academy].

I know I've said worse thingsto people... but I thought being out of Accra Academy for almost 2 years had changed me and made me milder... and less prone to talk carp like that to people... especially women.

Ok I'll tell you what I said. Whiles Sean was finishing off with, "... Y'alright?" i went like... "You working tonite?". C'mon dont laugh, you twisted. Would you laugh if I'd said that to you??!! Guess not...

Well so she wasnt just about to let me go scot-free and I didnt want to be pepper sprayed as much as i deserved it. That xactly what I was afraid of if she INDEED "was working" and needed some sort of *protection* other than the conventional ones she needed for the "harzards of her job". As soon as I saw she was following me ranting... I took of [yeah.. nasty foul-mouthed coward i am] and it probably saved my ass [and eyes] lastnite.

Now I'm off to work again tonite. Working till 1am again... I just hope she's not so pissed as to go ambush me with her *pimp* [of some sort].... or with the largest can of pepper spray.

Pray for me... I'm the devil. A foul-mouthed devil.

People I'm Missing On The Site

I know u're reading Marian... and I miss your posts. I admit I've been too technical of late. How abt you make us all happy by posting something... alright? You know where yo login... Post something... anything... I just wanna see "posted by Marian Harris...". If you're too bored to write up anything.. just link to something fun you've seen on the net, that'll be cool. And hey... if you DO see Awareness.. ask her where she's been

Yipeeeeee.... Didnt Get Pepper Sprayed

Anyways... there was some drama afterall at the workplace. I told you guys i wasnt cut out for that job didnt i? well what happened las'nite was with this regular security guard returning from his holiday. He saw me drinking a coke whiles keeping watch and told me it "wasn't professional". Cool... so i wasnt professional... bite me!!

Now listen here for the fun part.... next thing i knew he was having a fistfight with a member of the public.... oooh, how professiona(!) He went after the guy... wudnt stop... c'mon did he think we (the other sucurity guards) were gonna jump in when there were abt a hundred Turkish guys?? So he got bitch-slapped... and he QUIT. He went like... "I QUIT... i love pain... Pain makes me all hyped up..." Yeah right... and I'm dating a model.

Thank god i'm not gonna be working there again till the weekend... maybe i'll need some body armour... know where i can get some of that? 'Cos it's slaps one day... next someone'll be sticking a knife thru my kidney

MailBag: Not A Devil Afterall Or A Devil In The Making?

Thank you very much for the refreshing words(!)

The Algebra Of Infinite Justice

Anyway here's some stuff that caught my eye:

NOTE: There's quite a lot to read so I suggest you copy it to notepad and lose all the formatting. Then copy it to Word and use the following formatting: Font = Verdana; Size 8; Margins= 1cm for left, right, top and bottom. This shd make it fit on 3 pages and shd be legible for anyone with eyes as good as mine. I none of these makes any sens to you. Just print it off the web... [you really dont want to]. Of course I'm assuming you'll wanna read the article.

Wrong Combination Of Words

So i just hinted on her chest having grown since the summer break. I think i said.... "You've gained weight in all the right places". I dunno... i heard it siad in some movie. I mean it's not like she's grown fat or anything like that... just that they're VERY visible. Options i had?
1. Pretend it wasnt obvious that she'd grown some chest [a big one] over the two months of the holidays and just gawk when i saw her.
2. Pretend it wasnt obvious that she'd grown some chest [a big one] over the two months of the holidays and just NOT gawk when i saw her
3. Pretend it wasnt obvious that she'd grown some chest [a big one] over the two months of the holidays and just try to look at her face when talking to her and do all I can not to look elsewhere
4. Look at her chest when talking to her and tell her, "You've gained weight in all the right places", and risk her getting pissed and not talking to me again which is quite common with her cos she gets pissed at whatever I do

I tried apologising... but imagine me trying to apologize for something when I think it wasnt wrong... not credible at all, but so does her "not talking to me" act. She's talking to me half the time... saying, "I wont talk to you anymore"

OK I GIVE UP, SLEW

I really AM BORING

Talked To Marian

Yahoo! Essentials Are Really Essential

Yahoo! Mail:

OK so who doesnt know yahoo mail u're asking. But did you try their new feature? The one that makes Yahoo! Mail your default "mail program"? Ok so we all hate it when we see those "contact us" links on the web and click it to send mail and Outlook Express tries to send the mail when you havent configured it properly? Or when you dont know how to make the darn thing work? Well this solves that problem. When you install this new feature... clicking on such a link [example anon@anon.non] will open a new webpage and go to Yahoo! Mail's compose window with the address and Subject for the mail [if set] already in place. Now just type up your mail and puch send..... u're dun. Of course if you're not logged in to Yahoo! i'll prompt you to loging and continue from there without any hassles. I've been using the stand-alone version of thise before the Essential Package was realeased. If you want this as without the whole package go here

Yahoo! Messenger:

So you think it's just one one the messaging software out there? Nope.. this is best out there. It allows you to use all of your yahoo aliases in one go. You can be talking to PersonA as myalias1234 whiles talking to PersonB as myalias2004. And when u're bored talking to PersonB, you can let myalias2004 "appear offline" to him. So he cant see you. But then you can use that alias to talk to other people.... This is not the same as the ignore/block feature in MSN Messenger cs even when you appear offline to someone you can still speak to them. When they do initiate a conversation though, it appears in your "Offline Messages"... pretty cool. The new webcam and shared files feature is fun too.... you can now put all those nude pics in your shared folders and share 'em.

Another new feature that I just saw tonite... is the the internet explorer bar feature, which makes use of the Explorer Bar Custmization feature in IE6. You can have that sidebar open and hide the "normal" Y! Messenger window and read yahoo news, search.... whatever you wann do... whiles still surfing normally. This only comes in the esseential package though.

Yahoo! Shortcuts:

This as the name suggests places shortcuts to the most used yahoo features on your desktopn and the start menu. For example it you install Y! Mail as default mail program with the package, it places a shortcut to Y! Mail in the Quick Launch Toolbar. [Now you can delete that annoying shortcut to Outlokk Express youalways accidentally click and have to wait till it loads before you can close it. Good riddance]. Another one is the Y! Update tool which checks for newer versions of installed Yahoo! files and install them as you choose.

Yahoo! Companion:

By far the one i hate most out of the whole Y! Essential package. For a start, you cant just turn it off like the normal additional toolbars in internet explorer [eg. DAP Toolbar]. Only uninstalls. And it tries to acces the Yahoo Site even when u're working offline.... that slows donw the page loading sometimes... cos it'd have to try it.... fail before it continues loading the rest of the page.

Apart from that, the toolbar it almost redundant now that there's built-in search from Yahoo! with the essential package. Now when you type something in the address par, it searces in Yahoo! instead of MSN. Cool if you use yahoo for searching a lot. Not so cool if u go for the more *control* in searching provided by Google and it's Google Toolbar. What I do is leave this out of the Y! Essential Installation package.... it's more fun without it.

PS: Please Marian.. go easy on me
