Succesful Export

All the journal Entries have been exported into Movable Type now. I'm still using blogger untill I get round to updating the site again.

The comments were succesfully imported as well... thanks for the co-operation about not posting anything. The "ban" is now lifted... yabber away.

I'm An Uncle Again

My sis has a new baby. She's two days old and all blasé about everything. I think she's not yet figured out what her arms are for; she tries to put 'em in her mouth but then they keep jerking all over the place. Like a rapper moves their arms about when spitting rhymes.

Let's all welcome Abena Gyeiwaa Poku.... and hope she likes this side of the world outside of the womb better.

The Exodus

Alright... if any of you bothered to look at the "about dotFAF" sidebar, you'da realised it now says "powered by MT" for the journal and that the earlier acknowlegdement to duodenum.net for comments has been removed.

That's what i was up to all of last nite. Creating templates... editing entires to show new, correct URI. Was hectic but most of the hardwark is done. I had to manually move some of the comments into MT though. It was all worth it too. Just keep watching... i'll come up with more... so you can know what MT is capable of.

A little problem though is that using the left, button-sidebar on the archives pages doesnt work... yet. i need to do some tweaking I've sent out some mail to my co-authors... the directions for logging in and posting are included... if for some reason i missed u out... well let me know.... and remember... dont give that link out!!

It's A New World

Yeah there's a new baby in my house but that's not all. I feel kindda very fresh myself... with the re-vamp of the site an all. I also cleared off all my owings... yup Faf's in the black now.

My bank balance had never come to zero, so to speak, though i cant be sure about it being somewhere close to 1.30 pounds ... yup i've been THAT broke annd unlike brownie, i cant blame in on a time of the month [did that sound right?]

Anyway... i cleared off all my owings.... so whatever i get from working now will go in my own pocket... that is unless i owe someone lese i forgot about.

[think...] nah dont think so... so i guess even if i do... i aint gonna pay since i cant remember. :P

Been Too Quiet

Anyone wanna let me in on the secret? It's been too quiet around here.

By the way... i'm still working on that baby bonding thing... my sister's aby is the "freshest" i've come into contact with. It the first time i've held a less-than-a-week old baby in my arms.

I stare at her for a long time... and imagine her growing up... and then she poops!! Lol... yup... she does that. But I dont mind...

Rachel Yankey

This Rachel Yankey.

No she hasnt died or got into an accident. I just think once in a while you have to give people their due props before something bad happens to them or they grow too old to revel in the fame.

She's a footballer and has some amazing records in her field. Just try google's pages on her to see [google-it]

Dogs At It

I spent the last half hour explaining to a buncha ma english friends when dogs "get at it" they sometimes get stuck.

Now I havent seen any dogs "doing the doggy-dirty" since i've been in London (2yrs +), but a scene like that was more common in Ghana where dogs arent carried on a leash always.

And oh! the fun we used to have! Call me a perv... call me whatever but what we did was wait till they got stuck then we'll pelt them with stones aiming for "the joint". If one of us was brave enough, they got themselves a stick and went close enuff to whack 'em on there with it.

The male pulls in one direction and the bitch in the other. Cruelty to animals huh? Now that's what I call harmful fun.

Enough Deterrent?

Surely this should keep be enough deterrent for anyone:

East Coast/West Coast: Bush VS bin Laden

You really need to see this:

War isnt just for the battlefield.

Final Blues

I noticed everything is getting really frustrating. It's just about time for finals over here and the stress is setting in. I'd advice you get a massage ever so often from a friend or anyone willing to help you relax. That's about all I have for now since I've also been caught with the FINALS Stress virus. You guys should comment, let us know what's up in your lives. ....later people

Which ____ Are You?

I dunno, maybe i'm the odd one out... but why do i hate those things so much? You find a blog you wanna read out of the lot... you keep on going back to read it... then all of a sudden the author is caught in these "which blah are you?" things.[here]

I dunno why people are so obessessed with being told which character in the simpsons they are [here], or which four-letter expletive they are when they know very well it's all bollocks!!

Granted it's intiguing... you wanna know what they're gonna say you are... but when it starts taking over you website.... then there must be something wrong.

Nuff said.

Is My Comments System Working?

Huh.... is it?

£90 Million Debt Cancellation for Ghana

The African Development Bank (ADB) is apparently cancelling Ghana's debts to that amount. I dunno how this is going to directly help me but I hope that much money doesnt go into someone's pocket ...and only bring our debt back up high.

I wonder why they didnt just cancel everything.

Culled From: BBC Africa [Business]

What If...?

Ok, so everyone knows you cant live on the moon because it's not got oxygen... but has anyone tried it yet? I mean have they taken someone onto the moon and taken off their suit to see if they'll survive?

And about 'em space suits... we might not need 'em afterall.... a lil' radiation never killed anyone. I'll volunteer to take that test... if I go bald from xposure to radiation... well what's a lil' baldness.

Now seriously... what If we didnt need air to breathe at all on the moon? In fact what if we didnt need air at all to breathe ... even on earth? Huh?... what if the whole.. "died from lack of oxygen" is a scam by the FBI and the MI6 to keep us grounded on earth?

What if i'd stopped at the first "what if".... then I guess I wouldnt come accross as the eccentric that I am.

New Splash Page

I know some of you cant be bothered to go to the main page so if you havent seen it already... then go here.

It's a lil sumthing i did in photoshop and flash. I just found out I could get all my rolls of film on CD for only £2.00 each. I'm gonna go dig up all my old rolls I brought from Ghana and get 'em digital-ised. I've already got two rolls so be expecting some pics soon.

The only thing holding me back is having to decide whether i should just upload the images without any comments or whether to make it a photolog i.e. a blog of photos.

The latter seems to be the best option but my host [featureprice] dont support the Perl Module that will allow me to do that best. blah blah blah..... just go look at the spalsh... i meant splash [go]. [ i always spell it wrong]

The Stupid "Which Color Of The Ghanaian Flag Are You?" Quiz

I guess if you're a regular here then you knew THIS was coming soon, one way or the other. Anyway, since everyone capable of creating a webpage thinks they can match anyone's personality to anything in a given criteria... i thought i'd also jump on the band-wagon.

There's not much I can say about this than:

[burb] [burp!] [burp!!]

See i've got this half-hiccup thing i do. I suppress it b4 the ending "cup" comes out.... so i'll call it a "hic". Anyway... my sister insits it's a burp and that i have to say sorry everytime i do it.

I hate being told what to do to "be a gentleman"... so i'm protesting. Well, i'm having none of that so i'm not saying "sorry" when i do ma hics... and as a further protest i'm not even saying sorry when i burp... full burps for that matter.

Normally i try to suppress it whenever i get the urge to burp so it comes our "pfffffft" instead of the usual "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!!". Now ma sis, she burps all the time and says "sorry" or "excuse me"... well tell you wot, it doesnt make it any more acceptable... nope it doesnt.

So.... "burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!!!!", sue me!

Photolog Beta 1.0

I've managed to setup a photolog with recent pictures of me using a digicam a friend gave to me. The images are a bit grey and blurry but those that i put on here are the best i cud get.

My webhost still doesnt support the image magik module so the pics i've from my other camera arent yet on.

Lost My Lotto-Virginity

I broke my lotto-hymen yesterday when for the first time in my life i decided to play the lottery. There was this special draw by the national lottery (UK) where for £1 you could play 4 draws... so i thought, what the hell... i'll give it a go.

Initially i planned to ask you guys to suggest the numbers to play but since i couldnt get online on friday and yesterday i decided to rely on some random-computer-generated numbers. Worked a treat... NOT. So i didnt win. OK cant say i didnt ever try my luck in this life... it's not something i'm gonna be doing again. I've always known i wasnt a lucky sort of person... yesterday was just confirmation... plus i'da turned down the money anyway. Whoever heard on anyone winning the lottery on their first try?

Stewart and his Aqua-(Skunk)-Farming

Yesterday i went down to Plaistow, East London to help out one of ma friends, Kwaku Amo-Mante, with moving his things from South London. It was ONE busy day but the highlight of it was when we met Stewart. He has a lot of radical views on why Mugabe is right about kicking white farmers out and about why he hates white Europeans and Americans. But then you cant blame him... he was half-drunk and what do they say about Half-drunk people knowing the answer to everything? Well, to cut a long story short...

I asked him, "D'u smoke this stuff?", pointing to a can of hash with a Bob Marley picture on it.
He goes... "I GROW it!"... ok... so i thought, how possibly? he lives on an Estate where almost everyone else knows the other's bizniz. He cudnt possibly grow it in the back garden.

Well then he decided to tell me about "Aqua-Farming".... basically... you grow stuff in... [guess]... water! Yup...

How it works:
Cut out a piece of said rag, dampen it and place your seeds on it. Sit the rag on the netting above the water that prevents it from sinking. Power on the unit and keep adding some nutrients to the water as when needed.

You dont have to do anything from then on just watch your weed grow.

I dont smoke. nah.. not tobbaco... not marijuana... actually i do dislike poeple who smoke [anything at all] to an extent but there's no denying that it a very clever idea.

What he's done it remove all the hassle of having to go buy weed from someone and getting nabbed by the police. The only way he'll get into any problem is if someone rats on him... highly unlikely since all his friends smoke it.

Second advantage is how much money he saves in the long run. It costs about £200 initially for the equipment [if his friend werent the inventor] and a further £100 for the nutrients and light-bulb. That's a far cry away from the value of the 10 ounces he harvested from his first tree*

Of course if you're gonna go into Aqua-Farming you probably wouldnt be able to since Stu's friend inst yet selling his invention. Good luck!!

Guess Who's Back?

News Flash:

Yah! Jesus is back... and like a thief in the night he snuck up and learnt more javascript that u'd ever know. And oh.. that whole "jesus was black thing"... y'all got almost got it right... he's kindda dark.

You can purchase The Living Face of Jesus™ for just a few quid... $50 to be precise

Guess whose Back?- the real deal

Hello my kiddie boops and Kiddie baps, Nyaka pops and nyaka pimps, mommies and poppies, dishambombs and dishambims..... its time for the greatest person in the whole world........BROWNAANGEL!!!!

Yeah its me, i'm back.

where have i been?
Well, i was writing finals, moving out of my dorm, moving into my Summer joint and visiting and doing Graduation stuff with the family.... needless to say, I have been swamped.

What are my summer plans?
Working tryin to make that $$$ and staying away from compromising positions with guys as much as possible.... I really have to pray and fast about this

What i wanna achieve this summer?
Yeah i told Faf that i'd get my own website up soon and yea i need to make use of my XP( :-P) and my PC- which i recently hooked up 60GB of memory, and PCI card with a digital cam.... what else do i need people, what else do i need. Possibly a blogger but i need a name actually thats the main reason i haven't done anything-- thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it!!
working on my writing, my resume and career research and all that good stuff. Catch up on my reading- i got a long reading list..... suggestions are welcome....
and finally i'd say just travel - i have London lined up and California.....well the rest will be east coast so anyone want to meet me, send a ticket and assure me of a bed at night :)

So lemme know what your plans are and you never know this just might be the summer that it all happens( don't ask me what that means, even i don't know)

G-ay-gle Related

Not long ago, Google told me my website was related to Oprah Winfreys... well looks like google's changed its mind.... now dotFAF.com is related to Here Inside a weblog by a gay man, Charlie, regarding... guess what?... gay issues.

The first thing that cought my eye on his page was a link labelled "My Sexual Encounters"... yeah it scared me at fisrt... what if a page pops up with gay sex and starts shouting "Hey everybody, I'm watching gay porn!!!" [It's happened b4]... it just turned out to be a neat program for logging one's sexual encounters.... so quoting Charlie, "Never forget his/her name again"... and maybe it if you're a rubber doll shagger.

Ghana Topsites

I know i'm supposed to be taking time away to revise for my exams but I thought i'd give you guys another nifty thing to play with. It's the Ghana Topsites

It's simple: You submit your site so people can vote on it. If you know of any website that deserves to be in there, lemme know and i'll contact the webmaster.

Yeah i know the buton sucks but tired so i'll make one later.

Pot-Bellied Faf?

I just looked in the mirror this morning and i realised i'm getting a bit of a belly. I've lost all the weight i gained but somehow i lost my six-pack as well. I think i'm gonna have to start doing the sit-ups again.
