I was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and lived there till I was 17, then I moved to Finland and have been staying here ever since. I study, work and take care of a Finnish Hound puppy, two budgies, a tortoise and a boyfriend. I like Carnivore, Type O Negative, The Pixies, Rasputina and a zillion other bands. I also play bass in a band ;P

My mummy is coming to Finland! We’re on our way to pick her, her boyfriend and my little sister right now. The car journey is a bit dull.. I was working today and then on my way back my friends scooter (which I was borrowing) decided to die so that was a bit freaky, turns out it was just the battery though so no biggie. I have Thursday and Friday off which will be a nice break. I think i’ll eat one of the tangerines I brought with me.. Bye for now ;p~

Well…I’ll start with the plugin stuff.. I require some help.. from some kind soul.. who can explain in human terms, HOW THE HELL DO I USE THE WORDPRESS SVN REPOSITORY? If you have a looky here, you’ll see that I somehow managed to get my plugin up there.. and people are downloading it etc. etc. What I can’t do is update it or get my other plugins there. I did install an SVN client but then how to I make it attach itself to a different folder, like say I want to move my local plugin folder? I can’t find any ‘SVN For Dummies’ sites so it’s holding me back. I’m a coder not a programmer dont-cha-know so this is way above my head. So if someone could give me a hand please get in touch and I’ll be your best bud, will link to your site and praise you to high heaven :)
As for what I’ve been doing.. well I’ve been working full-time and family has been over here and it’s been rather hellish for a while. Am looking forward to my mum, her boyfriend and my sister coming over (they’re arriving on the 21st) and am simply trying to cope till then cos I’ll get four days off!
I have also been working on some new ideas and a new theme for this site. I’d like to get my plugins into Wordpress Extend so that I can deal with support requests/bugs easier but so far it’s been headaches all the way. Also I sort of made content for this site so that people would visit.. so if people don’t come for the plugins then why will they come? :S It’s a no-win situation, and I’ve just realised that yet again I’ve gone back to the geeky talk pfft.
Lauri got into uni! Well technically he got into two uni’s but he got into the one nearest here which is brilliant cos he doesn’t have to go live in student dorms and come home and weekends.. so he’s stuck with me, nae luck Lauri.
The dog is on a diet. The vet said he’s got too much weight on his bones so the poor wee bugger is out getting a lot more exercise and a lot less nice things. He turned two this year but he was neutered at six months so the vet says that has a lot to do with it also. Anyway poor Scamp, gets nothing fine.
Well I’ve rambled on for long enough me thinks, any longer and I’ll have to page it. I really hope someone gets in contact either through email harleyREMOVE@THISharleyquine.com or through comments or something. Ta-taaaa for now!
P.S We’ve got a paid gig next Saturday! Yayyyy.

It seems that the more advanced technology gets the harder it is to get things to play nice with each other.. can’t get my phone synched with anything.. what a pain.. if my phone dies, then so does my data. That’ll teach me to think that life could be simple..

I have decided…
I’m buying a new phone and new package. The phone I have currently is alright but it has weird text prediction and the heat sensitive buttons are forever closing things that I didn’t want closed. Also my bills are insane for calling (its not that I phone that much but the connection charge blah blah all adds up :S). So.. I’m gonna get a cool phone, pay an arm and a leg every month and with a bit of luck that’ll be the only charge cos I’ll get a free minutes package as well as a text one. I’ve decided on the Nokia E90. It’s over a year old but I reckon with all those features I’ll never be lacking again. It’s also got good connectivity support as well as synch support and hell.. it’s Nokia, much better than this Samsung crap. So.. tomorrow I’m gonna nip off to the city to go to the shop, sort it out and hopefully have a new phone.. if they don’t have them in stock then I’ll order it online and wait just like everyone else.. with a bit of luck I’ll be writing blogs on my new phone by this time tomorrow night.
In other news.. I graduated on the 31st of May. It was a rather nifty affair (see the photo above) in which I got a sailor hat and a nice wee hardback folder proving that I’m a brainy bugger. The school also found my missing AICE paper (not the final diploma but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick) and bundled it all in there. So I am officially free from school and exams etc. etc.
Just before school finished I had a few essays and things to write up to get courses and stuff and I also started a nifty new job. After school ended I started my summer job which is the same job really only 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, instead of a few hours a day a few days a week. The job is being a personal assistant to a disabled person which is challenging, interesting and highly amusing. It’s good that my employer has a dark sense of humour or we’d never get through the day :)
