A BABE A DAY + Daliy moans 

Galicia, a moan and a babe

I have been too busy to make any entries over the last few days, but I have now completed the site design for galiciaspain.net which I will start uploading next week.

Using photoshop for the graphic element has been a real pain, but at least that is a bridge I have now crossed and I have most definitely learnt this program through my own mistakes. I retain the view that it is the least intuitive piece of software I have yet to encounter. That said, it produces excellent results and has a flexibility that would be even greater for web work if the “png” file type was universally supported by browsers.

The site becomes my 3rd major domain about Galicia and the 5th in total.

Yet again google have started removing pages from their index – 80 last week. I have emailed them, but got the usual response that the site was fine, under no penalty and that I should take a look at their web master advice. The truth is google themselves should take a look at this advice, since complying with does a site more harm than good. They do however still retain over 20 of my ex-pages on their supplemental index that have not been present on the site since before July 2005 – what an impressive search engine.

Here is the babe

Galicia and yesterdays babe

This is the pic that for some reason did not upload yesterday.

Having regained the 130 or so pages that one of my Galicia sites lost on google, it is now lsing them all over again. A fall of 60 overnight.

Amazing that msn and yahoo pick up every page and do not index any dead pages whilst google deindex live pages and index over 20 pages that have not been on the server for over 10 months.

Forget what folk law says, google are the pits..........

Sorry, no further comments allowed because of spammers.

spam and a babe

I continue to be frustrated and infuriated by the Photoshop software. I called it counter intuitive the other day, but that is an offence to my own brilliant intellect, upon which the application of this tool is completely lost.

If it was not enough that this blog is the victim of spammers (although they are not true spammers since their pathetic attempts are pointless and bear no “fruits”), I am suffering the same annoyance at one of may domain emails.

Yet again morons have started sending me repeat emails (sometimes 3 per day), all to different variation of the “catch all” email address. Each offers the chance to have my details removed from their database!, but in reality what they really want is a contact requesting this which, in so doing, confirms which catch all variation is the one I use. Aside from the irritation this causes, it is one of the prime causes of internet “slow down”. Dick brains like these sends 1000’s if not 10’s of 1000’s of these junk items per day slowing down the internet.

I also got a pleading email from a 3rd world girl, whose parents are dead and sister requires a life saving operation – or so she claims. She has no money or education, but amazingly has an internet connected PC with a yahoo account and an excellent command of a second language! She also has a bank account into which I can pay her money! I deleted the email, but in retrospect should have sent her the details forwarded to me by a Swedish lottery company earlier in the week. They informed me that I had won a million euros and wanted my bank details in order to transfer my winnings. I should have put the two in touch!

Her is the totty for the day……………….

Spamming blogs

I see yesterday that yet more comments have been added to my blog in the form of a list of url’s intended to promote something.

As an SEO, I have previously posted about the pointlessness of this exercise, but since html is not accepted in the blogeasy interface in any event, why does the idiot who keeps doing it add the code, thereby making his links totally invisible! I never fail to be amazed at how stupid some people are.

A final thought on the matter is the failure of blogeasy to have some kind of “strip out” routine they can routinely run over the blogs to remove this sort of rubbish. Other bloggers have, so why not here!

The day before yesterday a horrendous documentary about the destruction of parts of Tanzania, its people economy and culture, by the introduction of giant perch into its lakes was shown again on TV. I wrote my longest ever entry when I saw this program the first time and, although I only caught the last 20 minutes, this showing was equally horrific. The UN, EU and numerous other international bodies should have their representatives summarily executed for what they have financed and promoted in this country. It remains the most shocking TV program I have ever seen.

Here is a babe.

Amnesty in Britain! + the babe

A brilliantly incite full minister in the British government is now suggesting an amnesty for all of our illegal immigrants. That includes terrorists, criminals and those (which include nearly all) who have no English language skills.

The ideal, it is claimed, would “clear the decks” and sort out the illegal immigration issue over night.

I think the idea is brilliant in its simplicity, but limited in its application. I really think that this concept should be applied to all our societal problems. For starters we have too many criminals and not enough prisons to house them. Solution – let’s give them all an amnesty.

But why stop there. We could save time and effort and actually do away with the amnesty all together by making everything legal. It is a brilliant solution and would mean the tax payers would have no costs for prosecuting and housing rapists, murderers and other criminals. Equally the criminals would not have the emotional worry of being captured and sentenced. There lives would be less stressful too. It all sound great, letsa reward criminality and illegal behaviour.

Only in Britain!!!!

Here is the babe – she can have an amnesty anytime.

Babe pic and Galicia

I have decided to venture into the world of Adobe Photoshop to create a logo.

This is my least favourite software package on the planet and whilst it is versatile, productive and always gives professional results, it has the most counter-intuitive interface imaginable. Regrettably it will take me hours to do something that should take minutes and I will be in a state of extreme agitation by the time I have finished – if I ever do.

The weather remains atrocious in the UK and Leeds United were well and truly hammered in their Premiership play off match yesterday. As a none football fan I am however not overly concerned.

Here is a bit of skirt (minus the skirt and nearly everything else)


Anything else….. Well I just need to mention Galicia, holidays and hotels in Galicia, plus Santiago de Compostela. I will be there myself in less than another seven weeks.

A babe pic

After 2 entries yesterday, I am limiting my efforts to a picture of a babe and little else today.

Monkey was rubbish on TV last night, but this evening....... the Eurovision song contest. I just hope that Finland, with their incredible "Monster" rock band, win, and then eat all the other competitors.

The X9internet saga continued + babe

On Tuesday of last week I went through the process of registering a domain and purchasing a hosting plan with a collection of idiots, communally known as X9internet.

Two days, three days and a week later, the domain was still available, my emails were ignored and there was no contact at all from these cowboys, despite threats and reporting them to Trading Standards (they used paypal to take my payment on Tuesday).

Today I decided I would buy the domain from my usual host (there are reasons why I wanted a different one), but discovered that the domain was now gone…..

On checking the email address that I gave to X9internet, I discovered that they emailed me late yesterday, 10 days after they took my money, 8 days after failing to respond to my first email with a standard form confirming the domain registration and giving server details. No apology or explanation.

To equate this performance to the rest of industry, it is like buying a TV with next day delivery and getting it 7 or 8 months later.

Needless to say I will continue to lambaste X9internet in this and other blogs. Naturally I have no confidence in their host plan, although the “whois” details show that they did at least register the domain in my name. Perhaps they intend to sneakily change it at some point in the future.

So, the moral is, do not buy a domain or hosting package from X9internet be warned!

Finally, as this is the 2nd post today, here is a 2nd hand babe (one used before)

Monkey Magic + pigsy pic

Monkey

I watched Monkey last night in horror and despair!

It was the first episode of a new series (made in 1981) and there was shock after shock.

For starters, the original pigsy was “no more” and had been replaced by a different actor. In script jokes and comments tried to explain the change.

The pigsy thing was always coming, and I was aware (or recalled) of the switch of actors from the original showing.

This however was the second in a series of “Monkey” body blows and the first was the abbreviation of the musical and narrated intro. The high point of each episode, the description of monkey evolving from “stone” and “thought” and having an “irrepressible” nature, was curtailed into a 6 or 7 second summary – blasphemous!

To complete the episodes downfall, the closing music, my favourite (over Monkey Magic), was replaced by a seventies style disco song and the credit images were also different. I needed several stiff drinks to recover.

On a positive note, the film quality was far higher than in previous episodes (it appeared to be digitally re-mastered) and Masako Natsume (Tripitaka) looked more stunning than ever.

For a change no babe, but instead a photo of the original and best Pigsy.



Galicia spain and places near by......

Bikini Babes

I worked a 13 hour day yesterday, putting together a new web site, and had no time for a proper blog entry, so today I will try to write something longer than a single sentence.

Both Lost and Desperate Housewives had weak episodes this week, but Invasion is starting to develop a good plot – no doubt it will be pulled from the schedule as all the programs I like often are!

Today sees the first of the weekly helping of two Monkey episodes with Tripitaka back to portraying a man again.



I heard on the radio this morning that “Arsenal” lost their European cup final yesterday (sorry, I neither watched it, nor followed the result last night). As ever with English football clubs, my question is how many English, or at least British players were in the team? The rule of thumb appears to be 3 to 6 in most premiership sides, so they hardly represent the country, let alone the city they play for. My team (I use the expression loosely) Leeds are in the play-offs for a premiership spot at them moment, but I will not lose any sleep over the outcome.
