February 1st 2007: So...
Streaming Song Of The Day: Sweet Home Chicago - The Blues Brothers

I am not an entirely happy bunny. First, I got 4 hours sleep. I'll prolly crash for another hour or so later. Secondly, everyone seems damned determined that I will not win the Hit21.com tournament. Some little whippersnapper for whom I have no respect has shot in at number 1 with 10,000 more than me. That's fine. If he/she/it wants to up the stakes, that's all good with me. But I am determined to win. I've never been at number 1 once, let alone three times in a week, and I am not going to let some kid just waltz in and steal it.

Secondly, I have been learning about Web 2.0, and it is interesting. To the point where it may actually call for an entire shift in this site. Or at least a Web 2.0 mirror of this site. It'd have a collaborative music player, tv channel, games section, and Alife lab. I'm planning to launch it really soon. Like in the next day or two.

And so far...I've done nothing else productive! I'm actually just waiting on some clothes to finish tumble drying, then I am off to Southampton. And possibly buying a 400gb external hard disk. £89 at Maplin. Bargain I think, because they'll never be that cheap again. Well...maybe in 2-3 years, but I need that sort of storage capacity now. It will mean that this bad boy I use to create all my projects on will have almost 1 terrabyte (a thousand gigabytes) of storage space at it's disposal.

Oh, and big news for me and my personal life...plans are in the pipeline for Alecita to come visit me in April, which will be amazing. I think we're both realising how much we missed out on by her not coming here for these two weeks I had off. I'll book the end of April off, and then spend 2-3 weeks with my fiancee. Who knows...maybe I'll make an honest woman of her in those two weeks. Whatever happens, it's going to be a blast!

February 1st 2007: Blackjack Update
For those following my progress in the hit21.com tournament, and I know one certain girl is... I lost my place at number one AGAIN! Irritating as hell! But...my first hand was a blinder. Dealer had a 6, I got two double down chances, and a a natural Backjack, and took 3750. Put me over 3000 ahead of the guy who was number 1. I decided that was good enough for me and stopped. I WILL win this damned tournament.
