Just when you thought I was dead...

Wow! Can you believe it! I've actually posted on my blog!!!!

Well to anyone who stumbled across this in cyberspace and doesn't know me in meatspace probably thought that I'd shuffled off to meet my maker. As you can see now with your own eyes, those rumours are not true. So I've got a couple of links I've gathered which I thought everyone might enjoy.

I Park Like An Idiot - You suck at parking! Let the world know it!
I'm not exactly sure about the point of this website (although that statement can be applied to most things on the web) but from what I can gather they are encouraging you to put stickers on cars which have parked badly. Then take a photo and send it to them. I stumbled on this link ages ago and the photos haven't changed to so it must not be very popular. The idea of whacking a big yellow sticker on that car which has just been beached on the footpath is still pretty funny.
Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About
Well I've just spent the last hour or so reading this webpage. It's gold. Pure gold. I suggest you actually follow the above link and have a read.
Ming The Merciless
I have to give the credit to teamRobin for finding this link. It seems to be random flash animations and/or images. Most are amusing. I quite enjoyed Mingdows myself. Go, click, enjoy.

It's a beautiful thing

I was chatting to a good friend of mine online the other day and was reminded of this poem. I like it very much so I've decided to share it with you, my adoring AydsBlog audience.

Morning Poem

I woke early one morning,
The earth lay cool and still
When suddenly a tiny bird
Perched on my window sill.

He sang a song so lovely
So carefree and so gay,
That slowly all my troubles
Began to slip away.

He sang of far off places
Of laughter and of fun,
It seemed his very trilling,
brought up the morning sun.

I stirred beneath the covers
Crept slowly out of bed,
Then gently shut the window
And crushed his fucking head.

I'm not a morning person.

Shamelessly ripped from this URL http://www.jardmail.co.uk/misc/morningpoem.shtml however that was just because it was pretty high up on my quick Google search.

You Know You're Addicted to Coding When...

Blogthings - You Know You're Addicted to Coding When...

Ok, so it's probably pretty lame that I'm posting a link to a site called "Blogthings" which specifically exists to host useless, but still somehow amusing little things designed to be blogged about.

Perhaps it's a reflection of some deficiency in the way I structure my life that gave me the time to read this, and more importantly post about it. Perhaps it's some indication of a social problem I'm facing which prevents me from having enough things to fill the day. Perhaps I'm just crapping on so this post will be of decent length.

Whichever way you look at it, I have enough of these qualities to be worried. Perhaps there's a patch? Some chewing gum? I can see it now "Codabate C# - Stop Coding Aid" and people walking around with embarassed looks on their faces saying "...it's OK, I've really cut down. I'm only doing a bit of social scripting languages now...".

I suppose everyone has to have their addictions, and there are certainly worse one's out there. Perhaps I'll just be happy with mine...
