It’s been a while…

Evening guys and girls. As you may have noticed, a few weeks ago I stopped posting without any prior notice or warning. I made promises to certain people that I would start posting again soon but that never happened and that, I am sorry for.

My original reason for my lack of posts was that I had to move out for a short while because of family problems. After those problems passed, I moved back in and got back to playing EVE to give myself something to blog about. This worked for a bit but eventually my plan fell through and someone in the house managed to go over my ISP’s fair use limit which ended up lowering my connection speed from 3Mb/s to 128Kb/s, which in turn meant that I couldn’t play EVE as I was stuck in Jita. And as we all know, Jita is hell to get out of even with the best connection.
After all this, I somehow (by some stroke of luck) managed to get myself a girlfriend. Which means that I’m now spending less time online and, as a result, having less time to play EVE or write any blog posts. On top of that, I’m going to be moving house on Monday or Tuesday and I won’t be getting an internet connection in the new house for at least two weeks.

But, in spite of all that, I will be trying my absolute best to keep updated and write blog posts from now until Monday/Tuesday and from then, until I get online in the new house.

On a side note, I’m still waiting for people to give me their opinions on whether I should stick with my current blog layout or change to a new one. So, to make it easier for you to make a decision I’ve put two screenshots together, one of the current design and one of the design I may have.

There are two sidebars at the bottom of the layout on the right but they looked a bit messy so I cut them out of the screenshot. The reason I cut them out is that if I were to choose that layout, I would tidy the sidebars up quite a bit so they fit in more with the layout as a whole. Also, by all means if you know of a layout design that I can use (i.e. a design for blogs on wordpress.com) and that will look better than either of these, tell me the name and I’ll take a look.

Until I get my next post up, here’s a funny little animation that came bundled with my new Samsung YP-S5 MP3 Player.

 

Happy Holidays!

As there is very little (more like nothing) going on in EVE at the moment, I haven’t really had anything to write about. Unfortunately, I still don’t have anything to write about so this post is just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah and any other holiday you may celebrate. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get anything written up within the next couple days as I’ll be quite busy. That said, I’ll most likely take some pictures over the next few days; so my next post or next few entries may end up being mainly photography based.

I’m still looking for more opinions on whether I should change the layout of my blog. So far, the general view seems to be that I should change it but that’s from about four people, so I want to get a few more opinions before I make a final decision. You can find the layout preview here, and any opinions would be great. Even if you don’t read this blog regularly, I’d like to hear your opinion on whether I should stick with the current layout or change to the new one.

On a side note, you may have noticed that I now have a donation link at the bottom of this entry (and will have at the bottom of most entries from now on). The main reason behind this is that I eventually want to have my blog under its own domain name. And while domains are relatively cheap, hosting tends not to be; especially when, like me, you’re a student with very little money.
By no means am I trying to force you to donate anything. Of course, any donations will be greatly appreciated but if you do not wish to donate anything, that’s fine and you are free to ignore the paragraph below.
