I have decided that I am going to be using the “tags” feature of wordpress from now on.
They are good for the searches, and also good for listing the blog/website on the google searches too!
Not really too sure why I have not been using them already to be completly fair with you - but that is beside the point!
Anyway, really not sure what else to blog about - so, I’m outta here!

Why is it that if you can’t think of something - or you just can’t be bothered with doing something, having a shower sorts it all.
I’m being serious, I got my brain stuck on a peice of coding a little while ago - went for a shower, and eh carumba there it was, coming straight from my fingers onto my keyboard - and wo-betide me, it worked!
Anyway, I know that I have not been doing my one post per day promise, but I think I shall be starting that up again, as keeping a blog is kinda important to me - not quite sure why to be honest - but it just is, okay? Yeah, thought so!
Going to be going to Ipswich to look at a car with Louise on Sunday! A green clio - oh my gosh Louise, GREEN & CLIO! Can you hold back the excitement? Haha, thought not!
Anyway, I will be writing more later today!
- M, Hitting home the truth!

This is the second day that I have had the RC 9081!
I think that it is an amazing peice of kit, I mean come on - its RC, its fun, its cheap, and it freaking flys! What more could you possibly want? haha! ok, there is quite a bit more that you might well want - but that is not the point!
This is my brother that is holding the camera (thanks Darren) - and its me that is flying (got the control in the hand anyway haha!).
Now, you might say “that it is not exactly doing very much to be quite honest with you“, but, I mean, come off it - its the second day that I have had it!
Here’s a quick video of me flying the 9081 helicopter in my kitchen!

Are you having a bad day? Are you pissed off? Do you hate it how professional singers go and change the lyrics of their songs without letting anybody know.
At least, that’s how it feels like at times. No matter how well I think I know a song that is currently being played on the radio of over my media player of some sort - and I’m having a little bit of a sing song, There are always a few words that I seem to get Wrong. Now, I think it is not me that is getting the words wrong, but I think it is the particular song file that I am playing.
That is most definitely the reasoning behind it - it just can’t be me singing it wrong, it just cant!!!.
Wouldn’t it be pretty awesome if there was some kind of way that the media player could randomly check to see if a file needs updating, and the singer was to change their files from time to time, just altering the odd word here and there - just to catch them out! haha!
I find it funny anyway!

So, I have been up most of the night, and all of today, how insane must I actually be?
I found out the most ridiculous thing today. Every single Saturday of my life, there has always been a posty walk past and sometimes put something into my door. But, it has never ever occurred to me that the postman in the little red van - never comes on a Saturday or a Sunday. I was expecting my loverly RC Helicopter to arrive today as that was the length on the postage request - but it turns out because it was only First Class normal postage - it gets held behind until Monday.
Now, I see this as completely ludicrous. The guy paid first class, for something that is going to take longer than second class - and surly if the people on the bikes do it on a Saturday, why on earth can the van drivers not. I see it as the best time to do it to be quite fair with you. I mean, most people don’t work on a Saturday, so that means that people will actually be home when the guy goes to deliver it.
I had my parachute on ready for my first flight, but, it seems that I am going to have to wait till Monday evening to even USE the god dam thing. I wanted a weekend of fun with it. What makes it even WORSE is the fact that I required 8 AA’s for the transmitter (handset), so I decided to buy 8 rechargeable batteries, now, I thought “OK, it is going to be getting here tomorrow, so I better make sure that these god dam batteries get here on time, or I am just going to get angry!). So, I paid extra cash, which now shows me that it was a complete waste of cash. I just love wasting cash, and my time….
So at the moment - I hate Royal Mail…. BLAH

It’s quite strange how just tidying up your room, or something else in your life, it makes things make a lot more sense.
It also makes you work a lot better and efficient. Just writing a to do list works absolute wonders!
I have split my blog up into sections which should make things easier to read!

I have created a nice little plugin for wordpress.
Any blog post that I create here will automatically be “twittered” to my twitter profile. :).
You can get this by emailing me at kram.esor@gmail.com, although I will put it up for public download soon enough!

Today, I received a Twitter asking me how to describe Twitter in 140 characters or less. I find it very hard, but what I came up with was “Versatile activity blog with the ability to network with others”.
Now, this may not make much sense to many of you - but regardless it is a pretty good sum-up of what Twitter actually is.
More to the point, I think I might be making a miniature application for Twitter, possible even something that could be loaded as a module for forums/bulletin boards and/or blogs/diary’s. Which would simply use the titles of what people are posting/blogging about, as a twitter - with a tiny-URL going towards that particular post. I think this would be something that would combine everything together - using Twitter as the networking hub - which it is in its own right. If I do create this I will most definitely be releasing it on this blog. WATCH THIS SPACE! (Not this very space of course, but I’m sure that you all know what the saying means….)

I have finally gotten arounded to actually using the service Twitter.
I think it is an absolutly service, and its completely free!
Basically, you can update your “status” to whatever you’re up to at the moment in time. You can update your status in many ways, via IM’s on certain programs, via E-Mail, text messages, the lot.
I have started to use this service as I think it is a very nice way that people can find out what I am up to, and they can also just press a single button on the twitter website (nudge) - and then it will alert me via a text message on my phone (completely free) and I can just send a text back (only charges the same amount that it would to send a normal text message), and it would update on my twitter profile and on this blog page. Also if someone is follwing me on twitter they would get alerts (if they have them enabled and what not).
Anyway, I would suggest this service to anybody and everybody, after all its free! You can always follow me on twitter if you have an account, my profile is http://twitter.com/KramEsor
