I woke up thismorning from this pretty hectic dream; I don’t know why, but we were leaving my old primary school with my brother, Iain, driving, Andre in the front passenger seat, me behind him, and my Dad next to me in the back. As we start to drive down the school’s driveway, Dad says “Drive safe” about 2 seconds before Iain pulled out really quickly, almost T-boning another car, but missing him by a tiny bit, which made it look either really pro, or really lucky. Andre and Dad share a worried sort of glance as we then start speeding off down the street.

We come in way too fast into the next corner, and we continue onto the wrong side of the road, and an oncoming car swerves to avoid us, running into a house, as we go up the gutter and come to a stop on someone’s front lawn. We get out and I see that the two cars behind had bumped into eachother, and the two drivers were out and yelling at eachother, blaming eachother. Iain is about to go over and try and calm things down, but one of them pulls out a gun.

Iain and I then start running away, jumping people’s fences trying to get away from the guy with a gun who is now chasing us. Unfortunately, this is where I woke up. I like to think that the rest of the dream would have been me fighting the guy and beating him, but it probably would have gone something more along the lines of me getting chased down and shot.

I downloaded a DJ set from The Mixing Bowl by Satoshi Tomiie for SAW Radio a few weeks ago, and pretty much fell in love with the song at the end of the set, and had been listening to it every night quite loudly for the past few nights. I don’t know why it took me so long, but yesterday, I tried to find out who it was by, but couldn’t find a track-listing for the DJ set anywhere, even when going to the host’s site, Birago Jones, that was mentioned at the end of the set. I tried googling the lyrics (“Sun in my eyes, the world at my feet, love’s in the music, the music’s in me…”) but all i found was the quote in someone’s sig in a Prince forum…

I turned to my brother for answers, who had heard it before and was able to identify it as “Myomi – Sun in My Eyes (Paul Woolford Remix)”. Hearing samples of the original and other versions of the song, I wasn’t very impressed, I should have just stuck to the version in the DJ set. I was interested to see if there was anything else by Myomi, but couldn’t find anything, there isn’t even an entry for them on Discogs.com. I do highly recommend the SAW Recordings Radio Podcast if you like this type of music, the majority of the entries are by Satoshi Tomiie, who is one of my favourite DJs. There unfortunately hasn’t been an update since the 2nd of July, but I’m hoping there will be soon.

It was a tight game today, lots of close calls on both sides, but luckily, only one goal was scored, and it was by us. AJ scored the goal, he was left unmarked when Billy took a corner, and AJ put it in the back of the net.

If we win next week’s game against Dudley, then we finish top of the table. If we draw, we will still be first unless Stockton beat Cooks Hill by 12 goals. If we lose, it’s likely that we will be third, unless there are a few upsets with the other games, in which case, we could still place better than third.

Coming into this game, we knew that it was an important match. Last week’s game was rained out, and is being replayed tomorrow (vs South Wallsend), so, being a game behind, we had a better idea of the results we needed to get into the finals. If we were to win both this weekend, we would definitely be in the finals, with next week’s game (the last game in the season) deciding whether we were first or second. If we were to lose both of the games this weekend, we wouldn’t make it into the finals at all. Drawing both games would make it very tight, depending on how the other teams go.

Yesterday I sent an email to WordPress Support about a minor bug that I found. After a fairly standard response to force a refresh and clear my cache and cookies, I replied again with some screenshots. I then got another email thanking me, telling me he would make a developer aware of it. Thanks Doug!

The bug occurrs in the Categories section when you are creating a new post. If you click on “All Categories” followed by “+ Add New Category” and then proceed to add a category with a Parent Category chosen, all the items that were previously in the list below are added to it again, making it about twice as long as it was previously (plus the one extra item).

I think I have found another bug related to the same section; if you edit a post that has a Category assigned, and this Category has a Parent Category, clicking on “All Categories” on the edit page does not show it’s assined Category in the tree view below it’s Parent Category. Sorry to be annoying, Doug!

I’m planning on making my own web site that users can enter what movies they have, along with the quality, and then mixed with a little bit of social networking, where a few friends are then able to see what their friends have, so that they can get a copy or borrow it from their friends. I also wanted to be able to link it to IMDb so that users could easily see movies that friends have, and then click a link to go to the IMDb page (and/or to retrieve and store some of this information on my server).

So, the user would log in, and click to add a movie, and then they would type the name or partial name into a box, and click search, and the site would display search results from IMDb, the user would click on a result, and it would automatically store the movie in the database if it isn’t there, along with the IMDb link and and other information that we might want.

So, I’ve had a few issues with my iPhone, but nothing that has made me unhappy with the device… And as I was writing the above, I got a call, and when the call ended (the other person hung up) it went back to the picture of them, with the “slide to unlock” screen. I then tried to “slide to unlock” but it wasnt working. I thought that the whole phone had frozen, but I saw the reception bars change. I pressed the home button again, and another “slide to unlock” came up over the top of the other one, and this time it worked. That was a bit strange.

When it happened, I thought that the same thing was happening as what happened to me the day I got it. I was on a call, and I received an SMS. When I was finished with the call, I tapped the “end call” button immediately followed by the “close” button for the SMS alert, and the phone froze with the call buttons grayed out as they do when you’re ending a call, and the SMS notification half way faded out. I then had to hard reset the phone, which took about a minute, but was annoying because I was waiting for another call.

I had a weird dream last night, Adrian and I went down to Canberra to visit a friend of mine, Gem. We were at a shopping centre and we were going to get some lunch from a cafeteria type place. We each paid and got a plate of stuff, and went to the next place to get some more of other foods. We gave them our plates to then point out we wanted them to dish up onto them, but there were a few people in front of us, so we were waiting in line. When it got to Gem’s turn to order, she ordered so much that I was standing around looking at it with disbelief. People were pushing in front of me because I had moved out of the line, so I hopped back in the line, but when I got to the counter again, my plate had gone.

I started to complain, but they wouldn’t listen, and I was telling them they had to give me another one for free, but they were trying to haggle with me for a price to pay for a new meal. I started to pretty much go psycho, yelling and knocking over the cups with the knives and forks in them, almost jumping over the counter… And then I woke up.

Hopefully I wouldn’t react like that in real life…

Finally feeling well enough to go back to work today, I got a few things done and went in to work at midday. I did some work on Miromaa while listening to music on my iPhone. It got pretty cold in the office when I’m normally pretty warm, but before I knew it, it was time to head home.

I managed to get a quick nap in before heading to Taekwondo. It wasn’t as cold as I thought it would have been in our gear, but in the hall, after 5 minutes of warming up, it didn’t feel cold at all. Unfortunately though, about 20 minutes later, there was a power blackout and we had to stop and go home. It wasn’t just the lights at the hall, but all the houses, street lights and traffic lights in the area. It was an interesting drive home with no traffic lights, but I managed to make it home alive. Soccer was rained out, so it ended up being a quiet night in.

A friend of mine, Michael, had a poker night tonight with Jess, Lambkin, Kylie, QN, John and myself. I had been to his place, in Shortland, before, but not in a while, so I brought it up on google maps on my iPhone before leaving. Following the map as I drove had not been a problem the last few times I did this, but as I got closer, the mobile internet must have lost it’s connection, so the maps stopped loading, then all of a sudden, the blue dot showing my GPS position was showing me in the middle of a gray and white checkered “field”. Not to worry though, I had been there before, and, just as I pulled up to park, I got my Internet connection back.

I got there a bit late, so the poker game was pretty much over, and then we started playing Pictionary, where the real fun (and arguments) began. However, I don’t think that there are many games of this particular genre that don’t invoke arguments between it’s competitors. After a few games, two leaving and another retiring to bed, the last of us had a few games of cards before calling it a night at around 2am.
