02/05/2007 @ 2:55pm - Cutenews Sucks + Q*Bee Egg Hunt

Category: Website, Other
Yes, Cutenews is complete shit. I had to disable all comments in order to stop the blimmin' spam I was getting. I know I'm not the only one experiencing this. It's sucks on a grand scale!

As a result, I am contemplating installing Wordpress. I used to have it installed but got frustrated with it because I couldn't intergrate it seemlessly with my layout, as I didn't want to convert all my pages to WP, only the blog part. I also strongly dislike having the blog in an iFrame, which is what one has to do in order to intergrate it (or that is what I had to do back then).

If anyone knows how I can seemlessly intergrate WP into my layout, without the use of an iFrame, I will love you for ever and ever and ever. Amen. F-O-R-E-V-E-R.

It's all so bloody complicated and I don't know if I can be bothered with it any time soon, but I desperately want to get it sorted.
In the time since I switched from manually adding updates to switching to a blogging programme, I have yet to find one that actually does what I want it to do. I've built my own using a tutorial, used WP and now Cutenews, but still have not found one that works great for me and my site.

mad

In other news, the Quilting Bee Spring Egg Hunt is over (well, the part where we had to find eggs is over). I collected 164 out of 319.
Anyway, I was hiding four eggs on my site, but they've been taken down now.
I hope everyone that participated had alot of fun. I know I did yes

Category: Website
I keep getting spam in my Cutenews comments, so I'm making it so you can't comment unless you're resistered. No one is registered and I'm keeping it that way because this is only a TEMPORARY solution until I get home and can do something about it properly.

If you have anything to say, leave a tag or email :)

06/04/2007 @ 8:12pm - Minor Updates, The Mars Volta and Stuff

Category: Website, Personal, Other
It's been awhile, I guess. Haven't had much inclination to potter with this place as of late.

I updated a few minor things in the 'Me' section, including adding some pics to the Basics.

Mostly last month and this month I've been obsessing over The Mars Volta, a.k.a The Best Band In The World Ever And You Better Believe It Or I'll Cut You If You Don't.

happy

Ahem. Yes, so, between obsessing over them (and perving at the singer/lyricist Cedric Bixler-Zavala) I haven't been doing much. I've become unmotivated, which is because of said obsessing. It happens, you see.

Going away on Sunday until the 22nd. Lucky me yes Will be enjoying my time away, probably will procrastinate and miss the Internet far too much.

Oh and by the way, the concert I went to last month was good. Not mind-blowingly awesome, but definitely worth it.

So, that's it for now tongue

P.S, updated my Radio Blog!

Category: Personal
Not much happening right now. Haven't done anything to the site. Boring, boring!

Tomorrow I'm going away to Auckland for the weekend because I have a concert to go to on Saturday. It's the Rock Star Supernova one. Hopefully it'll be good!
I have to say though, I would trade all my limbs to have been able to see The Mars Volta in Auckland on the 11th of this month. God, that would have made my year! Or made all the years until I could see them next.

Oh well, shit happens. I'll see them next time yes

I just completed my 40 Hour Famine (I had to do it later than I originally planned, due to going away last weekend unexpectedly). It was pretty easy, really. I craved certain foods because I couldn't have any food, but the hunger wasn't bad at all.

Tis all for now!

06/03/2007 @ 3:49pm - Looking For 40 Hour Famine Sponsors!

Category: Personal
I'm doing the World Vision 40 Hour Famine this year and I need sponsors. I would appreciate it so much if you are able to sponsor me, but if you can't then it's okay. I understand that not everyone has the spare money to do so (or a credit card)!
If you're interested in sponsoring me then keep reading to find out about the 40 Hour Famine, where your money goes and how you can sponsor me.

I'm going to be doing my famine on the official weekend, which is March 16-18. My famine is the No Food one (I can only eat a couple of Barley Sugars at meal and snack times and drink juice and water), but other people are choosing to give up something else, like technology or housing.

My Goal
I'm hoping to raise at least $200, so everyone I ask would need to donate about $10 for me to reach that goal. Obviously you can donate more or less if you like (more would be awesome but I promise I wont hate you if it's less, hehe).

Where Does The Money Go?
World Vision are committed to sending as much as possible directly to the children in need. 75% of the funds will go straight to the World Vision projects in developing countries to give assistance to children and their families. The other 25% is used to cover fundraising costs.

What Your Money Can Do
$8 provides a 'miracle tree' (vitamin rich plant) for a community garden for orphans in Malawi.
$11 provides cups and bowls for five children in feeding programmes in Malawi.
$15 provides hand tools for a household to plant crops and feed themselves in Vanuatu.
$20 provides a child in Afghanistan with school supplies for a year.
$32 pays for a stove in a home in Honduras to enable a family to cook their food safely.
$40 covers the cost of immunising a child in Afghanistan for a year.
$43 pays for the fertiliser needed to grow crops in an eco-garden in Niger.
$75 provides clothes for 20 children in Malawi.
$150 releases a child from bonded labour in India.
$180 provides a teachers salary for a month in a home-based school in Afghanistan.
$321 pays for the construction of a classroom for students in Niger.
$400 provides the bricks needed to build a new home, protected from the chinche beetle, for a family in Honduras.

How You Can Sponsor Me
To sponsor me online go to my Online Famine Book here: http://secure.famine.org.nz/purple_ivy
You can pay by Visa, MasterCard or Amex and people in countries other than New Zealand can sponsor me easier this way.

All currency is in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Here is a quick currency converter to help you if you need it http://www.forexcenter.net/currency.aspx

Thanks for reading this whole post and I hope you decide to sponsor me and help out some kids in need (and make me feel good for raising money :P)!
