Really, visitors? Really? I don't get a lot of visitors, but is this *really* how random people I don't know come across this blog?

Touché, google...

In other news - henry-chong.com

Thats right

I have a proper site now - it runs on wordpress.com - it feels more "mature" :)  (M for Mature)

I find more and more that I use this blog for random random ramblings; stuff that really is more suited for twitter and is not really much longer than 150 characters. So expect updates to become even more infrequent on here (such as they are), and instead move to twitter / my new shiny web presence

Some other dude took henrychong.com. It's okay though, I grabbed henrychong.info

Anyway. That's that; I won't be closing this blog, cause it's like a time capsule almost. Trawl through old posts, I dare you. See the sort of drivel I used to (and probably still do) type out...

You don't understand where you are without knowing where you were!

Be bold be brave be amazing (lol only Arron will get this)

till next time, cats!

As cute as it is to find pawprints on the door handle and a cat sitting inside my car, all this long molty cat hair has pretty much made my day into a sneezing incomprehensible blur....

Watched Scott Pilgrim vs the world - awesome movie! I'm pretty sure the target audience was me, except the ending kind of ruins the whole film so just leave five minutes before the end and it'll be allll goood

Ikea is awesome. As angry as I was over the Mykea delivery debacle (and I feel a little sorry for the dude who arrived to deliver the stuff, it was just one guy against the world it seems...in a rental van...)

once i started unpackin and putting together some of the stuff we'd ordered...its so awesome....the apartment smells like mdf, i love it

ah....ikea......

On the surface, Mykea seems like a good idea.

But in *practice*, it's been nothing short of a massive fail. So not only are they about two months late with the order, with very minimal updates about what exactly happened, but now they give me a call on the day they expect to do the delivery, insisting that they can only deliver it either today or tomorrow; when I'm extremely busy both days and nobody will be around to accept the delivery.

So in terms of customer service...they are getting a massive FAIL.

Don't buy anything from them. Tell everyone you know; cause it's more trouble than its worth. (Ikea just open a store already!)

wow this is seriously...like I can't actually put in words how to explain what or why or....

just watch and read the description...

ffs i cant decide which i hate more, my sick body or my sick car, is there such a thing as ragesick

its not often you play a gig on a sunday when your old orthodontist is in the crowd and its his daughters birthday who you know through the guitarist and you are a little sick because you like cats but are allergic to them and have a weird rash thing on your face and your car wont start for some reason, thanks sonny and dennis for coming!

You know what all banks should let us do? HAve like a "virtual overdraft"

so thats where I can put in $100 or $200

and then its like emergency money, so if i ever DO have to go into "overdraft", it will take from that emergency money (and not charge overdraft feez)

omg new design

I was getting sick of the old design so I just mucked around with it. Pretty easy click and do-stuff with blogger. NICE. Also, I took off adsense, cause I have earned $0.01 since I had them on.

lolz! Who was I kidding anyway, hardly anyone reads this any more. I've been putting off actually making a professional, serious site with like a proper about me and this is what Ive done and this is what I am doing etc etc etc but after coming home from work i just dont feel like doing anything

i was going to shove my silly microsoft logos (ie LOOK I CAN DO SHAREPOINTZ) but I couldn't figure out where to put it so I haven't...yet.

also, FFXIV beta is being stink to me and timing out on the login :(

hope everything is good with everyone!

The worst part of a Sunday is around about 10pm, when you realise you are going to have to go to sleep soon, but in doing so the next thing you're going to have to do is go to work

If only we were all millionaires!

lol so according to Arron, the last two years of FFXIV's development have been solely to get the installer down to 114mb by zipping the zip files that have been zipped repeatedly in a zip cycle

and its someones job to use win zip. all day.

and also they wanted to release it on floppy disk but they thought they would release ffxiv now, and then ffxvii will come out years later on floppy disk.

...lulz :)

Ready for what, Microsoft??

Activision's Robert Kotick:

"We've heard that 60 percent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," Kotick told FT. "We don't really participate financially in that income stream. We would really like to be able to provide much more value to those millions of players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

What he really meant was:

"We've heard that 60 percent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," Kotick told FT. "We don't really get any money from that. We would really like to be able to get more millions from players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

Which is fair enough, Activision is a business, but it doesn't make him any less of a dick.

I discovered something absolutely amazing today.

The Christian Side Hug Rap video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Oj0-splZw)

Seriously, there are so many things that are just *wrong* with this video...

1) lame siren sounds

2) white talentless rappers

3) SIDE HUGS?! seriously?!! LOL!

4) do they realise they are rapping to the Imperial Death March???

i promise you, any rational person will not be able to stop laughing at it...

Atrocious songs!

I want to CRY

Found this aweeesome music discovery site called www.thesixtyone.com that marries my two great loves, music and video games :D   its like internet radio with rpg elements..totally totally awesome

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.

A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears.

Darling, have a heart,
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone. Turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,

Oh, please be there still in love with me.

AAAH SUCH A GOOD SONG (not actually lyrics.)
