I’ve long since wanted to update this site, but I’ve been swept up with life. Re-designing websites has also become something of a bugbear for me since I’ve fallen behind the web-design curve. It’s hard to express the frustration felt when I have dramatic visual ideas and yet no ability to code them anymore. I do miss the halcyon days of plain old HTML, even if nobody else does.

In the meantime I have scared off my readership by not posting anything.

Well, ‘if you build it..’, and all that.

KENT UNI HAS A FIREWALL THAT WOULD MAKE THE CHINESE BLUSH. I am at Uni, though, and apparently Blogger works.

This isn’t an LJ, so I’ll spare you the biographical, save to say it’s been ace; I’ve never laughed as hard as I have tonight, playing Cheat, possibly the worst (or greatest) game to play when you’re not sober. Tomorrow is free from lectures, thank god.

Normal littleeye reportage may or may not resume coverage shortly. Actually, you may not see too many posts on here in the future, since I’ll be spending most of my time feigning education.

Greetings.

My site has been down for a few days because the hard drives at my host went through an emotional crisis (partitions spontaneously combusted), so all the data was lost. Luckily I have offline copies of everything so there’s no permanent damage (although I can’t quite restore all the crap that was in my /temp folder. Probably a boon.)

My web-related plight obviously pales in comparison to what happened and is happening over in New Orleans. The immediacy of the media and the internet in covering the event (in stark contrast the governmental response..) does emphasise how fundamentally disconnected the world community is, despite supposed globalisation. But nobody is powerless to help. Personally I donated to the SomethingAwful Red Cross fund via Paypal, since SA is itself affected by the hurricane/floods - administrator extraordinaire radium has been keeping us afloat (somewhat literally) but no doubt it’ll soon be time to get the fuck out of Dodge.

The last I heard PayPal had still locked Rich Kyanka (Lowtax) out of his account, and some $20,000+ was left in limbo (probably thanks to various trolls sending fake complaints their way). Many have Paypal themselves and they said that all the money would either be returned or the account would be reinstated and the money could be sent to Red Cross. They’re a total joke.
