Zero Atoms

So recently it has come to my attention that I use my mobile phone A LOT, but it can’t be helped. I have been on a plan that gives me unlimited sms, mms, internet and IM’s for free but does not include calls, I have to pay extra for calls but each minute costs a fortune.

Well lately I’ve been having to call people and if I keep it up it will cots a tonne of money. So I decided to buy a pre-paid phone to use for just calls so that I know how much I’m spending on calls and can’t go over my price limit.

The reason I’m not switching to a pre-paid and scrapping the plan is because I got the bill today and it said that I used over 1,000 dollars worth of texts in one month, which I don’t have to pay for, thank god, I only have to pay the set plan price because it’s free for texts. With the new one, I can get a 30 Turbo Recharge and get 300 dollars worth of credit with it.

So anyway, the phone I bought is a Nokia 5233 Colored Black, it’s touch screen and is easy to use. There is a picture of it below.

It cost 200 dollars with a Sim card. Now I wont have to worry about unexpected bills with insanely large prices on it anymore.

Me and Dad just had a fist fight. He started swearing at me and I told him to calm down, then he swore at me more so I told him to f**k off, he then punched me in the head, screaming and calling me every foul name under the sun.

We grappled for a while, he started chocking me but I managed to get him into a head-lock and was well and truly able to punch him in the head several times (he wouldn’t have been able to fight back), but before I did, he called “Truce” because he knew he would have been f***ed. I had ample opportunity to hit him but I am not like that, I’m not an asshole.

It was such a dog move with a cowardly finish, I ended up with a few cuts on my face, that’s about all (probably from his wrist watch, I hope it’s broken). His punch did nothing except piss me off and elevate my epinephrine (adrenaline) levels because his punch was piss weak, my little sister could have hit harder than that (seriously, I know because she has punched me before).

He is a real asshole, while this was happening I heard my little sister crying and begging dad to stop it, most of the reason I didn’t hit him was because I didn’t want to upset my sister any further, she was already having a panic attack, it took her ages to calm down, I felt sorry for her, she shouldn’t have to see something like that.

This was the first time it got this bad, mainly because I was fed up with his abusive attitude towards me, I’m not going to stand idly by while someone swears at me, he’s been doing it all my life because I wasn’t strong enough to take him on and he knew that. Hopefully this will teach him that I’m not a kid anymore and he can’t be a cowardly bully anymore.

Well I recently lost my job at the service station where I worked at because I was hanging around work after my shift talking to my friend who was working the shift after me, which was a total load of horse shit since she was still able to complete her tasks and serve customers while I was there.

I speculate that they only sacked me because my friend had quit that morning and they were looking for someone to take it out on and I was the person she’s closest with that worked down there. But I don’t care really, it will give me a chance to find a better job.

Anyway, since they sacked me, I have got back into making PHP scripts from my old “Coding days”, don’t ask me why I’m back into coding because I have no-idea. For some reason, the night they sacked me, I had this sudden urge to finish my upload script that I started making before I got the job there. The ‘coding-block’ that I had back then was no-longer there and I was able to work out what was wrong with the code last time.

So I finished the code and added it as a new feature to my other site (Animation Shed). The feature is called Storage Shed (pretty cool name right?). It allows you to upload and share any files that relate to animation, art or flash for free.

Once I had done that, I was messing with the test site that I used when I was making the code and suddenly felt like making it look nice, so I learned how to use CSS and went for it, the result actually turned out much better than I expected (See image bellow).

Click the image to go to the test site where you can test it out. Just don’t use it for anything as it might not be staying there.

I’m pretty happy now that I’ve finally got the hang of CSS, for some reason, PHP just clicked to me but CSS was over my head even though CSS is meant to be easier..

Anyway, that’s about all I have to say today. See ya next time.

Hey, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here hasn’t it?!

I’m sorry about that, I haven’t really had any time to sit down and write about my life recently.. So I thought I would update you a bit on what’s been happening. So this will be a giant post where I will try to tell you everything important that has happened since my last blog.

Guest Posting

Well recently you may have noticed that there is a new guy (FM_Tim) posting on the front page instead of me. Well I’m not out of the picture or anything if that’s what you’re thinking, he is going to be writing along-side of me and help keep this place active.

If you would like to do this too, all you have to do is get in-touch with me via the Contact page, Twitter or Facebook and let me know.

Gaming

Well I recently got a bit back into gaming again since I finally got Xbox Live working again, I went out to celebrate the fact that I can now play online again by buying Blur and 1500 MS points to get the new CoD maps.

When I bought blur, I stayed over at my uncles place and we stayed up racing Blur for ages and watched a movie (The Law Abiding Citizen). The games we had were really close. But naturally, I won the tie-breakers.

I have already tested out a few of the CoD maps but I haven’t played much since our internet is being really slow. And we’re not capped because we’re past the date when we should get our download limit back.

My Site

Well I recently updated the look of my other site and it now looks a hell of a lot better than it used to and it has a more cartoony feel to it which is what it needs since the name of the site is Animation Shed.

I’m also posting things there quite regularly now. It’s at least twice a week. I wish I could say the same about this place, I’m really sorry, it’s just that the posts I make here are very well thought-out and take ages to write and think up.

Well that’s about all I want to talk about.. Oh, btw, my gearbox is still f**ed, I haven’t got the new one put in yet.

Ok, bye.

So tonight my parents and my sister all went to the club for the raffles. The theme for the raffles was “Movies”. I didn’t go because I don’t like raffles, plus my parents do better without me there in my opinion.

Anyway, when they came home they were very excited, and with good reason. They had won a shit-load of stuff, I’d be surprised if anyone else walked out of there with anything at all!

The stuff they one was:

• 6 DVDs (2 of them being bundle’s, one of them had 4 movies in it)
• A couple of Movie Tickets
• 3 Gift Cards to a local movie rental place
• And a 48cm HD LCD Flat Screen TV with a built in DVD player!

The TV was given to my sister because she was in need of a new one because her old one was a SD 30cm TV, which was a piece of crap really..

So I’d say they did pretty well, you know, they could have done better >_>

In other news:

My Xbox Live subscription has ran out and I’m forced to play single player.. *shutters*. Hopefully I will get it back up soon but I need to focus on my car for a while, so I’m afraid most of my money will be going towards my car (what’s new?).

Also, I am going to push myself to update both the main page of Zero Atoms (this site) and Animation Shed more frequently. For Zero Atoms, I try to update it at least once a week, but hopefully twice a week. For Animation Shed, I will try to update it at least three times a week.
