Stumbled onto this site here..

I found these photos at this website HERE and and they're from Iraq and although some of them are a little gory its interesting to see more real life pics from the war zone. Yeah i know Bush said there isnt a war but c'mon we know the truth right? hahaha!!! Oh please take note that i didnt take these photos and just added a couple here so you could see the sort of photos at this site. Please give credit where its deserved okay? :-)

Still here hahaha!!!

Im still here hahaha!!! i just dropped onto a site that encrypts folders so they cant be opened or decrypted without a password etc. The site is cypherix and its a free download too. I'll install it i think to stop the secretaries from deleting my stuff from the lab computers lol. I'll just set it up okay?

Well one reboot later and its looking good. i removed all shortcuts to it and it cant be uninstalled either hahaha. Encryption is a breeze too really fast and appears in windows explorer as a removable drive but with the program unloaded its impossible to see where the files are stored and stuff. Should stop them deleting mine and Robertas stuff too :-)

Anyway best go and finally get something done here while i have the chance :-)

Its like a fucking oven here today!!!

Man its fucking hot here at the moment, i was vomiting all night last night after failing to get cool here. My stomach still feels a little wierd today but at least i can eat something now. I always get like this at this time of the year when it really starts to warm up. I thought i would have gotten used to it by now but still it happens lol. Maybe i should just sit in the fridge hahaha!!

Anyway added a cute little weather pixie thing to my site just so people could see the weather here where i live. Its collecting the info from Brasilia not too far from my city so its pretty acurate as to the weather here in Planaltina. It just takes a sec to setup and add one to the site. Roberta picked the cute pixie because she loves cats hahaha!!

Ive been listening alot to internet radio the last few days, especially WolfFm which plays alot of music from the 70's and 80's. Funny how many people love to listen to music from this period of time. I think its because then we had real music and not this spears super remixed crap that we have to suffer now. I guess thats why i love rock music alot as its full of life and not crap. Here in Brasil though they also have this computerized crappy music, looking at singers like Kelly (false breasts) Keys and the other bimbo singers they have here too. If they opened up the music market more here i think Brasilian music would be wiped out by the american stuff within a few years. Man you only have to here áxe music to see how bad things are here hahaha!!!

Well better go get something done here, like pouring myself a cold glass of coca cola and get ready for my classes :-)..

Dont you just hate working with childish people??

God i hate working with people with minds like children. After having an argument with one of the secretaries here i find that my files i created yesterday on the computer have been deleted. Yeah i know.. But there are many programs installed on the computers that dont show up in the inventory or add/remove programs lists and i undeleted them and was suprised at just what sort of things have been created and deleted on this computer. Looks like i'll have to start hiding my stuff on the computer or encrypting the files so they cant be found. Tatiane, you really need to grow up, i cant believe i saved this womans arse after she went home one night and left the windows to the school lab wide open and i blew the credit on my phone ringing her to save her fat arse :-(. Still i know what to do next time, i'll just let them fire her instead, it might be a useful learning experience for her right?

Not to worry though as i have recovered all of my files and they are safely hidden away now :-)

I have some stuff to plant this afternoon, flowers and plants that Roberta brought from her farm for me, herbs and stuff and a cacti for inside my house too :-). When it stops raining here ill get out there and plant them just to give a bit of color to the veranda at the back of my house :-)

Okay.. off to check email and then get mt gardening gloves on hahaha!!!!

Trying to sign up..

I'm trying to make an online subscription for Roberta and her brother here for a concurso but the website is overloaded and i cant get the pages to load so we can sign up for it :-(. Today is the last day and we have been trying since last week, maybe the people who designed the site underestimated the amount of people who would use it. I'll keep trying on and off throughout the day.

As you can see the keyboard on this computer doesnt have any problems so i can finally post hahaha!!! Its still quite hot here but i think that later on we are going to have some rain as its gone really cloudy and started to get a little windy which is always a sure sign that we are going to get some sort of rain. Its good for me though as it will water my flowers in the garden and the seeds that i will plant later this afternoon if i can find the time. Robertas mum has some plants for me too but i will probably pick them up saturday when we all go to the farm, i like to go there at the weekends as its really relaxing and calm. The buses are a bit of a pain though as they arent very often on time lol

That site still isnt loading yet. I dont think they will get to sign up today and will have to wait until next time around. Oh i have to remember to do some photocopies for Roberta too, some stuff about punctuation that i found in a book from MEC :-). I'll make a couple of copies so that i have a spare one for me too as getting the book is sometimes such a pain in the arse. I have some other stuff i wanna do for her as well, words that get mistaken for others etc. Roberta loves english :-) I have some other stuff from conversation that i wanna prepare too, i have to push some of the students now to get them to come to conversation class so they can practice their english. Some of them are a bit lazy to come though or just wanna learn english in the 3hrs they have in class which i keep telling them isnt possible.. but they never listen lol. I cant make them learn if they dont wanna though right? :-)

Well now the site keeps telling me that i am taking to long to sign up and sending me back the the beginning all over again. Man the designer of that site really did a bad job on it. Probably paid him just a few reais to get it done :-(

Anyways i had better go get those other things all done while i have some free time :-)

Tour firm blamed for wayward wife - Can u believe this? hahaha!!!

A middle-aged tourist has found someone to blame for his wife running off with a barman in Turkey - his holiday company.

The unusual complaint was made about Tapestry Holidays, it was revealed in the Travel Weekly publication.

Roger Mallock, the manager of Bath Travel in Chichester, West Sussex, said the husband had come in to complain two weeks ago.

Mr Mallock went on: 'I told him I was sorry and that our clients had always had good holidays with Tapestry, so I was keen to find out what hadn't come up to scratch.'

The customer replied that his wife had gone off with the local barman.

Mr Mallock said: 'One of my staff hid her face and started to chuckle, but he was absolutely deadpan about it.'

The slighted husband, whose name was not disclosed, said he had sent a letter of complaint to Tapestry Holidays but the company said it had not received it.

It is understood the wife ran off with the barman for two days but returned to the UK on the flight with her husband.

Now the husband is planning his next holiday - with another woman
