Can't believe I forgot this
In all the excitement (and due to all the booze) I forgot that I’d seen a shooting when walking around in London in the early hours of Sunday morning. Don’t worry though it was just with a water pistol.

Check out this theme park in Alexandria, Egypt. Something tells me that it might be closed.

Narrow escape
After some recent problems my web host has decided to retire the server on which this site was hosted. I therefore received an e-mail this morning informing me of the changes, I logged into my account and check all my sites and everything seemed fine. That was until tonight where I realised that my blog had been returned to the state it was on Friday. This was no good because I’d written a rather large entry yesterday and had had a comment on it.
No problem I thought I have backups made every night so I’d just use one of those, so I tried running the sql file in phpMyAdmin, this didn’t work though since the database already existed. There was only one thing for it, I’d have to delete the current live database and run the backup sql file. I came across a bit of a problem, having deleted the database the backup sql wouldn’t run because it was unable to create the database from within phpMyAdmin, and then when I created the database on cPanel it couldn’t run since the database already existed. This was not a good position to be in. Luckily I’d done a full home directory backup today so was able to use the sql backup file which this generated.
So what is the point of this post, well its basically a reminder to myself to actually look into finding out a fool proof way to restore my backups, its all very well taking periodic backups, but with no means of restoring them their not much good.
OK Go
A mate just sent these links to these videos, you’ve probably seen them before, but they are good:
Back from the big smoke
Well I’ve just got back from my weekend in London and it was ace, to be honest I didn’t want to come back. But as the saying goes all good things must come to an end. So after having in nice meal in one of the poshest cafes ever it was time to board my train and come back up north (to the rain).
Friday
I arrived at Jamie’s place at around 10.30pm to discover he and Tim had already gone out without me (the cheek of it), so a quick phone call later and they came back and let me in to drop my stuff off. It wasn’t without its hassles though since they’d managed to shut the door with the latch on meaning that they couldn’t open it from the outside, luckily Tim was sober enough still to climb up through the bathroom window to gain entry (burglars please note that the house is usually much more secure than this so don’t think that you’ll be able to gain access so easily!)
Once I’d dropped my stuff off we went out in Clapham for a few beers and the obligatory curry which was excellent. There’s not much I can say about Friday, other that it was nice, Clapham has a nice buzz about it, with lots of nice bars and places to eat. A good night was had with just the correct amount of beer to make sleeping on a sofa bearable.

Going to London tonight, nuff said.
