I’ve never used FaceBook, but I know I hate it. Here’s a song to tell me I’m right.

This is a big problem as they are visible in Firefox if you use php’s include() function and if you have some code that must be at the very top of a page they will be there first. You can’t even see them in the likes of notepad!

But now Expression Web 2’s Beta is out and you can choose to include them or not;

Enjoy all the wonder of the splend-diferius software without the hassle of pursuing BOMs.

SO HAPPY!!!

I’ve just found a great new word!

Filed under: Personal — Ryan @ 9:23 pm

Rather than me saying I’m bi and then having to gauge if the person is intelligent enough to handle the fact that I say I’m because everyone knows what that means but in reality I’m attracted to people regardless of gender, I now can just use Pansexual.

It’s brilliant. It sums up everything.

Apparently, omnisexual is also used, and anyone who watches Dr. Who or Torchwood knows that Captain Jack is described in the same way, so you know what that means, I’m future-proof. *nerd*

Anyway, it’s a brilliant little word I wanted to share with you all. Yeh, LGBTP!

Homosexuality isn’t evil but…

Filed under: Personal — Ryan @ 8:47 pm

…straight crushes are.

It’s not fair, why am I so screwed-up (yes I’m back to using blogging to whine about my life). Ok so for the longest time I thought I was straight, no surprising as I found members of the opposite gender sexually attractive and have had many a crush (typically on female friends [this point will be important later]) but of course that day came when I felt a certain something for someone of the same gender (also a friend, see where I’m going with this).

I know what you’re thinking, there’s an oblivious answer to this, hang myself, I mean, get gay friends. But seeing as my straight female friends won’t touch me and I don’t know any gay guys with the qualities that attract me to guys in the first place (I find men attractive because they’re manly [and women for their feminine qualities]).

So collectively all this messed-up-ness results in me having rather big crushes on straight male friends. Is there a way of preventing this?

Also add to all this that at least when I was young I had really bad taste in friends, not that I had much selection, so at least I dodged a few bullets, but now through a well developed personality filtration system with strict rules I now have great friends (commence patting yourself on the back all you who have survived this far).

*sigh*

Hopefully I’ll come up with a good way to deal with multiple copies of the same book.
At the moment the best idea is to change the ISBN as you add it.
