Hotmail blows.

So they have decided that for 'security' reasons I can no longer seamlessly integrate with Outlook. Last week they disabled my Outlook support and made me log in through a browser and do this little "type in the letters you see in the picture" test. This was a mere annoyance to me, I could have forgiven this and see how it may be necessary. However, once you have done this you have to download all your mail to outlook again. Which in my case puts in into the hundreds. How is this not the most stupid thing they could have thought of.

So while this really annoyed me. I thought I would let them off. After all I've been using hotmail for years now and although I never liked the online side, it has always been fine through Outlook. Then this week I get the same message from them telling me that I have to do the 'security check' again. Now it's starting to become an annoyance. Once I have completed this for the second time I then have to download all my mail. . AGAIN!!!

This is starting to border on the ridiculous for me now. The whole point of using Outlook is that I don't have to go through a brower and log in every time. So while this has got my back up I get an e-mail from Hotmail saying how they are no longer supporting Outlook for new accounts.

Well, if that isn't the sound of warning bells I don't know what it. So instead of putting up with their ridiculous security check every week, and instead of having to download my mail every week ( which Completely destroys the point of using Outlook in the first place ) I am simply ditching Hotmail.

Hotmail is dead, long live Gmail.

Make time go faster.

Plans are coming together nicely. I pick me tickets up this week and then all I have to do is buy any toys I want to take with me. My accommodation is all sorted, they are looking forward to meeting me at the camp. I have been told to take a protein shake with me and my favourite supplement so it looks like all that time trying to put weight on might finally come to some use.

I'm working a lot. This is why I'm not posting. You don't want to hear about my work everyday. Remember, I leave in April. I'm trying to work every day I can until then. I've managed to scam my way into working every day this week. I keep on working out how much I earn in a day in Thai Baht, it is little things like this, that keep my going!

I also discovered my new favourite music track today. It makes me want to jump around waving my arms in the air in the most stupid way I can think of. I'm going to play it sooo much at work to keep me in the holiday mood.

Single digit weeks left.

So. . . painfully . . . close.

I'm doin it.

Yup, that's right. I booked my tickets today. I finally have something to look forward to. My decision is made, the flights have my name on them. April is the month, the 20th is the date. Put it in your diaries.

For on that date, I will be taking my merry self over to Thailand. You heard me right people, I'm off to Thailand. How long for you ask, well about six months actually. Oh yeah, six glorious months of Thai sun, sea, shin splints and getting the shit kicked out of me.

Yup, you heard me right again. I'm going to spend the majority of the time getting the shit kicked out of me. No no, not because I'm planning on keeping the English tradition alive of sullying others cultures by getting drunk and insulting, but because I'm going to be spending my time living at a Thai Boxing camp.

Again, you were not misled. I'm going to Thailand for six months to train in Thai Boxing. I'm staying at a boxing camp and by the time I get back I should be in the shape of my life.

I am truly excited with equal portions of fear thrown in for good measure.

Keep on checking back. Wardys got something to write about again!

Sloppy writing killed the cat.

There is an advert on at the mo for a cat sanctuary that says ?remember, for every cat we take in, there are two others in need of help.?
By my logic this means that if I game them money I would be making the situation worse. So instead of that, I?m going to actively make two cats homeless, thus securing a place at the sanctuary for one lucky moggy.

Say goodbye to hair.

There is no reason, not to play this.
