BIG Changes ahead!
Been a while since I last posted something on here. There's a reason for that - and for once it's not because I've been lazy. No, infact it's because I've been very busy.
I'm still nowhere in terms of getting past unemployment, but there is something that I've been working on. I used to have a website over at bdtek.com but it kind of went down. It kind of wasn't really much of a website either. To be honest, it was pretty naff. Okay, you couldn't get much naffer. The worst thing about it was that there was no content on it at all, no purpose, no nothing, although it did (and still does) have an email system.
So I'm revamping it. It will be home to this blog, the email system and maybe a couple of other things, I'm not sure yet because I haven't thought that far ahead. The site design is being shared with another site - http://osx.portraitofakite.com (the home of Chris Kite's 'FlyakiteOSX' software). The two of us have been working together on bringing you a completely new and innovative website interface. I'm not going to reveal too many details until launch, but both sites will be themed to look like the upcoming Apple Macintosh Operating System, Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger". There's even going to be a music player for broadband users - and if you're a musician or band then we may even feature your music on there!
We've spent hours every night for over a week now, slaving away over more html, javascript and php code than I ever have done and ever really want to. As of writing, the FlyakiteOSX website is almost complete. We're mainly fixing some bugs that are showing up and then we need to fill in some content and then it'll be finished and then ported over to BDTek.com where we will then re-write it for this site too. I'm hoping that the whole process will take less than a week from now.

We've got less than 3 weeks till our performance of Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse. It's being directed by Simon Wain and I've been cast as Willie Mossop.

I feel like I'm starting to get stereotyped in these shows. When I first joined The Players in 'Allo Allo' I was working backstage with a small onstage part as a blow up doll. A couple of performances later in 'Fur Coat & No Knickers' they managed to use a real blow-up doll instead of me - but I did have to open Act 2 in my underwear. That, and an incredibly tight pair of 70's-style flares apparently started off some discussions and debates which I'm kinda glad I never heard first-hand. In 'Hobson's Choice', I don't exactly get down to my underwear but I do end up getting changed on-stage.
I've just started rehearsals for another show called 'Pharoah to Freedom' which I've been asked to help produce aswell as star in (as both Moses and Jesus). And it's happened again! Only this time I'll be wearing less than ever - I'm down to nothing but a loincloth.
Anyway, I've got to get back to working on the new website(s) so in the meantime, you can play around with this hilarious website:
http://www.pornolize.com
It's "safe for work" but I do caution that it does contain some very strong language.
If you're after some ideas for websites to translate with it, then try these;

Synopsis
A classic Lancashire comedy set in the 1880s. Henry Horatio Hobson, a widower and boot shop proprietor is much incensed at the "general increase in uppishness" amongst his three daughters. His eldest daughter, Maggie, being also incensed by being told she is too old to marry, retaliates by marrying the boot-hand Willie Mossop. Henry's other two daughters, Alice and Vickey, are also awaiting marriage to two fine young men, but Henry vetoes this when he learns that there will be "settlements".
