world wide web

having a run of good chess wins over on gameknot... peppered here and there with some losses, of course now that i've said that i'm doomed...

no work today (friday) after more work in two days than i'd done in a month, stayed in bed a fair bit...

i also spent way too long on the internet, i discovered a few kookie things here and there, for example, what so should be a tribute to me but isn't (click on zoom in, but beware of pumping techno) - repent ur sins to longcat, (their spelling)...

being just one expression of the LongCat meme:

A picture of a white cat being held up so as to stand on its back feet, showing off its unusually long body. LongCat became a fairly popular meme on /b/, and predictably has been Photoshopped to hell and back by /b/tards.

just what /b/ is i don't know and may never know, thankyou to these kindly people for the explanation... 4chan...?

and then i saw this which i'd completely forgotten about, in fact never knew about, they've changed their name, used to be audioscrobbler, (which in fairness is a rubbish name)... a community i joined back in march that logs what music i listen to, or at least the music that itunes on this PC plays, not the whole of my listening, cd's, my shuffle, even the occasional vinyl record make up more of the picture, not to mention live music, and accidental overheard music...

so if someone were to be looking at that last link right now they'd see that i'm listening to chet baker, a lovely album called grey december which starts with a few sung numbers then the bulk of it is made up of trumpet tunes... which are growing on me, i used to only be interested in his voice, vulnerable like my own voice, the instrumental tunes on this album remind me of miles's birth of the cool which makes sense of course because in the 50's he was in the cool school, some nice pictures of him over on that link under his name, from 50's poster boy to 80's ragged junkie...

and lastly i recieved an email around midnight saying:

Dear tibbsy,

As of this morning your website is 100% full. You are using all of your site quota of 30720 KBytes.

(tibbsy being another name for balthazara)

an email i've had every night since i filled up my webspace with whatever nonsense i've filled it with, (my mp3's or my videos as linked to from the side there) on the 9th of may, (just before felinity's 25th birthday)

there is something comforting about this nightly email... i've since found other webspace which i'm in the process of filling and i could remove a kilobyte or two from this one but i like recieving my gentle reminder, also i like that i filled it up so exactly, to the kilobyte...

ok, a bath... then my bed, too much world wide web for now (or maybe just enough)
