What a frustrating 5 months. I had made a website called www.thinkingproducitivty.co.uk about 5 months ago thinking that Google will be lapping up the content like a cat who has no concept of being full, alas, I was wrong.

After 5 months of no Google indexing, I realised there was a problem. It took all my courage to a post on the Wordpress site with such an embarassing issue.

I got some great responses and I truly thank the users for helping me out:

One of them suggested it might be a server issue. I contacted one.com to see if there was any problems with the servers that might be blocking Google index from my Wordpress website. The customer service guy “Eduard” responded within about 10 seconds with “check your .htaccess file”…

I simply removed the lines above

And literally facepalmed myself, not palmed... That would be very weird? no?.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

I remember the good old days of Diablo 2. Once I got the multiplayer working through Blizzard’s Battle.net, I remember spending hours upon hours defeating the powers of darkness with online friends and parties. I naturally chose Barbarian, double wielded double hard bastard with my Azurewrath Phase Blade. So I have to admit, I am extremely excited about the release of the new Diablo 3 PC game.

I remember the rumors of it being released 2009 October Halloween exciting me to the extent of writing faggy little emails to my friends asking what race they would be. Anyhow, Diablo 3 expected release date UK got delayed again and I say “bravo!”. If they spend as much time making it as I will spend playing it, it can’t be a bad thing. Blizzard, good on you for perfecting a game before it’s released. This will do you good. Just make sure the buzz is still going before it’s released!

Let’s hope that WOW updates finally cease to exist and they start working on new and exciting projects like StarCraft 2!

Can’t wait!

After the hype of Skate 3 and all of its new features, I naturally ordered a copy as soon as it came out and made plans for a good old gaming session with my friends.

I booted Skate 3 up on the PS3 and enjoyed the cinematic movie. Fantastic and as funny as usual.

The layout of the interface was a little different so I struggled to find the multiplayer options for party play and decided to start a career instead, leaving the party play for when my friends came.

That evening, I was running on caffeine; totally excited about the evening, I decided I’d get the party play mode for Skate 3 prepared.

“Where is it, where is it. Must be here somewhere!”. I read through the instructions… Nothing?

I Googled it.

I cried.

Skate 3 has no party play mode. Why the hell would they have taken one of the greatest elements of Skate 3, out of Skate 3. It makes little to no sense. I demand an explanation from EA themselves for this stupid decision.

We want Skate 3 offline party play mode and we want it now!

Comments etc…

Who is James?

I am 21 years of age (subject to change), I love art to its nth degree and creating pictures, music and poetry that reflect my eratic weirdness

How long have you been doing artistic thingies?

When I was a little kid, I use to draw cartoons of video game characters like Super Mario and Banjo Kazooie with my best friend in school, rather than doing actual work… My family always had an artistic flair too so I guess that helped me to be interested or submerged into the world of art.

Do you use predictive text?

Yes, I do.

How often do you send Text Messages?

Random question. Probably once in a full moon *shrugs*

Where do you continue to get motivation from?

I get a lot of inspiration from the world around me. Turmoil, love… you know, the usual. A lot of it gets right on my nerves so I decide to ramble about it in a poem or song.

What does James do?

I work for a web application development company and enjoy my work as it gives me the freedom to be creative in many ways that I would not usually have time for at home.

Why is James on the web?

I see it as a great way to communicate to the individuals. I like to think that some really bummed out guy finds my website and can associate his emotions with the kind I express in a lot of my poetry and songs.

What does James get up to?

I love skateboarding, oh boy do I love skateboarding. For a long time I would go pretty much every other day, but now I’m all busy and what not, so now I try and skateboard once every other week with my cousin. We genuinely have a good laugh and it’s a real release for me… sexually… Nah just kidding.

Favourite movie?

Gosh, I guess it would be a fight between Apocalpyse now and Pulp Fiction. I will probably regret choosing these but at the moment, they are big in my head.

Favourite singer?

I have a few but John Frusciante is definetly up there.

Well thanks James Trusler for spending the time with me today, have a great life.

Goodness me, Radio 1 is already the most annoying station in existance, so when I heard Chris Moyles latest addition to the World Cup plethora of songs – ‘World Cup Song’, I was not surprised.

I wonder if Chris Moyles can beat a world record for killing people through music.

You can listen to it here, but beware, it’s fucking annoying. The song grinds on you more than a grinder, grinding things. It’s so intensly frustrating! *rips hair out*.
