Smash the bottle in to the computer, hoist up the cd drive and ahoy – we’re away. My first ever blog message on my first ever blogger on my first ever truly external webserver. I chose movable type as my blog software because

it seemed popular, was free, had good support for modules and had a bit of history. The install instructions are a bit dodgy and I did spend a fair bit of time scratching my head over the cgi-bin, but with a little help from the Blogpros I got to the point where I can write this.

Next step is to set up the image gallery in preparation for my Californian trip – and to satisfy Kelly’s need to look at the Tangalooma pics. Then I’ll go have fun with the modules and also stamp my own look on to this site. Who knows what mess this will end up being. 🙂

    THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF AMYO.

    1. THE NEIGHBOURHEAD CENTRE THREAT
    When babysitting her 2 adorable little sisters while conducting 5-hour phone conversations any displays of revolution where met with the threat of being sent to the ‘neighbourhood centre’. I never went to the neighbourhood centre/have never even seen it but if i am completely honest the threat seemed to work so effectively i have used this threat in class- scarier yet it worked.
    2.THE SHARON TATE FAUX PA
    What can I say except that when trying to engage a beutifull girl crush in coversation comparing her to a victim of a serial killer is never a good idea.
    3. FIFTY THINGS I HATE ABOUT *&*^*
    When writing a list of the 50 things you hate about a single person coming up with 78 just makes you seem mean.
    4. ‘JoJo WAS A GIRL WHO THOUGHT SHE WAS A WOMAN BUT SHE WAS A LESBIAN’
    Great song lyrics never die they just get better with each repetition.
    5.THE TWIN PEAKS RULE
    Just because someone tells you that watching 7 hours of twin peaks will answer the eternal question “who killed laura palmer” doesnt mean it will. The qeustion will live on….and on…and on.
    6. BASIC RULES OF CAR THEFT
    If you steal a car it is owner should happen to passyou by it is important to give a friendly wave to that individual.

    In 6 rules you’ve immediately told everyone all my best stories while simultaneously proving your identity as well as hiding it so far down in the old posts that it takes me 6 days to discover it – thanks to Pauline. 🙂

    For the past few years I’ve considered sending you a christmas or birthday card, but could never remember if your parent’s address was 14a or 14b.

    So good to hear from you, don’t let this be the only time!

    huh-huh what a cunning computer genius I am. My next evil plan- working out how to send an attachment then I can rule the world. As long as Pauline doesnt destroy my plans for world domination by removing the help button from windows.
