Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.
I was going to do one of my traditional “reflect on the year” thingies, but it occurred to me that there’s not much point. I have actually done very little this year that I intended to. Oh sure, I finally managed to get NinjaLinks in to a half working state, and rev.iew.me is doing really… read full entry »
Given that for the next day or so I’ll be rushing around here, there and everywhere, I thought it right that I post today and wish everyone a very merry Christmas, and good luck in advance of 2009. May your days be filled with good food, drink (if you’re so inclined) and festive cheer. PS…. read full entry »
Because I’m a materialistic twat, and know full well that at least two people buying me gifts this year read my website, I’ve compiled a short list of things that I’d like for Christmas. :D An Asus EEE netbook. Linux version, preferably the 901. (hahaha, keep wishing Jem) High Performance MySQL by multiple authors The… read full entry »
Minus a paddle… and, oh yes, a purse. I went to leave the house this morning ready to jump on a bus and head to my mum’s, only to discover that my purse (that may be ‘wallet’ to you American types) wasn’t in my bag. I’ll cut a long, boring search story short… I haven’t… read full entry »
I don’t know if any of you have ever watched one of those dodgy diet shows… wannabe doctor-cum-nutritionist types who stand there shouting at fatties about how if they don’t stop eating crap they’re going to die tomorrow, all the while probably fantasising about sinking their teeth into the big cream buns and greasy, lovely… read full entry »
Jem: I’ll pop your drivers license in my purse Karl: Is that some kind of sexual metaphor, for later? Yes dear, yes it is.
Hi everyone! Remember me? My name is Jem, I refer to myself as a the ‘php ninja’? Look, I’m not dead yet! Firstly, thank you to everyone who left comments, emails etc enquiring as to my whereabouts/asking me whether or not I was dead or not (so that you can throw a party, right?) I… read full entry »
No, indeed, although feeling not far off. I have some sort of tummy bug and thus, have spent most of the week singing in to my toilet. The doctor has given me useless sympathy and tablets, although I can’t say as they’re working. I’m finding it hard to sit at a computer screen for significant… read full entry »
On Friday (3rd) my sister was taken in to hospital with suspected appendicitis. After 2 days of poking and prodding at the local hospital, it was decided she didn’t have appendicitis. She was taken by ambulance to another hospital, where she had keyhole surgery on Sunday morning. I’ll spare you the gory details — for… read full entry »
I finally remembered to check the results for the second module of my course today; I received another Grade 2 pass as per the first module. Given my self-confessed loathing of JavaScript I didn’t even expect to get that far. I am annoyed though, to be quite honest. I have a weak spot when it… read full entry »
