Halloween Horror

Mike — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 01:41:08 +0000

Well, I am in LA, not for much longer though as I will be flying home tonight (its now 18.40 LA time). It was a pretty chilled out flight on the way out, lets hope its the same on the way home.

Anyway, the reason I am making this post. We went to Halloween Horror Night at Universal Studios California last night and it was amazing. Four of us wandered round the park screaming all night long. If anyone ever gets the chance to go to one of these events I thoroughly recommend it.

Well, I have to keep this post short and sweet as I have to get ready now.

I’ll be in touch again soon.

Yet more progress

I am off to watch some TV now, I need a break, now its time to look at a different screen.

Re-design, making progress

Mike — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:44:03 +0000

Just to keep you updated on my progress with my main site design overhaul. Its not going too badly, quite well actually. the design is very clean. I will implement ways so the use can change the stylesheet soon, but for now, check it out here.

Main site re-design

Mike — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:21:04 +0000

As you all will know my homepage leaves a lot to desire, its all over the place. So I have decided to give it a complete make over and re-design it form scratch. If the site goes down over the next few weeks then thats me working my lil ass away trying to sort it out.

So its back to work from me.

I’ll keep you posted… (get it?) – bad joke.

Peeps

Peeps is a new project I am working on, its a fully featured address book which will be web based so you can access all your loved ones from anywhere in the world. It will be compatible with most desktop apps like Mac Address Book, Microsoft Outlook. You will be able to import data from Facebook, Hotmail, Myspace and other social networking sites.

If anyone out there wished to lend a helping hand and become part of this new and exciting project. Then feel free to email me at addressbookproject@michaelnorris.co.uk.

Laters Peeps,

Projects

Mike — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:24:45 +0000

Hi guys, I am looking for volunteers who would like to start a brand new exciting project with me. I am creating an international music database. The main aim of the project is to collect and collate music information from all over the world, every genre out there. Even un-signed bands. Everything.

The project hasn’t started yet and I want YOU to help me. If you think you have what it takes then drop me an email at musicproject@michaelnorris.co.uk.

The types of people I am looking for are:

People with a scripting background

People with a design background

It would be helpful if you knew php, html and mysql however these are not necessary.

I’m waiting… Mike.

Home Sweet Home

Hi guys, I am home now. Got back from LA yesterday, was a very long and tiring flight, and the drive home was a bitch to say the least. I’m off now til Friday when I am jetting off to Barbados and Antigua, I haven’t been to Antigua before so I am looking forward to it. Hopefully the flight isn’t too busy.

As for the next few days, I am off out tonight with a friend, it will be nice to catch up with them as I haven’t seen them in ages. I can’t wait until tomorrow though, it feels like ages since I’ve seen my girlfriend. I look forward to the day that I get to spend every day and night together. Not the odd day here and there.

See ya later folks

I know what you’re thinking… I’m up early?? No. I am still in LA, its just gone 10 o’clock in the evening and I am shattered. We’ve had a busy day at Six Flags: Magic Mountain, we didn’t quite make it to Fright Fest but it was a fantastic day nonetheless. Four of us went in total, we took one of the vans Virgin provide us with at the hotel, its only a 40 minute drive away. The photos as usual will be on here soon.

I’ll tell you now, the superman ride knocked it out of us, especially after we polished off a lot of pizza just before we went on!

Batman The Ride, Superman The Escape, Colossus, Gold Rusher, Tatsu and Viper are the rides that kept us entertained all day long. And although we only touched the surface compared to the amount of rides they have there it was well worth every penny.

I’ve been out shopping too, can you believe, I’ve crammed so much into today! I just love walking around Pasadena, its so mild out at night, just jeans and a t-shirt even in October, its great.

I’m now chillin’ in my room, on iTunes sorting out my library, its such a mess.

Check out is tomorrow afternoon/ evening (12th) so we get the best part of the day here before we leave, its great. I certainly can’t complain about this job, I just can’t get over the fact that we get paid to do this. Sorry to use an American expression but its awesome.

Hollywood!

Hi guys, I thought I’d check in with you all, I am off to LA tomorrow for two nights. Hopefully it will be a fun filled trip. I think Six Flags has a fright night as do Universal so a few crew might be up for that.

I am away on the later LA flight, the VS23 (as opposed to the VS7) not that it makes ay real difference, just means I get the better part of the last day to wander the sidewalks of Pasadena and hit the shops one last time before I come home that evening.

This isn’t the only time I will be off to LA this month, I have the same flight later on in the month actually over Halloween, which again I hope will be a great trip!

I haven’t been to LA for a while, the last time was in April with my girlfriend for our two month anniversary (awww).

Anyways, I am off to pack and do some more work, which I am meant to be doing as I write this little short message to you all.

Laters potatas!
