That was your face talking.
I think that might be difficult for free, especially if you want your own toplevel domain name.
I agree, you're certainly not eating right, that's for sure! ;)
Out of interest, where's the best place to get a free, fairly basic website these days? I might even be tempted to pay for one at some point, if it's cheap enough - er, no, maybe not yet...
All I want to do is have somewhere I can show off some of my fine woodworking skills, erm... When more of the work I'm doing is actually... Done. A few uploaded pictures; some text to go with it, giving creditation to the suppliers and all that.
I remember setting up a Geocities site 3 years ago for something similar to go with a project at school - but that's as far as that went; the confirmation message in my MSN inbox! :D
I've lost count of the number of days since I last played my GameCube (don't even mention the GBA...). Last time, I remember actually playing Hitman 2, for the very second time; 2 years after getting the game!
I then found out that the best way to approach the first mission is NOT to charge in all-guns-blazing... I got a fair way inside the villa, but everyone was already alerted and I didn't realise they could shoot through doors! :)
I heard on the radio (perhaps it's only in Bristol?) you can get a free 24: Day 4 DVD set if you're one of the first 100 people to test drive one of those Nissan beasts Jack Bauer would commonly be found in.
I was very tempted, having had my license for over a year now - but then, I wondered just how much a test drive on one of those would actually cost...?
I can't even contemplate writing somethng 20,000 words long. Longest essay I ever wrote was 3,000 and something :-|
Today i've had a bowl of porridge, an apple, a peanut butter sandwich and 2 slices of toast.
That can't be healthy.
I'm not really hungry, but I might try to eat something else before I go to bed...
So, I'd say I have about 8 or 9 thousand of my 20 thousand word assignment written now, in first draft at least.
That said, in terms of proportion of content, I've really not done enough, and there'll be a hell of a job to re-draft it all. Lots to change.
I have 2 sections I don't know much about yet, one of which could be *huge*, depending on how my ethics clearance goes.
Then there are three more where I have some idea, but it's all up in the air again.
I think I need to work much faster, and that's about it. Quality may have to drop, but it's most important to get it all finished.
Tonight I wrote some absolutely pwning stuff. But I'm not sure whether it's what my supervisor wants to read.
I should find out when I get feedback from another chapter of my project he's been looking at, which was done in similarly flagrant style. I'm not sure he's convinced this is the right place for my form of freestyling speculative work.
He calls it being 'scientific'.
Damn science-based course. I want to run out of control down a hill of speculation, links, theory and adventure. In a metaphore for dull academics of course.

Damn right they didn't.
At the end, when I was asking my obligatory questions about the job to show I was taking an interest and could see myself working there, he was looking at me with an expression mixing "Like hell you're coming here" and "Stop wasting my time".
Sure enough I didn't get it.
Still, it was a bit of fun. If I ever find myself being interviewed for a job I really don't want, I'll be sure to use the technique.
> He will. He's everywhere. Like God. Only unable to grow a beard.
Aww, I'm sure god had bum fluff on his face once too...
