Dating Websites

Was looking at joining some other dating sites recently as getting a bit bored of the ones I use. The cost of them is shocking though! And worse yet, they describe themselves as free, but when you use it in free mode you are unable to send or read messages?!?!?! That is not free. http://www.mysinglefriend.com is £28 a month, £18.33 a month for 3 months or £13.17 a month for 6 months. The people who own it much be rolling in it that is a huge amount!

Oasis.com pretends to be free right up to the point you have already created an account and then hits you with a 'credit' concept where by you have 110 credits to start and it costs 100 to request to add someone as a contact (aka message them). So it's a site where you can send 1 free message. Excellent.

My mother has wanted me to write a dating site for ages now (Mostly so she can have the first pick of the bunch I suspect) Extremely tempted right now! The only decent site that is genuinely free that I've found is http://www.okcupid.com/ which is my long term favourite.

New toys

I have recently had the simultaneous erosion in functionality of both my phone and my netbook. Thus had the pleasure of buying new ones. :)

My new netbook replacement is the transformer tf101. Which has a touch screen. Now when I try to use the old netbook to transfer over files etc I keep trying to touch the screen to do things, funny how fast you get used to a new way.

My other new toy is the Sony Xperia U. Which came unlocked for a fab cost and has a nice light along the bottom which you can set up to illuminate different colours for different alerts. Makes me happy

2011 11 28

Decidedly still not feeling very well today... Head still feels a bit woosy and I am feeling quite hot. (Got a cold on Friday and still suffering) I would cite my short attention span but I think that is common across non cold affected days also :/ Wouldn't it be nice to just be perfect. Got some semi interesting bits of work waiting in the wings too, if I can just get some of the mundane stuff over with to get to them.

Also want to see 'Out of time' at cinema on Wed but so far not found anyone to go with me. Still got quite a bit of tidying to do before party, but rest of alcohol coming tonight.

Left the boiler on last night so I can have a shower and do washing up today. (It wakes me up in the night) Decided to go for a ear plug strategy but ended up being unable to sleep as the ear plugs were uncomfortable, would have been better off without and just turning boiler off when it woke me up!
