Over 2 months? Bad spider :(

09.08.2006
Two of my nearest and dearest friend had a baby girl today. I'd like to wish the three of them all the best for the future. I've changed the day to check for updates to Thursday, as it's Wednesday night I actually do it. Just listening to music on random at the moment. How nicely Windows Media mixes things together - Bjork - Hyperballad, to House of Pain - Jump Around and now something from Clint Mansell's soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream. Seamless... If there's interest, I plan to resurrect the short story idea. Here it is copied and pasted from below:

"Basically, I want people to submit short stories to my site. Once I have enough, I will remove them from my site and get them published as a book, which will be available for sale through my website and anywhere else I can. Not sure how this will work out financially yet (with payment for people who submit stories), as I need to work out how much it will cost me to get them printed up and how that equates per book sold. If you have any thoughts, suggestions, story etc., let me know."

Less than a week... I know the other areas are being neglected, but what can I say. The muses aren't with me at the moment...

26.07.2006
Look! It's only been a week since the last update. I know! Crazy. Never let it be said I'm a man of my word... Not much of an update though, just a new picture. There are so many things I mean to review, but I always see something else before I finish. For instance, tonight I am going to watch the first Masters of Horror episode, directed by John Carpenter, and, time permitting, The Proposition. The football season starts in earnest soon- my season ticket arrived on Friday, so be prepared for the mood of my posts drop... I will be putting up a forum soon. I was using it for my own purposes, but hey, I'm a caring, sharing kind of guy. The World Cup countdown has come down, after my stupidity was pointed out by people too numerous to mention (you know who you are... both of you).

NEWS JUST IN... I've added a forum...

19.07.2006
So, late, as usual, I've got round to updating. For your enjoyment, we have a new picture, and a review of Phantasm 3 by one of our readers. Feel free to submit anything you'd like me to consider putting up and you too could win a badge. Yes, a badge. No mere stickers for my dear audience...

05.06.2006
After a few weeks of enforced ludditism (is this a word? Should be.), I have built a spanky new computer and will commence with

24.05.2006
A long overdue update. A new image, and, as an experiment with PHP, I've created a world cup countdown page.

12.04.2006
Well, I'm currently (as in as I write this) setting up a forum. This will cover just about anything you want to discuss. If there's not already a forum for it, let me know what you want to discuss and I'll set one up or let you know where to post.

10.04.2006
Just a couple of little changes. Have killed the MySpace link and will maybe replace with just an 'about me' page. As if you care... Have also added links to the hosting service I use. They've been good to me so far, very quick to answer any questions, they come highly recommended.

05.04.2006
Another Wednesday, another Wednesday update... crazy... Just an image for you today, but there are new reviews since last week, including one of Red Orchestra for the PC (I've even included maps, that's how nice I am). I'm trying to sort out a message board to replace the guest book, so keep an eye out for that.

29.03.2006
A Wednesday update... on a Wednesday... whatever next. There's a new doodle, fact and a review of the excellent Dead Man's Shoes. I have plans to do a version of my map for the World Cup, so watch this space...

18.03.2006
Well, out of curiosity, I set up a MySpace account, which you can access here. At the moment, it's quite depressing, because it says I only have one friend, so feel free to add me... Now, I'm hoping this is just referring to MySpace and all my mates haven't turned on me...

Revamping of this page will continue apace, as it doesn't look right in IE (I hope you're all using Firefox though...)

02.03.2006
The update has been put back, as I had to work on works' site last night. Some of you may have seen that I accidentally uploaded their index page over mine. I'm so stupid...

16.02.2006
A few changes. Firstly, I've put up another poster for one of my films made in The Movies. It's based on the short story 'Tragedy of an Average Man', which can be found here. There is another short story available here. Also, I have added Amazon links to the reviews. I'd like to say it's to make it easier for you to order, but, if truth be told, it's to help me afford improvements to the East Wing of Dabnor Towers. I'm also working on some other stuff for, well, the 'Other Stuff' section. And, I intend to actually keep my blog up to date...

01.02.2006
Did you miss me? In a change from the norm, today's new picture is actually an advert for my film on The Movies. It's a spoof of 70s cop shows, and hopefully you'll find it amusing.

11.01.2006
A well overdue update, for which I apologise. Christmas has a way of compressing time. Speaking of things that steal time, I have been playing The Movies. The films I have created can be seen here.

Hopefully you'll find them amusing. Was happy to hear that Wolves have drawn Man United in the next round of the FA Cup. Makes my sitting alone in the North Bank vs. Plymouth almost seem worthwhile...

14.12.2005
Well, we're nearly there... there'll probably be just one more update before Christmas. I would like to offer my thanks to www.whowantsabalti.co.uk who have been putting a hell of a lot of hits my way. Cheers. Also, if you could give me a vote on www.humorlinks.com, I'd be most grateful.

Should I not see you all again before then, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

07.12.2005
There is a new fact and doodle. But you've probably seen the image anyway (as it's right above this...). The quest for world domination is grinding to a standstill. For some reason, I have had no visits from Austria, even though the rest of Europe has visited. If you know any Austrians, get them to log on. And, things are quiet on the visitor submission front (ie none...). If you want to see your writing, pictures, cartoons on here, just email me by clicking here and earn yourself a badge.

I am currently working on a new short story and will be posting a review of the Minotaur Shock album 'Maritime'.

30.11.2005
The latest search that finds me is 'Joss Whedon Serenity Profanity'. Can't imagine many sites meeting that criteria...

Have posted a review of Guy Ritchie's Revolver. And where are my stories, people? C'mon, get writing...

23.11.2005
Updates! At last! Have added a new image (see above) and a new fact. Also, for your delectation, here are the top searches people have input to come here:

8. Singing tramp
7. Henry 8th pictures
6. Banana pictures
5. Banana pictures colouring in
4. Henry the 8th
3. Domination
2. Henry the 8th pictures
1. Henry 8th

22.11.2005
Finally, I have a working PC (after various grief), so expect to see more junk soon.

07.11.2005
Heh. Typical. On Sunday, my PC decided it didn't want to work anymore. So, the update has been put off again. Should be sorted by Wednesday though.

02.11.2005
The Wednesday update is being postponed. Probably until the weekend, as I'm off "darn the boozah" tonight and when I return home I intend to watch horror. Currently it's a toss up between Hellraiser and The Thing, or maybe one I taped last night about a mermaid, with Rufus Sewell in it, but that looked crap (mind you, a lot of good horror is. Or something). I need to write a review for this update (as I was remiss last week), there is a short story in the works (although as I said in a previous blog, I don't know how to achieve the transition from where it is up to at the moment and it's conclusion). I stil have a back catalogue of doodles to get through, which is growing daily. At some point, I'll just go crazy and whack a load on.

SHORT STORY SUBMISSIONS
If you wish to submit a short story for inclusion in the book I aim to publish, there are two criteria it needs to meet. The first that it is needs to be one scene only. The location can change, but the passage of time must be continuous. The second is that it must contain two humans. No more, no less. They can be of any age, gender, religion or ethnicity. There may be other entities, animals, spirits, whatever. If your story is not accepted, I will try and let you know why, so that you can resubmit it if you wish. To submit any work or if you have any queries, please email me at submissions@dabnorfish.co.uk . Please note that work submitted for the finished publication must not be published elsewhere in part or whole.

24.10.2005
*NEW PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT
Basically, I want people to submit short stories to my site. Once I have enough, I will remove them from my site and get them published as a book, which will be available for sale through my website and anywhere else I can. Not sure how this will work out financially yet (with payment for people who submit stories), as I need to work out how much it will cost me to get them printed up and how that equates per book sold. If you have any thoughts, suggestions, story etc., let me know, either through here or my site.

Also, I have heard disturbing reports of a counter revolutionary group trying to stop my world domination. More news to appear here.


20.10.2005
Added some new stuff. A short story, a review of Jim Jarmusch's film Coffee and Cigarettes, new facts about Darwin and Sociopaths and a new picture. Things are a little out of order on the doodle and facts front, but I'm working on a more methodical way of organising them (it'll be easier for me, see...). Also looking at doing new layouts for the reviews and my writings and some way of making this news section a little tidier. If you have any feedback on anything, send me an email. And it's about time I had some of your pictures, reviews, rants, whatever... the badges have been designed for entries I decide to use.

12.10.2005
Well, I was going to be doing more of an update, with a review of Serenity (just take it that it's great for now, more details to follow...) and a new fact, but, instead, I've been re-arranging everything and tidying stuff up, so apologies. Oh, and as a cautionary tale... never, ever, ever, ever, accidentally edit the wrong template and apply it to your whole site. That way lies pain. [UPDATE] SCREEEAM. Everything is crumbling around my ears. Although it should be fixed now...

07.10.2005
OK, hopefully during the next week, I'll get everything tidy. I am now going to open up to reader submissions. Send in thoughts, writings and pictures. If I, as a self important jerk, decided to use them, I'm going to get some crappy badges printed and, once they are printed, you will receive one to leave festering in the bottom of a drawer. Please submit your, erm, stuff, to submissions@dabnorfish.co.uk and, if you want a badge, I'll need your address, or a PO box or something..

03.10.2005
Put up my 1st review. As with a lot of stuff on this site, it needs work on the formatting, but, well, there ya go.

29.09.2005
Added a few more cartoons. My world takeover continues apace with the assimilation of Poland.

28.09.2005
I have decided to try and take over the world with my website... each country that visits me, I am colouring in red. If you know anyone from, say, Papua New Guinea, let them know and eventually, we'll be able to say that the sun never sets on the Dabnorfish Empire.

Click here to view the map (until I sort out a proper link...)

22.09.2005
Well, trying to get random images working for the front page, but so far, no go. So... in the meantime, I present you with my design for a boardgame and a temporary image and fact index.

20.09.2005
I've added a webcounter now, so I can indeed, confirm, that I'm very alone...

19.09.2005
Avast ye landlubbers. Did ye ken it was talk like a pirate day, ye scurvy dogs?
Have put up a lot more images for your delectation. Was happy to announce our first ever competition winner (maybe the last, who knows).

15.09.2005
Still putting everything together (as you can probably tell...) Have put one piece of writing up- the tragedy of an average man.
