I Hate Custard
| 4/07/2026 - First Blog Entry |
This is a new blog thing I'm doing. Heavily inspired by the Toxic Custard Workshop Files from 1990 - 2019 in which some bogan is just yammering about his life. I quite frankly love it, so I'll be stealing that idea from this moment onward.
Alright, so, let me tell you a story. This story takes us back to roughly a 11 years ago. 2015. I was in kindergarten, right? Little 6yr me toddling around with the other snott munchers. Now I wouldn't consider my younger self a good liar, but I seemed to be on the level of a spy with this one lie. I had a small nose, right? When a booger would get stuck in my nose, I would turn into a mouth breather. I hated that, so I started digging DEEP into my nose. I yanked out the largest booger that I've likely ever seen. That thing looked like a slug. I had no where to put it, because if I put it on my pants, I'd have a slug of a booger on my pants all day for everyone to see. You know what I did? I wiped it squarly onto the corner of the "huddle around the teacher" rug. In some wild chance, no one saw me do it, but everyone saw it afterwards... I thought everyone was onto me, like they'd all know that I get boogers that large, so I lied and said it was a dead bug or something. Somehow, every single one of those little ankle biters believed it. They all watched it closely over the next few days as it dried up and became crusty on the carpet. One of my friends pointed it out and said it looked like a booger, and I was sitting closest to it when it appeared, but I insisted that a booger can't be that big, and once again, I totally fooled him. His mind was boggled. He was dumbfounded, flabberghasted even. No one knew who had done it or why it was there. Then one day it was gone, and I forgot about it. End of story.
Sorry for that little snippit of a kindergarten tale, I just needed something to write for a first story.
Happy 4th of July to all!!
| 07/06/2026 - Making Websites / Stealing Websites |
So, I have basically no idea what I am doing. Well, that's a lie. I've fooled you like I've fooled those cheeto dust finger children back in '15. What I meant to say was I know very little of what I am doing when making this website. I know very little about how to setup an HTML webpage at all. What I did was basically rip off that 1990 website by saving the webpage in its entirety and paste it into notepad under the name "1995_aussie_blog.hta" and I chose hta because it looks cooler than html when it's displayed. I then took some elements from that (nearly the whole damn thing) and used it as a template of sorts for making all that you see now.
In stealing his website (sorry mate) I began learning more about HTML ontop of what I already knew, even if it wasn't much. So by stealing his website, I am doing some sort of hands on learning thing. Pretty cool, eh? Now I know just a little bit more about how to run this joint properly.
Aren't I a genius?
| 07/10/2026 - Speakers, HTML, & Floppy Disks |
Everybody loves some good sound quality, am I right? Well, I was perfectly satisfied with my headphones for the longest time, but I figured it was time for a change. I began looking for old pc speakers that I could set up on my desk and play the sounds of my pc through, but I found something a little bit better. A full stereo system. Yeah, a full stereo system. You might be wondering, "Where on earth did you find a full stereo system for your pc?" and I'll tell you, it was right in front of me every single day for the past few years, and no one was using it. It was under my living room TV. We used to use it for the TV sound when it was a really trashy sound, but our new TV doesn't even have an option for the use of this stereo system, so it was literally gathering dust for months! What sparked this revelation was when I was searching in my garage for some old pc speakers and I saw 2 full size speakers under my dad's desk. I thought to myself, "That would sure be nice to have under my desk. Too bad they're too giant for my desk... Oh wait!" and then I ran out to my living room to see 2 half size speakers, maybe reaching to just under my kneecap when stood up, just sitting there, unused. I then grabbed the stereo box and the 2 speakers and moved them into my room, set them up, plugged them in, and was blown away like that guy from the Maxell commercials. Currently I've played the windows 95 start-up sound over and over again (it sounds immaculate with these speakers), some 8-bit and 16-bit music, and some classical piano. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with an unused stereo system.
As far as HTML goes, I am getting magnitudes better from when I started this site 6 days ago. I understand so much more and can actually set up a new page to look nice. What an improvement!
Floppy disks. No one uses them anymore. Well, the US government still uses floppy disks, but that's beside the point. I still use floppy disks. I'm 16 going on 17, born in 2009, so floppy disks we're already going out of production by that time, and CD-ROM was all the rage, but that was very soon to be replaced with USB flash drives, which are still in use and in high demand today. I like floppy disks, but finding good ones are a little tricky, and I've bought a 10 pack of disks before where 9/10 were complete garbage. By garbage I mean they were as good as a coaster. They couldn't hold any data, and those that did ended up scratching really bad to the point that I was just hearing grinding whenever they were trying and failing to read their data. Recently though, I bought another pack of 10, and these feel a lot higher quality, and they really are. 10/10 of these work perfectly and do not scratch even the slightest when fetching or writing data. Because of this, I've been able to put my data on them. Little programs and such. It's quite fun, and it's even more fun to hold your data afterwards. Very cool. I strongly recommend it for anyone who want's to try and fit stuff in under 1.44MB.
