Hey up everyone. I know its been a little while since I did an update and that is because of the work load I have been under so while I have some spare time I've decided to give you guys an update on what's happening before the real work starts again. Well these have been the most difficult days of my life ever, even worse than failing last year. I recently some thieving bastards have gone and burgled my house up at University. They broke a window at the back of the house and then got in through there. From there they got one of the fire extinguishers in the hallway and preceded to break my bedroom door down. They managed to breakdown the door and get in my room. They then took my TV, Playstation 3 + Games, Computer, and monitor. They also completely trashed my room and ransacked all my draws and bags. Not only did they steal that stuff they also stole some of my clothes such as my favourite hoodies' such as the one I got in Germany at the Full Moon Festival. They did all of this over the Christmas period so suffice to say it sucked the Christmas spirit out of me. But luckily I have some good friends and family that have been a tremendous amount of support and would like to thank the following people for helping me in no particular order Mum, Grandma, Ravepants, Tombob, and Marcus Lee. The damage has been done and I've lost a lot of years work that is irreplaceable but luckily thanks to the help of my Grandma I have a new on the way that looks to be pretty good as it is being built for audio. It is a shame that I am not building it but I do not have the time at the moment to do it.
I also found the Christmas and new years very stressful due to all of this and pushed things to far with drugs due to the depression of it all. Drugs have a way of accentuating the worst characteristics of a person and this time it really showed as I am the first to admit I'm not the most calm, sensible, and Normal person. It really put things in perspective and shows that now I have experienced and understood drugs its time to move on as it is not a way forward.
Anyways this is a setback to my work but I will not let it destroy me and I will succeed as the goal is so close and life will start to come together for me however crazzy looking it is right now I just have to have faith.
I am soon to start building a PC64 cable that I can use to upload C64 binaries from my PC to the memory of the C64. In the new year I will upload details of how I built this cable along with pictures. I also promise to start blogging my research on the Commodore 64 SID chip for all my readers. As soon as I get back to University I got a blog post lined up and all it needs is to take some hardware Pr0n pictures to go with it but you guys will see when it comes as it is a secret for now
New Year is going to be good! In the words of that classic 80's band Yazz "The only way is up. Baby!"
