For some reason today I decided to dig up my old server and check out the stats. Seems that there is a small amount of traffic that comes onto this site (aside from robots and spiders).
So I’ve decided to resurrect the site slightly.
I still tumblog at thatgrumguy.com however I’ll be posting here every so often.
Enjoy!
I’ve got a handful of Joost and “I’m in like with you” invites to give out.
What exactly is Joost? Well, for those too lazy to check their website, Joost (in a nutshel) is a TV channel which you have control over.
Kinda like youtube, but slicker and without the junk. A list of their content can be found here.
Iminlikewithyou is… well.. easy and hard to explain…
It’s not exactly a dating site and its not exactly a social networking site either.. They call it a “flirting” site. You can’t just get friends as you would in Virb or Myspace, you have to earn them in eBay-style auctions. Winning an auction doesn’t mean you will get your prize either as the person still has the ability to choose the overall winner.
I find this post the best way to explain the site as well as Calacanis’ podcast here.
I’ve already fallen in love with both sites and hope they don’t vanish into the ether much like many others.
Joost is invite-only until they release their final product to the public, Iminlikewithyou will stay invite-only, quite possibly forever.
If you’d like an invite, hit me up on the comments section of my Virb profile.
Invites for IILWY are for Aussies only - I’m trying to build up the local users.
PS. if you have scored yourself an IILWY invite and are out of the states, sign up using an American zip code (90210) and then change it to your city name in the preferences afterwards. Works for Perth anyways :)
blog fixed.
my bad.
Wow.. What a backlash I got from my Myspace depature.
Its all given me a bit of a giggle to be honest, how many people out there who find me moderately entertaining. But alas, there are bigger reasons why I left.
Firstly, I am NOT in Big Brother, nor have I made it to the top 50 (or whatever). Late last year I auditioned and got far into the audition process but that was it. I did decide to follow total non-disclosure, just in case they change their mind (as well as to mind-fuck with the people around me) but the cut-off date of any possibilities of me being approached passed back in Feb. My recent Myspace depature has nothing to do with me “tying up loose ends” before I get on TV.
So let’s just put that rumor to bed.
Secondly, with a recent change in career and a lot more personal projects on the horizon, I’ve found that I don’t have the time to fuss around with the web. If you need to contact me, I’m easily reachable on YIM/MSN and eMail (heck, I’m connected to all 3 of them 24 hours a day).
Finally - Myspace had barred my account on 7 different occasions over a short period of time for no reason whatsoever. It’s as simple as that. I don’t want to find myself jumping through hoops everytime their service is interrupted - that’s not how it should work.
So c’mon! it’s me we’re talking about. Widdle ol’ grum.
No need to get your panties in a twist.
So, this week I realise Live Messenger really is crap…
I have 4 main MSN accounts which I use. Thanks to a polygamy hack, I have 3 of my accounts running at one time, plus I have the 4th on my Sidekick.
This is all fine n’ dandy…
Well, usually it is.
Occasionally, someone who I am chatting to on my Sidekick wants to send me a picture or initiate a webcam chat - naturally I can’t see or receive the goods on the Sidekick, so I have to log on - I seem to not be able to log on using my main account. Thinking this was an isolated case, I didn’t worry about this - but a week later I realise I STILL can’t use Live Messenger for that login. The login works for all other accounts and this account works on all other MSN clients like trillian, GAIM and all the web-based chats - including the one Microsoft hosts.
I thought it may be Vista, so I bounced back to XP and the same thing happened there. I even ran some XP VMs and the same thing happened.
Microsoft hates me.
Anyway, this is the same account which manged to delete half of my contacts list a few weeks ago. If anyone out there knows a solution to this, drop me an eMail or IM me.
My MSN/gTalk/eMail is: thatgrumguy (at) gmail.com.
Ta.
Y’know when people tell you to go fuck yourself?
how exactly is that a bad thing?
I was just imagining a scene..
Girl at bar: *sigh* I wish a hot man like grum came here and passionately made love to me right now on this bar….
Random man not grum: hey baby, wanna fuck?
Girl at bar: WHAT? Go fuck yourself!
Random man not grum: uh… ok…
Now let’s change her statement slightly…
Girl at bar: *sigh* I wish a hot man like grum came here and passionately made love to me right now on this bar….
Random man not grum: hey baby, wanna fuck?
Girl at bar: WHAT? Go pleasure yourself whilst thinking about me naked, bent over this stool!!
Random man not grum: uh… ok…….. *fap fap fap fap* mmm baby..
So what have we learnt from this today?
I… uh.. really don’t know..
its those people out in the internets lol
who continually have to lol at the end of every sentence lol.
LOL IS NOT A FUCKING FULL STOP LOL.
LOL.
see? it’s fucking annoying.
lol.
no, really - if you are that kind of person who LOL abuses, I hate you.
mkthx.
EDIT: THIS IS TODAY - SUNDAY. BE THERE!
As some of you may know I shall be helping the guys out this month, so if you want to stalk me, feel free to come along - you can’t miss me.

Yeah.. I know, when I was a kid I used to be a Sega fanboy. Eventually I had the Master System, the MegaDrive, the MegaCD, the 32x, Game Gear, Saturn and finally the Dreamcast. I moved on to playstation 1 then 2. I did own a few Nintendos but never was a huge fan.. Now, with the Wii I feel like I am betraying my Sega fanboy status of the late 80s and early 90s.
Oh well, times change… Sega is no longer a console maker and Sony are shooting themselves in the foot with an overpriced behemoth of a system.. After viewing this clip, I found myself swaying side to side and holding a lighter in the air.
I don’t know why.. I think I’m drunk again.
Someone sent me a link to a follow-up video to a youtube vid I blogged about late last year..
enjoy.
I do.
But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, I just figure that I had to jump on the bandwagon and include a picture of Radcliffe’s oh-so bumpy body.
OK, over that now.
On the topic of exposed wangs, tonight signifies the last time that I can run around my humble abode with no pants on. Yes, I’ve taken the plunge and decided to get a housemate again.
The last housemate I had vanished and I had police knocking on my door serving search warrants. Yes, the police woman was hot so I had a perve (mm uniformed female redheads) but it was a bit of a nuisance. If anyone out there happens to know an American twat by the name of Kirk Rude, feel free to throw a vat of acid on his face and piss on his twitching body as he really did cause a lot of trouble for a while - the cops were there because he had allegedly ripped off up to $50k from various Perth families. Nice guy.

Edit:
If you have stumbled on this page because you have googled the name Kirk Rude, please read this page.

Anyways, hopefully this wont happen this time - a friend of mine was coming up very close to the end of her lease and with the rental situation in Perth, she wasn’t able to find any suitable accommodation - so I decided to offer my digs.
But until now, I suddenly realised that I will severely miss being a single bloke. No more can I walk around in my underwear. No more can I watch porn on the widescreen in the lounge. No more can I invite homeless men into my house to slaughter….
I will have to behave.
Eep.
Now, living with a female again will be interesting - my neighbours will probably appreciate it since I won’t be blasting drum n’ bass out of the stereo at 4AM or singing along to Boston’s “More than a feeling” at the top of my lungs as I play it on Guitar Hero…
Well, I suppose I should act my age…
Nah, I’ll just spike her drink one day and ravage her unconscious body.
Thats what you do with housemates right?
Well.. isn’t it?

I was wandering the streets of Northbridge last night and was bedazzled by a little ring of gold lying on the ground. It was on James street and seemed to be missing the cylinder of flesh that it would usually be circling.
If by any chance you know who the owner is - drop me an eMail :)
Hmmm… tonight something odd has happened to my MSN contact list - I had bout 200-300 people listed on it and now I have just over 60. I’ve waited for about 3 hours and so far it hasn’t fixed itself.. I assumed it was people who I hadn’t chatted to recently who vanished but I now realise it seems to be random.
If you have me on your list, can you re-add me just in case you’ve vanished from mine?
