lala

not done this in a while

might get back into it

who knows

Domain down

After being grossly over priced on the new domain I have temporarily taken down the domain until everything has been sorted out.

Maybe something meaningful at some point later too haha.

Writing.com

I know, 3 posts in one day you must be mad at me.
But no!
This is relevant!
A while ago I used to use my hand at authoring and tried to complete some work. All that eventually happened was I wrote a novella and half a novel. I abandoned the project after I reformatted and lost the other half of the book and got pissed off with it.
But since my interwebs is dead I have decided that my free time I might carry on writing. This is where it gets juicy for you! I am going to give you a link to my writing.com portfolio and you guys are going to bookmark it (If you want) and when and if I write anything new, you guys will be the first to know!
But so you are not just sat wondering of you like my style/ideas till i can be arsed to do something, on my portfolio is the novella and half novel I mentioned earlier!
So enjoy and I hope to hear some good feedback and I'll leave you all be now.

Internet down

My intertubes have been savagely broken by something and thus it is dead, I am trying to fix it and it doesn't seem to be going to well.

I purchased a domain for the blog http://www.jamesba.co.uk/ from 1and1.com for £1 a year which is banging really, but because of limitations on the interwebs here I can't log in to set it all up so you'll all just have to wait. At some point that link will work so don't just change it yet.

Working with feedburner has proved useful as for some reason it has increased traffic so i'll have to start putting more effort into posts. The website is still coming along nicely and won't be updated for a while due to the internet being down.

Cold

Cold, cold, cold, cold and cold.
Damn cold recently and that's just he start!
Weather is slowly turning to shit while my social life slightly gains in preference.
I finally purchased some new clothing, need some new trousers but they'll come along at some point.
Mother is still mad at me, which is fair, but i'd rather she didn't preach about it. Like if she has a bad day and yells at me it's fine, vise versa, I just fucking lamped a t-rex in the face.
haha
ahwell
School is going great and things are speedy along nicely.

The Voynich Manuscript.

For those of you not familiar with the Voynich Manuscript, which I suspect is most of you - the Voynich Manuscript is a centuries-old book of an undecipherable language. Most historians agree that it was written between 1450 and 1520, because of the clothes that the figures drawn in the book wear. It contains eerie illustrations, particularly of plants that do not resemble those we have currently documented on Earth. There are also diagrams that appear to be astronomical in nature, inlcuding our solar system and what appears to be a galaxy, which would have required a telescope far more advanced than those of the period it was supposedly written in. Interestingly, there are also diagrams of what appear to be cells drawn when viewed under a microscope. If it was indeed written in 1450 - 1520, this would have been nearly 200 years before cells were supposedly first viewed underneath a microscope.

Besides the illustrations, the text is baffling - not one word has been deciphered. Some handwriting experts who've examined the writing agree that the author's words flowed smoothly onto the page, and therefore he knew what he was writing - it's not gibberish. It also follows Zipf's law, which is a law observed in all modern language where the most frequent word will occur approximately twice as often as the second most frequent word, which occurs twice as often as the fourth most frequent word, and so on, further disproving the idea that the book is a hoax.

Not much is known about the history of the book, especially it's early history - we know only that the earliest owner was a man named Georg Baresch who lived in the early 17th century. Over the year, it went from owner to owner and today it is currently in the possession of Yale University.
