One of Paul's first animation attempt

Wotcha, me again.... bin playin' wiv a mighty fine little evaluation copy of PaintShopProV5.0 an' it's not half bad, know wot I mean, like? The animations above were created from 3 snapshots (taken with a crappy Connectix QuickCam) using the Animation Shop V1.00 that came with the aforementioned Psp. OK, that's the advert out the way, well let's get on with it.

Here I am, sat at the old box, banging away at the keys (not as quickly as in this little animation, I might add), Paul banging away at the Box, ...tee .... hee....experimenting in the great mystery of the modern new-fangled wonder machines called PCs. It's all beyond me........sometimes it works, others it simply doesn't! And when it doesn't, boy does it piss me off! I'll spend hours, scratching my head, trying to do the simplest of things and it just don't work, like, know worr I mean?
 

This is actually intended top be a sort of news letter to be read by my friends (hello, is anybody there?) and if you just happen to have stumbled into my home page by chance, and if your name's ALEX, check out the Blind Nun grafik

YEP, it's me Pabs, Pablito, Tango 52, Oi You!, or simply, Paul........

Kinell, where do I begin? There's so much to say, but so little space in which to say it (something wrong here, Ed). So anyway, where was I? Yeah, . . . .this started out differently. . . . . .  .   .     .     
 

Dear   (insert your name here),
I thought I'd drop you a webpage because I suddenly realized that I hadn't written for a while. I ain't got the foggiest how this page is going to turn out. Certainly not going to be one of your fancy/profesional webs like:
OH if you're going to click on one of these links, don't forget to come back, OR better still, bookmark this page with <Control D>

Coca Cola (there'll always be Coca Cola)

Michael Jackson

Chicago Bulls

Adidas

Etc.,

No, this is intended to be simply informative, entertaining, thought provoking ("thought provoking" ,I hear you think, "I wonder what he means by that"), and even educayshunal, Cor blimey mate, Can't you spell? Anyway, let's bash on.......
first off  ;-)

1.
We've moved. Olga and I have moved to a ground floor flat just off Amboage which is ideal as the cat (Pirata) can at least go outside more or less when she wants. Five years in the other flat and she only went out three times (1st when she fell out the back window ,3 floors....yep always land on their feet....) into the garden of the house at the back, 2nd and 3rd when I went back to England and shedidn't like that at all.....agoraphobia, you know) Still, (as opposed to fizzy) where was I? Oh yeah, new flat, cat go outside etc., OK? Unfurnished, did I say?, No? well, it is..............unfurnished that is.........Thought "ain't got a lorra dough, so I'll make a bed" something like Andy's, but not quite so grand......... Pencil, bit o paper, scribble, scribble,....... scribble......aaaand........Hey Presto bed designed!!. Next step: make it. Well....the design turned out to be a little suspect, but with a very simple, but ingenious modification (Olga's idea, not mine), it ended up being sound. Sound as a pound in the ground, or if your from Souff Landan, SAND AZZA PAND INVA GRAND! Any way, back to bed....the bed Pino Rojo (red pine.....wot?) with an Oak (stained) finish for those DIY buffs amongst you thinking "he hasn't got a f**king clue about DIY".

Bought a nice black desk from the nice man at the local furniture shop.
Thought "Nice bit o' kit ,that. I need a table for the classroom. I can do that.But bigger, of course, and better !!!" ........Pencil, bit o paper, scribble, scribble,....... scribble......aaaand........Hey Presto table designed!! Down to local wood shop. Wotcha cock ! Gizus a bit o' wood mate! Saw,Saw,Saw (that's him at the wood shop sawing , not me) and into the car (the wood , not him!) back home and Hey Presto Ace Table..... It turns out that I CAN do these things after all....

Next project - Build a computer table incorporated into the desk I mentioned earlier. (Now been done - Ed)

2.
Other news, oh yeah, I've left the school! PEC, that is. And much happier for it! Sometimes you  got to follow the Nike advice and JUST DO IT! I ain't going to be so indiscreet as to give the real reason for leaving in an open document like this, so let it suffice to say that I left for personal reasons, know what I mean, like!..............
 

3.

So what am I doing now? well, a bit of this , a bit of that, duckin' and divin', etc.... working for the Wall Street Institute, which is based in Santiago. I just do 8 hours a week (all on one day) in Imenosa, one of their contracts. It'll be interesting to see how that develops......They'll probably be into Ferrol soon.......
 
  I WILL add more news soon, so come back in a bit, OK? Ciao.....(last edited: 15/8/98)
