Time to write at least a few loose thoughts (don't expect to understand it fully!)
At first I am happy about my decision to return back to work at Abacus and I am looking forward to being back at work on Moday after a week of holidays.*

Beside cleaning, washing and usual 'homeworks' I had a little more time to continue in some websites improvements, mainly I have managed yeasterday to send from ASP page mailForm with 40 (all types) fields and without saving it at first to database. So that I am more and more convinced that
my ISP - Demon and Tollon network devoted to databases are simply the best.

I cannot avoid noticing that everything what was done / setup at Heswall Court in sense of inserting me into some computerized surveillance system, absolutely anonymously without a word of any explanation, and following sequence of RightToBuy Schemes stopped twice (because of whom?) and all the other mobile driven extensions i.e. processing perhaps hundreds of speech sound
streams through my "bio" body-sound equipment and spelling it out for about 8 years - simply this all was totally, completely, utterly wrong!!! My life would have been quite different, they spoilt everything: to see my daughter and grandsons, to buy new advanced computer etc, to undertake Java course at the college. Which means that they nearly killed me. I used to have prepared Epitaf: Here lies SvatavaUK - website design interactive and proud object of Her Majesty. Killed by......

I have realized so strongly that we (people) have got one gift from God or 'Darwin'...
the will to survive under whichever circumstances, that I feel 'double English' while listening to the BBC, BigBen, meeting normal ordinary people, having support of a lot of my friends and at last but not in the least importance of the Internet.

Even if I myself probably appear not to be so much for 'twittering' and sending comments or use chat rooms, forums, blogs, I am following everything and right/wrong finding a lot of support both in technical and emotional sence. I scream for example - fantastic they are working for me! Or now when Dave Winer asif stopped Scripting News I was nearly in a shock! I am not in active contact with him (I would be probably, if those above mentioned did not spoil everything), but I consider him (and Scobleizer too) one of the most clever and altogether the most kind man 'I have ever met'.
I must not forget all the other too - those teams in search, browsers ....yes and
Astalavista and Lycos (why some other time), and... and...

abacuslogo.gifI have at last decided to solve my present "collapsing state of  livelihood" by starting to work fulltime with my previous employer Abacus Data Entry Limited, Luton. I was not sure at all if it would be possible and was terribly nervous before I had picked up telephone. But after speaking to Lynn, my previous and present supervisor (and few probably previous 'bosses'), I realized that nothing can be better than real alife friends. After about half an hour Lynn called back that I can come for an interview. So I did, was interviewed by Inn - main manager, friendly and calming, and my waterfall of explanations was nicely streamed to him by the Lynn - I was "on".

Not that it would be easy for me to get back the required speed to "crunch the data", but I am enjoying it and hopefully I managed to get that job! What is also important - there are still some of my older good friends, everyone supporting, smiling and friendly, and more over the same can be said about those whom I have never met before.

I certainly don't stop to continue with all my databasing (now improving my own website) and following all the friends and 'technologies' (even if indirect, via their websites) on the Internet. Even if I cannot spent so much time on it like before, it is better in that sense: I have an anchor, security point. It is not necessary for me to live in permanent worries. So far all the concrete experience out of marketing myself was not positive: people for whom I have been designing lately no matter how satisfied they seemed to be - did not paid for anything. And all the other businessmen and marketers - want to earn themselves.

Consequently I think I have made right decision. I can be even more confident that with less I can achieve more in the future.

mesh_2.jpgI am starting to think about sort of 'profile' hence my only bearable photo, when I had still hoped that perhaps somebody in our town (Luton) must monitor us - ordinary zeroes working/studying hard to build and improve our future and recognize 'who is who', appreciate individual effort and support us according to the 'Big Ben' and not according to some false information, gender and age. Now I am looking 'just to be archived' as after 2x stopped Right to Buy Scheme I am continuesly struggling to survive.

But even so I feel now double English and love my present home. Details I would describe in person.

After 'finishing' ASP/database driven website (demo) I am trying to market myself everywhere - on governmentle websites, in the banks etc. But I enjoy utmost improving my website, a little bit return to the graphics and CSS. They are right (I mean e. g 4GuysFromRolla, ASP101 e.t.c) that they use to lough when somebody ask them: Can you do graphics too?

DavidIt is the only one picture that I have got left out of all the pictures sent to me by David (grandson) from - and now I have to storm as I have to use description and not full name of that my first parallel country. Do you know why? Because communications infrastructure here in Luton, my town, is taken apart and probably more than twice! Which means that I am still permanently "subfeeded" with say rather sophisticated set-up of mobile networks, or similar. What all those who claim "technology tamed" are doing?

Back to the topic. After crash I have lost quite a lot of pictures, scripts etc. It is all my fault. I should know before about external storage(s). Otherwise being born free and rebel I am continuing to build up my "she has a future" (one of famous repetitive messages too!)

I have at last finished (never quite...) that database driven website - demo again, because of the complicated development of many aspects...  After asking MobileGuru at least 10x to propagate it like www - and nothing happend, I inserted it into my projects. So that it can be seen at:

asvamobile or

projects


O/W I have to combine that MLM with street-wise level of marketing. I hope I will get there before theirs "I got ya!" And I have done all the backend-maintenance too by
chance!

I have managed at last to make both main category menus to be really dynamic; updating, deleting, adding on the back-end database is immediately displayed in the front end. Now remains great problem: how to arrange propagation on www. Either MobileGuru will do it or I will have to upload it to my new 'demo' website.

It sounds to be so 'normal' that somebody may ask: Why so much ado about it all. Well, I am terribly much struggling to survive due to those already few times mentioned reasons: At first materialistic reason: I have been stopped 2x that Right to Buy Scheme of the previous flat at Heswall Court. To describe all the details in a short is not possible. But it created for me tremendous physological effects, warries, stress, resulting naturally in blood circulation, "no iron in blood" and similar. Yet worse: all the prepared things (five years ago) - to see my family, to buy new equipment, to join Java course - all was gone, instead permanent great effort to solve it by continuing in websites, and all influenced more over by another terrible factor: I must have been (and again at Heswall Court) "inserted" from behind back into some sourveyance system; I have started to feel instant 'hunting' by sound, hanging on some bio-physics machine, multiplying with some set up of mobiles, turned into  the "walking-speaking" antenna.

In my case it is horror, as I was always thinking in full language = talking to myself, teaching etc. So I started to respond to everything - I simply cannot bear any "foreign messages" to path through my current in my body. I do not know what to do. I am taking standpoint that "these things" are difficult to prove, many depands on those money and positions. But should not this all be detected by all those who are part of the communications infrustructure, networking, especially WAPs driven, and certainly by local Council? Somebody must know what was in concrete terms done. They should not allow to destroy - generally speaking for the sake of all the other similar cases - human lives, especially when somebody is working hard to build up his/her future.

And there is such a big difference in flow of a normal, ordinary life here in Luton to that 'sound layer' and thoughts about bad past events: all the people are so pleasant, friendly, supportive, smiling, encouraging...in the streets, in the shops, in my Parish Church. And those sad events are sad because of real hard life and illnesses - my good friend, Lutonian, Tom - died from cancer. Till lately he was moving furniture (dealing with second hand furniture for all his life), busy all the time, and now gone for ever.

phonecover-girl-redI have at last managed to get all the delivery addresses right. It was tomorrow - I tried to correct duplicates for Explorer, FireFox and Netscape both had it correct long time ago. I believe that it is not too bad, as there is all invoicing system too, backend and front end seems to be OK. Shopping cart calculates VAT well, all categories integrate into one script, and Access (serviced perfectly by Tollon net) is saving, updating etc very well too.

Just one great problem: it is not propagated like www and I cannot connect to it without changing Windows Host Name, which certainly I did, but I need to show it around in order to get quickly some customer. I have tried all adviced by Tollon, changed Zone maint to create sub-domain, but still I have got in browsers Bad request (hostname). I think that it is connectivity, plus that it is not url, just *record. So I shall see: maybe add DSN, or new order - it is a 'hot hurting point', those fiscal problems, I am better 'encrypting it' but it still terribly hurts what was done as to that Right to Buy Scheme plus all those accompanying extensions via 'microwaves' etc.

O/W I am regardless of all the unluck happy in my home at Birchen Grove and terribly childishly listen often to the sound of Big Ben!

t1.gifAs a matter of fact I do not know about what 'to write' quickly and yet with some sense. How those Twitters know what is good and what not. I know better not to think too much.
I have anyway mainly to find out how to correct duplicate records, than to add one link for archive ... Already it is long and I am in the undescribably weary mood ala that picture on the right.

I am betting everything on name!
