130 members hit (and lousy timing/lucky escape? with an upload on my part)
23/Nov/09
the sex tree sign

minor tweaks here and there. i.e. a tshirts/the log in page - which is always risky with site dynamics (as all the text is gone now) plus an experiment on myspace to get people on that way/make some new friends. and my new pie chart control. as you can how see a breakdown of how people have answered questions on the site. the plan is to expand the questionare bit. 130 cought me offguard as i'd broken the questionaire stuff  a few mins before hand, while uploading minor changes for the future, never moved so quick to a stored procedure before (actually i have) but yes it shouldn't have happened. as i try and write a letter appologising, filling her in. as i hate touching core stuff, but onward to the future as i try to get the code in, ready for people to add their own questions/tests in which is where its going currently. not sure if its worth adding the palmistry stuff in?  but its perhaps a more political version of okcupid here.

In other news: i am being taken to the small claims court over an unpaid water bill (the ones who are billing me from -5 to 108+ units instead of the 7 i should be using) and well while i perhaps ought to pay them something, but i can't as i have no money here/tryng to rent my house out before i starve/living in overdraft. so things are getting tight here (see last christmas me living on out of date food, and £10 in 2/1ps) but development continues anyways in the hope this site turns around, but we may starve todeath before we make it in the end *hope not*  as the site  IS going to make it/is getting more popular and i am getting more compliments now, but yes it is slow work getting it all in place, as I am only a one man band, not that i'm complaing other then the law suits are going to rip us apart notwithstanding money issues and all as the banks may be loosing patience with me as well, so yes we shall see how the future grows!

120 members hit (i started adding stuff, and membership stalled. why is that?)

This one made me nervous, as it was starting to speed up: then i added a human right section (unhardcoded the articals/added case law, statutes), and nothing at all! as surely your counts are supposed to rise with more stuff to play with? so what sections are new since last time:

Human Rights Law - view cases from the surprem court/court of all inter alia
View UK Budget Data (including IMF Data!)
Chemistry Facts  as i'm trying to come up with a new universal theory, to explain the lot and its not helping much!

as it is these sections are perhaps too hard core for some - i was in a political mood - what can i say -  and the tax system mock up  was something i did  in an attempt to bring some money in. i even went as far as sticking a currency calculator in (to test some other stuff, a days effort just to remind me, i can do development still!) though i would need to sort some automated imports out, for it to be any real use. which means partnership with others (perhaps some graphs on shares?) but yes... little interest there perhaps?

Unfortunatly hm treasury refused to give me any numbers as far as budget data went, which isn't helpful when they are overspending by £175 billion in one year, and they seemed to want to blame it on the departments instead.
So its getting hard to work out where to cut costs at all. My view is just say your budgets are cut and be done with it, which is why I went through the last years budgets to try and get some useful information in. various flyers were done, with my political views on, but I suspect these won't appeal to the mainstream at all! Too honest (and its not the british way)

So i am perhaps banging my head against a wall, woundering what to do, and what with law suits from the council hotting up again, i am perhaps wasting my time. as the bcs accused me of advertising a sex site! me a sexsite, when i'm trying to advertise human rights law inter alia and its really anoyed me that they have threatened me with disiplinary action for "bringing the profession into disrepute" and for not thinking about what i say, which has anoyed me greatly, as i always think about what i say. i just rarely proof read it thats all, and I will not make appologise for trying to promote my site/ask for help from other members (in a recession). Especially when i'm only responding to another member asking for confirmation of who was getting the mails! Furthermore i am always honest with passing knowlege on, and its that honestry which has got me in this mess! as no sooner do you open up on the psychic side/the occult you get discriminated again in I.T. and well the BCS can go to hell, as i paid the price for honesty in Britain!
prejudice, hate and discrimination from business for talking about the psychic side openly.

 This site is my life, if i don't sell that,  well i guess i'm dead and well I want nothing to do with those pompus negative neigh sayers, full of s**t as not one of them has helped the profession at all. They are more interested in promoting fear, mystery and discrimination while they pushing up the costs of industry with negativity, as you come away with the impression that its all "you can't do that" , "your not allowed to do that", and "that wouldn't work" which is just the kind of mentality you don't want in business today,as it puts people off doing anything at all! How they like it perhaps, as at least i have tried to put my money where my mouth is build a site up from scratch, compete with america on the international scence in an effort to bring money into europe as a whole.

They just sit around and bitch at people instead, trying to look big (thinking busines sis made of money) as people go broke! They have no idea what it takes to survive in a recession at all. Out of touch close minded  morons who are taken in by the lastest buz words,  trying to  over compensating with image instead.  No idea how to run a busines at all, let alone do I.T. going by that security hole, which left lots of emails vulnerable (they forgot to secure a mailing list) which is what promoted mine, and all the other mails to begin with in response and i just decided to add a request to join my site! with it as well.

So yeah. they can take their chartered status and shove it up their arse, as i'm better then any of them,  they just brings people down, making them scared to be themselves, and well they stop anyone trying to do anything in this world today. too much negativity, not enough productivity.

 Which means if i do make it big, I won't be employing any of that lot at all, assuming I did make it big, but i suspect I will be censored to death long befre then. In the meantime I have to decide if i am now going to sue them in the high court for defamation or not. As they took one look at thesextree, and said it was a sex site, they didn't even join or look at what was here  and i'm sorry i was ever taken in as a student, and joined now. This was back when i thought letters and qualifications were the holy grail and something to be sought after. They don't make the slightest bit of difference in the end, at least as far as making money goes! just people you wouldn't want to employ/associate with at all. Unless you want your budgets run up (perhaps why so many governmetn people are in there) inter alia

So yes i've gone very anti-acamdemia of late, because they don't teach s**t, and i resent the years i've wasted bowing to people like that, and  actually have to waste time "loosing" the british conditioning, the relgious schooling, so you can actuallt start thinking for yourself as an indivudal again, at which point you take one look at people like that, and get anoyed, as I can't deal with them anymore, that life is so yesterday, and  they are worse then children, every one!

In the meantime, i've actually stripped on camera to get my numbers up again, a freebee! (apear to be doing this a lot for women of late)  in order to get some interest again... the things we do for love, and business as I have no help from goverment, and will probably die before I see the light of day. as on the one hand its nice knowing you turn a women on, but on the other, i need money again! so yes they are exploiting me again ;) and don't i love it... *sigh*

On and off, some advertising in the street - always good, and the odd psychic pick up, but nothing definite, or earth shattering yet, and so my notes/course have pretty much been left, as is. more people seem to know who I am, shout "thesextree" after me, but its all too slow.. .and time runs out. nothing coming in, and well lots going out, and any time i've brought with mortgages, respossession is that, time. as my other house isn't rented out yet! and i need to get it rented ASAP else i may not make christmas at all. anyone who want to rent a 3 bedroom semi in Usher moor, get in touch! as its available now. rent £425 a month. which is whats it been at for the last couple of years.

So yes perhaps i need to get back to the sex again? and or do something else instead, but what? as yes... I need critical mass, or someone else to post a news storey...

and i wished people would actually post profiles, which wern't negative at all, without swearing and stuff. the women are great, but some of the blokes are morons and seem to think pushing article 10,  is big and clever. as you have to tolerate their outburts, or censor them instead, which means you automatically censor freedom, and well its the ones who are trying it on, which anoy.  As i'm trying to help people open up, be themselves and well get laid, and you just get the impression that some people, can't post honest profiles of who they are! and use it as an  attack instead.

Note: I won't kick people off for speaking their mind/airing their views, but i will kick them off for fraud/misrepresentation as the very idea of a  male satanic hispanic goth,  hating all whites, and wanting to cut all dicks off appears to be a little far fetched if you ask me. technically I don't have proof, but it seems to be  more a deliberate attempt at trying to wind me up if you ask me,  i might have brought it if he said islam (or not satanic/goth), but all the other at all as the ratios/timing  seems too artifucal if you ask me. [jealouse boyfriend?] which is a shame - he will never get a date, and well the women are after dates, at least some of them are! as for some some reason women know what to do with profiles, and well blokes do not, and i've never figured that one out at all, but I guess you live and learn.

110 hit  and the tidying up of subscription stuff
08/august/09
the sex tree sign
6 of those sign up's were in one week, one of which involved me contacting a user on another site, after seeing clairvoyance of stigmata on my hand, and she joined, which was cool. more stuffs been added, mainly a new shopping basket as i gut the old way of doing tings and stick in multi-lin ecommerce ordering system (which is overkill for what i need now - its still not finished as i have yet to multilingualise as well) which in theory means i could offer more in future. in the meantime. i have coded the backend for winks, and stuck in membership levels, and i'm sure i've tidyed a lot of other stuff as well, such as is adult on status updates, adding rss feeds on the news bit and things like that, but i've since got distracted with london, and trying to argue my case for juducal review of council tax in the royal courts - so am not in the mood for anything now. (that may change) though I have lost track of what has, and what hasn't been done... more to come. shame i don't have my car - but i decided to upload the sign as there seems to be some confusion in london, with the police at what is legal, and what isn't, as people seem to scared of saying/doing anything down there... and i shouldn't have to be going yes you can, explaining article 10/11 to people, informing them of whats legal as they should know, and there is too much fear as is, anyway i am in a fowl mood since my hearing was ignored, as there appears to be no freedom anymore. and one women said her and 1000's others would be up for my breaking away from britian under article 15, 17 of the united nations decleration of rights, forming a union in alodial title, and a new government... as thats what i think its going to need to restore democracy, freedom in britian. i can't be arsed with the election idea, its flawed and only 16.2% of the country voted the last governmetn in, and well the entire system is so corrupt, that nothing would change anyway - hence my je suis roi stance here, as i hate being fobbed off. but at least i got the parliment is not the law comment off in court!
finally hit a 100 - and so it begins... nous esperez
08/July/09
pvc
I have finally got the chat rooms working, i have added a windows style start up bar, i have added the ability to search on virgins, the virgin tshirt and improved the tree. who slept with my ex button, and i think i may have tidyed some other stuff up, as well - not least the status stuff, and begun jugalling it around, added a spell check in places... and of course theres the inteligent search bit, and emails which get sent out, as i think i did that after the last lot *hard to say* and well, its the little things now, and well expanding the rest...

litigation issues continue, thesextree is fine, garethbowen.co.uk is fine, but i have issues with garethbowen.com which look as though i may get distracted with suing discountasp.net in the states over ownership - but that shouldn't distract from the site... 

A few minor issues with shared hosting - as some idiot keeps using all the connections in the pool, but other then that, it appears to be working fine, and well its just numbers and of course me tidying it up, adding to the code, and trying to get it looking/working right.... as i need to rewrite the blurb, and i added rounded corners as well...and the login screens changed, password validation (yesterday) and well a few minor things like that - as i am not going anywhere, and well my life is the site, till its big type thing... really anoyed, as i was trying to get the 100 sign up before the 3rd of july, but for some reason it stuck on 99, and i woundered if i'd broken it again..... (it hadn't) as its odd how you get them in spurts... things are looking up, and then you get a letter from the hsbc's solicitors threatening repossession action - which oh so puts a dampner on your day - as it distracts from busienss inter alia bon sur
it's my birthday and we hit 90 members, yipee..
03/June/09
pvc
not much to report - other then I've added more intelligent matching with friendship/enemy scores... though I haven't stuff the search in yet as their seemed little point as is, while the rest of my time is being spent in litigation as we have filed actions in the high court, and the court of appeal now... *sigh* and could well be filing  a law suit against hsbc as well though they might be filing against me as well inter alia...

while we negotiate other things such as our hosting as this is now in the process of going accross to the uk. (its cheaper) and i no longer have visa to ay for the states, and a money order went astray, which is why any uptime is good for now

in the meantime  i continue to expand my notes on the psychic side as well, in the meantime, i have no money to buy food - hsbc reduced my overdraft without telling me on the 2nd, and i only found on the 5th june, when payments were declined, and yes the bastards are charging me £25 for everything they let through/consider - so its back to having no money for food inter alia, which is why my main focus is now keeping the site running... and the only "good" thing to happen on my birthday other then hitting 90, was a water bill for -5 units (the quater) as the mockery of random billing, on water meters continues... [they range from -5 to 108 units and are trying to get £299 out of me currently, while i default on everything still]  and i got thrown out of a club as well, within 5 mins of walking in, because a women knocked my coke over, and it sucked!  and part of me woudners if my entire life is no going to be spent in litigation instead of coding, from now on *sigh* one is easy, the other is just a pain - as i hate filing/writting up the grounds as it inevitably involves staying up all night, to hit the deadlines inter alia and thats it for now, while i sort this lack of cash bit out...
80 members hit...
30/April/09
the 2nd version of my anti roberta sign
Its getting painful and i've started a court case against the council inter alia as well as standing in the rain with a sign, a couple of signs, and well i had to redo one after a drunk catholic (age 50) ripped it out my hand and threw it off the bridge, after getting upset about asylum/freedom of movement of workers unprovoked and i didn't press charges because he had got a cation for assaulting a christian preacher on palace green, and well as a satanic witch and because i liked him as he was ok sobre i decided to take the unusual choice of letting him off, strupid i know to take the high ground as I rub salt in christian hypocrisy... and most of my stuff is going on the law though i did add sms and twitter functionality, so you can now update your status by phone, as well as sharing your bills - i.e. food spend/transport todate as its topical at the moment, and i also added the periodic table, as i expanded my science notes... link off the research section as i am leaving it till it catches on, or someone says what they want to see... and i was stuck on 79 for ages, grrrrrrrrrrrrr and if i had the cash i would run - assuming i can sort out the technicalies out...."the antichrist rises"
70 Membership started, then errr stalled, as i look to get it going again..
Date: 16/01/2009 pvc We hit 68 members then stalled, and not sure what happened. or why... tried to get it moving again, and started making it multilingual thank a Chinese bird, on Christmas eve for that one! have i broken it? or something, and i haven't even sold anything in the shop yet either, much to my annoyance. can you believe the b*stards actually illegally detained me because of my belief set, back in the end of October

Bloody  Christians they accused me of knowing the law! and used the fact my shop/human rights product line as an excuse! talk about dodgy, as not one of them seemed to have heard of European law, and well i am back! and stronger then ever, in fact i would say my programming is better then ever, and have been finding more support in china of all places.

In the meantime it would seem that the dictionary definition of stupid should equal Christian. While Christianity should read "a terrorist organisation, intent on persecuting those with knowledge while trying to force people into submission at the point of a sword.  kneel and serve in their image, or die at the stake" and should be declared outlaw by the civilised world, as I've had enough of them, just because you prove them wrong,  they resort to fear. its worse then Darwin, as not one of them can function in intelligent debate, and  their counterpart in Islam is nearly as bad, worse then children the lot of em!

Seems the British are so negative, anyway that explains the reason for being able to define the languages you can speak (china), and the reason why the backend now supports other character sets as i am learning chinese, as at least they have common sense over there!

and it perhaps goes someway to explaining the reason for my catch phrase changes: so far it's been social networking for the liberal mind, connecting the world in/through love, and now the place where language doesn't matter which about sums up my belief set... and in the meantime, someone ought to round up all the chrisitans for mental incompetance, as the really are blind to the obvious, as i contemplate writting my research up (again!)
Membership stalled, and it's beginning to pick up again...
Date: 05/10/2008 pvc we hit 60 on 06/09/2008 and we hit 63 on 04/10/2008. In the meantime bugs have been sorted, functionality added like questionnaires and ithe sites gone more down  a political route. Plus I've added www.thdevillived.co.uk film script and moved my research on, and even started my manifesto (see research section) url forwarded to the papacy, but as yet no response, from the Vatican. does no one answer their mail? in the meantime just give me a yell and tell me what you want, as i reflect on the irony of tracking down, and getting a very early ex on here... who has still failed to link with me.

oh yeah, strip poker mock up was done back in april, straight after temptations, though may wait till we gain some interest there, as its not been used yet...  much like the tarot readers, which could do with being extend as well, but again depends on the interest we recieve
53 hit, over the weekend, not sure if the toggled off ones count. (guess they do)
Date: 19/03/2008 pvc ok it's Wednesday and three accounts are toggled off (ones a dead guy) so the running total's changed slightly.  

  So it's full registration's from here on in, more info in the stats.
I've been adding functionality. journal's are now tracked, comments are to the front, bit like rival sites, and  we even have astrology, and the tarot on their.
rewriting huge sections, so it's getting bigger, better and brighter and well the more suggestions the more i respond.

you can also toggle privacy on/off as well as hiding deactivating from public searches. 

so keep it coming folks, as it's all just image from here on in, and the rest is easy. 

Right as for the psychic stuff, I've learnt to push it back/relax and ignore it. some of it's useful, which means I'm a machine once again, unless they get too chatty. so the eight of swords, thanks to my brilliant design i can mimic, expand and improve on any of the others, so bring it on. buys and girls. 

 Incidentally I've figured out some of the rules, on vitriol.  but you have to be on the site - to find those ones out. My journals give too much  away, to registered members of course, and frankly ignorance is bliss, so i wouldn't worry. there, there, my child nothing to worry about. Ignore it, and it shall go away ;) *patting you on the head, in a patronising tone, while I'm at it*

merchandising rights, premium rate phone lines,  and any other ideas would be of extreme interest to me right now. as well as finding a publisher, to offer the apple of knowledge too.

if i had the cash, i would start a magazine, and run for office. those women have annoyed me, i checked their voting records. it's twiddle dee, or twiddle dum, the twits, and well not sure any one of them understand the law, and/or the meaning of intent. bad poetry, even vogon poetry shouldn't be an arrestable offence. hello 1984, anyone hear me? gues not,  and besides shouldn't every good Englishmen know how the enemy thinks, ergo no one should be arrested for knowing how to do something! ever! article 10.  the art of war, baby, the art of war! i morn, what ever happened to intelligence the lowly lower house, is well just so lowly and incompetent I'm amassed we haven't had a revolution. what next arresting lappers that's the gathering out, oh now, he has a pen, arrgh quick raid the fridge.. been there, done, that. and isn't that why Jefferson and that lot, revolted?  you want, a target, go for the police, no one writes anything up straight.  the micky mouse transcripts in the press are a joke, and well, come on people.

it's speech! freedom of speech, to exert ones voice. so with that  my opposition still sticks, the MOJ is blind, to justice and is getting a blow job at it, so they can suck my cock, in the wank for freedom campaign, what ever will mr lumus think. ooops, guess the boats been rocked, silence now, beware people need to wake up sooner or later, to what's going on around them!

liberty matters, freedom too, and we're flushing it down the toilet restriction after restriction, as not one of these politicians knows what a real man could do with those laws, it's the one exception, and well intent passed by only one vote, in the terrorist act, a subtle difference, and one which could hang the world. or anyone who goes anywhere near a sharp implement, stick or anything else for that matter.  so you better hope the ECj walkes up, and overturns the lords, if not we are well and truly screwed!
the irony, Europe is our last and only last line of defence the charter of fundamental human rights, to stop a totalitarian regime, which is labour gone mad, and the rest of the parties are no better. no way i want that restrict lib dem bith in either

*** ATTENTION PEOPLE ***

i want ron, and i want a government with over 51% of the countries vote, this is democracy, and the illusion is sadly lacking, people aren't stupid, well actually they are, shafted again! and i want education to be free, at the higher levels, knowledge is power, and frankly the sheep need education, desperately  tempting isn't it. the apple of thought!
40 is hit, at the top, and my will is written - lilith gets it all, divided by the rest who sign up next to me, (my sex links, not yours ;))
Date:31/12/2007 pvc Not sure what to say, Now have a world globe gone more the legal, and international law route, and expanded my writtings, int philosophy love and politics. i wrote sword on an impulse from the jealous bitch upstairs, for she never did forgive, so i i am the beast for love, yet that is pan and nature, more inside, but i worry about the apathy of the world, and my unfinished letter to pope is on display in the articles section.

Not like anyone is open minded enough to learn anything new or are they? knight of swords, and I'm not sure i can be bothered humouring the nitwits in the lower house, or anywhere else for that matter, oh i forgive google for correcting their mistake, then they removed me again, so they are no better/worse on censorship.
However  wikipedia continue to censor me, so hypocritical wankers the lot of , actualy perhaps its more accurate to say I am, but mines in a good cause, not suppression, like theres.(the latter helps, maybe?) 

My Mithras's Christmas Birthday/ new year message:

should be to end the blockade and free the world from censorship


( and perhaps editing other peoples work, and focus on sharing knowledge, and leading people into temptation, to
grow as people, and learn the love the beast has to offer, etc, etc...)

So my intent, and strategy, remain the same, to stand for president, or die to make a point, that censorship is wrong. freedom matters, and it's all in the links. Shhhh says Angel Gabriel, actually it was all there idea. ;)
uphill progress, the tortoise begins to move
Date:07/11/2007 pvc upto 30 members, figured out more of the clairvoyance, and holographic imagery Learnt never to rent a house out to people you date. Have a t-shirt though some debate about the text for the back. added more writing to the site. never do a pres release while drunk, i believe i wasn't that complementary Speaking your mind, also seems to upset people, still have a habit of uploading things in anger, as the sensations keep trying to correct me.
bloody annoying trying to appeal to everyone. seems one one one works best, though even then couldn't get it on the back of a beer mat and broke the debaters in the pub. they lost it and started shouting. if you don't want to know you shouldn't ask! close-mindedness is something you and you alone can deal with it, so admit to knowing nothing and give it a try.  If i switch modes in writing its purely accidental so i apologise to those i offend,  actually i don't they should look in the mirror of the soul and deal with it.
What To Do Next?
Date:13/10/2007 pvc 23 members and it's proved a bit of a damp squid. Slow to Start. I seem to be using it more as a platform to draw my research on psychic and spiritual development, philosophy and democracy into a single book. Notes in the article section. 
Really weird trying to work on a site as I get too much distracting imagery psychic sensations. So i shall care no more. and leave it up to the users, if they want functionality then I will offer it, if not we shall wait and see.
In the meantime my journal carries more hints and tips hidden throughout the site, perhaps i should draw together my notes and offer a course instead. Toying with the idea of letting people upload articles and share independent thought, before it becomes a misnomer in this part of the world. Again interests or do we fall to the lowest of the low offering full frontal sex video's in order to tempt the imagination. perhaps phone.  Could do anything, the pleasure sensations make it hard to focus though. hehe Perhaps i should outsource it, and instruct from  afar lol
Double figures reached
Date:03/6/2007 pvc 10 members reached. 7 women, 3 men. This is a 1000% increase in two weeks. Will have to declare myself a tantric sex god at this rate if the others don't get a move on.  The idea to get a research grant to study sexual interaction has been banded about. Perhaps we can find out how many degrees sexually separate us all....  - Gothiclight
Day 1
Date:18/5/2007 pvc Members total = 1. It begins I send out initial invites for user acceptance testing. - Gothiclight
Beta testing commences
Date:11/5/2007 pvc After three extensive weeks of development I'm hoping the initial functionality is nearly at a point where  I can start letting people on here. Official launch date is 2nd June. - Gothiclight
