32834 is such an impersonal number don't you think?
I would have much prefered something like 32802 or even 28769 would have done. Oh well.
I guess I probably should say something about myself here, but I doubt anyone is really going to be bored enough to read it.
Just in case, I'm prepared to reveal that I'm interested in juggling and like playing around with kites. I've also been known to unicycle, but not for very long! I've been reading (and doing the odd bit of writing for) H2G2 on and off since the original Tomorrows World launch and I'd still continually amazed by the quality of articles people submit on a voluntary basis. With mobile devices starting to now reach the level of technology required for a real-life Hitchhikers Guide, it's a good job we'll have some entries to put in it when it's here! By the way, this page looks much nicer in Goo
No, I'm not a Cabby, it's actually short for Cabbageii, which was my character name on an old MUD called Shades which used to run as part of the Viewdata Micronet service, back before all this new-fangled web malarky. It subsequently came along with me onto Gods1 and Drealm2 and now onto H2G2. Of course, how I ended up with Cabbageii is another story entirely...
While you're here, why not head off somewhere else ;-) and have a look at my new website? It looks at predictions , lottery predictions and has a number of ways of predicting the future. It's even got articles on Nostradamus and Astrology amongst other things.
Find out what the future holds for today, as predicted by the mighty 'Chien Tung' Fortune Sticks! Click here to part the mists of tomorrow...3

At one point in my life I was convinced I was going to be a writer. This could well indicate that it was a good thing I wasn't counting on it!
These are mostly here for my own benefit, but feel free to use them! | I've also just become a Sub, joining with these fine people... | and here are the entries I've subbed which have made it into the guide this far | | |

3 If I haven't got around to updating this, the mists of tomorrow may well seem very similar to the mists of yesterday and indeed today. The management makes no claims for the correctness of any information imparted by the 'Chien Tung'. Actual future may differ from that predicted. No animals were harmed in the making of this prediction. Future events are closer than they appear. Open packet before consuming.

Welcome to this Researcher's Journal. If you'd like to comment on anything they have written here, just click the relevant 'Discuss this Entry' button. Prophesy and prediction
(Aug 22, 2005)
I've been working on a new website of my own over the last few weeks. I was discussing pseudoscience, prophesy, fortune-telling and suchlike with a friend one evening and we got onto the fact that you get lots of seers and futurologists making predictions ever year but then not really looking back at them after the event (unless of course they came true!). We thought that there should be a inpartial place to store predictions and then let the people at large decide which ones came true or not. Hence http://www.icanseethefuture.com was born!
You can view predictions other users of the site and professional seers have made and mark how well they have done. There's also an attempt to pick next weeks lottery numbers there and a few articles on the history of prediction and the people involved.
Still got a bit more work to do on it, but it's good coding practice if nothing else!

Back again
(May 20, 2004)
Well, I'm back again with a new name. Seems Cabby is too short and so Cabbyii is born! Strange how my online nicknames seem to end up getting wiped by systems. My original character, Cabbage on Shades ended up getting wiped in the database reboot, giving birth to Cabbageii, so I guess there's some sense of history repeating itself there.
Been a while since I've popped in. Real life getting in the way there I guess. Wonder what's changed...

Dublin/U2
(Aug 28, 2001)
Well I'm back!
Had a great time in Dublin. Concert was superb.
Got to Slaine by about 12:30, having spent the morning trudging through the rain to be greeted by bright sunshine for the afternoon  . Saw Relish, JJ72, Coldplay and the Chilli Peppers (who really got the crowd going. The sight of several thousand people spinning their tops over their heads like helicopters is amazing!).
Slaine continued to fill up till about 8:30, when 'The Boys are back in town' burst out over the PA to begin to warm everyone up (U2 last played Slaine Castle 20 years ago, when they supported Thin Lizzy). That was mild compared to the reaction when they came on stage to 'Elevation' however and things just got better from there! 
Having seen U2 before (on the Zoo-TV and Pop-Mart tours) I know what sort of a reaction they get when they play 'When the Streets have no name', but it was nothing compared to seeing 80,000+ people getting ready to explode when they launched into it on Saturday. It was an amazing atmosphere.
Bono dedicated the concert to his father, who sadly had died that week, and, in a very emotional moment, thanked God for taking away his Dad's old sick body and giving him a bright shiny new one, before playing 'One' in his memory.
Has to be a contender for the best concert I've been too. Amazing stuff.

U2
(Aug 22, 2001)
Only a couple of days to go now until I'm off to a, hopefully sunny, Dublin to see U2 play Slaine Castle!
Should be a really good weekend. I've seen them a few times before, but never in Ireland. Hopefully all the hassle spent getting tickets will be worth it
As has been said many times before, "Rock and roll!"
