message query for popex

Good to hear from you

I have just been thinking about popex again recently, and how much easier it would be to make it so much better with all the knowledge I have now! Bah, Channelfly still own the rights to it, though they have no intention of doing anything with it as ...

Popex throwback

Hi Paul,

You won't remember me from within the 150,000 users but I can remember getting the odd email directly from you!!

My name is Mike Nash, just thought i'd say thanks for the memories!

I must have something more interesting to write about than php?

Um, no, perhaps not.I got a new hard drive at last, after all the problems I had with the ibook and having to send it back, I didn't rush into getting another backup job, but I saw a bargain at Maplin Seagate 500GB FreeAgent, and it seems to be worki...

Gah

Just investigating my amazon referral fees, seeing why I've not earned anything in about a year... this month my referral earnings are MINUS four pounds twenty-seven. Seems someone bought this camera last month, KERCHING, that's about a tenner commis...

Black Monday

Stop selling everyone, and you the news, stop telling people how bad it is, it's just making the ill informed small investors like me worry more, and sell, and exacerbate the problem. The market is only about as low as it was in mid August right now,...

My recommended events

Cool, just discovered my recommended events at last.fm, and I see loads of bands that I like or liked in the past are playing live about now, including bands that I didn't really know were still going, including Love / Hate, Sheep on Drugs, Ricky Spo...

My gigography

Just done some fiddling about on the site, rearranged the gigography a tiny bit. Now, first time you go there the big boring explanation of what it's all about should still appear at the top of the page. BUT, here's the clever bit, if you then click ...

RE: Ooh, also watching

There you go mentioning popex again ! See what channelfly want for the code. I'm sure we can have a whip-round !

Ooh, also watching

Heroes, new series is great, even despite the rubbish "English" and "Irish" accents... where did they get these people?Nice, that link to Heroes shows up lots of very old posts from the days of popex, my "heroes and villains of the year", from whatev...

I didn't sign up

I miss popex too! I had about eight years of doing very little except going to gigs, listening to music and chatting with you guys, now I'm having to work quite hard! How about you, the radio station still going? I am a bit involved in something laun...

Don't believe the hyple?

Quite. That site looks suspiciously empty, I don't think much of their terms and conditions or privacy policyeither. A knobber door is doubtful, a front for a spammer perhaps?Did you give them your email addresses chaps ? They're just trying to take...

Don't believe the hyple!

AS chum Stu says You'd think someone would have had this idea before...

(Yes, this is another reference to popex)

Boo, just found this Amy Winehouse message from 3 years ago

Not only was she a clean living newcomer to the world of pop then, but she'd just bigged up popex in an interview on that webwise column. Looks like the BBC update that page by hand, and they've not kept a complete archive of all the celebs they inte...

Amy Winehouse (aged 14) in The Fast Show

Nice one www.popbitch.com.Just found this post from 2004 regarding Amy Winehouse (and I'm sure there's more in the archive), where I was whooping with glee because she bigged up my website in an interview with the BBC. It's not archived on the webwis...

Programming is a poetry for our time

A fairly new song up on MJ Hibbett's youtube channel, not actually a new song, nor actually even new to youtube as it's been up there for a few days already, but hey I've not seen it and you probably haven't either, so let's pretend it's all new and ...

RE: A new version of popex?

Ah, the good old days. It's a shame the peeps who bought the game didn't release it to the world for free.

Bring back Pooex!

A new version of popex?

I thought someone had launched a new version of popex when I heard about this new product:No I didn't. However, I did wonder if something was being stirred up when I saw search results for popex travels over there in the sidebar -->Guessing it's peop...

RE: Top 100 best popex players

Oh, it's cos I've got my login info saved in Opera and it's saved that title too. It'll happen again when I post too. I'll see if I can change it.

RE: Top 100 best popex players

Ha! That's pretty impressive. I like it when you get to the end and see what effect that amount of excitment has had on his brain!

Motley Crue play Hammersmith

If it wasn't a Monday night, I might go to this, 11th June at Hammersmith Odeon, it's Motley Crue. In fact a Tuesday night wouldn't be good either, nor any day from Sunday back round to Friday again are out. If they move this gig to a Saturday, and i...

Cheers, I fixed it now I think

What the hell's that old popex post about???

RE: Top 100 best popex players

This ain't no technological breakdown

This is the road to V. Back in the day I would have posted a link there on popex, because someone somewhere was getting paid for it, but this time I'm posting that link because an old chum from work is the singer in that band, so go listen to his tun...

RE: Nice pic

I won an Popex t-shirt once and it now takes pride of place in one of my drawers, probably at the back.

Nice pic

Bah, I forgot to do the final challenge before I went away last week. Oh well. I once won a prize on Popex. Didn't acually get a physical one, but the mention in the email & the promise of one was more than enough!How is the rurual working working ? ...

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

No posts for a few days, I had something to say but wanted to wait until I got an official confirmation and things. Yes I'm back in the land of the permanently employed, just arranged some final details today and I start at Holiday Extras on Monday! ...

RE:

Zombie squirrel, like it.Yep. Shame no-one was willing to make the same kind of investment in popex. Perhaps you should suggest to Google that they buy the rights from Channelfly & hire you as head programmer (host the code on a decent machine).. Do ...

Really bad and sad news about Paul Hunter, he was only 27 and had just become a dad, should have known things were very serious when his ranking was frozen earlier this year, that's an unusual move, though we really thought and hoped he'd recover.Als...

Who tickets

Tickets for The Who, at the Roundhouse, Camden, 29th October, doing some sort of rock opera it seems, part of a whole week of hot gigs there called BBC Electric Proms. Good work Nic P in getting tickets for Damon Albarn's thing the following day... T...
