This site is completely pointless.

Just about anything important that I have to say can be found at Just Too Good, my PC Resource. JTG is an information resouce, aimed at both newbies and geeky technophiles alike. Thus, whether you're relatively new to PCs or an experienced user who's in need of some specialist knowledge, then this is the place to go. JTG also hosts an ever more popular technology forum where visitors can post questions and take part in IT debates.

So why does DeRailed exist? Basically, this site is a dumping ground for all the stuff that doesn't really belong in JTG. Therefore there's a lot of stuff about me (as if you care) and the things I like doing. Notably, there's the Martial Arts area which has been taken out of JTG due to it's complete lack of relevence to computer systems! I may also add a Tenpin Bowling section soon.

You'll also find my CV here. I'm an IT professional and have been in full time employment for a long time. Even so, I always have time for side projects or web developments.

This pointless bulletin has been brought to you by:

... That in JTG I make reference to how a website should have a point, with useful content that will appeal to a significant audience? Indeed, this is what a website is all about. If this important rule isn't satisfied, then you've managed to successfully waste a large portion of your time.

And thus, this website can be considered a sponge for wasted time (that I can ill-afford).

What's also ironic is that the Alanis Morissette song, Ironic, has very little to do with irony and much more to do with really crappy luck. For example:

It's like rain on your wedding day

That's not ironic. It might have been, had the wedding day been changed at short-notice due to an unfavourable weather report for the original day (which, by the way, turned out sunny).

A traffic jam when you're already late

Again, not really ironic, but certainly predictable. Of course, it would have been ironic had you been late for a traffic congestion planning meeting.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

That's not ironic. That's just STUPID. Why would anyone have ten thousand spoons? Unless they drink a lot of tea and don't like washing up. Like me. But of course, it could be that you're a bit slow-witted, and wanted a knife to open the lid of your paint tin. But you could only find ten thousand spoons. What's ironic is that a spoon would no-doubt have done the job. But like I said, that's not really irony. It's stupidity.
