I’m such an easy target for sales people. Part of the requirements laid down by my friends for this years Whitby is I get some proper black boots. So this lunchtime I dutifully ambled down to the Army Surplus store on Tibb Street to purchase some second hand army boots. Seeing the price difference between [...]

Red Shoes
I brought a new pair of shoes yesterday. As with the last pair I went to Up and Running. Previously my gait was analysed by a nice lady on her hands and knees staring at me from behind. They now have a digital camera hooked up to the PC with some fancy software. My old [...]
Nottage
I went down to Nottingham on Saturday for Cheryl’s party. As it’s also my brothers hometown it gave me a chance to catch up with him. After a little discussion about CSS and website styling we headed down (or rather up the steep hill) to the party. The party was a fun affair full of [...]
Damn Virus
I hate colds. I seem to be suffering a string of the infernal viruses this year which is really getting in the way of my training. Certainly it’s making it very hard to drag myself out of bed in the morning for my runs. I can go to the gym in the evenings but it’s [...]
New Geek Toy
I only noticed Desk Bar when I was installing Ubuntu on my new work machine. It’s dam useful. It provides pretty much everything I wanted from Beagle plus an easy way to launch all sorts of queries and applications. I particularly like the way it integrates with your del.icio.us bookmarks. It has now found it’s [...]
Weekend Report
I managed to fit a lot into my London weekend. The journey down was uneventful aside from my dribbling nose which still seems to be some sort of hay-fever related thing. As I left later in the day I decided some recreational hacking was in order so I spent it tweaking my shell customisations and [...]
Is it hay time already?
I had real difficulty getting to sleep last night. I’m not sure if it was the wine at the meal or if I’m coming down with another lurgy. By 6am I decided to give up and got up early and headed into work. I spent most of the day fighting with X and the dual [...]
Hitting Goals
As Lee noticed by how early I logged on I went for a run this morning. However I was running the risk of working another late stint this evening so I was glad when some work colleagues invited me out for a swift drink down Sinclairs. In a bid to ensure I get up early [...]
Maelfroth
We were very lucky with the weather over the long weekend for Maelstrom. I had headed down on Thursday to join Fliss who was preparing her colony camp site. This gave us plenty of time to enjoy the weather while putting up the tents before time-in on Friday. The Easter event is the longest one [...]
Maelstrom
It’s turned sunny. I’m seeing Fliss in a few hours at Maelstrom. I think I’ve packed everything. Life is good
