Networking 101

Last night was a fun filled little gem, I was talked into attending a networking for networks seminar, or something like that. To be honest I always thought networking was a peice of CAT5 cable, turns out networking is also talking to other people about they could not really care less about! What a strange evening, 40 odd people all doing the business card shuffle and presenting themselves and...

Pimp My Ride

It was time to pimp out my ride! Lucy and I have been sitting there thinking about my upcoming ride and the condition of my bike. So we opted to put some shiny things on the bike and make sure it would last the journey. I knew I needed a new chainset, at least some rings, the standard Shimano 105 chain rings are nasty and already they were looking like little sharks teeth. The option I was...

Brighter days

Today saw the first bit of sunshine in quite a while. So much so I put on my shorts and tee and decided to take a quick trip down the tracks around here. It was still wet under the trees but it was nice to feel the sun on my back. So much so I suggested to Lucy that we hit the road for a bit. It was the first time Lucy had ridden her new bike for any distance but the sun really does it...

welcome back

It has taken a while to sit down and write this post, but we are back from a extended holiday week end on the north Norfolk coast. We were camping in a small village called East Runton, which is just outside Cromer. Mental note if any one ever mentions the idea of camping on a Easter week end, tell them where to go; it’s bloody...

Give me the gift of time

Do you ever sit there and think there are not enough hours in the day? How will I get everything I have planned to do done? At present it just feels like my plate is overflowing with things that need to get done. Along with the usual work flow, general day to day business and training tonight I’ve got to put together the April edition of the local cycling club’s newsletter. Somewhere I also need...

Paris-Roubaix

Lucy recorded the Paris-Roubaix cycle race for me today as I was; as usual out on my bike. What a race it turned out to be, World Champion and favorite for the win, Tom Boonen, was not on top form and let Fabien Cancellara of CSC slip away at the end to take victory. But for me the biggest let down of the race was to see Big George Hincapie take a tumble and really knock himself up. Looking at...

Ahh Miss Croft, you're back.

Tomb Raider has been around for w while, in fact Lara Croft is now the largest selling female character of all time, but recently is has been a bit of a let down. The original Tomb Raider, which I first played on a PlayStation (the big bulky grey thing) and it was something else. A woman, raiding tombs, in hot pants, with guns, what a strange combination but it was a formula for success. This was...

Time to reboot

A lot of sites I visit have changed their looks recently and it might have something to do with the upcoming Spring Reboot, or it’s just a popular time to code! I did think about entering the Reboot a while back, when I first started working on my new theme. But at the time I sat there thinking my new look will be finished way before the May 1st deadline, so I went against my first plan. How wrong...
