Get Naked

Today is CSS Naked Day, so stripe off your style sheets and show us your naked metadata. Quite a few of my regular reads have followed suite and it sure is strange to see the unformatted sites out there. Update: Well I’m glad that is over, it was getting a bit cold in...

Oblivion

To be honest I’m not a vast fantasy RPG fan, worrying about leveling up on your shoelace tieing skill does not float my boat but you could not ignore the hype that surrounded Oblivion IV: The Elder Scrolls. So I picked up a copy to see what all the fuss was about. As usual the limited edition version was all sold out so I settles for the standard version and went on home ready to be...

My Own Personal Best

Yesterday was another one of those cycle runs out to the coast, we have been trying to do these every other week end as means of building up the base milage. My problem is that this run always ends up totalling around the 80 mile region, I really want to break the 100 mile mark, just so I know I can do it. So this time I convinced Dave to start from my house rather than his (nothing to do with a...

Giant Glory

Reading through the news I came across this article from BikeMagic about the new Giant Glory downhill machine. For one it is a stunning colour and the components are pretty nifty, but just look at this picture of the gusset work and link detail. I used to ride a Box One many moons ago and this just takes me...

The week that wasn't

The last week I have been away with the fairies, in more ways than it sounds. My head has not been with it and I’ve forgotten how to commuicate in a known language. To which sorry to any one who has tried to contact me or expected me to do something and I never showed or replied. Now on this clearer Monday morning I have had the time to reflect, or rather the common sense to remove my head from my...

The PS3 low down

The last few weeks have been ripe with news of the PS3 launch date so here are some details just in case you were a bit confused: It will be launched in November this year; yep 2006. They are planning a Worldwide launch; good luck! 6 million units in the first year; financial year or our standard 12 months. 60gb Hard drive included; good move. Backwards compatible with all Playstation games; Well...

The Aliens have left the building

It looks like the coolest and quite possibly the only PC I would invest in has been sold to Dell. Please, please, please do not mess with the recipe Dell, Alienware machine’s are in a class of their own, keep your black budget boxes away from...

Give me my feeds

Since starting this whole blogging thing I’ve grown more and more addicted to RSS feeds. For those of those of you not familiar try this link. The whole idea of getting a email like link of your most visited sites or blog’s is great, so much easier than going through your favorites and checking each one. The problem I’m finding is keeping those lists updated or inline with each other, better yet...

Where are you?

Today is the first day of Spring, well according to the not so risky calendar in my office, I miss dirty work environments with dirty calendars, I mean how much does she really know about pneumatics and that can not be Union issued work ware. Sorry, any way back to the point of this. It should be the first day of Spring but does it feel like Spring? Not quite, the weather is still brisk with the...

Happy St. Patricks Day

Being Irish I will of course will be celebrating St. Patricks day with a few pints of the dark stuff. Yes I am Irish. I was born in that not so well known part of Ireland called Suffolk. Ok so I’m not Irish but I’m up for any excuse on a pint of...
