Living without wires

The start of this post was going to be all about the sudden interest into ‘mobile’ web and hardware. The availability of wireless products has made it easier for us to connect to the digital world, it has radically changed my world already. At present I’m writing this from my iPaq while chilling in the bedroom and it suddenly struck me how much I now rely on a lack of wires! I walk into the house...

Life's Great when your full of

I really want to write snot but for the good of all others lets just say cold. For the last few days I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather but I thought I would soldier on in the best way as I had quite a busy week end planned. As most things in my life at present it was a very strong cycling based week end, the annual dinner of the Sudbury Cycle Club and then the first real event of the year,...

Hot on the heels of Billet comes Grey It’s my second style, something with a difference, I’m afraid it is not fully complete and is only offered in a Beta state, but due to work load I have not got the time to finish it, feel free to...

An iBook it is

Well after much time staring at the Apple web site I have finally decided to make up my mind. I’ve taken the plung and ordered a new 12inch iBook. Now I’m sure I am opening myself to the “you should have got a PowerBook!” or even now a MacBookPro comments. Well yes except for a few things, I could not buy a product called a MacBookPro and be taken seriously. Second, for the type of use, or more...

The call signs are set.

When Dave first mentioned about cycling from Lands End to John O’Groates I thought this would just be a flash in the pan idea, some thing that would be forgotten about in the build up to Christmas. I’m sure that was more hoping than thinking. Well now a couple of weeks down the line and this is by far dream, it is really going to happen. The date has been set; we leave Lands End on Monday the 5th...

A Cold Snap

At the week end I was standing in the garden tweeking my Marin wearing only just a t and thinking how good the weather was for January and how all the nah sayers had predicted a harsh winter. If I could go back and feel my fingers now I would. Yesterday the temperature on the way into work was -5c this morning it was slightly warmed at just under zero and the forecast is for more towards the...

Core Bike Show

Yesterday afternoon was taken as a jolly. In other words work got the boot and I spent the time traveling to the Core Bike Show. This event is a trade show for the major importers of all things cycling, so I had to take on the role of ‘Web Designer’ for LifecycleUK, despite the fact that Rob actually signed me up as office gimp! Matt (the only real employee of LifeCycle) was 'Mechanic’. Held in...
