• A month with no posts

    Well, it’s been over a month since I last posted. I guess I’ve been really busy. So here’s a quick summary of what’s been going on:

    1) I turned 29 years old (on the 18th June for anyone that wants to send a card next year)
    2) I fixed a bug on the layout of this site that hid the summary text in firefox but not in internet explorer
    3) I’ve been going to Air Cadets every Friday and several Tuesdays
    4) I’ve managed to write some code that processes some supplier data into a useful format for our business system (eventually that will make us more efficient)
    5) I’ve done some templates for Todd’s business web site
    6) I’ve been running (Dave bought me entry into a 5Km run for my birthday, and I’ve been out at least once if not twice a week running at least 12km a week, and this week around 15km so far. The race is on Sunday).
    7) I read a book (A Douglas Reeman seafaring novel I picked up in a second hand bookshop in Faversham).

    Of course, there are still a few things on my to do list like:
    1) Get some more photos of James and Nicola and organise them a bit better on my laptop. Print a few and put them up round the house.
    2) Find some more stories on project guttenburg to read on my Palm organiser
    3) Do some more on Todd’s templates
    4) Update some of the supplier price data at work
    5) Remember to post here occasionally 🙂
    6) Write another song or two, book more guitar lessons

    Still, life is good. Wonder how fast I’ll run the 5km on sunday?


  • Running Rooties

    Thanks to brother Dave, I seem to have caught the running bug. Now, whether I get up to Dave’s level remains to be seen (probably not likely now he’s an accomplished marathron runner!), but with the warmer weather I’ve quite enjoyed running up and down Boughton Hill. Keeping the running kit in the car has meant I’ve been able to stop at one new place this week – I ran across the top of the North Downs (those are a range of hills that run across Kent for distant readers) over Folkstone the other evening. My longest running record so far! 17 minutes may not sound like much to many of you, but it’s and improvement on my 12 minute maximum the previous week.


  • If it's quiet here – I'm busy!

    If it seems rather quiet on these pages lately it’s simply because I’ve been busy doing other things. Things like getting electronic data from suppliers and working out the code to reformat their data into something my systems will read. Things like the boughton 10 run which not only have “Roots” agreed to sponsor, we sort of ended up helping with the administration and processing of the ‘somewhere near’ 600 expected entries.

    I am still here, and will eventually finish off the half done posts currently hidden from your view. I may even get round to fixing some of the CSS display bugs I’ve noticed.

    Oh well, back to work.
