Creativity, curiosity, and code
Wow – a week since my last post – you can tell I’m back at work. Things I’ve discovered: Tetrapak’s can be recycled…HOORAY!!! Facebook is a grown-up version of MySpace and, despite my initial scepticism, is quite cool – it even imports Blog posts from Blogger. I’m finding my work quite a struggle at the […]
A few things… Sally’s back after a weekend away – yay! I’m back at work tomorrow – have to see how things go. Rode 14.8 KM (9.2 miles) in the gym yesterday – does that count?
Had a very good Christian Aid Week service at church this morning. Lots of good use of CA’s resources and an interesting sermon based on Luke 7:36-50 – the story of a woman, probably a prostitute, worshipping Jesus by pouring expensive perfume over his feet. The key thing I took away was the need for […]
Techie note really. I’ve had a couple of video editing projects on hold, waiting for a tool that will convert the 3gp files I get from my mobile phone into a format that I can edit. I don’t want to have to pay anything to do this, so the projects have been set aside waiting […]
Is it strange coincidence? Or are Google having a laugh? They launch Google Maps for Mobile in the UK on the day that Tony Blair announces that he will resign. The mocked up “screen shot” on Google’s homepage shows “Downing Street – Press 1 for options”. Ho ho…
Bother my brain… After several very good days of feeling pretty normal I had a very frustrating day on Monday (it involved 2 printers, one powerpoint document, and lots of paper and ink). I suspect that this was just a normal frustrating day but I started to get all knotted up inside again and lost […]
So the little ones (the blackbirds – must give them names or something) are learning to fly still. Got a couple of snaps of them today but only with my phone so they’re not so good quality. Here’s daddy on feeding duty…
Catching up with the BBC guy training for his 120 mile cycle ride. There’s some really useful comments on sports nutrition posted to the article…see here. I particularly like the fact that there’s a website called flapjackrecipe.com! 🙂 Here’s some of my experience with eating proper for sport. Discovering Nutrition! My first encounter with basic […]
Fun today! The little baby blackbirds decided to leave the nest. And so with much tweeting, flapping, and crashing they’re down on the ground in the garden. One of them, I think, flew into the window. I went to look and he was peering up at me! I then tried to take a photo, scared […]
Went out for a ride by myself this afternoon. Managed 21.24 miles in 1:24:31, averaging 15.0 mph overall. A good ride but my knees hurt a bit – probably beacause I’ve not been doing my stretches while I’ve not been cycling to work – must keep that up even when I’m not doing a daily […]
