I think I’ve mentioned online route planners before. I’m re-investigating them at the moment – amazing how quickly things move on. I currently log routes on Bikely. It’s fast, easy to use, does nice maps with commentary, and shows elevation profiles. I just looked again at MapMyRide but it’s slow, full of adverts, and though […]
One of my purposes of this blog is to write down things that I learn so that: 1) I can remember them.2) I can share them with others. Now, the following may be obvious to some. It is to me, now that I’ve messed up! It’s a little fact about washing clothes. IF you have […]
So, finally, here we are at song 4. I’ve been a bit lazy about it (it’s week 7, I think), but, frankly, I’ve had more important things to do. I’ve chosen this one because I mostly know it already – I just need to firm the words up in my head, get the order right, […]

Who knows when and by whom this is being read, but as I write there is a new little box in the top-right-hand corner of my blog showing something called “Twitter” updates. This is a little something I’ve been playing with and I want to explain why. A Brief History of Social Networking in the […]
One of the reason that we don’t like Swindon much is it doesn’t have much character or history or culture. Or so we thought! We were eating out the other night and ended up – for what reason I can’t remember – looking up Swindon on Wikipaedia. Turns out it has some quite impressive claims […]
