Seems that in the first week there’s been over 500 hits – which is pretty good. One of the reasons seems that google picked up on my mention of Illustrator CS. When I had a look at the stats, though there were lots of people who linked up from my emails. hey…don’t be afraid, leave a comment…what’s the worse that could happen?
Pixies Reunion
Seems we were lucky, but Garry and I have Pixies tickets for the Saturday night. Its a bit surreal, and the afternoon I heard about it, I kept getting emails from all the people I haven’t spoken to since, well…the last time I was listening to the Pixies.
After seeing Frank Black before Christmas, its going to be a gig and a half. He played Caribou, Cactus and…something else, but I can’t remember. Maybe it was a hint and what his intentions were. It does seem a bit of a backward step, The Catholics are a tight outfit, and The Breeders are excellent and established now in their own right, but who cares, bring it on.
St David’s Day
Sharon wouldn’t forgive me, if I didn’t give a little St David’s day shout out to everyone in Wales, particularly the Cardiff bunch. Better luck in the Rugby.
March banner
new banner
Thanks guys for the welcome. I’m still getting use to all of this. I thought that you might like a banner so that those of you with bonafide websites can link to me (and I to you – down at the bottom.) So please grab the above banner if you please. I think I might have a bit of fun with a constantly changing logo design. It’ll mean I get to muck about with new styles and try stuff out, and keeps it all from being too dull. I’m sure there’s a design term for a constantly shifting corporate style, but it escapes me.
welcome to the new people
If you’ve just arrived after recieving my email, then…”hello”
As you can see, I’ve been at this about a week, and there’s quite a bit to go through. The first posts are at the bottom of the page, with the newest at the top.
There’s an “About Me” page that you can have a look at, and various links throughout the site. At the moment, the design is a bit basic, but hopefully it’ll evolve as we go on, with new pages added and new links.
It probably seems a bit self-agrandising, but forgive me, its just suppose to be a place where I can sound off, let people know what’s happening and note down things I’d like to remember. So, I hope you’ll forgive me and hope you enjoy the site.
More posts to come, probably once a week or so.
thanks
S.
School of Rock
School of Rock is a brilliant film that everyone will enjoy. Its a particularly barnstorming performance from Jack Black, I don’t think it would have been the same film without him. The kids are great, and the songs are fun too, I don’t think I’ve had this much fun at the flicks for a very long time.
Cipo to ride in le tour
Very pleased to hear of Mario Cippolini’s return to Le Tour after 4 years. Petachi will have some strong competition and I’m sure it will liven up the opening days, especially after last year. Hopefully we will get to see them go head to head in Quimper where we’ll be standing in the crowd. To say I’m looking forward to seeing Le Tour is a bit of an understatement. I think we’ll probably catch it in Briec the night before, then go into town to see the final sprint later in the afternoon.
Had a good ride yesterday, clocked up 31m (the 1 is very important), during which I climbed Harting Down, and almost came a cropper on the way down. My average is building up, and I can do a steady climb, but have trouble on much steeper climbs. Anyway, it was a good day, and felt great when I finally came home.
Goodbye Sven
Sven left today, he is heading to Australia with his family to make a new start. He’ s been working for the company for 7 years, and he’s one of the few people that have been there since I first started. So he’s now the fourth person I’ve known to emigrate, and the second this year. I’m looking forward to finally visiting one of these days…
let it snow…
Can you believe it, as i returned from the chip shop tonight, it started to snow, and by the time i parked up, there were little flakes sticking to the bonnet. I’m a bit wary after the blizzard a couple of weeks ago, it looks like this cold spell is here to stay for a bit longer.
