Since before signing up for the marathon I’ve been making sure that I do my running training regularly. I’m currently doing at least 4 runs during the week, pushing for 5 (all during lunch times). The route that I run around the city is approximately 6.2km, which is a good distance to cover while still having time either side of the run for prepration and showering up so that I don’t offend my coworkers.

Regular readers of Dilbert are currently kicking and screaming about the site’s new Flash-based design. Personally I don’t mind it, but at the end of the day it matters not.
Why? Continued →
After more than 3 years on the bench I’ve decided to take the plunge again. Today I signed up for the Gold Coast Airport Marathon. The event will be held on the 6th July ‘08 — which from today means I have a total of 80 more days to prepare.
I’ve been back into running training for a few weeks now, and have been really enjoying it. Lunch time runs are really helping since I don’t have a great deal of time in the evenings to run. Continued →
I thought it was about time that I made you all aware of a site that’s worthy of attention. I don’t usually like to just send out a link and shut up, but I’ll make an exception this time.
There are stacks of link blogs out there, most of which suck. I have subscribed to so many in the past, along with stacks of firehose feeds, most of which I have since unsubscribed from. Continued →
A timespan like this probably doesn’t mean that much to you.
It does to me.
Thank you, Marley, for such a good night’s sleep!
This is just a brief follow-up to my previous post on the keyboard I bought.
I’ve now had the chance to use it a fair bit, and I thought I’d give you a small summary based on my experience.
Buy one. Now.
That is all.
Before I even started using Vista, I hated UAC. I read about it all over the place, and laughed at the stupidity involved in asking users to constantly “cancel or allow” every action they wanted to take. As soon as I was forced to use Vista for work (both on my work laptop and on site with the client) I turned off UAC on both installations. Continued →
Xavier Rudd has hit the nail on the head with that song. It’s becoming more and more evident that our cash isn’t going as far as it used to.
It has been very difficult not to notice that the cost of everything we do is just sky-rocketing. Today, after another extremely expensive trip to the shops, it hit me full in the face. Continued →
I’ve been thinking about building a web application or two for a while, but I haven’t yet found the time to invest. I don’t think this is going to change very soon either. I’m not the kind of person who usually likes to get stuck into something unless I know I’ve got a couple of hours up my sleeve so that I feel I can get something done, and this has been preventing me from doing anything because I don’t ever feel like I have a couple of hours spare. Having a child means that you could have as little as 5 minutes before all hell breaks loose.
Instead of whinging about it, I’ve decided to go against my usual grain and take those 5 minute chunks as a chance to do something. This is the first step

A little while ago I posted about some new hardware that I bought. In that update I mentioned that I’d bought a new keyboard because my old one was a bit shaky and had the old UK layout which was no longer valid since I have now returned to Australia. Continued →
