It has been a couple of months now since I’ve properly written a blog post. So here is a longish catchup post. I have been busy doing agency work mostly in staff restaurants as a Kitchen Porter.

Who said Barcelona was going to be cold?

Seems that the rumours were true about the iPhone coming to the UK, as reported by Macworld UK. However at… Continue reading Who said Barcelona was going to be cold?

However I still need to replace the cogs and chain some time soon, before they wear out completely. As I have internal gears, I can get… Continue reading Cycling: Back on the Road

It is now a lot faster as I don’t have any junk lying around running in the… Continue reading Clean re-install of Mac OS X
