    Dave’s just picked my bike up. My bag’s packed with all my race gear, and I’m about to sort my running shoes out with elastic laces for a quick bike-to-run transition tomorrow, and fix in my arch supports. I’ve been knackered today, so hopefully I’ll be a bit more awake tomorrow. I mustn’t forget to…

    I’ve always written websites by hand, using only an HTML text-based aid, like CoffeeCup‘s HTML Editor and an image editor like Adobe Photoshop. I’ve learnt new techniques as I’ve progressed, and tried to keep up. The trouble is that as websites get older, new technologies and standards arise, and you look at your code and…

    I just did the Cosmeston 4x 5km relay with the Cardiff Triathletes. 5k in 18mins 48secs. Not bad for my fitness I guess, and a very fun evening; great atmosphere and a nice course. Kim and Jack went too! It’s been in the low 30’s (C) the last few days, so a bit of rain…
