Twitter feed should now be visible in the sidebar and is much more frequently updated.

Kind of makes this all a bit redundant.

New things

With improving technology comes the chance to make posts here from mobile rather than having to remember thoughts until home and near a computer. This is the first post from the iPhone, or Jesus phone as users of “The Register,” would call it. More drivel later.

Odd units of measurement

I’ve noticed that there is an increasing trend to measure large things using some odd units of measurements. For instance, today two lucky people have each won around 45 million pounds on the Euro millions lottery. Now for the hard of thinking, just how much is 45 million?

According to the BBC:

The winner would be able to enjoy a personal fortune comparable with that of the singer Sir Cliff Richard, the DJ Chris Evans or the footballer Michael Owen.

Well that makes it so much clearer. 45 million = Cliff Richard!

Gave up trying to update the Gallery section on the site as the app had become so slow and bloated. Installed ZenPhoto instead which is pretty nifty. New pics available here

Projects…

I’m looking to take on more side projects for jmjDesign, either in the Architectural Design side or the Web Development side. If you’re interested in extending or altering your property and need plans produced, drop me a line.

Dreamweaver crashes…

For those people like me who use Adobe Dreamweaver loads, you may have noticed it crashing with annoying regularity recently. Symptoms involve crashes when selecting text. Thankfully there’s an easy fix!

I found the answer here

However for ease of looking up.. here’s the meat of it….

You need to delete the winfilecachexxxxx.dat file.

It’s located here on XP:

c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

Driving

Having driven over 650 miles this last weekend I’ve come to some conclusions about road users.

A vehicle with a missing rear light is 90% likely to be a rover 25, probably badly customised by a chav.
Not all BMW drivers are tossers, just most of them.
Small cars driven by the elderly should be restricted to lanes 1 and 2.

Great North Run

Completed the Great North Run yesterday, with a time of 2 hours 2 minutes. Not blisteringly fast, but fast enough for me considering the state of my knees (anyone got spare knees?)

Very proud of Emma who finished her first half marathon in a very respectible 2.40!

MTB Hamsterley Forest

admin — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:48:01 +0000

Spent yesterday riding with friends in Hamsterley forest in Durham. Nowhere near the standard of the 7 Stanes routes up in Scotland, but still a good ride out and likely to get better as they add more sections of single track to the routes. The final small section of the black is a great taste of what is hopefully still to come.

Route building is done by the Hamsterley Trailblazers
