Rambling

So another fabulous week kicks of with less sleep than I would like. I seem to be pretty awesome at not getting enough sleep. Call it a special skill. My weekend was pretty awesome. Saturday saw a another round of golf and I improved again shootin a positivley brilliant 29 over. Not brilliant, I know, but a 5 shot improvement over my last attempt.

Anyway, to the lack of sleep, i have know excuse really. My usual excuse for staying up far past when I should is useully games, an F1 race or recently, the Tour. None of that was my issue last night.

My latest quest is to learn some mac programing using X-code and objective-C,both new things for me. Obviously this takes quite a pack of time and is putting me a bit behind with everything else. Ultimately I would like to put together some awesome mac+iPhone apps that provide time management and ideas management. I also wouldn't mind bashing together a few games. My first project is going to be a simple recreation of space invaders (with a twist). I will be keeping it relitivley simple though.

Not sure how long it will take me to put that together. Though with CA starting soon I Am going to start getting really short on time.

Btw, tapping this out on an iTouch (I was too slow to pick up a 3gs on launch) and am still waiting for it.

It is suprisingly easy and intuitive to tap out txt on this thing. Probably slighly easier than the blackberry's qwerty keyboard, but you can't type by feel. I'll call it a draw. The apple devices score a definite win though with being able to flip them on there side for bigger keys and more typing space.

That is probably enough rambling for now!

Cheers

On ya Webber

Holy shit. WEBBER WON SOMETHING!!!

I seriously can't believe it. Right up to the checkered flag I was hanging out for his engine to fail, or the gearbox to explode, or a piano to attack him. The more ridiculous the fuck-up the more likely it seems to be with Webber.

Anyway, seems he has managed to exorcise his demons (or made a pact with one) and finally broken the drought.

About time!

Golf, Cycling and Formula 1

Today is a good day.

Got up this morning and headed out to smack some golf balls around. I was swinging brand new clubs and had a quite painful shoulder so it wasn't the best round I have ever had.

Shot 20 over out and 14 over in. Picked up 26k steps too :)

Today's stage of the tour is the second serious mountain stage. However, given the long flat run after the big hill I don't think there will be any kind of serious attack. There's just too much time for the pelaton to reel them back in.

There is also some formula one on. Webber somehow got pole and with 10 laps to go is in front. I assume his car will blow up soon (or Vettle will take him out).

Fwd: Project Piece of Shit

So, I quite like taking photos, especially the random candid shots you just stumble across from time to time.

Unfortunately lugging around a 50D + lenses etc isn't particularly practical 95% of the time so I miss a lot of shots that imo would have been awesome.

The solution is a easy to handle, go anywhere point and shoot. So to make things interesting I went with an old half dead one we had lying around

The challenge is simple. Try and take a few decent photos a month with a piece of shit, low res, cheap ass point and shoot.

I will post my results as I get them.

Cheers

Friday is for Beer

Yes beer.

Lots of beer.

Beer glorious beer.

Today is friday and that means beers after work, which is great (if you like beer). I am really struggling to think about something other than beer actually.

Well actually, today is the first serious stage of the Tour (de France that is) and it is looking like Alberto Contador is going to waltz away with the win this year. He blew everyone away.

Cheers
