Man, what a top weekend of mostly doing nothing worthwhile. Chilling out with mrsfb, watching telly, generally taking it nice and easy. I am so relaxed, I just fancy putting my head down on my desk, and sleeping until hometime.

We did manage a walk up to our favourite almost in the country pub, going along the river as a scenic detour (as you can see in the picture above I sent to my flickr account along the way). Slowly got warmer and less overcast the closer we got, so managed a couple of pints in the pub garden.

Going to spend today launching myself into the week, get some things done, and get caught up on the weekend in podcasting. Lofty aims all, I feel.

Look over to the right, and down a little bit. I’ve added in a flickr bar, which shows the latest 3 pics I have uploaded to my flickr account. Now, I can happily upload images to this website itself, but the joy of flickr is I can MMS photos I take on my mobile to flickr, and they go online almost instantly. At the moment you may well be able to see a strange looking fellow there, that may or may not be flotsky.

Very impressed with this, so easy to set up (I did the whole thing, setting up the account, setting up the code, putting it in Blogger and uploading a pic in about 20 minutes, and that wasn’t particularly down to ability, it is just nicely done).

Cool breeze blowing in through my window this morning. I was almost cold. It was fucking fantastic.

I am presently listening to an Oracle podcast (the Database people, not the teletext creators. It is high on the dull scale of podcasts, but worthy from a learning and work sense. I may have to listen to the videogamenews.com podcast to make up for it next.

Podsafe Music Network. Music that can be used freely for Podcasts, a lot of unpublished acts. First time that podsafe music has been gathered together in one place, as far as I know.

Mellow weekend. Didn’t achieve much, didn’t set out too. Sat out in the park on Saturday, alternating between resting in the shade of a tall tree, and playing diabolo. I’ve still got it, I can throw my diabolo way up in the air and catch it without it smacking into my face. I don’t look forwards to the day I find I haven’t got it anymore.

Bought and assembled a new barbecue, and most of the parts ended up where they should go, so I consider that a major success. Cooked what are fast becoming my patented chilli-lamb kebabs on it. I intend to use it whenever I can this year, if its going to be this hot, I may as well be outside with a glass of wine rather than sweating in the kitchen. I have a thermometer in there, and it has got up to 33C in our kitchen recently.

It is stupidly hot this week. Could barely sleep last night because of it. Ah well, I’ll be bitching about the rain next week. What a joy it is to be English.

Now well into early 2003 in terms of copying old posts across to this blog. Very odd re-reading your life of the past two years. Must try and do a bit more of what I have siad I’d do. Or not.

My good friend TM whom I visited a couple of weekends ago has had an affect on me, and got me sipping Peppermint tea from time to time now. It is very refreshing, and also caffine-free, which cannot be a bad thing for me, the coffee-addict that I am. Will have to get a larger supply in.

I realised last night I forgot to mention my other obsession at the moment, the number puzzle Sudoko. I realise I may be the very last person on this bandwagon, but I am loving them, have a couple of books of them now I take on bus journeys and the like. Good for helping to tax my brain a little.

Also, last night for the first time I watched some TV Poker. And felt myself starting to get it. I may have to start playing myself. Don’t worry, I don’t do proper gambling for money or anything. I have known since an early age when it comes to betting I have zero luck. I may however download a version for my phone, I have a version of Blackjack I have been playing on my mobile for months, which is a good little travel diversion.

Right, I have redesigned a lot of pages on this site now. Hopefully, the vast majority should look like the main blog page, and all the links should point to pages that look like this too. If you are looking around, and notice any mistakes, I’d be most grateful if you would let me know (hint hint, look around quickly if you have time, see if you can break it for me). I now run a stats package for the site called Urchin, which lets me see (amongst many other things) what errors crop up, so I am watching that at the moment. Although probably not right this second. Very happy with it so far.

In addition as part of this burst of energy, I have updated the blog archive to go back as far as September 2004. I eventually want to copy across the old diary entries back as far as when I started doing them in 2002, just so I have them all in the same format. I’ll get there one day.

One thing I realised I haven’t been doing is explaining what the other links on here are. Will start putting that right now, and will explain each one in turn every so often. Lets start with Likes, which is list of some of the things I am most passionate about.
