I’ve been playing around with redesigning my site with a new front page and my blog as only part of it. I haven’t had much time, so I’ve largely only been doing things with CSS and the like to see what I can make it look like. I have been doing odd things with dynamically… Read More »
Well, it’s been a very long time since I last blogged. Every time I look at it, I seem to go blank. Time for an update, I guess. I’m enjoying my work. I’ve been doing a lot of work at Landrover’s plant in Gaydon. Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel and… Read More »

After a dearth of bloggable events, here are a few happy thoughts. * I’ve finished my finals – a good thing overall, but scary as I need a job now * Yesterday, we bought a “car”:/pics/rachael.jpg – no more cold, hunched journeys with nothing but the roar of the wind in my helmet to cause… Read More »
