Now having purchased a wall long bookcase cum tv stand from IKEA, the race is on to get the living room fully decorated before it arrives.
We’ve been in this house for nearly 4 years now, and finally have the money to sort the living room out. When it’s finished I’ll be sure to post some piccys. So far the new woodburner and fire surround are in and one of the walls is painted. The carpet is ordered and the old radiator has been removed (thanks dad for helping with that).
New aerial point needs putting in as the telly is moving from one side of the room to the other and new skirting board needs to go in once all the painting is complete.
I can’t wait until it’s all finished. Will be a nice change to to have a nice warm house in winter.
In other news, I think I have torn the muscles in my calfs from my (longer than usual) run last week so I’m gonna have to take a time out for a bit. Hopefully I’ll be back running in a couple of weeks. I’ll have to eat extra healthily in the meantime. :)
I have been hosting my personal sites (and some friend’s sites) on slicehost for over a year and half now (wow, time flies). It has been great learning how to set up a server from scratch, configuring software such as apache, php, courier, learning to set firewall rules and set up virtual hosts etc etc.
But the time has come for me to move away. Not because slicehost is bad, it has been great to me, a few sticky problems here and there (but mostly my own doing). No, I’m now moving to Media Temple because I simply need to be able to administer new accounts more easily. It was just a pain in the arse not having a control panel.
Now that I’m very familiar with ubuntu as a server, I think I need to take a break from configuring and tinkering and spend more time working on some great projects and websites.
Look out for a new project of mine very soon….
After reading that the fat-burning phase of a run doesn’t begin until you’ve been running for 20 minutes, I thought I’d step it up a little this morning. I did my run in just under 30 minutes and covered 4.5km. I could definitely tell that I hadn’t run for about 3 weeks and perhaps 4.5km was a little ambitious as i did end walking about 5 mins of it.
It certainly is tough around Audley as their are hills everywhere and your legs just feel knackered afterwards. Having said that I do feel good now after having had a shower.
Reportedly, I burned 395 calories!
Roll on 5km.
For the last month or so, I have been working feverishly in the evenings on a top secret project.
The time has now come to reveal a brand new directory to the world - BusinessFind

As you can see, I have switched from using Posterous to using Tumblr. After looking through the feature list of both sites, they are remarkably similar.
However it seems that Tumblr is likely to win the war of ‘simple blogging system’ simply because it is growing at an unprecedented rate.
After reading this post I have decided to make the switch. Lets see how things work out.
