It's very shiny.

After about six weeks off the road due to an unfortunate incident with a patch of oil on the road I am on to my second motorbike.

It's a very nice 2001 Sym Husky. Still a 125cc but a whole lot faster and heavier and, hell, nicer than my old SR. As of yesterday it's all taxed and MOT's and insured. And away I go! :D

Been a bit ill this week. Got another bloody ear infection. I guess I only have myself to blame for not finishing the course of antibiotics last time. At least I had several days in bed to catch up on lost sleep over the last few weeks.

Reading an amazing book at the moment: The Book Of Lost Things by John Connolly it's really, really, really good. I'd describe it as a cross between Neil Gaiman's Wolves in the Walls and Pan's Labyrinth. Very weird and very fantastical.

It's about time!

I've been busily learning all manner of new exciting and geeky things of late.

What with all the stuff I've been learning I though it would be a good idea to start a wiki to document each of the problems I've been running into and allow easy, searchable access to them for when I inevitably run into the same problem again. The wiki can be found here.

I've finally got myself a UNIX shell account from the lovely people over at the SDF and I've managed to get access to it using my Blackberry. Hehe.... Fun.

Real life has gotten slightly better. My better half has got a new job which is great news, even though it is in London. This means that she's got a very long day indeed and I'm on school run every day! Not that I'm complaining, I actually really enjoy it.

Looking forward to the weekend!
