News from the world of me

Well the last post certainly caught a fair bit of attention, in fact it’s the most popular post I’ve written since the move to WordPress. I must blog about current events more often (or just blog more often).

I’ve been Working from home for the past few weeks, and it doesn’t look like I’ll be travelling again in a while, probably not until after the new year. This gives me plenty of time to go stir crazy, but at least it means I spend less time traveling.

Working on ObscureInternet.com as well, been interview some bands from MySpace (first one was published on wednesday, a lovely young lady). The request for interviews got a much bigger response that I expected, I’m still writing and uploading the answers I got for requests I sent out over two weeks ago.

Also I’ve just bought myself a nice new Microphone so I can start broadcasting show live shows for Radio6581. I’ve got a few things to sort out but these should be coming very soon. I’m also thinking of doing some Podcasts for ObscureInternet.

Oh, while I’m on the subject of retro radio,  it’s time to Vote for ROTY 2008! again on remix 64, it only seems like a few weeks since the last awards show.

Fitness wise, I’ve been going Wii-fit intermittantly and I’ve manged to complete Week 2 of Onehundredpushs. I managed to complete more than 81 push ups in one session, which surprised me greatly. The weight is still yo-yo-ing (is that a word? I hope so) but as I’ve said before this doesn’t really bother me.

I’ve also been busy with something else that I’ve got going on at the moment, but it’s a bit of secret and has been for almost two years. I may reveal the secret at the end of the year, but don’t get too excited, it’s not that interesting.

Another new blog design.

Yes, in case you’ve hadn’t noticed by now I’ve tweaked the design again, and this time I’m happy with the results. 

Here’s a little sneak preview of design for those of you reading the RSS feed. Also when I change the design again this image will also be a nice reminder of how the blog use to look. I’ve changed the design a number of times, but I’ve never really saved screenshots of the previous design, so I can’t really look at the evolution of the site. Archive.org only gives a few of the old designs, and the images (such as the old logos) are missing.

The new design is an attempt to reflect the C64 part of C64Glen. It’s a lot more blue and it uses the Commodore 64 font in the main logo.

The blog is now running using WordPress 2.7 beta 2, and must say, I have been impressed by new dashboard interface and functionality. The only downside is the Blog Stats are missing from the main dashboard screen.

The US election, Bonfire Night and Fitness

It’s been an interesting week, first of all we’ve had the end to all the nonsense in the USA. Yes, the US election finally came to an end on Tuesday. I stayed up, until after three o’clock in the morning, to watch all the fun on the BBC, and also to actually see if Obama would win. Obviously Obama was favourite to win, but given the nature of Americans, I had to see it before I would believe it. Thanks to the BBC excellent coverage, I did see it and even that idiot John Bolton didn’t manage to spoil it.

Wednesday was Bonfire night. This year rather than go to an organised display, Conor and I walked around the local estate visiting the various fires that had been assembled by the local children and the unemployable. This was something I haven’t done in a long time, and it was an interesting experience. It is just like a organised  display except people go these Bonfire in there pyjamas, and the fires are mostly built out of Wheelie Bins (which burn surprisingly well), garden fences and old household furniture. In conclusion I really should move.

Finally today’s Wii Fit weigh showed that I have lost 3lb pounds in the last two weeks, which is weird because I haven’t had time for either Wii Fit or the hundredpushups thing in those two weeks.
