The heat death of the blogosphere

Yes, I'm still here, and the site is still naked :-o

Blogs are apparently losing out to the likes of twitter, facebook and tumblr. I must admit that I post to my twitter stream a lot more than I post here (not that difficult, considering the frequency of my posts here ;)

I don't think I'll change from the blog style format for this site, though - I have some ideas which I hope I'll find the time to implement soon.

In the meantime, here's what I've been up to since I last posted:

Charlotte and I traveled up the west coast of Australia, from Perth to Broome. It was spectacular and I took a lot of photos
I started working at GCap Interactive on the XFM radio website - we just launched Festivals and Gigs!
I finally got my new kitchen installed :)
I took my first helicopter flying lesson, thanks to Charlotte :)

The first half of this year has gone by so quickly, and I've done lots of exciting things already - let's see if we can keep it going!

A change is as good as a rest

Yes, still alive, although this blog has seen better days.

I just got back from a trip to the US, with many sights seen and dollars won at the Blackjack tables in Vegas (and Tahoe) - check out the photos on Flickr.

Big news: I quit Yahoo! - decided to move on, because I feel like I'm being held back, not earning enough and it's getting a little unstable what with the Microsoft thing and the shares continuing to fall.

After I leave, I'm heading straight to Australia again, to see Charlotte and travel the Western territories.

When I get back, I shall be working at GCAP, the parent company of several radio stations, including Capital FM and XFM.

I'm looking forward to some exciting times ahead!

Happy New Year!

NYE fireworks in Sydney

Here we are in 2008, and for a change, I am looking back at the year just gone and hoping that this year is at least half as good :)

What was so great about last year? Here's a brief re-cap:

I met Charlotte <3
I bought a flat
I worked a second year at Yahoo!
I jumped out of a plane!
I went snowboarding
I went to Milan, Paris, Dublin and Sydney
I quit smoking

Yep, life was really good last year.

This year, I will be mostly indulging in a little nesting behaviour; I'm doing some redecorating in my flat to get ready for when Charlotte comes back and moves in with me.

It sucks a little that I don't get to see much of her this year, but I'll be visiting in May, for my birthday :)

I hope your year was just as good, and that you get everything you want this year too!

At least I'm consistent

Hmm, I haven't posted for quite some time.

Hackney is nice, but I haven't done anything to the flat yet - sheer laziness, I suppose. I've not even finished fitting the kitchen door - it's sitting in the spare room, awaiting further planing :/

The reason, of course, is that I was far too busy with work and entertaining Charlotte to find the time.

Now that Charlotte's gone off to the Antipodes for a whole year :( I think I'll probably have more than enough time for my DIY projects. I might even fit the new kitchen by myself!

With the festive season upon us, I will not be moping around my new, incomplete flat, stuffing myself with mince pies in front of the telly on my own. I am jetting out to Sydney to experience Christmas in the height of summer, with Charlotte and other friends!

Here's to a 24 hour flight, which (fingers crossed) will not be too troublesome.

I'm planning on taking lots of pictures, on my whizzy new DSLR camera. Hurrah!

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Relocation, relocation, relocation

I've moved!

Actually, I bought a flat in Hackney a month ago, and only just now got around to telling you. It has two bedrooms, one of which I may be looking to fill with a lodger of some kind. It's in a rather pleasant Victorian house, with high ceilings and a nice big shared garden, too.

Now that I'm on the property ladder (again), I'm quite disturbed about all the dark news of credit problems, negative equity and the next recession. Fingers crossed, I'll be alright.

In other news, PageZero is finally in the UK! What does this mean to you, dear reader? Well, the main thing is the site is now much faster, because your browser doesn't have to fetch data all the way from the US of A any more.
