Caravan!
In an attempt to cheer myself up, I thought I'd update on the caravan..It's fantastic! OK, the first journey with it was a nightmare, its a very scary thing to tow a caravan for the first time - You've got this terrifying thing in your mind - forward, forward, never backward. You mess up in a caravan on some double parked road in traffic that can ( Read more... ) -
A nice way to start an evening
I haven't eaten all day because I was in a four hour meeting that went through Lunch. Its a massive project that is one of any number of massive projects falling at my door lately. Work has gotten so bad that one of my colleagues who has been in since the beginning is leaving. To say my stress levels are high would be an understatement. Ang ( Read more... ) -
Car Crash
Took the MX5 today on a whim for a customary ragging. Went out into the moors over the pennines as I tend to do. Car got a solid caning, and as I was pushed for time, turned the car around on the peak where there is a place for walkers to park. A bike went buzzing past at speed and I followed. It was soon in the distance as it was going at ( Read more... ) -

Collateral Damage
I'm starting to wonder if I do more harm than good trying to look after my older Radio's. My prized Sharp GF-6500 first lost its power selector years ago after I cleaned all the knobs and then lost that bit. And yesterday I had the bright idea of cleaning the knobs again, this time in an ultrasonic cleaner. Nothing wrong with that, but I had to ( Read more... ) -
Pure Evoke-1
I intended to do a review of all my radios eventually, and one I was going to get round to was my Pure Evoke-1. It's a beautifully built radio that looks as though it is built to last a life time. It might be made in China, but so what, China is pushing out some of the most high quality kit these days. I had heard of a number of owners having ( Read more... ) -

Farewell to Pug
The little £325 Pug 106 has been a little cracker, but sadly the rear suspension is now shot. I think its the rear trailing arm bearings and apparently they're an absolute pig to do. For the money though I really can't argue, its done about 10K trouble free miles since we've had it. Yes, its slow, but its also very comfy, cruises nicely at slow ( Read more... ) -
I <3 Python
In the past I've played with numerous programming and scripting languages. Started off with Pascal in the 90s, moved on to C which I never got good at, its just so easy to break. Good for doing low level stuff, but a pain in the arse for large amounts of other stuff. Used to do a bit of x86 assembly, 68K, 6502 etc, all fun for low level. I did ( Read more... )
