Infest 2007 was fun, and made a new friend, who I expect to see more of at ( Read more... )

After years of getting nagged by such people as Kat, it looks like we’re finally going to make it this year.

Anyone else going?

Super 8s: Sri Lanka vs England

Great start to the match, with Vaughan winning the toss, and putting Sri Lanka in to bat.

We then gave a surprisingly disciplined bowling & fielding effort, with a great run-out from Bell, a magnificent catch from Collingwood, and only a couple of ( Read more... )

Well, very much a David & Goliath match this, but in this case, David wasn’t up to the task.

So, we finally managed to win a match on this tour, beating New Zealand this morning.

We even did it with Pietersen out injured, which has to be a result of sorts.

However, we still have a very serious problem with the batting lineup. In this match, we had one man who we could ( Read more... )

So, having spent a large chunk of yesterday working on this, I have it looking nearly exactly how I want it, with a few tweaks still to come, but generally, this is how it should be.

However, I’m now left with a 2 year gap in my posts, where I’d used LJ exclusively. Obviously, ( Read more... )

Ok, so I’ve finally done some work on my website, and as of now, all my blog entries will be written from there.

Unlike the previous change, all entries will automatically appear here too, and it’ll be a single set of comments.

I’m sure you’re all overjoyed by this.

Next tasks:
