Yes, It's actually true, I've been going to gym, AND playing squash on a regular basis. Thus far I've managed to get through this week going to gym every second day, and playing an hour of squash every other day. Let's hope I keep it up. What can I say - I got a little tired of looking so much like an American! So here's to me looking buff when I get to sit on the beach over Christmas!

This last Saturday night we were lucky enough to have a grammy award winning musician perform at our house for a party. His name is John Cruz and he was incredible. Not many people have heard of him, and hence I don't really know how he won the grammy, cause usually they only go to people who are already famous, but it would appear that for a change a grammy was actually awarded to someone for their musical abilities and not the amount of skin that they show on TV. He got the whole place going crazy - not because his music was wild (it was actually really chilled out, sort of Jack Johnson type stuff) but because he was just so fantastic. The vibe downstairs in the lounge was overwhelmingly good.

Later, after he had finished playing, Jon Stott and I threw a rock star after party in our lounge up stairs which everyone also thought was really great. What a fantastic weekend! Photos available here.

Many people dream of becoming excessively powerful and rich in order to buy huge houses in Monaco, or crazy car collections. My reasoning is somewhat geekier - I just want to be able to have enough money to comfortably buy each and every new product Apple releases. Take for example the iPod Nano - it's thinner than a bloody pencil and holds 1000 songs. It's less than 2/3 the size od the iPod Mini which it replaces. Definitely the must have item of the year - I WANT! I've also taken the liberty of adding the TV ad for it to the files section of the page.

I've added all of the old funnies to the funnies section and two crazy videos of the Ariel Atom to the files section, check them out!

Welcome to the new site. I hope that you all like what I've done. If truth be told, I've actually done a whole lot less than I normally would have to make this page possible. I'm using an application known as Rapidweaver to control the layout of the whole thing, with a few tweaks from myself. This is, in theory, going to make it a hell of a lot easier for me to update my site, and hence, the chances of me keeping the site up to date are much greater. I'm still wondering what to do with the photo album sections, and what the best format for hosting the thousands of photos will be, but I should have them up and running shortly.

A quick note of the main new features that I'm going to be putting in, or that are already available:

RSS feeds on most pages, meaning that you can tune in to my news and other such items through your favorite news reader.

A file sharing section where I will place programs and other files that I find of interest.

I'm sure I'll think of a whole lot of other things to add in here all in good time.

Hope the new site is up to scratch. Cheers
