In a bid to re-conquer my digital life, its time to show the blog a little more affection and stretch my social networking muscles. First of all, the excuses. As previously discussed (on many an occation) blogging about why i’ve not been blogging is at best dull. However in this instance i’m going to use it to plug some photographs.

So life’s been busy! There’s been some mountain biking in the lake district, drunkenness back home, a very busy spell at the office (including more geeky photos of equipment), a road trip to Brussels, and a holiday in the Alps for some more Biking!

Exciting stuff, and more than enough justification for a little break from the interweb.

However, although the 3w’s have welcomed me back into their warm familiar arms, certain stern words have been had with an old acquaintance.

Twitter.

You see really, i spoilt it for myself being a nice guy. Swept up by those who’s main life project involved getting as many followers as possible i found myself suffering a little twitter guilt and firing out a few too many courtesy follows. Foolishly flattered that people might be interested in what I’ve to say, the courtesy follow filled my stream with a few too many whom i knew nothing of, and have far to much nothing to say. So after a cull of twittererers (what’s the word for someone who uses twitter?) i’m hoping ill find my twitter stream a much more inviting and informative way to channel my procrastination.

I’m not quite sure i’ve got quite this bored of twitter yet (infact i’m still pretty hooked) But i couldn’t help laugh at this post here.

Incidentally you might be wondering where the link is ? Have a little hover over the ‘here’ and you’ll see. Since the switch to the new wordpress theme, my links have been appearing in the same typeface as the body text. A couple of pints to anyone who knows enough about CSS to help me change this. I’m USELESS at web development!

For those of you who follow me on twitter you’ll know i’m not going to russia in the end, however my equipment is on the boat. Boo! For those of you who aren’t in the loop add me! More updates soon
