I’ve been in training for a half-marathon on the 18th October and two weeks ago I injured my knee. Well, I say injured, it started aching badly the day after and so I had to take a week off. After said week, I went out again and half way through that run it started to twinge again. So I walked back. Another week or so has passed and I have been on a six-mile run earlier this evening. So far no pains and really hope not to have any tomorrow. If I have to walk this half-marathon I’m going to do it. My aim is to do the 13.1 miles in two hours or less.

I’m so ready for Roger Waters’ The Wall tomorrow night. It could very well be my favourite musical journey through an album I’ve ever been on.

Trying to get SMS posting to my website working this late at night. What was I thinking. Nearly there though I think.

Facebook is a cancer on the web
I commute into Birmingham each day to work and see people on there phones and tablets passing the time.
I’m a bit of a nosy git, so I can’t help but take a glance at what they’re looking at.
I’m always disheartened when I see — most of the time — it ends up being Facebook.
It is sad to see that a lot of people’s only experience of the web is through the guarded corridor that is Facebook.

So planning and building an e-commerce CMS is harder than it seemed at first. Not that I thought it would be easy.

100 days 2015 – 10 days in
For the past ten days I have been doing the 100 day challenge.
I decided to have a go at building my own e-commerce CMS.
I don’t have a big passion for e-commerce. In fact most of the time I work with e-commerce it frustrates me. But then I always remember hearing the old saying:
“The best way of complaining about something is to try and build something better”.
I won’t say which e-commerce CMS has me often cursing. Those who know me will know by the curses and moaning directed at it.
It feels good to be 10 days in. It’s also the longest commit streak ever on my github account.
I think the biggest thing I am taking away from my 100 day project is the learning I’m doing along the way. The outcome is kind of irrelevant at this point in time — although it would be nice to have something to show for it at the end.
