You might notice on the right of this page that a new gadget has appeared, stating my current location. This little thing was created for me by Dave Marsland using FireEagle and some .Net coding. I can update it from my mobile phone at anytime using GPS or triangulation between cell towers.

It is the starting point for a project I want to do (with the aid of Dave for the coding) that will allow me to be tracked when I run the London Marathon (entry pending online ballot). For more info on my progress to running the marathon checkout www.2menandamarathon.co.uk a site developed by me and maintained by myself and my friend Jamie (who is also looking to do the Marathon). The FireEagle service and some coding from Dave will hopefully allow us to be tracked using GPS the whole way round the course!

Thanks a lot to Dave for this!

Woah where does the time go

It seems like only a few days ago I was blogging about my bad back and all the things I wanted to post over the following weekend and all of a sudden right out of nowhere it’s June the 20th and I’ve posted nothing for 20 days! That’s bad, work has been so demanding it seems to have absorbed most of my time and the time it hasn’t sucked away from me, has been spent either sleeping or resting as a result of being tired from all the work!

I am training at the moment to hopefully move into a vacant management role, there is a bit of competition from someone else so I’m having to work pretty hard to make sure I am the one they choose!

Anyway as a result my online life has been put a lil bit on the back burner. Google reader has 381 items for me to sift through, my emails are mostly junk at the moment so that’s fine and as you have probably noticed the blogging got left behind.

Right that’s enough explaining on with the news.

Looks like the Yahoo MSFT deal is totally off, the new 3G iPhone was released (snore). Yahoo partners with Google to allow Google ads on Yahoo search pages. Firefox 3 was officially released (yay). Nasa finds Ice evidence of ice on the surface of Mars! The WiMax Forum certifies it’s first 2.5GHz products. WiMax will be the future, and I want to discuss that much more but it deserves a post all to itself!  

Other than what’s above there has not been much else major that has happened, not that I have noticed on my radar anyway! I did go and see a physio about my back yesterday though, apparently my posture is appalling, my spine bends in the wrong place and I don’t exercise enough! I think most of that I knew already, She’s given me exercises to do so we’ll see if they help.

Right, that’s enough for now!
