My car appears on Google Streetview…..how cool is that! I was on a half day last summer driving to work just after lunch, and suddenly spotted the google car as i turned onto the A57!

Now thats more like it, played Acid again at Badminton and lost 2 games and won 1 game!
Last night I played Badminton for the 1st time in 3 years. Now I have to be honest, over the last 3 years, I haven’t exactly been following an olympic standard training regime, and I was expecting to lose every single game I played, especially given that my opponent (Acid for those of you that know him!), is playing all sorts of sports every week to keep himself fit. Yet somehow despite all this, I managed to win all 3 games we played!!! I doubt it will last long, but for now I’m a badminton god!
I can’t believe i haven’t written anything for a year now. If you look at this site reguarly (which i’ve found out that some people actually do!), you might notice some back dated blog entries appearing over the next few days, to cover some of the things I’ve missed out.
I’ll try harder to keep this up to date in the future!
My little niece is now 1! Photos in the gallery
I’ve finally got around to updating my photo gallery to the latest version of ZenPhoto. I just need to add all my photos to it now, when I return back to the UK.
I’ve also finally managed to fix the Google Maps plugin. So the map showing all the places i’ve been is now working again.
Took the opportunity this weekend, whilst I was in California, to visit the American version of Legoland. Had a good time, took loads of photos.
This weekend I visited China for the first time (technically Macau is a seperate country!). Zhu’hai is the province of China that borders Macau, and as soon as you walk across the border between Macau & China, the first thing you immediately come across is a huge underground shopping centre. This place was absolutely massive, selling just everything you could possibly want. In the end I was fairly boring and just bought dvd’s, but my work colleagues who went with me, inisisted on buying armani suits & rolex watches! Obviously this was all high quality merchandise…..honest!
I’ve spent most of my today in the office. Obviously I haven’t been doing any work (at least not for my company anyway!), instead I’ve been busy doing web site stuff!
First off the Alpenstock web site, which I do the coding for, needs another minor update. Now back in the UK, this is actually quite easy, as I have loads of software which makes writing PHP code really easy. Unfortunately out here in Macau, the only tool I have is notepad, which makes writing & testing the code a little bit harder! However I somehow managed to hack together some code, and the miracle of the story is that it actually works!
Finally, I’ve spent a bit of time also updating this site. I’d been putting off updating this site for several months, but now I’ve completed most of the tasks (upgrading WordPress, K2 and several of the plugins I use for this site). All thats really left to do now, is update the Photo Gallery software, and try and figure out why my Google maps aren’t working anymore…. something for next weekend, i think.
This weekend, I finally went walking in Macau. There are over 25 World Heritage sites on the Macau penninsula, and I had been meaning for several weeks to visit a few of them, but for various reasons (mainly being lazy!) I had kept putting it off.
In the end I only managed to visit a handful of these sites, but had quite an enjoyable day out. Towards the end of my day, I was ended up in the slightly dodgy end of town, and ended up becoming locationally challenged! In the end I managed to find a taxi (there aren’t many in that part of town), and ended my day trip with a huge burger at Al’s diner. Photos are available in the gallery.
