4 days off work, woohoo! Just done 6 days straight, with a 14 & 1/2 hour stint on my first of those 6, due to a rather large product launch you may have heard about.
Had a massive quest to find a copy of Red Dead Redemption a week ago on my day of prior to those 6 days. Nowhere in Bristol had a copy....

Been trying to get around to writing this for ages. Hope I have time before I go to work in 25 mins.
Sticking with the apps/pics updates for now, but here's a brief roundup of news:
I ran 5k - 4.15k of it while injured. It was for a Nike+ challenge through work. I did it in 34.24 and I'm quite proud of myself as...

Dude, a BBQ sounds excellent! I'd love to come. Havn't seen you guys in ages. If the weather stays like this it'll be awesome!
ikaruga:
the gruaniad's app is d/ling as I type... thanks for that (okay, and the indie's. yeah, it may be crap, but my sister works for them, so I'd better!)
I'm going to continue with the photo/app updates for now. Life trundles on as ever and while it is all going extremely well, there's not a lot to say about things in general. Go to work. Enjoy job for the most part, come home see wife, love her - rinse, repeat.

You are completely awesome 
Thank you so much for your advice, means a lot that you spent time writing all that for me! Luckily I only have to do the job once a week (hopefully for not too much longer). Though I do want to be able to prove to myself that I can do it and od it well, I frigging hate failing at stuff!
Hope you and your lovely wife and doing just fine! You coming to mine and Mark's birthday meet in July?!??!!

xContinuing on the iPhone tip here's some more quick app reviews:
Flight control (59p): Simple concept & starts easy enough, but gets fiendishly difficult. Has that 'one more go' thing.
Camerabag (1.19): Photo app, similar in some ways to the wonderful Hipstamatic. On the plus side, you can add the effects to photos you've already taken, but on the downside, there's a limited range of...

I expect we shall be making the trip down south later in the year for sure xxI got to see one of my favourite bands!
I got an email from some band who for some reason have my email address saying that they would be playing, along with 3 other bands that night, all supporting Shai Hulud. I was working until 9.30pm, but managed to make it down there after work to see about 4 tracks from the last support band,...

Give Orbital a try. I think it's 1.59, but it's a fun puzzle type game with graphics similar to Geometry Wars

I neeeeeeeeeeeed an iphone 
Not tons to report. Life is good.
Been writing some & that's going pretty well. I've continued the misanthropic detective story I started in November for NaNoWriMo. It's at just over 10,000 words at present.
I've been playing Fallout 3 a little, (Pinklet is on her 3rd run through - I got stuck on a late part on the xbox & haven't played it...

Those hipstamatic photo's look really cool.
Hmm. 2nd attempt at this. I tried to drag a photo into the attach thing below & it just displayed it in this tab. Hit back & presto - no blog!
We had a week off to visit family & give out xmas presents. Normally I don't do xmas, but... whatever.
We visited Pinklet's lot first. My father-in-law likes to break out the booze,...

A quadricopter sounds like a dinosaur helicopter. If it makes you feel any better they're probably just pretending to be 12. They're probably 15 or 16.
Hope your stepdad gets better soon.

Thanks dude. I'll let you know. Hope you had a good Christmas with the missus.
What a week. It's been a toughie.
Apple gave me 4 weeks notice before I was due to start with them. I had to give a calendar month's notice at my old job. There was approx. a week crossover.
I've had some conflicting advice from Apple. First I was told that the first two weeks were going to be home study - turned out to...

I'll PM you my mobile number. What time do you want to meet and where?
spamtwo:
It was most excellent to meet you on Thursday. Good luck with next weeks training.
Exceptionally brief update:
I start with Apple tomorrow.
I don't finish my old job until Thursday.
The first week at Apple is home study, meaning I can do it even with the overlap.
But on evenings only until Fri.
But I started yesterday to get a head start.
And Pinklet made me a schedule.
But we've gone out to do necessary stuff.

It's been ages since i spoke to either of you. many many congratulations to you both.
Six days until we get married. SIX DAYS! How did that happen? I mean sure, I've been going to sleep and getting up and going to work and coming home and time has been passing as usual but... hang on, I think I answered my own question.
Anyway, Pinklet has an almost finished dress. I've been working on table favours and stuff. Obviously I'm really...
