Getting slower at these posts
OK What have I been up to.
Well, last weekend was a long weekend, but I basically had a little bit of a rest, swating up for a programming competition (more about that later...)
Friday I went to see the movie 'Strings'. On Saturday I had a great BBQ with James from work. Tam and Karen and Alasdair were there and a fabo time was had by all. Then on Sunday I met up with Damita and we saw 'Millions'
Monday I went climbing at Portland again with Tam. I had a really good climb and we did some nice, hardish climbs. I enjoyed it much more than last time we went (but then I didn't fall 6ms....)
Tuesday I went to see the movie 'The Jacket'.
Wednesday I got 10 of the books I ordered from Amazon - the first 5 in both the Akira and Buddha series of 'graphic novels'. The Buddha series is by Osamu Tezuka, the same guy who did astroboy, and covers the life of Buddha (no surprise there...) Now I just have to find time to read them.
Went to Pilates and Capoeira and had a pretty good time. We did lots of back twisting stuff so it wasn't as aerobic as usual, but just as hard work! Met a guy there called Matt who is a kickboxer and climber. Because we were doing head stands he showed me the scar on the back of his head from a 45ft fall he had - fortunately cushioning his blow with his head!
Last night (Thursday) I went indoor climbing with Tam and Rhys. Worked really hard for some reason, but that's all good. I had to climb in civilian clothes and hired shoes because I forgot my own stuff, which kind of sucked.
And now I am looking at a long weekend of coding - Starting at 5am tomorrow morning Alasdair and I are going to be coding in railsday.com. Not so much to win prizes (that's hard to do when we don't have any experience in the language or framework) but to motivate ourselves to learn that new language, framework and maybe some idioms.
Going to be hard work though!
Oh, sometime this week I also finished Terry Pratchet's 'Hat full of Stars' which wasn't as good as 'Wee Free Men' but is certainly some of the best stuff he's written lately
