2.0

So I have just updated the iPod touch to 2.0 and paid my £6 for it. I must say that I like the app store and I think that some of the functionality is probably best suites the phone but I like it. Now all I need to do is get it synced with the mac and I’m laughing. This post was written using the Wordpress app, nice!

Trains and Delays

I hate writing a moany post but at the moment its how I feel.  Its been a bit of crazy few weeks, Katie and I have been out and about and about which has meant that the gym has gone by the by and I’m quite conscious of this, because this is how the weight start to goes back on quite quickly.  At the start of this week I wanted to get back into the routine and today is currently Wednesday and so far this week I have tried to go to the gym on Monday and Tuesday evening.  Virgin Train’s however have seen fit to ruin my plans and cause obstructions on the line Monday which delayed my departure from Coventry and thus made me too late to go to the gym.  Tuesday I spent 2 hours sitting in Birmingham International concourse because of a broken down train on the line.

I understand that none of these are Virgin’s faults but its just frustrating when you want to go and things conspire against you!  Today I have not brought my gym stuff (its a big bag to carry everyday to work) with me and surprise surprise its going fine and I’m not late.  Which makes me even more annoyed that I couldn’t go on the other days.  Bloody trains!

My Dad Went To School (Its A Private Joke)

So this weekend Katie, her Dad (Gez), Mum (Angela) and myself are off down to Brighton as Gez and Katie are going sailing over the weekend (weather permitting).  Angela and myself have two pairs of binoculars (one each) so that we can watch them but as I imagine they are going to be quite far away I’m planning to bring the MacBook and hopefully a video camera to film (plus it means I can use iMovie) to film them but hopefully have a bit of a wander around Brighton having never done so by myself before.  If the weather holds it should a lovely weekend break to what will be a busy week when I’m back at work on the Tuesday.

Launching A New Blog

Sorry for the shortage of posts of late, I’m currently writing some posts for my new blog IGotAMacBook. Its all new posts about my experiences figuring out how to use my macbook.  Having used a PC since forever, I am now making the move over to Apple.  I tried finding a blog/resource about moving over but I couldn’t find one.  So I decided to write my own (slowly), I will always be posting to 24randomthoughts.com but while I generate content for my new blog it’ll possibly be a while before I start on this one again.
