So it`s September (how did that happen), and I have achieved nothing I set out to at the outset of this year. I do have reasons though and there are numerous one`s and some fantastic ones involving cows, a tightrope and a farmer riding a unicycle or another which has a tree, 4 jars of jam one jar of honey and a BBQ. But those I can keep as random excuses for another time.

So what have I been up to I hear you all ask?

Well my roller derby adventure has been taking up a fair bit of my spare time. The League is set up, training is going well and the girls have a closed bout coming up very soon. My ref training is starting to take off at last, but there is just so much to learn and put into practice it`s quite scary.

In other news I now have a lovely lady (who happens to be a roller girl and part of Fierce Valley Roller Girls as well). I also was training to take part in a half marathon on skates, down in England. I finished in a quite respectable time of 1 hour 11 minutes and 24 seconds, which was good enough for 62 out of 270 skaters excluding the ones who didn't finish. Not bad considering we didn't do that much training and we didn't push it too much after 2 days of walking around before it. Next year we will be going back to take on the full marathon and hopefully with more people than the 4 of us that did it this year. Myself and my lady also raised a lot of money for MS Scotland in the process which was fantastic.

So what have i been working on?

Truth be told, not much. Myself and Chris put together the derby teams website in an afternoon and have been planning the all singing and dancing version that should be coming soon fingers crossed. I also got the Radio Royal website finished off along with a bit of extra functionality they threw in at the last minute. Ive also been working on a few things for here including an animation and possible a little game as i have not worked with flash in so long and have forgotten so much. So keep your eyes open and coming back sometime hopefully ill have something new up here soon.
