If, recently, you have read or, god help you, written a blog on wordpress.com recently, you will have noticed an “improvement”.
The boffins at WordPress headquarters have come up with some sort of system that inserts links to related posts at the bottom of every blog. V helpful, those boffins. In fact, if you’re a [...]

feel connected?

I was going to call today’s post “up before the dawn yet again” but, after three days, frankly it’s getting boring. Anyway, it doesn’t really describe the full magnitude of the situation: I’ve been up since 6am yesterday. That’s a lot of hours. I’d tell you exactly how many but my brain no longer stretches [...]

technical difficulties

I did a run this morning and at the time I thought it was pretty gosh-darn impressive. Clearly, not as impressive as my Anderson Street escapade earlier in the week, but pretty good nonetheless.
So I mapped it all out on mapmyrun.com, as you do. I then thought I’d have a stab at inserting the map [...]

what do you think of this?

I’m still stuffing around with wordpress, still getting used to the peculiar interface. I would have much rather had either a proper WYSIWYG interface or basic html, rather than the wordpress approach. Oh well, I’ll get used to it eventually, I suppose.

Aussie jumps for joy at record bike leap
I’m all for this [...]

Blogging code of conduct

There’s a thing out there now called the “blogging code of conduct“, which has been invented by a guy called Bill O’Reilly, who’s responsible for, amongst other things, uber-useful terms like “Web 2.0″. The idea seems to be that bloggers should commit to being “civil” and controlling the types of comments they get.
I don’t really [...]

too much running

I’ve been casting around for things to write about, now that I’ve sworn off all things public-transport. This blog has always been basically about running, hence the title, but I’m aware not everyone is as fascinated by LSD and fartlek as I. Therefore I try to add a little other stuff just to sweeten the [...]
