personal - binhead blog
Welcome to the Binhead blog. The title seems apt. Whatever rubbish is in my head will appear in this blog. And what exactly is a blog? Well it's basically a journal that is available on the web.
The
activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a
"blogger." So this is the blog of a blogging binhead blogger...so to speak! Postings
are arranged in chronological order with the most recent
additions featured most prominently. Get it? Got it? Good!
One word of warning: The content may be graphic intensive so loading times for the
blog may buck my usual trend of speed speed speed.

Visitors to this site
You know when sometimes you have time on your hands and just for the hell of it you do something that you would not
normally do? No? Well bear with me. I had one of those moments this morning. I decided to find out a bit about the people who visit this
site. Basically having looked at 100 unique visitors to this site, I found that two thirds are still using MSIE and the other third is
using Firefox. Actually that seems amazing considering the grip that Microsoft
has on us - and that is not a judgmental comment, because
I still use MSIE myself. However I am certain that the results would have been considerably different a few years ago. I suspect that had
there been 5 or even 10 percent of of my visitors using Firefox, that would have been a lot back then!

Another Half Marathon under my Belt
I ran another half marathon yesterday. To be honest, I would have loved a better time than 2 minutes, 11 minutes. However I enjoyed virtually every step of it. I am going to do it again next year!! Details are given in other pages of this site.

Scouting extravaganza
Well that was definitely £6.50 well spent! I went out with a group of people from work to an evening of music, sketches and mirth
all relating to scouting. It was a great evening.

Family
I went to see my cousin yesterday. It was a lovely day. I got to meet his partner, and my second cousins. I really should make more of an effort to see more of the family while I still have the chance.

My First Self certificate
Well this is a week of firsts. This is the first time I have ever had to have more than a couple of days off from work as a result of illness. In addition this is the first time I have ever had to complete a sickness self certificate.

Last Governors Meeting
I clerked my last governors meeting. In many ways it's very sad. I've been doing that at the school for the last 8 years or so. The governors gave me a little send off and a lovely little present. Very nice.

Cough cough cough!
Well I am coughing my guts up at the moment. I am off work. I can't remember the last time I felt so bad. Although the shivers have eased - and god they were bad - the cough is still hacking. I've dosed myself up with vicks vapour rub, Veno's expectorant, neurofen cold and flu, lockets lozengers and daytime television.

Skiing can be fun...Really!
Well I took 4 almost teenagers to Telford ice rink. Wow! How painful was that! It was the first time that I had been on
ice-skates since i was around their age. It has to be one of the most painful experiences...but also one of the most
funniest experiences that I
have had for some time. The pain came from falling backwards on the ice! I managed to hurt my butt, my left arm and elbow and
ended up with 'whiplash' type effects on my neck. However on the funny side, watching tens of people desperately attempt to stay
upright by grabbing onto the nearest animate object, was soooooo funny!! The expression on some of the faces of those being grabbed
was priceless... a mixture of panic and sheer terror on the face of the grabber and the
grabbee. A very funny day.

Bird flu
The bird flu 'episode' involving the Bernard Matthew's farm seems to be under control. But I am taking no chances. My rubber
duck is going into quarantine!

Stupid connection problems
I can't get onto the internet. last night I loaded my £60.00 2007 Norton Security and now I can't get on. I hate not having
access to the net when I need it. I've contacted my cable company - via India, where else - and have a technician coming out in THREE
DAYS since it appears the problem may be with the cable modem. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

My second game of squash
Well I played Clive in a game of squash - or 5 games to be precise. He whooped my behind. 5:0! Revenge
will be mine. Mhwuhaaaaaaa!

Wireless Router - simple as ABC?
I have cable broadband with a modem that uses a USB port. On the face of it, getting a wireless setup should mean
little more than getting a wireless router and a suitable adapter. But oh no. This is me we are talking about so things have to be complicated!
Most of the wireless routers being sold seem to use an Ethernet connection. I am having to ring around to find a suitable
router. Add to that the fact I paid for a ADSL wireless router by mistake, I am having a fine old time of it.

Happy New Year
I wonder what exciting things this year will bring?
- Increased global warming resulting in flooding of coastline, unpredictable weather and increased skin cancer perhaps?
- A further potential drop in my salary due to job evaluation?
- The execution of more heads of state for war crimes?
- Further conflict in the Middle East?
Ummm somewhat pessimistic perhaps. But the world is becoming a nastier place it seems to me. Oh maybe it was always like this and I
am just taking off my rose tinted glasses for the first time. I'll try and hope for the best but brace myself for the oncoming traffic of bad news.
