my dad bought a new r1 last weekend. it is pretty sexy with the exhausts running under the seat. looks like a bit of a rip off of the moto guzzi that my mum was on. met mum dad richard and vicky last night at the 'diner' for a belt buster. they are off to the races at donnington park and had a group of about 6 bikers with them.

spain
off to spain on sunday which should be fun. graham is borrowing the house which will take a weight off our minds and hopefully help him out. also i want to get used to the idea that when we go travelling we can rent our house out to get a bit of income (or at least to cover our mortgage).
now ely has internet access i should be able to carry on with most of my duties while i am away. still a bit worried about billing full amount while away so i am going to make sure i communicate constantly with everyone and keep a list of what i do so that i can justify the bill if it is necessary.

free weights
i am acheing today after trying out free weights yesterday. weights machines are good for a quick tone up but free weights really make the muscles tired and shaking. they get right into the sinews rather than isolating the muscle and trying to bulk it. it is easier to lift the weight as it is just an object you are trying to lift instead of a straight motion which makes it difficult to push properly.

xml is the dogs nads
i have been playing with transforming xml documents a lot recently and have come to the conclusion that xml is the dogs nads. most data tables in a database could very simply be turned into small xml files and referred to directly in xsl transformations reducing a lot of need for heavy database coding which becomes extremely complex. prototyping is made super fast in xml and i am sure if archiving could be made efficient even large tables could be turned into a large number of smaller xml docs.
very impressed!
