The Etherow Valley
A view of the Etherow Valley with the village of Compstall in the distance. As locations to work go, it is nice up in the hills during the summer months but very bleak in the winter.

Woodbank parkrun
This morning was the first outing of the new club vest. As I was also working today, I chose the Woodbank parkrun in Stockport. I learned mid-course that there is a particular offensively inclined hill alongside Vernon Park Museum which people are expected to run up, other than that the 5k course was relatively flat. A placing of 37th out of 120 was somewhat disappointing and i’ll aim for top 25 next time now I know where the hill is. I can hence estimate where my recuperation period should commence so I am prepared to sprint up it.

Raspberry flavoured Pi
The Raspberry Pi project is reminding me more and more of a time back in the 1980s when the BBC Micro computer was launched and people didn’t do much else other than sit in front of their machines for hours on end typing out lines of code from magazines such as “Input” Magazine. Of course back then there always ended up being a mistake somewhere in the code that you could never find after hours and hours of manually copying the code which was written in the magazine.
Given how cheap they will be to buy, I think i’ll get a Raspberry Pi Model B when they are launched and maybe even dust off the old programming magazines and plug in the good old BBC Model B as well!
