Jumped

Good afternoon. So I'm walking home at about 12:30am, I do enjoy a late night stroll home from Watto's if I've had a couple of beers. It's only about a mile and quarter away from where I live. I get close to my place and hear a couple of lads walking behind me, no problem, usual stuff. They get right behind me but no alarm bells go off, I'm just ready for them to walk past, but instead some hands come from behind and grab my face. I was now very aware of what was going on, so I just ducked out of it and got on my toes, one of the lads gave chase but gave up after about 20 seconds. Doubled around the block and then walked past the same place but they'd moved on. Was an interesting end to the week haha.
CBT Motor Bike Course

I've booked myself on a CBT motorbike course which is mandatory before you start your lessons for a full license. Decided I'm going to get me some wheels so I can shoot up the motorway and get my skydiving category (whatever) certificate which allows you to solo jump from 3000 feet. I wish they did skydiving in Liverpool...

It's boxing day and I'm keeping things light. Here's 120 seconds of some real world footage.
Take it easy and drink responsibly
All the best, Ryan
My bike was stolen

After blogging yesterday it was time for work, on my way out I noticed my bike had vanished.
Happyness'O'Meter
| 7:30am | Cup of coffee, blogging |
| 8:30am | On the way out my flat, notice bike has been stolen |
| 8:59am | Notice my XDA's firmware version is "1337" |
| 10:23am | Notice I'm taking this 'bike stolen' thing pretty well |
| 11:47am | In a meeting with NetApp, impressed by their approach |
| 11:52am | Think about blogging the bike stolen experience tomorrow |
| 12:30am | Although they stolen my bike, they can never have my mind |
| 12:31pm | Realise how pathetic that sounds |
| 4:12pm | Cup of coffee, jam on toast, I've not eaten all day |
| 4:30pm | Call the police, realise why people don't like them |
| 6:00pm | Go climbing |
| 8:30pm | Go the pub |
| 11:30pm | On way in, hope they've put my bike back |
On other news, I'm making progress on the PHP video, ended up back where I started with Windows Movie Maker to re-master the audio. Should have it up tonight, and I'm also going to take a look at the BT Experience article and create a video for secure online banking, damn I'm behind.
