It’s the end of the decade… I suppose I should post something!
Thanks to the ever prolific Mr Pickard I have the kick up the arse to post my personal review of the decade. Quite a lot has happened.
I was still university at this point. I blew a lot of loan on a quality mountain bike. Our uni footy team, the mighty Byrom Palace, completed their only season of competition.
I spent the summer working at Max Spielmann and discovered just how many people took pornographic photos of themselves.
I also reached the pinnacle of my DJing career by playing in front of several thousand people at the BMX arena at the Birmingham NEC during the Bike2000 exhibition.
A big year this one. I met Claire for the first time… and after a bit of faffing around she eventually became my girlfriend! In the mean time I finished my useless uni course and celebrated by going to New York with the lads. A quality holiday.
Two months later I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, on the same day as the Twin Towers we had been standing on came down. Sedatives + Apocalyptic images = The most bizarre day of my life!
I tried to find a proper job to use my degree with, but the dot com bubble bursting made it tough. I eventually got a Christmas job at HMV and enjoyed it hugely.
I finished at HMV and started looking for work again. Struggled all year long before landing a job at Sony testing games.
That was as good as it sounds. But better.
Alas it was another temporary contract and just before Christmas I was back for another enjoyable stint at HMV.
Finally I managed to get a proper web designing job! After another couple of months I landed a job in local government, and I’m still doing it today!
It was also the year that this here site thing came into being. I think!

WordPress 2.5 is now powering my site. Very nice it is too, and a huge improvement in the UI department. One thing I like is the new way to upgrade plugins. It’s a one click deal, and works love. […]
