The Big 50K
Monday, March 20, 2006
OK, so this post should have probably been two days ago, but I forgot to write that this blog has just witnessed 50,000 page views. So maybe not exactly the same as 50,000 unique visits, but it's a good milestone to have hit within three weeks of the site's one year anniversary.
This morning was an early riser by weekend standards as I had to be at Olivia's for ten. I set off with my 80 litre rucksack, packed with neoprene, foam and engineering drawings to get started on the bag. I was a little worried that I would be returning citing problems with sewing the stuff, but her sewing machine seemed to handle the stuff with no effort. That is, until the needle got broken. Hopefully this won't be a recurring problem, as I was very impressed with the small amount of stitching we did manage to get done. This bag is going to look mint.
The rest of the day was spent watching Loughborough win the Commonwealth Games. According to the house statistician (Sean - which could mean this is wrong), if Loughborough University had been a Commonwealth country, we would have been second in the medals table by now. Good effort.
Tonight I am looking forward to a meal of steak and mash, which will hopefully give me enough bounce to complete another section of web-orientated dissertation.
