I have now created my CNPS tracker site.
In theory it is possible to let other people use my server/db to create their own tracker page.
If you would like one, beg nicely.
I’ve also added a small tracker to the sidebar, so you can check my progress.
Only to go…

I have some spare invites for Gmail accounts.
If you want one email me at ryancullen@, well you can guess the rest (no, not hotmail.com!)

The Olympics seemed to be well run and well hosted. That was until the 200 meters mens final.
The Greeks booed the athletes, because their man wasn’t there.
Why wasn’t he there?
Because he failed to do two random drug tests, had a motorbike ‘accident’, pulled out of the games himself, and his coach was found to have a large supply of performance enhancing drugs.

A good read, very much like other Bill Bryson books, except this isn’t travel but science. Easy to read and understand, although I found I didn’t really learn much, but that might be because I was a keen scientist a school.

Hi-tech satellite systems used to open train doors automatically have been failing, leaving people trapped on trains in the South of England.
Now I’m no train expert, but why do you need a satellite to open a door on a train. Surely all you need is a train driver, and a open door button?

Finally got round to manually installing SP2 after it never arrived via AutoUpdate.
Can’t see much difference, and as I already have Norton Firewall configured, the Microsoft Firewall is pretty pointless.
Oh well, at least the machine is a bit safer.

Very good, a lot better than Michael Moore, however as it features a lot of US TV Presenters and Politians, most of the time, I didn’t know who they were on about.
Had me laughing in places, and there is a new paperback version out, with an extra chapter.

Having seen a post on Will’s Blog, a few weeks ago I decided to give it ago.
Once I can be bother to get motivated again, I’ll create a lovely webpage to record my progress (as www.cnps.org.uk is rubbish).
I am currently on 5 (having been stuck on 4 for a while).
Word of warning, try not to play on the M11 (whilst driving) at 10pm on a Sunday, it’s too dark!
Although my late night straw pole showed that only 64% on vehicles on the road, were ryan-cnps legal (no new plates, no old black plates, no foreign plates and no personalised plates, just good old A123 BCD or EFG 456H plates)

The I am reading / listening to … are now powered by a mixture of PHP, Javascript, XML, .htaccess, mySQL and Amazon AWS.
If you too would like an easy to administer (well once I write the front end, it will be), I am reading… piece for your blog sidebar then let me know, and I’ll create the code for you.
Just to let you know, I do let you have your own Amazon Associate ID’s, however 1 in 10 will be replaced by mine.

Got bored, so changed the name of the site.
I’ve also added Google Ads (as I felt left out from those with Blogspot ads), and Amazon ads.
Please click on them, and buy stuff, cos I get cash $:)£
