http://downview.co.uk A view from the hills Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:39:55 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Lovingly known as DM4C at EdComs Towers, we went live with our latest project today. A bit of a departure as it's more of a web app than an educational resource - a search engine to assist students to find chemistry resources from maths search terms and vice-versa. http://downview.co.uk/archives/24 Well, after my first attempt at Twittering last July, I've finally 'got' twittering. It's just about the right format to hold my (very limited) attention. 140 characters - perfect. That's not to say I'm a prolific tweeter, but I do like to post the odd tweet and lurk around some ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/21 ...need to update my theme here. It's all very well working on other people's websites, but it does mean you totally ignore your own for months on end, and in the case of this 'ere one - nearly a year. Disgraceful, especially now that you can use Gears etc... maybe ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/19 May 16th. The countdown's begun and we're actually starting to think about training. Sal, Jack and I signed up for the Moonwalk last year - a marathon distance walk through the night, starting at around midnight. We all get to wear pinks bars and tutus (very British) and we're really looking forward ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/17 We made it down here in really good time - so good in fact that the town was shut, so we managed to grab a few hours sleep in an underground car park! We've had a few days practice on the slopes now and have even managed a 'proper' slope today ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/15 Shocking weather this morning. Alarm went off a bit too early and this combined with the very heavy rain meant that I elected not to go running, rather defer to the afternoon. Good decision as it turned out. So, JC and I set off for an 11 mile run/cycle which tested my ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/13 Well, haven't posted for ages, and thought I'd try and get back into the habit. Just got back from a great run with JC in tow - dragged him up Bex hill, but it was worth it for the run down Easebourne Street - route is on Sanoodi (http://www.sanoodi.com/route/philjclarke/110517/25-11-2007/). Then ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/12 Another 'fit it in' run today - not too much time again, so we ran out on the quick 5K route. DP was a man on a mission, and kept the pace up (no doubt aiming for a PB this Sunday). It made me realise that I haven't been pushing ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/11 It was really wet today. All day. It was also the day we went to Goodwood (piccys over at Flickr). We had a good time, but the rain certainly dampened things a little. Emphasis was more on keeping going between attractions rather than basking in the sun and watching the worlds ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/10 Bit of a longer run today - up and out at 8am, and kind of started off without knowing where I really wanted to go (not a good idea) so just ran for a bit, and everytime I thought I knew where I was going to go I seemed to ... http://downview.co.uk/archives/9
