Happy belated birthday to me!

It was my 18th on Saturday, unfortunately I still had to go to work. I went for an evening meal with my family to celebrate and on Sunday I celebrated with my mates, we went to The Buttermarket for a responsible drink and party! I feel sorry for anyone who witnessed our dancing.

Interesting angle

What amazing presents did I get? I got an upgrade from my old Logitech MX510 gaming mouse to a Razer DeathAdder, admittedly I was first attracted by its pulsating blue exterior, but apart from the fancy glowing lights, it’s a very capable mouse. I got the Armadillo cable management system to go with it. It’s basically a heavy lump of metal which holds the mouse cable so that it can’t influence the movements of the mouse.

Changes to my WordPress blog

What’s so convenient about having my blog hosted by WordPress – I don’t have to worry about updating the software, yet I still get all the new features the moment they’re rolled out. That suits me especially as I don’t update my blog all that often!

Yesterday, I was poking round the WordPress dashboard to see what goodies I could enable when I spotted the domains section; WordPress gives you the option to either register a domain or point an existing domain to their server. For $10, I thought why not?! I registered a new domain with 1&1, set the nameservers and now my blog is located at philwylie.com! Does this make the blogs address any easier to remember? Probably not judging by some peoples spelling of Wylie. But still, the old URLs are redirected.

Charity fundraising 2006

A letter of thanks from the Jubilee Sailing Trust arrived this morning, it reminded me, I never posted how much money had been raised for both Talk Like A Pirate Day and the Sports Relief run I ran with Nick last year.

Jubilee Sailing Trust

Much thanks to those who bought the JST’s charity eye patches, I’d also like to thank Shrewsbury Sixth Form College and the friendly people at the Jolly Roger Card Craft shop, who were responsible for the distribution. Overall we raised £70 for the JST.

Sports Relief 2006, me and Nick ran, well I say ran, what I really mean is lightly jogged 🙂 on the 15th of July. It took a while to collect all the sponsorship, but I paid in just over £80.
