A week to go!
It’s no longer a group event, just me and Nick, unfortunately Tom and Dave had to drop out after being denied time off work. 🙁
I estimate I have £87 of sponsorship money.
We’ll no doubt go to the Apple Store after, upload some snaps and blog the event!

Blogging Platform Justification
The question I’m being asked is, why did I choose WordPress.com?
I’m into website design, why not host my own blog software? I thought I’d save the hassle of maintaining another system, by using a hosted service I loose all control over the applications customization which therefore, will prevent me from making “just another little change here and there”…
I’ve seen my friends blog become a maintenance burden, although he doesn’t admit it! I’ve been helping Nick convert his custom blog software to a “more accessible” CSS layout. Oh how Nick loves his accessibility! 😛
WordPress.com wasn’t my first choice, years ago I created an account with Internet World so I could post an article I wrote at the time. Since then I’ve forgotten my accounts password! So I requested a reset but the system never actually sends out an email, as a last resort, I emailed the webmaster, still no response. I gave up.
WordPress offers me an advert free system, with a clean CSS based interface, that was me sold!

Sports Relief Fundraising!
I set a target of £75, already, thanks to people’s generosity, I have £72 pledged! You can view the progress online, on the Sainsbury’s Sports Relief website.
Eleven sponsors so far, which includes associates from over the interweb as well as colleague’s from my workplace.
The top sponsor so far has been Gerard Maguire, with £15! I must give Emily a shoutout for going round our workplace, getting people to fill in a sponsorship form!
