New York, August 2011

DSCN0291

New York is one of the cities which has been at the top of my ‘must visit’ list for years.  I was recently lucky enough to get a free trip there for 3 days…   I say free, I spent a day in a data centre building our my $dayjob’s New York POP, but essentially free!   What an awesome city!  I was staying on Wall Street just by ground-zero.  Its a very powerful site!  Below are a bunch of snaps I took with my point-and-shoot (Between belts of rain!).

I was recently lucky enough to obtain a ticket to the British Grand Prix 2011 qualifying at Silverstone.   Massive thanks to Karl Dyson who gave myself and Alex tickets to go!   What a cracking day out.   Saw some F1, GP2/3 and Porsche cup cars.  Weather held out for most of the day so that we could see some spectacular sights!

Until August last year, I was the proud owner of a Golf 25th Anniversary Edition… Number 1498. I then stupidly sold it and bought a BMW e90 325i M-Sport… This in itself isn’t a problem, as the BMW is a lovely car… its pretty poor on Fuel, but thats to be expected when you have a glorious 6-pot up front… but its just not the same as my Golf. I’ll be a golf owner again. That’s a fact.

Return to Blogging…

It’s been quite some time since i’ve had a blog.  So here I am again, thinking of things to write…   My aim is to blog about technology bits and bobs I come across in my work as a Network Engineer for a large enterprise.  Its more of a place to store information for me…  if you find it useful, then thats a bonus too!
