    Quality or Quantity?

    Todays topic for discussion is quality over quantity. This was raised when I thought about how some people manage to update their website everyday, and I don’t. There are a few reason for this. One is that some days I haven’t taken any pictures. Another is that sometimes I am very busy. But this got me thinking, should I be doing updates often and not worrying too much about how good they are, or should I just do good stuff and have it more spaced out. Not really sure.

    Tonight I went to the trails and got heckled by some kids, so we embarrassed them by showing them how weak they were by their inability to push a wheelbarrow. I didn’t take any pictures (again) which is pretty terrible, but I had a good ride.

    Then when I got home I played the piano for about an hour which was just so fun. I love playing the piano it might even be more fun than riding. I just wish I had more time to do everything I want to do.
    Well one of the things I want to do is sleep, so I am going to do that next. Goodnight.

    Radiohead Victoria Park 25th June 2008

    Saw Radiohead last night for the 4th time. Bat for Lashes were supporting and were really good.

    It was a bit weird at the beginning as it was still light when they came on, and the atmosphere was a bit flat for some reason, but it soon picked up. We seemed to be in the best part of the crowd. It was like 40,000 people standing still and then the hundred or so where we were going mental which was good.

    Thom was pretty entertaining too. The crowd were so into it that people weren’t just singing along, they were actually singing the harmonys to some songs. Radiohead fans are pretty sophisticated.

    People singing along is one thing. Singing once the band has stopped playing is pretty impressive too, but this crowd was singing once the band had left the stage. 40,000 people singing Karma Police, with no conductor and no instruments is pretty amazing.

    Here’s the set list:

    01 Reckoner
    02 15 Step
    03 There There
    04 All I Need
    05 Lucky
    06 Nude
    07 Arpeggi
    08 Myxomatosis
    09 The National Anthem
    10 Faust Arp
    11 No Surprises
    12 Jigsaw Falling Into Place
    13 Optimistic
    14 Videotape
    15 Everything In Its Right Place
    16 Idioteque
    17 Bodysnatchers

    Encore 1:
    18 House of Cards
    19 The Bends
    20 Bangers ‘n Mash
    21 My Iron Lung
    22 Karma Police

    Encore 2
    23 Go Slowly
    24 2+2=5
    25 Paranoid Android

    BMX Track

    On a cold and windy day in January me and Pete braved a trip to the East side of Kent. I only just got round to putting up the pictures. The wind didn’t help at the track. In one direction you could go fast but in the other direction you felt like you were a snail.

    Changes

    The wife told me the guestbook was rubbish, so I brought back the old one.

    Also, I made a links page. I went through the old links page and it’s amazing how many sites have died. Most of the sites on the link page now have been around for ages, but the new ones seem to come and go a lot.

    A new server

    I have just moved to a new server so everything is a little strange. I will be doing little changes here and there and bringing the old stuff over slowly. Let me know if you have any problems…

    Freerider 2

    Do you remember line rider? Well now there’s Freerider (2 actually), and it’s awesome. Perfect for people who are too lazy to dig, too scared to ride, or adverse to this poor excuse for “summer”. Have fun.

    Once you get tired of making your own tracks then have a look at some of these tracks. I just want to see some proper trails. If you build something good then post the track code.Have fun…

    Your suggestions needed

    Sorry I haven’t updated in so long. I have been sort of working 2 jobs and then doing 2/3 hours a night at the trails too which doesn’t leave a lot of time for this thing.

    I am planning on making some changes to the site, as it’s been like this for way too long. I have some ideas myself, but I would really like some suggestions from people who use it (if there is anyone!). Any contributions you make will be greatly appreciated. Tell me what you don’t like, what should be changed, what do you want more of, what do you want less of, draw me a picture, or anything. Thank you!

    Oh you can  write on the guestbook or email me; ben at scruffian dot com…
