Looking at old pictures is really good. I picked these out of my old media – I have about 10,000 old pictures. I chose them as good examples of trails for you to copy. Now get off the internet and go dig.

Well who’d have thought it. I have been trying to sell lots of junk on ebay recently and most of it has sold for a pittance. I just put this on about a minute ago and I have already had someone email me offering £30 for it. Nuts.

What should I do? Do I take the £30 and say thank you very much, or hold out on the auction, hoping that he will still bid the £30 anyway and that someone else does too, to keep the price high?

Should I hold out? Answers in the book.

There’s a new media page on the media page. Or here.

Yesterday was pretty good. We went to Sittingbourne in the evening and it was really quiet so we got a lot of riding done. you have to go really fast to clear the box, but it is fun. Very tiring though. Soon quite a few people went home and you could pretty much have things to yourself – I had the spine mini to myself for a while, and Tim was on the mini mini for a while too. I got some pictures which might be up tonight.

Tim went on a hunt for a new place to build trails. Have a look at what happened.

If you have never been here or here then have a look. Its really interesting what people do on the internet. The top four words searched for in 2004 on google.com were: britney spears, paris hilton, christina aguilera and pamela anderson. The rest of the top ten were: chat, games, carmen electra, orlando bloom, harry potter and mp3. A strange mix.

However on google.co.uk the list is very different:

1. bbc news
2. big brother
3. cbbc
4. autotrader
5. dictionary
6. tesco
7. eastenders
8. weather
9. british airways
10. national lottery

Just goes to show how boring British people are. Other things of interest are popular food:

1. pizza
2. sushi
3. bakery
4. chinese
5. italian

Some other interesting things: Last week, aishwarya rai was the second in the top 10 gaining queries, this week aishwarya rai was the highest declining query. Who or what is aishwarya rai? 5 minute wonder. Same goes for petra nemcova and jerry orbach. Who are these people?

Another interesting thing is here. Have a look at the week ending December 13th. For some reason, that week there were loads of people asking computer questions – web hosting, windows 2k, windows xp and office 2003. What’s going on there? Also the same week there were two highly declining queries for install windows xp and microsoft office. All I can think is that this was the week where some geeks were playing lets mess around with google.

Finally, although it didn’t make it into the top 10 of 2004, last year, paintball wasa very popular search word.

There you go that wasted some time.

Went to Sittingbourne last night at the last minute (sorry Nigel). The barend boys were there. I met Rory who was really friendly and showed him my barend sticker. He knew about our trails being plowed and stuff – it always suprises me when someone looks at my website.

This was also Tims second time back on his bike for 5 months (I don’t count flatland, cross country or all that stuff.) So that was good. And he didn’t break anything. I don’t think he’s fallen off yet though.

Sittingbourne was pretty busy. There is a box where the foam used to be, but it’s hard to clear. It has a good steep landing though, which is nice, but it makes it quite short. I have a few other pictures but no good ones.

Right: Rory over the volcano hip bowl thingy.
