First Steps…

Chris Richardson — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:03:39 +0000

Well the real estate agent has been notified and I’m moving house. Off to share a house which is something I haven’t done for over 5 years when I was studying in Melbourne. It’s going to be interesting but to over halve my rent and split my bills 3 ways the savings are going to [...]

Moved from dreaming to planning phase

Chris Richardson — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:20:56 +0000

A long time coming but I have now moved from dreaming about heading over to the UK, to planning it all and working out what I’m going to need in terms of funds and supplies. That and I have until I’m 30 before the working visa no longer applies to me and I’m way closer [...]

URL Shortening plugin for Twitter Tools

Chris Richardson — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:44:57 +0000

So I’ve been getting into twitter lately and figured it would be a good addition to my blog considering I’m fairly slack at posting anything here of real importance (this will change I promise). After having a read about I got onto Twitter Tools and all was well with the world. That was until I noticed [...]

Cirque Du Soleil

Chris Richardson — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 07:13:04 +0000

Wanting to do something different for my mum on mother’s day, my sister, brother and I put in to get her a ticket to see Cirque Du Soleil. It was also a great opportunity for me to go, so last friday off we went to see the show. We got stuck in traffic and ended up [...]

5 Minute Choc Mug Cake

Chris Richardson — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:34:11 +0000

When I got this chain email from a friend I was like “oh yeah what horrible joke is this”. I read down the email and still wasn’t sure, even after seeing the pictures I was doubtful. So as any other self respecting person who just has to test things out for themselves I set to [...]

Gym culture

Chris Richardson — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:42:21 +0000

I’ve finally come to grips with my new gym and their vast array of useful and useless equipment. For example some of the equipment has the weights labelled correctly and the machine in perfect working order. Other equipment however has no label on the weights and each plate I am sure weights a different amount [...]

Blogging, is it for me?

Chris Richardson — Sun, 17 May 2009 06:55:08 +0000

I have found it really hard to stay motivated to blogging. With facebook and twitter being so easy to update and interact with my friends I never seem to make it to my blog. I think part of the problem is I can’t find a theme I like and just don’t have the time or [...]

Macheist

Chris Richardson — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:15:58 +0000

Completely addicted to World of Goo thanks to the Macheist 3 bundle. Having only recently got my hands on my first mac I have to say that was a great bargin to pickup and get me some awesome software. Looking forward to see what the other apps can do to improve my day to day [...]

Gym

Chris Richardson — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:58:59 +0000

Recently changed gyms and the place is driving me crazy. Sure its nice and big lots of equipment etc but for the love of god can you label the weights on the equipment already. I don’t know if I’m lifting in kilograms or pounds and have resorted to saying I lifted this many plates this [...]

VicPolice txting me

Chris Richardson — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 04:49:11 +0000

Well sitting on the couch minding my own business and I get a txt message from none other than the VicPolice. Was a warning message about some extreme weather expected tonight and tomorrow. Now going beyond the fact that they can just lift my mobile number from who knows where this is a fairly good [...]
