Work's finally progressing on several fronts, with changes everywhere. The return of the laptop means a weekend of data organisation and consolidation, stripping all the data fro 2 computers to the external drive before a full clean up of both systems. By the end of the process there should only be one main set of data on one computer instead of duplicates everywhere. Under normal conditions this would make no difference to blogging, but with Matt simultaneously getting close to completing the new site it's going to be important to get the background organisation right. I'm now looking around for free and controllable blogging software to move this blog to the new site.

 

The OM testing days idea is moving too, with Dom and I now working on the first one, probably Paramo and Garmin. It's going to be "interesting" sorting out the BBQ and costings for 50 people, and we'll definitely need to get a 10+ man tent. Once the first one's out of the way we're hoping next year to do at least 4, and I get paid on full daily rate for each :)

 

Nothing new on the lightweight front around at the moment, except if you count the Pound Shop doing sachets of coffee/milk or coffee/milk/sugar at 10 for £1. Jon's sending me some Salomon low cut boots to try out in comparison to the Merrell mid's and with luck I'll get to test them in Ireland or Wales next month.
