Until early 2009 I was a civil servant with responsibility for digital media strategy at the UK Ministry of Justice. I led a team managing a portfolio of websites and was a leading light in shaping and pushing the agenda for web2.0 / social media adoption in government.
Before I joined the civil service, I worked on web ’stuff’ in wider public sector, corporate, and agency environments.

Tired of being stuck inside I went out for a quick spin on my bike yesterday afternoon (also we were running low on milk).
This is the view from the top of the road leading down to my house. It was a fun slippery ride. Oh, and I left a guard to deter visitors while I was out.Comments [2]
I didn't take these snaps (I'm hoping to get over there today as its unlikely this will happen again in my lifetime) but its easier to post them up rather than keep emailing them around.
Simply staggering sight. I was on the beach last weekend and the sand was frozen solid. But snow? Covering the beach? FantasticComments [0]
Life was much simpler (or in Howies language, less complicated) when I rode my bike more. Or at least it seemed like that. Then it got played with less as stuff got more complicated.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm out on this thing for the first time in a year and a half. It needs a lot of work as it's been festering in all that time. Things need replacing, it's creaking. So am I. Half an hour tonight has sorted the punctures, stuck some pedals on it, and oiled the chain. It's only a start. No matter, I'm looking forward to reconnecting with the mud.Comments [0]
All bottled up and ready to go. Think I may have overdone it on the brandy though. Beginners bad luck with an unsteady hand I suppose.... ;)

It would have been cheaper to buy the real robot (and less stressful).
No matter, Junior LOVES it. P.s. Never again - and I don't take commissions.

Spent the afternoon with my Dad watching the local nags racing along the beach (who is over visiting). Priceless.

All stocked up and ready to go. Yes indeed, I even have tins of peanuts waiting for the guests.
