On a first note, I have been working with Drupal now for little over 2 months which is why much of my own website has missed out on being updated, that and I’m not always in the mood for coding when I get home from a hard days grind! I am probably going to get around to working on the pages in the next few weeks if I allocate myself some time along with working on 2 other projects which I am keeping pretty close to my chest at the moment. I am still working on the portfolio section of my site and have some new photographs for my profile picture which I need to work on.
On Drupal I must say it is an absolutely awesome, powerful and scalable CMS! I cannot do comparisons between WordPress and Drupal as they both have there advantages and pitfalls (mainly trying to create a decent portfolio in WordPress without having to hack the core)! I am currently only working on my local machine with a theme for another site as well as a few other projects which are using Drupal as a CMS.
I have also just brought a new back wheel for my bike… A Velocity B43 rim over a sweet sealed hub with green and black spokes, it’s nice as it’s going to finish off the colour scheme on my bike… Pictures to follow! I am feeling a bit excited about its arrival and just waiting for it to be built by the wonderful people at Brick Lane Bikes.. I will give you the run down on how it runs when I pick it up! But I am also a tad jealous that Gayle is currently going through the ride to work scheme to get herself a new ride… Possibly the worst thing I have ever had to suffer as she has been umming and arring through 500 odd bikes… Now this all got exciting when Specialized announced that they would be releasing a whole stable of new singlespeed/fixed gear bikes! Now we had looked at rides from 14 bike co and Cavendish cycles and had contemplated a number of bikes from the mighty FMB Sword to a nice Bob Jackson (I would be very envious if she had gotten a Bob Jackson). Now in the interim those sneaky chaps and chapesses at Specialized had been working on new frames for Globe and the Langster range (see previous post). Now the New Langster steel didn’t exactly match up to expectations and looked a bit to racy for Gs standard of bike, but the Globe looked as though it had a more relaxed geometry and is carrying a super sweet Reynolds 520 steel frame with some super sweet off the peg extras for the top of the range model… Although the green isn’t super and at some stage will probably end up in Armourtec for a respray (mine may join it for a nice black respray), but it seems that Specialized have realized that people don’t want their bike covered in crap stickers, just a blank canvas so they can make it there own! It may need a few changes (mainly stem, handlebars and colour) here and there but for a bike that comes off the peg the way it does I would be chuffed to bits and a bit envious that G is getting this ride.

Thank you so much for your kind comments, I would publish them but they felt personal to me and I would feel wrong leaving them on a public website, especially my own! If you have a valid comment which may have even the remotest inkling to do with the post I would happily publish it for you to allow you to contribute to my site. For the time being I bid you good night.
