CWU - Final Report - Days 4 to 8

Day 4 started well with a slow but unremitting climb up to the coll between Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhòr. The second part was through excellent running territory with only small interruptions of mud and ankle breaking slopes. It started wet, but there were dry spells. The forecast was

Training for CWU.

Training for CWU.

I just wanted to post the training I have completed in the build up to not one, but two CWU runs over the past 3 years. This has been a long road with multiple injuries (mostly calf strains which require complete rest) and interruptions from work, unexpected international travel etc.

5 Days to Go...

One more recce done over the weekend! Travelled to Scotland and now in the final taper week before the big race. Took an opportunity to do the end of stage 6 and start of stage 7, the last 2 killer stages before the final stretch. Really hoping I get to

Race Day 1,2, 3, and ... Disappointment

Race Day 1,2, 3, and ... Disappointment

The CWU set off from Fort William in brilliant sunshine. I could wax lyrical about the first 3 days, brilliant sunshine, 30 degrees and terrific hills, heat stroke, killer hills, sunburn, hills.....but that would be unfair. The organisation was superb, the food not so much. Again, I found it

Please donate here: https://uk.gofundme.com/manage/pa-derung-longhouse-fire There are lots of tragedies and people in need in these pandemic days. However, losing your home and possessions on top of coping with COVID can only add misery to misery. In Sarawak near Bario an 8-door longhouse block and a

Back in the Saddle 👌

So first week recovering from the back strain was agony. Standing up to work was ok for 15 minutes, sitting down followed that and then the pain kicked in...4 days or working in the house rotating my environment like that. 😒 Finally, I knew I had to get out. So,

Injured! 😢

It began with a simple thing - packing the car to drive to UK to get ahead of the game for COVID quarantine and hill time for bogs, paths, trails and midges. Disaster struck on the last final piece (no joke) of luggage being pushed into the boot of the

IGNITE! SharePoint Migration Tool !BURN

Four words sum up my experiences with the recently announced [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Introducing-the-SharePoint-Migration-Tool-from-Microsoft/ba-p/109767] SharePoint Migration Tool. Another bomb from Microsoft.. Downloading and installing is pretty easy, but then try and use it: 1. Doesnt have ADAL support built in and so you need cloud

Ghost + Plesk = Rubbish

Ghost + Plesk = Rubbish

Recently I was getting fed up using ISPCONFIG3 for managing my sites. So I opted to go for Plesk [http://https://www.plesk.com/]. Lots of support, good interface, highly recommended, and supported nodejs for Ghost (uh-oh!) Long story short - took hours to migrate all my webs, databases and

Digital WorkPlace Conference - Sydney 2017

For me, 2017 is a year of new challenges and one of these is standing in front of more than 10 people (I hope) and presenting some content. I am really excited (this as you know is a trademark Microsoft saying) to be presenting at the #DMCAU in Sydney on
