Been a bit of a delay in updates lately. Vasically, pulled my finger out and got a job and now I’m working as a support engineer at Positive Internet. So I started last Monday and it’s all going well so far!
Otherwise, not a lot has been happening ‘cos I’ve been a bit skint really 🙁
Last week, I was playing the Doom 3 Demo on my computer and it crashed and when I rebooted, my whole C: drive was buggered. It’s taken me a week of faffing around but last night I managed to recover all my music, movies and documents off it which is a relief as I didn’t have all of it backed up! I found this excellent utility called PC Inspector File Recovery which managed to search the drive for lost clusters and find my Documents directory. Looks like I had a stuffed FAT table. Learnt my lesson. Keep all my stuff in a more stable environment. Linux for example 🙂

Found out on yesterday that Pierre Moerlen died earlier in the week in his sleep. For those that don’t know who he is, he was a percussionist and drummer from Strasbourg who played in "Gong" and also played on a number of Mike Oldfield albums and live concerts.
It was primarily his drumming that inspired me to be more serious about percussion and drums so it is very sad for me. His drum solo at the end of Ommadawn in the "Essential" Live from Knebworth Mike Oldfield video remains my favourite bit of drumming ever. RIP Pierre…

Aah crap this is the THIRD time I’ve typed this! To summarise, pub crawl around Hampstead Heath,quick trip for the weekend to Amsterdam and a camping weekend in Dorset. Look in the Gallery for pictures. Grrrr.
