It's taken over 3 years, but I'm 1337!

Time for some geekiness, but today I became 1337 on the BDGA forum!!

Congratulations Obama

Well, it finally happened, the event which many around the world were talking about occured last night (UK time) and Obama won by a convincing landslide!

With Missouri and North Carolina still left to sort their lives out Obama has 349 electoral college votes, and McCain has 162. Being that the magic number is 270, it was pretty convincing even if the remaining states go to McCain. With almost 120 million votes cast with over 62 million going to Obama he wins with over 50% of the vote ... impressive!!

Now the hard part starts, what is he going to do in his first term in office? What is he going to achieve? Is he going to come through on all his promises about change? Time will tell.

But until then, congratulations again to the Obama camp! :-)

Spam Update - Oct

So I've had a few busy months with a wedding, house stuff, getting use to living with a woman etc. so October Spam -> 34,617 spam!

So an increase of 3k since August! That's insane!!

I wonder when I'll hit the 40k spam in a 30 day period mark?!?!?

Green Challenge - the tank of doom!

Driving home from the gym I decided that I would try and do a challenge to try and help the environment, my bank balance etc. so I'm going to see if I can get my tank of petrol through the whole month of November with driving conservatively etc. etc.

I filled it up the week before my trip, which never happened *sad face*, up to Burnlaw in September. I've only driven to Quarry Park and the gym since the fill up and my mum used it the last week to go to Rugby and painting so I've now got just over a 1/3rd of a tank left ... lets see if this works :-)
