Another week without - Test articles

One arm bar hangA week without chin-ups is a long one indeed. Although the shoulder isn't feeling too bad when it isn't lifting any real weight, I decided to give it another week to heal.

I did, however, sneak a few deadlifts in there. Fairly light (up to 100kg - certainly nowhere near max).

Other than that, the grip, hand and wrist training continued. More plate pinching, bar hangs, fingertip push-ups, wrist curls and similarly fun things. Oh, and copious amounts of chalk. Long live the home gym.

New year, new computer - History

MacBook ProLast week a couple of old computers found a new home; no longer used here following two disastrous hard drive crashes last year. The upshot is that I've switched over to using a Mac (and I'm wondering why I didn't make the change sooner), and I'm sorting through a couple of old backup CDs which contain various snippets from the old site.

To top it all off, I've renamed the site, switched to a new host and tweaked a few things here and there.

Currently I'm looking through the various genealogy programs and utilities available for OS X, and I'll put a version of the tree up as soon as I find something reasonable. Suggestions are always welcome.

In the meantime, take a look through some of the photos uncovered here a while back. I'm sure most of them feature relatives, but there are a few mysteries in there. I'd love to find out who they are.
