Robots are cool

Man, I’ve been busy recently. A couple of things of note: last week Stuart and I found one of the best tracks I’ve ever seen. A rather perfect technical singletrack down through some steep woods. If you rode it without stopping it’d maybe be a full five minutes of sustained and techincal riding. Stuart and I stopped at several places on the way down though, some sections just being too technical to get first time, if at all. In the end, a comedy tumble down the hillside put a big hole in my knee and put an end to the games that day. I’m afraid I won’t be disclosing details here, but the usual Haddy posse can be assured they’ll see the trail.

More recently Mike and I have been getting back into SC3 and are keener than ever. Or maybe we’re just keen to get it out of the way. Either way, SC3 development is continuing well and I’m making use of, and getting used to, the MVC web application architecture. ScottishClimbs itself seems to be growing well – we’ve recently released our own Apple iPods, with climbing accessories.

I’ve also just had a look at the new KiteWorld magazine. It’s not very often that I say “Fuck me!” when I look in kite magazines anymore, but this issue has some pretty special shots of wave riding in Indo. Definitely worth checking out and it’s made me really want to get away somewhere with consistent wind and waves.
