Updates Galore

Its been a bit of a while since I last wrote something here and a lot has happened since then. I unfortunately left Morzine at the end of April, however it wasn't all bad as the weather was really warm and all the snow had pretty much melted...the last few days of snowboarding were almost like water skiing or wake boarding. Which actually reminds me that I actually did go over water once! They set up a water slide thing in Les Croset on the last day that they were open and we just happened to come across it. After a lot of comtemplation about getting wet and having to board home soaked, I decided to give it a shot. As you guessed it, I didn't manage to completely clear it on my first attempt and got absolutely drenched! Seeing as my fear of getting wet was over I went about and did it another two times clearing it both times. The first two times were filmed and can be seen at the links below:
First (failed) attempt
Second attempt
After Morzine I came home to Germany, were I've been since doing all sorts of things. I have had a fair amount of time to work on my engine and have created a small graphics demo which can be found here: Angler Fish.
Pretty neat huh? I'm really pleased with the outcome actually and its nice to be able to see the results of the work I put into it.
I have made a lot of updates to the content in the last few days, and after having used the site for a bit I have noticed a fair few things that I would like to change to make it easier to use. I've kinda realised that I have made it into one of those generic blog sites that I dreaded making it into at first, so am definetely going to need to change that. Some of the other changes include creating a video section, merging the journal and the blog together (no point having them separate really), and completely revamping the home page and site styling. The big question is when am I going to do this? Well I'm having quite a lot of fun working on my engine recently so probably won't do it too soon, but if I find I need a break from it I'll get it done then.
Well enough rambling, take it easy,
Michael
