So havent been up to much.

Well it has bee along time since I have posted.

So 3 weeks ago Kelly and I took a week off work and went up to the bay of islands. It was wicked. The weather was fantastic blue sky’s the whole time. We did the tourist thing while we were there. The hole in the rock was fun, we went in on the excitor. We also went all the way up to the cape and saw the lighthouse the scenery on the way up was amazing. We found a sweet camping spot on the way up which we may have to try out in the summer. We also went sand boarding at 90mile beach which was great. When the man was explaining to us how to go down the dune he pointed to one and we thought it was decent sized and he explained that was the practice one and the pointed to the huge on behind and said “after you happy on the practice you can do that one”. Haha well we thought he was joking, as it was about eight stories high. But he wasn’t. It took us over half an hour to get up the big dune. You take 1 step forward and then fall 1/2 a step down. But it only took a few seconds to come down. The rest of the time was spent just cruising around seeing the sites and sounds of the far north.

That weekend was also a Rally sprint up there. We have been working on the car trying to get it to handle better. First there was no suspension travel and the brake bias was on full rear. But the car has rattled me, and I’m way off the pace but improving. (Kelly even told me to harden up and drive faster). I had a big spin every run up there and placed 8th. Each spin I wound more out, but each run I was trying harder and braking later so by the end of the day I had wound another 2 turns out of the rear. I had 1 extra run at the end of the day to take a fire fighter for a run and on that time I would have made the run off. To little to late. But I still had a great day.

Chrystal and Mike are house sitting one of the most wicked old houses. It sits on top of this hill over looking the harbor and it has its own little bay. They decide to have a 70’s party mind you we over there the weekend before and finished a bottle of baileys, a bottle of zamboka, 3doz beers and a cask of wine (all class), the end of the evening got very clouded, but goods times. Anyway Me, Kelly, Andy and Alice we along. I had the sweetest platform shoes ever, Andy had is pimp cane and the girls were looking fine. We were set. Kelly was bounding all over the place having a great time and I was well in the swing of the 70’s. Needles to say the next day we didn’t do anything.

That’s about it. Yea it turns out I cant write cool things.

Our house is still standing, I got officially promoted I’m now a senior developer - not to sure what that means, One of our flat mates moved out, I’m still racing, Kelly is a teken master – she is addicted I think, I went for a race with Andy, found a sweet Indian restaurant, I’m drinking like a teenager again, Mum is touring the world, Edog is leaving on the 5th of next month – hope he gets his visa soon, we stayed in a hotel that had a spa in out room, haha it had 1 wall of full length mirrors, we went to Taupo for a weekend and winter is coming

Here are some photos:

Long time no post

2007-06-13T10:34:00.000+12:00

Well I have been so busy that I havent had time to write cool things, but a full post will be comming on the weekend....

Stay tuned.

What’s been happening.

2007-04-24T15:59:00.000+12:00

Well not last weekend but the weekend before I went racing the first round of the rally sprint series, I made Kelly feel sick and managed to put my car off the road in the run off for the top 4. wicked... But there was no damage just needed to be pulled back on the road.

But what was funny was that ed missed his run too because he was borrowing my belts each run cause his had expired.

Last weekend had breakfast with one of Kelly friends and then went to the park with the rest of the crew, just mucked around played some cricket and the all time favorite…“Face ball the other person while they aren’t looking”. It was a good day.

Other points to note:
ANZAC day tomorrow. Went to the zoo, went to the Easter show, did the vertical bungee, went to a Megan Foriers wedding, went mountain biking (I spudded in). i brought my ticket to go see Block Party. My mortgage is costing me lot of money…. So is my racing.

Rock on

Rally car fun.....

2007-03-30T09:29:00.000+12:00

I got my car back last Tuesday it looked great, not a dent in it and all painted. So I took last Friday just to put it back together and do a few minor things to get a warrant.

On Monday mum took it to the mechanics to get a warrant. It failed because it is to loud and I need a front sway bar bush, that is cool but when mum was driving it home the mechanics forgot to put the bonnet pins in… so the bonnet came up smashed the windscreen, got the roof, bent the bonnet and gave mum a hell of a fright. But the damage done isn’t to bad, so I now have a new bonnet coming and need to get the windscreen cut out…. Fun fun fun

On Sunday dad went down to Taupo with the three wheeling orange machine for a track day. He had a great day, apart form the last session, when it would seem the oil filter fell off and he lost the engine…. So that is also currently being rebuilt.

Camping fun

2007-03-22T12:52:00.000+12:00

So the camping trip was interesting to say the least. Kelly and I didn’t arrive till about 12:30am at night after I got held up at work with a site going live. But when we arrived we were greeted with Michael and Mel sitting in Chris Moons campervan having a few drinks. Only to find out that chris was leaving to go back and pickup hay in the morning. And he would be back after that. Saturday consisted of Chris staring his generator to run his toaster and a lot of swimming and the arrivial of E-dog. Somewhere along the way the girls had decided to make this a “wild and wacky dress” party for Saturday night. The highlights I have to say here Tim in the mesh shirt Dan in the bikini where you could see his twig and berries, and ed getting swapping with clothes with Kelly’s friend… he looked so pretty in that purple dress. Eddie the Fuhrer with controlling the four king game. Chris arrived back loaded with dive gear. Sunday consisted of hangovers, relaxing, swimming a spot of cricket. And packing up.

Daniel was no match fo Mr burnie's fast attack

We also had our flat warming at the first real test of the deck and it passed with flying colors. check it here. kellys page :)

Moved In

2007-01-30T12:05:00.001+13:00

So me and Kelly moved into the new house over the long weekend, with a great deal of help from Ed. Michael, Dan, Alex, Tim and Kelly. It is all setup now apart from 4 boxes… we seemed to have a comical amount of boxes to fit in. I have know idea we they have gone. After the shift on Saturday of course a few beers where on the cards followed by a few more, followed by more torpedoes, followed by some rum, followed by some drinking games – which were going well until Michael Marren and Mel turned up, Mel was drinking some milk based drink… mmmm did it mix with rum and beer well, followed by ed loosing and having to down the curdling mess. Sunday and Monday was unpacking fun.

Will post some picks soon.

So I took an IQ test.

2007-01-30T10:09:00.000+13:00

Not to sure as to what exactly it means… I’m just glad the didn’t have any spelling questions… I would have been stuffed.

Anyway I apparently have an iq of 130… Don’t know really what that means but oh well

This is what they had to say

You are gifted with the natural fluency of a writer(ha i hate writing) and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.

Insightful linguists can take complex concepts and articulate them to just about anyone. You have a gift with words and insight into processes and the way people think. These talents enable you to explain things clearly to people.

You have an uncanny ability to work your way out of sticky situations using your talent with words. Crossword puzzles, debates — you're particularly well equipped to come out on top since you can read people well.

Like Charles Dickens, your verbal skills go far beyond having a good vocabulary. Dickens' genius was in the artful and descriptive way he crafted sentences. Also Dickensian, is your keen eye for detail and your adeptness for identifying the best way to express an idea based on your given surroundings and circumstances.

Your ability to communicate your vision clearly will take you far. So enjoy being perceptive, and make the most of your abilities as an insightful linguist."

Score
mathematical
You scored in the 90th percentile on the mathematical intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did.

Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which means you're probably the one your friends look to when splitting the lunch bill or calculating your waitresses' tip. You may or may not be known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier to you than it does others.

visual-spatial intelligence
You scored in the 100th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did.

The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should come next in a sequence. Your score was relatively high, which could mean that you're the one navigating the map when you're on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity, an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors.

linguistic intelligence
You scored in the 100th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did.

Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends.

logical intelligence
You scored in the 70th percentile on the logical intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 60% - 70% of people who took the test and that 30% - 40% scored higher than you did.
- think i should give up being a flash devloper and go cut grass.

logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station.

BDO 2007

2007-01-26T10:14:00.001+13:00

Was great, my best one ever… Apart from it sold out, there were a lot of people in a small stadium but it was still fun. We kicked it off with Minuit.. they were a fantastic start to the day, they got us up there and dancing… we then went to the Tuts… there sound was defiantly letting them down. I left the girls to it for a few hours while I went Hot Chip, and half of Diplo, before finding Ed on the walk to Kasbien, who rocked. We then met back up with girls for the killers it was so busy at the main stage it was crazy. Me and Ed then stayed for Muse and topped of the evening with a bit of Tool.

I have to say that going to one of those events makes you feel so normal… there were some crazy looking people there.

But all in all it was a great day out

Have been working crazy hours… Summer is almost here… Hooked my self up a board with some guys from the shore… Went to Christmas in the park, got rained on… Went to Jabes and Jaz’s house warming… I came third in my second event in my new car, Dad rebuilt Michaels engine in the orange beast, I’m still waiting for dry cell a battery for mine, (2 weeks so far), it’s about to go to the panel beaters, eDog has straightened his diff and rebuilt his gearbox. Kelly got backed into smashed her boot, I grew a mo… well really a beard for movember (photos soon), I tried to extend it to mocember, Kelly told me it would quickly become nocember, so I shaved it of...

Correction had found a house…..

2006-11-06T15:03:00.000+13:00

On Monday night last week we all (Me, Kelly, Mum, Dad and Kellys dad Ron) went round to the house to have look and decide if I should make an offer or not. I don’t think the agents knew what they were in for as you could see the look if confusion and dismay when we got the ladder out so we could look though the roof, after a hours deliberation we decided that the house was sound but the retaining wall holding up the section behind was rotten and needed to be replaced at a rough cost of about 15 – 20 k, well that blew my budget so we walked away. Oh well...

Also I sold my rally car, Edward also sold his and brought Tony’s performance machine…

And cheers for the phone call with all the monkey sounds at 2am on Monday morning.

Have found a house

2006-10-30T15:43:00.000+13:00

I have found a house, and at this very moment waiting for financial approval from the bank.... We are going to look at again tonight, taking mum, dad and Kelly’s day as he is a builder. So if it checks out, and I get finance we will make an offer…….. I’m going to be so broke

2006-10-27T11:54:00.000+13:00

Loong weeekend

2006-10-27T11:51:00.000+13:00

Well the long weekend has come and gone, it was fantastic.

On Saturday I took out my new rally car for its first spin, Daniel at my side as my co-driver, he was looking a bit worried before our first run. But the nerves we soon subsided as we barreled through our first run. Quite surprisingly I was running in third position all day only missing the run off for 1st by 1 second. I was stoked with this as it was my first race and we weren’t running on notes (I had trouble remembering the two 10k loops). Daniel seemed to really enjoyed his day, I’m trying to talk him into buying a performance Suzuki Swift. Dad on the other hand didn’t have such a good day he only completed one run before we passed him on the side of the road, he had alternator problems namely the alternator cable melting and shorting on the extractors. E-dog was on fire in the blue beast setting some stunning times.

That evening Me Kelly and Alice went up tot the Sims batch at Matheson’s bay for the rest of the weekend. Not much really happened as the crappy labor weekend weather crept in. We just relaxed, ate and had some drinks (I also slept a lot). Tim and Kelly came up on Sat and enjoyed the rain. Tim and I made and destroyed a sand castle while the girls waited on. Apparently we will never grow up according to the girls. We also had lunch and played on the swings at the sawmill café, which was fun.

That’s about it

We had an accident

2006-09-25T15:41:00.000+12:00

For all of you that don’t know… I had a head on accident last Sunday in the way home from a Rallysprint up North.

We (Kelly and I) were heading home. We were almost at Kelly’s house, heading down constellation drive when a car did a slingshot past another pulling directly into our path about one car length in front of us, crossing double yellow lines in the process. There wasn’t enough time to put on the brakes. We impacted dead center, and because I was towing I was in the 4WD and we had a lot of momentum on. We went up and over them pushing their engine into the firewall and smashing everything in our path. But thankfully we only just reached their windscreen before we spat them out the side and up the road. With the force of the impact the trailer came unhitched and rally car tried to come up and smash us in the rear. Thankfully we tie down our cars really well, and the safety chain is heavy-duty. But it broke the rear suspension in the car, and not to sure what else has been damaged on the car at this stage. The Honda that we hit was unrecognizable. Kelly and I were unhurt apart from bruise’s and as I turn out I received a concussion but didn’t realize at the time. They on the otherhand were not so good there was blood everywhere, the female passenger was screaming, it was blood curdling and she was also trapped for a while, I think she broke her legs, hurt her chest and she was spitting out teeth. The guy had a cut up face and I think his broke his arm. To top it all off he was driving, 17 and they think he was drunk…. Wicked. After that I absolutely wish and hope this never happens to anyone. Even at the lower speeds we were doing the impact was so hard it is indescribable. The ambulance and fire service people said that we all extremely lucky and that they couldn’t believe how little injures there were for the impact.

But my cars have been written off… so the games begin

That’s all really.

Hey all ive lost my cell phone

Hi

2006-08-24T16:31:00.000+12:00

Hey all yea I’ve been hiding.. well I’ve actually been on holiday for the last two weeks, and it has been great. I didn’t really do too much. Kelly and I went up north to the Sims batch, I haven’t been up there sine it was a little kid. It was fantastic just getting away and the batch had changed so much there are now rooms down stairs and the whole place has been done up. also check out the wizard -->

We are going to try and sort out some summer missions, as they have a wicked deck, situated in the bush, great view and only a 2 minute walk to the beach if you amble slowly.

Also I raced on sun at the 4th round of the Fortron rally-sprint series, it was a tough day with crappy weather and a slippery road but it was still a great day, I ended up wining my class with Ed 3rd. So that means I’m still leading the series and ed second (I think). Also dad set some blistering times in Michaels car to place 2nd in his class so it was a great day for all.

Well it was Scottys funeral yesterday quite a tear jerker... There was a huge turn out of about 200, a whole lot of faces that I haven't seen in along time, not the best way to see them all.

After the funeral we went round to Ernie and Scottys, and have a few bevies- well alot of bevies, I have to say that I was a bit of a mess but you get that.........

On a other note I just got an email from rodical here is the pic he sent.

Bad Times turn to Worst Time...

2006-07-21T12:00:00.000+12:00

It is with huge sadness that we all learned yesterday morning that Scotty J has passed away.

As you all most probably know Scott Jenkins (Scotty J) had a bad accident in the weekend and was in an induced coma in intensive care.
http://www.mikeandbeka.blogspot.com/

Everyone is devastated, and no one knows what to do. We all went to James Bell's yesterday just all trying to take in what has happened.

Our thoughts go out to his family, Erin and the others over there dealing with this tragedy.

Also a account has been setup to help his parents get him back, I don't have the detail but will post it when I do.

Mike and Beka have a blog

Cut me off at the knees and call me a tripod.

2006-06-06T10:15:00.000+12:00

Well….. sorry about the slow response. But hey I’m useless.

Anyway the race in Matamata 2 weeks ago…. It was a fantastic day. The weather held out and the road was fast. Dad was racing Michael’s car, I was locked it a battle for first the whole day and was piped on the final run by 0.8 of a second over 10ks. Ed placed third pulling over a minute off his first run time… haha but the most interesting story of the day was when dad managed to turn Michaels car into a tripod, by ripping off the front right wheel. Well to be honest it was really his fault. On closer inspection the bolts on the suspension didn’t seem to be up to the job…

Also Kelly was in the car with me on the first run, by the time we got to the end it was taking all her concentration not to throw up… so I had to take her helmet off and un-belt her… hehe but the most amazing part of the story is she got back in the car with me on the third run… that’s committed (hell I wouldn’t even do that)…..

I will post some pics up soon… also I have just got back from up north for the long weekend… more on that later

Will let you know how it goes.

Hi all this is the site that I have been sloggin my guts out over for the last 6 weeks.

http://goyellowlife.yellowpages.co.nz/

I was the flash architect and the lead flash developer on this project.

What is it:
Well it is a life event planner that helps you with some of the biggest events in you life, it provides you with a calendar interface and it has "moments" that are pre-populated according to the life event that you have signed up to, These moments give you tips and advice about things that you might not have thought of associated with that life even. Also you can create custom appointments and get an email reminders sent you the morning of the appointment. (I bascily built outlook on the web for people).

Hi all on easter weekend has come and gone, a whole lot of fun came along for the ride to. On thursday night we went to deep hard and funky, it was a bit of a hard way to kick off the weekend but it was great. On Friday i awoke to michael (who shold be feeling worse than us) beating down my door, yelling at me to get up. Tim and Kelly who also had just arrived were getting in on the act to.

Well we packed up and went down to the lake it was just Me,Kelly,Michael,Beka,Tim,Kelly,PC and Cory. The rest of the family were at race to the sky in Wanaka and the Allingtons werent going down. So it was upto us to lead the charge.

It took us about 4 hours to get down there because of traffic and mucking around, but Tim had already gone ahead and got us a camp area sorted.

It was a fantasctic weekend down at the lake and as perusual hotwater was a draw card. Close on 2 dozzen beers 1 bottle of canadien club, + what the girls were drinking over the course of the afternoon made for an interesting next morning.

Below are some pics they were taken on the last day when PC, Cory, Tim and kelly had gone home.

Well I’ve just finished a 75 hour week, this one has just rolled into on big blur. But I went to Waiwera last night (Sunday) with kelly. It was a good way to end a stressful week. I also went on all the slides haven’t really changed to much since I last went years ago.

Also Tim and Kelly bungeed of the harbor bridge on Sat and Tim managed to get himself soaked up to his waist. hehehe

That’s about it. Peace Out

Michael (my bro not Michael Marren) competed in the rally of Tauranga on the weekend while I was at an engagement party. Beka was his co-driver, and he placed first in his class and an 16th overall after being seeded 53rd out of 56 starters, I was also his first rally in his new car and I think he also got second non turbo car behind Dave Strong (NZ 2WD Champion) .

So he had a good weekend.

Went to Master G’s wedding last weekend. It was held on the beach at Hahei. It was at the end that Dan and Tim go free diving for crayfish. They had managed to make an path out of huge stones that lead down the beach from the stairs to where they got married. It was great, the bride was beautiful, Gareth was looking sharp to. Michael was a groomsman. It was a small wedding but everyone got along and the party afterwards was lots of fun. Hope to have some pics up soon.

Haha... Got a call from Allan on wed night, now boys (Darren and Allan) don’t do killing yourselves over there in London.

On Saturday I raced in the Possum Bourne Memorial Rally. I managed to place first in my class with Edward second. Also I managed to beat all the cars in the class above, apart from one. Needless to say I had a good day - apart form a couple of spins and one big moment at high speed. Michael Marren has his new rally car out (GSR), but a mechanical failure on special stage 3 forced him out, the rear dif bound up solid.

Full review and pics comming.....

I had to go in a finish a project at work today (will post a link when it is live). YAY I love working on beautiful and fine days especially a Saturday. Bit I did pick up my new rally tires. I'm getting already to do the Possum Bourne Memorial Rally on the 4th of march, should be good. Only problem is trying to find a co-driver, Michael and beka have there touch finals on that day so no Michael.

Got a call from Darren well it sounds like he is having a good time in London it was hard to distinguish between words and slurring, but I did get put onto his taxi driver and had a good chat with him. Apparently he is a student and is studying accounting and business or something like that.

Also last night went to the Chinese lantern festival in Albert park, I have to say that it was pretty dam good, a lot of effort had gone into to some of them.

that's about it.
