I’m selling my Specialized Hardrock mountain bike on eBay. With my new job I don’t get to ride it at all. In fact I’ve done less than 20 miles on it.
It’s a fantastic bike. It’s a Hardrock Sport with disc brakes and front suspension. If you’re interested in bidding go see the eBay listing.

Update: The bike is now sold.

Wow, my page counter, which has been going about 4 months less than this blog has just passed two million!
That count includes bots and refreshes, whereas the real counter is a count of real visitors.
The stats counter, which has been going a year less, stands at almost 170,000. I seem to be running at about 370 to 450 real live visitors a day. Most of them (76%) are still running Internet Explorer, but that’s a long way down from previous months, with Mozilla/Firefox and Netscape taking up another 22% of the total. Interestingly the various flavours of Windows account for just over 90% of my visitors, with Mac OS X (3.8%) and Linux (2.6%) making up the only other sizeable chunks.
In all of these I don’t count myself, of course: all of the machines/browsers I use have cookies to exclude my own visits from the stats.
Google is the top search engine with over 71% of search hits, followed at a distance by Yahoo! (16.1%) and MSN (8.4%). AOL (2.4%) heads the rest of the pack (22 different search engines identified).
“chester bennington”, “mike” and “s club 8″ are the most popular search terms bringing people to here.
*Yawn* even I’m bored now, so I’ll stop…

Well, we’re all aboard and settled in to the new server now. It is much, much faster than the last place. I’m not constrained space wise either.
I still have some tweaks to do, e.g. I haven’t set up any cron jobs yet. But everything is hunky-dory so far.
I think it’s about time I redecorated, so to speak!

I have set in motion the move of zed1.com to another server. DNS takes a while to propagate, so you may find this site disappears for a while…
It should all be sorted in the next few hours and then hopefully things will be a little faster again.

Update If you have trouble connecting to the site, you could try http://zed1.co.uk which will remain pointing at the old server until I’m sure everything has transferred.

Further Update: If you are reading this update, then you made it to the new server!
