Matt Teager dominated Sunday’s race at the Grand Prix track in Crawley. He was easily fastest and lapped around six tenths faster than anyone else. His driving though was controversial, he was the best out there but seemed to feel that as everyone else was slower he had no qualms bumping them out of his way. It was this and a couple of yellow flag infractions that gave him three black flags over the event but he was still able to come away with the win.

The first round at Crawley saw Craig King come good having run to fourth in the Christmas race. His win and topping the two sessions put him comfortably top of the standings but he will not be able to defend his lead this time out. He is unable to attend and so this is the opportunity for others to catch up. Matt Teager returns having missed May and should be considered favourite due to his pace at Christmas.

The race will again be taking place at Crawley on one of their two tracks.

So last year I went to the Internet World conference at Earls Court unsure what I would find. I came out having visited many useful speeches from knowledgeable people about the Internet.

I have followed the BTCC for a while. I am not sure I recall a time though when the grid was this healthy. Come the end of the 2009 season things were looking bleak for the series as the last of the manufacturer teams pulled out when Vauxhall had their funding removed. This weekend though will see 23 cars take to the grid in Thruxton as the thirty round (over ten events) season gets under way.

So this morning I got around to picking up Adobe CS2 from the post office. On the way home I opened it up, I found that the disc was two tones of white and the image on the disc was slightly compressed. Expectations were therefore not that high when I got home and chatted with Adobe via their website. I gave them the product key and they informed me that the key was not valid. Yey for more non-official products on ebay.

Back in November Craig gave me a phone to sell on ebay, a week after that I tried placing it on the site only to find that the adding process would not complete even though all required and some non-required fields were filled in correctly. I put this down to a small bug that would be fixed and left it – granted Craig would have preferred I didn’t leave it as long – until two weeks ago. This time the item added fine and I was happy enough with the ebay fees of £5 or so for listing the item on the site as we expected it to go for a lot more money. I’ll just say I am sure neither ebay nor paypal used to take such a large share of the monies generated.

You may or may not know that several months ago my friend Craig and I launched (well almost) our own hosting website. I’ll tell you more about that in another post in the future when we have finished tinkering. Part of that process meant signing up as being self employed, I thought that I’d take the opportunity to earn some extra funds and build websites for people in my spare time. Well the first of those websites has now been launched.

All I did was post an innocuous little comment on the BBC website about how Peugeot and Citroen should evaluate the 107 and C1 respectively because the accelerator has a habit of sticking and I get a call from the BBC asking me to be on the radio that night. Well, as nervous as the idea of being on radio may have made me, I couldn’t exactly say no to that kind of opportunity, could I?
Here is an audio of my radio debut… I don’t sound too retarded.

This is a list of the games that have already been announced that I am excited about in the next five months. The fact is that it appears that most of the good games coming out this year are coming in this period due to the Modern Warfare 2 effect experienced at the end of last year.
In relative chronological order then:
Mass Effect 2 – Xbox 360 – 29th January 2010

The votes are in. Four of the nine shortlisted films failed to garner a single vote, these were:
- Juno
- Atonement
- Wall-E
- In Brugges
The Dark Knight and The Bourne Trilogy were next receiving just 9.5% of the vote each. This leaves the top 3 films of the ‘noughties’ as voted for by you.
We have a tie for second place:
