Make it Easy to Find
by
One of the most frustrating things with starting to use a new application is figuring out all the keyboard shortcuts that are available. Right now I’m giving Nambu a shot as a Twitter client. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a power user of any app. I love me some keyboard shortcuts, but good luck…
Being Flexible with Your Training Schedule
by
Thursday October 14 I had the great privilege of welcoming my first child (Eden Isabelle) into our family. As anyone with kids knows having a baby join your family brings lots of changes. It’s unlikely I’ll get a full uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep (heck even 3 hours) for the next several months unless I’m…
Hill and Headwinds – This Separates the Weak and the Strong
by
I remember heading out on my first group ride after getting a road bike. I was totally worried about getting dropped the group or about them talking behind my back when I left and saying how slow I am. The reality is that I held my own through most of the ride. The only thing…

Let’s face it many of us plan to blog way more than we do, at the very least it applies to me and this blog (well me and all the blogs I have). The original plan was to have something out each Tuesday but life, stuff, StarCraft II, seem to get the way. Since I…

Timing Your Intervals
by
Most of my riding is done early in the morning in the dark which means I can’t read my watch or see my cycling computer so watching my intervals is a bit of a challenge. I do also listen to music (yeah I know some people hate it) while riding though so my iPod is…
WordPress Multisite Domain Mapping with Media Temple
by
While there are lots of tutorials out there that teach you how to setup domain mapping on your WordPress Multisite install there really aren’t any that deal with a particular issue (let’s call it ‘feature’) on Media Temples servers. It’s not really a bug and I’m sure some Unix guy out there can tell my…
