What you're currently looking at may not look enormously different from what was here before, but it took a lot of work - especially the back-end. If anything, it looks cleaner as it's a refine... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/rewrite-of-blog BootBlock Tue, 15 May 2012 14:13:02 +0000 Post rewrite-of-blog at bootblock.co.uk A few things have happened since last time. Of the two most notable, one would be classed as Good and one would be classed as Bad. Let's start with the Bad one, shall we? I was due my practical test on the 23rd February and was having a ... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-13-petrol-crashes-and-test BootBlock Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:14:51 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-13-petrol-crashes-and-test at bootblock.co.uk A visitor asked in the comments of a Learning to Drive post how things are going, so I'm taking that as a prompt to stop being so damn lazy and post an update about how I'm doing. Lemme get the things I'm weary about out of the way first before ... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-12-mock-tests BootBlock Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:18:55 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-12-mock-tests at bootblock.co.uk Here I am reviewing an audio and video player. That doesn't sound particularly special, but I never thought I'd buy an actual, dedicated audio player. Not because even tennis balls these days support audio playback, but because Idon't really care for mu... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/review-cowon-c2-audio-video-player BootBlock Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:31:12 +0000 Post review-cowon-c2-audio-video-player at bootblock.co.uk Lesson seven was just driving around and ensuring I change down gears at the correct point on approaches to certain traffic features. Not sure why I kept trying to change gears earlier than I should - maybe I'm tying the gears to the ca... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-11-seventh-eighth-lesson BootBlock Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:08:33 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-11-seventh-eighth-lesson at bootblock.co.uk I didn't do separate posts for lessons five and six because they would've just been like lesson four. That, and doing a new post every lesson is becoming a bit "meh" as it's the last thing I want to do after constantly concentrating and driving around f... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-10-fifth-sixth-lessons-driving-about BootBlock Sun, 31 Jul 2011 11:01:32 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-10-fifth-sixth-lessons-driving-about at bootblock.co.uk Nervous. Anxious. The way I was feeling, you'd think I was about to head into war. Screw trying to calm down, and instead jump nut-first into a bout of theory question and hazard perception binging. I spent all morning going thr... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-9-driving-theory-test BootBlock Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:48:43 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-9-driving-theory-test at bootblock.co.uk I've just finished my last lesson of the RapidPass beginner's course. £50 for 6 hours, spread across four lessons as I opted to do them in 1.5 hour sessions. 1 hour simply ... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-8-fourth-lesson BootBlock Sat, 23 Jul 2011 19:34:42 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-8-fourth-lesson at bootblock.co.uk Third lesson was done this morning. Got another in a few hours. How did it go? Before I start, lemme recap on the previous instalments like a crap American reality show. It took me around 15-20 seconds to find the biting point each time due to h... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-7-third-lesson BootBlock Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:35:24 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-7-third-lesson at bootblock.co.uk I had my second lesson yesterday, about 2.5hrs after my first. The main reason for this post is to fully explain the problem I'm having that I somewhat mentioned on Twitter. Oh, and I did a load of roundabouts and a couple of T-junctions in this lesson.... http://www.bootblock.co.uk/learning-to-drive-part-6-second-lesson BootBlock Wed, 20 Jul 2011 19:19:30 +0000 Post learning-to-drive-part-6-second-lesson at bootblock.co.uk
