It has been a full 5 years since I opened radiac.net, and this also just happens to be news entry 1000! How exciting!

As you may have noticed, I have half done the long-awaited redesign! Only half-done though, have only had time to do the design and basic structure, the rest of the content will follow along once I get my CMS finished. Although I have added the 'caption of the day' at the top right of each page - it changes once a day!

So, 1000 entries in 5 years. A lot has happened in 5 years. Well of course it has, 5 years ago I was in the 6th form at Tonbridge, sorting out some music competition, having revelations that were unrelated to my 20-can-a-day Sprite habit, watching Jennicam, and spending almost every waking minute on TR. Those were the days when Force 9 had server outages, when nobody could argue that Quake 2 wasn't the best deathmatch game ever, when I was still new to the joys of teaching, and before I had passed my driving test. So yes, I guess at 17 there's a lot of scope for a lot to change in 5 years, and it certainly has. I didn't expect I'd be sitting in my girlfriend's living room writing this entry, for a start. But really I think that as long as the next 5 years can be as interesting and varied as the past 5, I'll be doing well. Let's wait and see. Here's to the past 5 years, and here's to the next. See you at diary entry 2000 :)
