Where do you begin this one?

Well Glen used to live (when he was still at home) two doors down from Tim (blog to come). Glen used to be the center of a social group that Tim was part of and I started to get invited to hang out with them all just before the group imploded (it wasnt me that caused it, I swear). Anyway there was a lot of tension and stuff amongst the group and because I was sort of an outsider I wasnt too messed up with all the stuff going on. Long story short Glen and I started hanging out especially once he moved out of home just down the road from me.

Glen is the king of the geeks (except in the LAN and gaming department, Crowy pwns that one). Glen upgraded the ram on my 486 so I could play the original GTA. Glen built the only real computer I have ever bought (yes I am a geek and have only bought 1 computer and 1 laptop). Glen has worked at several computer joints over the years and has plenty of stories to tell.

Glen also owns a Celica (or what was a Celica) which we both spent countless hours working on under his house on riding road. We spent many nights just chatting away under the house playing with the car.

Because Glen was broke and we are both "waiste not want not" kinda guys when Glen moved out we made the most of council toss outs. We managed to score everything from computer monitors to tvs to dryers to printer to speaker boxes. It is amazing how cheaply we can be entertained.

I am reasonably sure that Glen is the one that started me on the jogging craze. One night with Brad we decided we should go for a jog. We only went once but I enjoyed it. I certainly know that Glen got me back into cycling after several years off the bike and for that I owe him immensly.

I couldnt write a blog abotu Glen without mentioning his driving ability. ummm how do you sum this up "INSANE". You have never seen a girly car move like this. For those of you who were wondering if the log book top speed of 155km/h for a manual 1.5L mirage was accurate... well no... apparently the correct figure is 203km/h (with a tail wind).

Some of my greatest memories of time spent with Glen have been cycling "moments". The afternoon of my 21st was spent riding down Mt Gravatt in the pouring rain at speeds which probably werent all that safe. The most memorable one was riding down from the summit of Mt Kosciusko in the pouring rain again.

Glen is the only person who was crazy enough to quit his job and travel around the Australian outback with me in the middle of summer. One day I will write a blog all about the trip.

Glen has now settled down and has a woman, a kid, a baby and all that resposibility stuff.

msg to Glen: You are the WORLDS most outgoing computer geek. Your technical knowledge of hardware has always amazed me. I dont think there are that many people that have both of these to the same level, in fact I would say it is a very rare combination of skills. I am sure you will use this to live a very happy life with your family. You have taught me soo much and shared so many great times with me. Thanks for everything mate. Tim Tam's and Ice Coffee Break to you.

Have fun.
