Weeeeee!!!!! Biking! Yeah! :D

I ride a bike again, after several years of pause.

My colleague Julian borrow me one of his bikes to test if I can bike every day from Coventry to Kenilworth, where I work (about 10 miles). Well, I took the test but unfortunately I will not use the bike to get there and back every day. First of all, I'm afraid of the cars, some drivers are going really fast and risky, and second, I don't want to be sweat at the office, we don't have shower facilities.

Anyway, it was nice remembering my old friend, the bike. Ahhhhhhh....... :D

In Coventry and Birmingham with a dear friend :)

Life is better with friends. :) We had a nice weekend with Radu Lazarutu visiting us! He works for Siemens in Romania (Timisoara) and is detached at the moment in London. We still remember the fantastic weekend spent at his home near Borsec in 2006 when he hosted an AIESEC conference, just few weeks after Diana and I got together.

Well, it was definitely out of routine for us! It's good that he likes cars 'cause in Coventry we have the largest transport museum in the UK and there are 2 of the fastest cars on the planet, Thrust2 (1983) and ThrustSSC (1997), true rockets on wheels. The speed record breaking simulator was nice as well!

Come back Radu, there's far more to see, hope next time we'll have better weather and will be able to do more outdoor activities! :)

Technical SEO, Link Building Specialist at Miromedia in Kenilworth

Following my experiences as agency link builder and in-house SEO/webmaster, today I started my new job, first one with responsibilities in a media agency dealing with a big number of accounts. This is a logical step in my career, to be honest, I wasn't expect to find a match so fast but it came just at the right moment, it was the time to move on from my previous company, the job was completed, they didn't need me any more - briefly: 70 first positions, another 150 listings on first page. There was also the "luck" element involved, chances for such a match were small at this moment (economical crisis) in this area (Warwickshire & West Midlands) where the unemployment rate is one of the highest in the UK. Let's see how it goes, the start was fantastic! :) We will work for the whole West Midlands area including Coventry area, so everyone's invited to click on our link for SEO Coventry.
