Prodrivel, What?
Prodrivel is the personal blog of Oliver White. The domain was registered a while ago when the Formula One obsessed and BlogF1 author had the crazy idea of writing about new-team-to-the-sport, Prodrive. Thinking the domain was clever, he waited with anticipation for the launch of the squad. Alas, they never made it and Ollie was left with the site and nothing to write about.
As Ollie’s already-established Formula One site grew, he found himself not updating his personal blog, Knee High To A Grasshopper (no longer available). Eventually, Ollie decided to pull the plug and he closed the site. After about six months though, he realised he missed personal blogging and decided to use this domain for his new efforts.
Prodrivel will not be updated with any regularity or pattern. Instead, Ollie will post when he feels he can, and this will hopefully ensure you only get the very best of what goes on in his mind. And believe me, Ollie is quite the British eccentric at times.
Ollie, What?
Ollie is an ‘81 born Formula One fan who, when not blogging about the sport at BlogF1, is often found at the beach or in a cafe. Ollie loves to travel and has a special place for Italy in his heart. If all else fails, Ollie doesn’t mind a game of volleyball or a paddle up a river in a kayak.
Away from work, sleeping, Formula One blogging and coffee-drinking, Ollie is probably drooling over the latest supercar, listening to Miles Davis and looking longingly at his own trumpet, trying to get phone numbers from girls or watching a DVD while sipping a glass of a Chianti. If Ollie had his choice, he would live in the middle of the Tuscan countryside with no TV, no radio, no mobile and no hassles. He would though, have a broadband connection, his MacBook Pro, his trusty espresso maker and his surfboard. And his car and roof-rack, obviously.

Ollie, Where Not?
Places on the web that Ollie registered and used for a while, but doesn’t anymore. However, I could be enticed back…
- Digg - A sort of bookmarking site, but it is too competitive and self-centered for Ollie.
- Reddit - Better than Digg, but Ollie soon lost interest.
- Jaiku - An sort of lifestream for Ollie. It updates automatically, but Ollie rarely logs in.
- Plurk - A Twitter/Pownce clone, but again, it isn’t setting Ollie’s neurons on fire just yet.
Ollie, White?
This is me, these are my thoughts and this is my blog.
