A Funnelweb World

Sorry friends and family that I’ve been lying low for the past couple of weeks. Seems it was sinusitus - I haven’t been in that much pain since the wardrobe fell on my head back in Ivy Street. Now there’s an experience I’d forgotten about, actually.

Anyway, thanks to some prescription drugs and taking it easy, I’m starting to feel relatively normal again.

And so to updates -

Hector, ignore it, its spam. Do not pay them any money.

Kimberly, I got them and will post them in the next few weeks when I have the energy to stand in a post office queue.

Gill, I am glad you weren’t running in the lakes but isn’t Yorkshire near there somewhere?? And if you like living in Liverpool why do you spend so much time away from it????

keystone friends, yes I am still working up to the prototype but it will take a while. I am having trouble embedding the geolocation API in my test page, so have gone back to basics and am doing an online course in JavaScript to refresh my knowledge, so I can then read up on ajax (thanks Russ). Like I said, it will take a while……

the journalist at ABCnews, yes I will help you with your London questions but you’ve sent rather a lot. Should I just write the article for you?

Good night and stay well!

Anyone who knows me knows that when it comes to being sick I hate 2 things - taking painkillers and going to doctors. I prefer to just ride it out. And I hate not feeling well as it gets in the way of all the stuff I want to do.

Having a headache each morning makes it difficult to concentrate and to get started with developing the early stages of my web idea. I was hoping to spend this weekend testing out how to use the google geolocation API to determine someone’s location when they accessed my site on their mobile (the idea being so I could then push some relevant content and free offers to them). But yesterday I was barely able to drive to Sainsburys to get the shopping done - managed to fix a few things on london for free but spent the rest of the day resting.

Having a headache and ringing in my ears will also get in the way of all the stuff I want to do this week. I am hoping we can make a start on two big new projects at work, and that means holding workshops to analyse requirements and agree high level project plans. I really want to get stuck into it - just wish / hope I feel in top form for doing it.

And not feeling my best will also make chairing tomorrow night’s T&RA meeting more challenging. Thankfully we have agreed an agenda for it and hopefully we can plough on through it fairly smoothly. I really don’t want to have to sort out arguments or tell anyone to behave or leave.

Maybe I’ll try and struggle through tommorrow and if I’m still sick by Wednesday, I’ll give in and visit Dr B.
