The past four weeks I've been working my ass off for the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Shifting kegs and stock around at 7am is more entertaining than it sounds, and meeting Paul Merton was less so.

So, theSpoke got a face-lift. Actually it's pretty obvious it's more than just that, the whole shebang seems to have been replaced. Most of it's fine, though some of it's quite obtuse. For instance, while I'm writing this post, I've no obvious link that I can click to get back to my blog; I'm stuck in 'blog administration land', an area that has a similar feel to Milton Keynes. Also, the list of 'blogs I read' seems to have been eradicated, which is a total *** frankly. I had a list of ~30 blogs I used to regularly read and now for the life of me I'll be damned if I can remember five of them to re-subscribe to. Some teething problems remain, it seems.

New phone should be on its way though, a c550 on Orange. Always wanted a Smartphone to play with, and this one'll mean I don't have to go buying an MP3 player as well. A gig SD-card or two should suffice, can fit a couple SG-1 eps and some albums onto that bad boy for train journeys home. An actual report will follow, once (if) I get it.

That RealCache thing I started hasn't been touched since I started work; it's hard to motivate yourself to breathe let alone code after a 60+ hour week of physical work, but now that my contract's over I shall finish it off and duly post it. I'll also be making SharpDoku a little better, then starting a new project, the details of which have yet to be finalised. Hopefully it'll be marginally more long-term than anything else I've started recently; I'm thinking a light-weight forum system or similar if only so I can do some web-dev after my fairly lengthy reprieve.

Until then...
