I don’t know if you’ve met Yay. You should, her blog’s a riot. She’s a pharmacist but has returned to uni to upgrade to doctor status. Anyway, I just thought I’d give her a plug… seeing as I could have used a medico today… I nearly died.
[pause]
Here’s the bit where I either launch into a description of my hospital room or…
Confess that I was not being literal.
Which I wasn’t.
Actually, I nearly had a heart attack (ok, more like heart palpitations) because for NEARLY ALL OF THE DAY I couldn’t blog.
I know, totally life threatening. Which isn’t to say that I normally blog on a daily basis – but Not To Be Able To is abominable.
ANYway the short story is that my webhost had a hard drive die on them and while I was terribly long suffering and patient I nearly ate my nails to the quick on behalf of my hosting client who being also hosted on THAT server and who had no email all day…
Happily, at 8.30pm calm and order was restored and I backed up my blog, called the client to reassure them that it will be business as usual and did a quick check of the knickers drawer to make sure everything was in its place.
It was.
Which causes me to mention that as I’ve been launched into the world of podcasting of late, on account of The Boss, and now that I understand about RSS and stuff I’ve hooked up with Bloglines.
And quite frankly it is my New Best Friend (it’s ok Kirk, I do still luff you)!!! because on it I can see who has posted virtually the minute they do. (though Greavsie usually manages to have munificent comments by the time the feed updates… I don’t know what sort of blog ‘roids he’s on…)
[Ed. bollocks… who just commented first at Greavsie’s then???] [ahem … it was a fluke]
[ — resume posting]
Furthermore as I’m a little disturbed about how big a space blogs/blogging is taking up in my world at the moment (pauses to recollect that I also have to study (let alone to remember to go to lectures…2/7 so far), complete the projects I’m working on for my business, and actually hold down a full time job…) it is timely to discover the tool that is going to help me get back on track.
That being said, I could go on hiatus, which is apparently quite a blogfashionable thing to do.
[Ed. as if].
[thinking… thinking…]
Nah… I’ll stick with the feed aggregator as a means to manage things better… Now I just have to remember to only look at it 1x a day…
[ma’am… take your hands off the keyboard and step aWay from the computer…]

“My name is Deeleea. And *gulp* I’m an addict!”

I luff you too Aunty Dee :) I wondered where you had gotten to yesterday… For a minute there you were giving ME palpitations – I thought you were being literal! Don’t go putting me into premature labour please!!!
