Post from 30 Jan 2006 - Good news and improving news

Sorry I haven't posted for a day or two.

Today is brought to you by the letter P and the number 70. I've probably had them before but my Dad is in hospital so I reserve the right to repeat. His first name and last name both begin with the letter P and he is 70.

He's not feeling too good right now as he's received three pints of blood, three packs of saline, an aborted OGD - you really don't want to know about the OGD and why it was aborted.

Right now he's on nil-by-mouth until Wednesday when they'll try the OGD again. So he's worried, hungry (and therefore grumpy - I know where I get THAT from!) and uncomfortable.

He's on the way back though - he's in the right place and receiving brilliant care.

Best wishes Dad from all of us here! XxXxXxX

Now onto some different news:

The exciting thing is that I've been working very closely with a dozen or so podcasters and listeners to produce "Podcast User", the first PDF Magazine dedicated to podcasting. Podcast User will be launched within the next day or two.

From little acorns they say and if the variety of very high quality articles which touch on various aspects of podcasting are anything to go by there really will be something there for everyone.

So the best thing is to watch this space!


Amazingly, given my Dad's position, the Oblique Strategies say "(Organic) machinery" - spooky eh!
