Code and confusion
My head is full of code and confusion, but I'm slowly getting there; I keep having little light bulbs of understanding going off in my rusty brain. This is me trying to get my head around Wordpress and HTML and PHP and CSS and MySQL... My holiday project has rather taken over my head space... so I think I'm going to move Frizz over sooner rather than later, not least because it's distracting me from doing any 'proper' work, then I'll tinker with it as I get to know the system. The moving bit is a little worrying... I'd welcome any advice from any readers who have done it before.
A happy slappy New Year, I reckon it can't be said too often...

Magical ice
Yesterday a group of us went skating, luckily missing the rain. There were a few left over puddles on the ice and we had a couple of wet bottoms, but I won't name names! Little John was a star. And as always it was magical, there is something very special about skating and especially about skating outside.

Raising my geekiness
What I have been doing instead, is checking out WordPress and I'm considering moving Frizz. I was thinking about it this time last year, but then I thought it would be too big a technical leap and I wasn't sure I could justify buying some hosting space (would I keep blogging?), but now it seems a good project for the New Year. It's still going to be a huge technical leap, but I've actually been enjoying raising my geekiness level over the last few days. So just to say, there might be some rather dramatic changes to Frizz in the coming weeks.

Russian Tea
Red and gold and twinkling lights. A big table with friends sitting around chatting, laughing. Divine hot chocolate and good conversation. And a little one. Thanks everyone for coming it was lovely to see you all.

Well wishes
I'm lazily listening to Woman's Hour when Jenni Murray says she has some news of her own... I hold my breath, because she says it in a way you know it's something serious... she has breast cancer. Murray is Woman's Hour, it's never the same without her. So I'm wishing her a very speedy recovery, she says her "prognosis is excellent", I hope it's not long before she's back where she belongs and that she knows she has the well wishes of so many of us.

Who knew?
For the second time this week, someone who I would never have imaged to have any Jewish ancestry, has just told me that they think one of their grandfather's might have been Jewish.

Proactive
Gosh, Virgin.net seem to have had a customer service policy change. So I had a call this afternoon responding to my email problem... and now it's working again. I'm impressed...

The Spine
Are you thinking about opting out of the NHS database? I have serious doubts about the idea that if I go for any medical service my records would be openly available. The only benefit would be if it would mean that the NHS would start taking a more holistic view, but I doubt that would genuinely happen and then the negatives seem to outweigh the positives. What do you think?

Email gone
My email is down: "550 mail not accepted from blacklisted IP address..." Honestly, I haven't been sending out spam...
Well I guess that means they don't know how long it's going to take...
Hi, Welcome to Virgin.Net Chat and Remote Assistance. My name is Gavin. How may I help you?
11:33 Hi, I just tried to send an email and it says 550 mail not accepted from blacklisted IP address
11:34 Ok, we do know of this issue and we are working to resolve it
11:36 can I do anything to change the IP address I'm on? [shows how much I know]
11:37 No, this is a Virgin issue and we are working to resolve it as we speak
11:46 how long do you think it will take?
