First CD

I've just come across the page selling the first of the two CDs I'm working on, here. I'm loving the way they have no photo for it, and an incorrect description - you can tell this is something they're keen to promote...

It would have been nice to have some credit somewhere on something, although I'm still waiting for my copy of it, so perhaps I'm listed on the 8 page insert. I'll have to wait and see. Still, maybe I should put a little easter egg into the second one just in case?

Happy Birthday To Me!

I had a very happy birthday yesterday, thank you to everyone who remembered!

So another change. Sorry Andrew, you'll have to change your greasemonkey script again :)

My Shoulder Hurts

Just recently my shoulders have started hurting. Not all the time, not both at the same time, but it will come on during the day, and then when I go to bed I can't lie in any position where it isn't agony. I'm not sure what's wrong with it, but it's probably muscular, caused by poor posture when I'm working. I'm now very concious of how I'm sitting, but I don't know if I'm sitting right.

The RSI in my wrists seems to have gone away since I changed tables ...
