To Blog or not to Blog

I haven't blogged for a while now for quite a few reasons but mainly:

  • return of RSI/CTS (repetitive strain injury or carpal tunnel syndrome)
  • family commitments (translates to can't be arsed)

however I have found myself many times thinking "that would make a good post" but am normally not in front of a PC and now I don;t have a decent mobile device for blogging I find it a pain in the ... by the time I get to the PC I've forgotten about it.

I got a new SPV (C700) to test recently so could do mobile blogging more easily again but big posts on a normal SPV keypad don't go well with RSI/CTS so for a while at least blogging will be sparse or at the very least verbose.

I'm on route to Portland Oregon for a conference, long day, door to door about 24 hrs travelling, plenty of waiting in airports and to cap it all I've developed tooth ache along the way which is bloody annoying given I wont be home for a week and to get it done here would probably cost a small fortune, maybe the company can pay ;)

Here's a wee map of the route out, as usual I got to fly to Amsterdam first and then fly back over my house more or less on the way over.. oh and the pleasure of possibly the oldest DC10 in the fleet




and here's a global view of the entire route, for some reason I route back through Seattle, no time to drop in to Microsoft though...
