Last night was the netball awards night, I took the present for my coach and prepared for a night out with the girls. What I wasn’t prepared for was actually winning something! I’m Shipley Netball Club’s “Most Promising Newcomer”, which is a fantastic honour and I’m very very excited to have won!
The award is a glass with a wooden stand … as I was out for a few drinks afterwards its in the care of Janet at the moment so I shall post photographs when I reclaim it!

quiet of not sharing I must say. I get a bit loopy though i
f I stay home for too long! The offline time trick is a goo
d one – I like to at least turn off the monitor and use a pe
n sometimes.
dotjay about Six Months of Telecommuting Mon, 25.08.2008 20:00 I’m so glad that you settled into telecommuting so well. As
you know, I’ve been working for myself and/or telecommuting
for the last five years. I’ve never really had the experienc

worked in that way – but I’m completely happy to be told oth
erwise :) Don’t be surprised that curl lets you do weird an
d wonderful things, lots of tools are like that and it allow

shaun about Accessing Incoming PUT Data from PHP Sat, 23.08.2008 10:21 ok, I’ve been experimenting with this, ‘switch’ing on the RE
