It’s tight like that

is that a handkerchief I see before me?

I’m still on a snuffle come-down with a slightly thick head (nothing new there) and a tendency to cough explosively at random moments.

I have been passing my time in various ways.   I have the concentration to read again and am working my way through John Markoff’s What The Doormouse Said which looks at the roots of personal computing in the counter-culture of the late fifties and sixties.  This isn’t as dry as it sounds and is worth a dip if you’re interested.

I have also been listening to a wonderful internet radio station –Tight Like That Radio which broadcasts only pre-ww2 blues, hokum, swing and jazz tunes. It’s great and what’s more because all the tracks are limited by the time available on a 78rpm record you are never more than 3 minutes away from the next tune if the current one doesn’t grab your attention.

The current playlist is here.

I have also been messing further with Vignette (which I have now paid for) and have put quite a lot of shots in the gallery.  Here is a further short selection.
