I’m feeling the risk of becoming like the salmon again. Breathe and count to ten. Not helping.
OK, you’ve probably not noticed the seamless move of this website off-site to a new server. Good eh? I was getting a bit panicky about the age of my hard disks and the weakness of my backup solution, so as this blog hit 1000 entries I moved it to my rented space on a pro server. It now has a new domain name: www.dontbeasalmon.net. Go on, try it. Using www.samwebster.net will also always work.
Do you remember the salmon?
The new name is supposed to remind me of the salmon’s fate and slow me down, but when you’ve been knocked off your bike twice in 5 months, each time destroying a laptop you rely on for any hope of effective working (and still waiting for repair costs), your commute has stolen over 3 hours a day from you for a year and a quarter (and over £2500), and the work you want to do is made so much harder by the neverending crap you don’t want to do, you can feel those steroid hormones bubbling away. And that makes it worse.
Fuck it. I’m going to eat 20 doughnuts a day and get huge sitting on my sofa playing on the Xbox (I’ll be too big to get in my PC’s chair). Ace.
