I sometimes lie in bed and think how dull my life would be if I 
had never started writing my blog, meeting so many interesting people, making friends with virtual strangers (not as sad as it sounds), receiving great invitations and now looking forward to exciting new opportunities which are just around the corner.
Some of you may know I have Geoff to thank for this, he launched me and my blog and provides me with technical support. I can never thank him enough. Thanks also to Tim Almond for this.
So today I turned up on Geoff’s doorstep and took him out for lunch to one of his favourite local haunts, Le Gros Franck in Cambridge. On our way back to his house, we walked past Doug Richard a former Dragon from Dragon’s Den, he has offices nearby and I might see him there next week at a special event I have been invited to.
I had wanted Geoff to add a couple of social bookmarking tags to my site, but he surpassed himself by including a whole colourful array of pretty looking links at the bottom of my posts, including de.licio.us and StumbleUpon, as well as some I have never previously heard of.
I was also able to catch up with my fellow Cambridge Evening News colleague Boni Sones who runs the Women’s Parliamentary radio station and is staying with Geoff at the moment.
I declined Geoff’s suggestion to try one of his latest tekkie fads, but it does look fun, you might like to have a go yourself. It’s called Daily Mugshot and allows you to take a picture of your face every day (it has software which finds the eyes in the the newest picture, and aligns them with the eyes in the first picture. ) it stores the images and then allows you to play them back as a video. His pretty daughter Emily has signed up, but then I doubt she ever has a bad hair day …
*Just realised my headlines says “booking” instead of “bookmarking”. Ah well, it had been a long day.
These are super as I have wanted to bookmark some of your things on delicious & Stumbleupon. Do you not have a Facebook button?
Oh, I have too many bad hairdays and bad face days for that!!
I don’t think I would like a photo of me every day but it does sound interesting. I have no idea about all these tags that people have under posts.
Hi Captain Picard, I have a facebook link at the top left corner of my site, I’ll ask Geoff if he thinks we should add alongside my new tags.
Is “share and enjoy” a Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference? (It’s the slogan of the complaints division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation)
I’m with jmb: I couldn’t cope with a photo of me every day, let alone inflict it on others! I wondered what those pretty thingamies were under your posts….
What a sociable person you are, Ellee.
I wish I could be like you but sadly I’m not.
