Right...just about got the site working sensibly again : ) Arm hurts, but hey, what can I expect...and apparently it’ll hurt ten times worse tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to that : D It’s not good...I feel scared cycling now...sometimes life really sucks badly : ’(

Pretty crappy day - changed the way the site accesses the database this morning, to discover at lunch time when I tried to use it that the new way is far more strict about reserved words and that words such as “read” are reserved apparently (meaning the message system and the forums instantly failed to work!) I should have named everything frmName. Dammit. I hate it when owenblacker is right ; ) So, anyways, there’s me being late having got frustrated with the code and left too late - belting along on my bike (did 2.9 miles in 12 minutes, which is pretty good considering all the traffic lights and Evil Digger Drivers crashing into me, but I’m getting ahead of myself ; ) - I almost end up under a van because I’m going too fast and the van driver’s a fuckwit who sees “gap in traffic” and thinks “speed” - zoom round the corner, come out the tunnel, start up to the hill towards London Bridge and go past the big diggers and stuff they have parked on the left. I notice the bloke on top waving at his mate in the JCB behind as I indicate to go past the stationary vehicles. Only this muppet decides to go right too. Right into me. I think I startled him as I bounced off the front of his digger and he stopped, then started again. What fuckwit pulls out before looking behind them? Or even indicating! So I have a HUGE bruise on the top of my arm...fortunately nothing broken, but it hurts like fuck. And the thing is, when I had my bike “sorted out” yesterday, the bike bloke asked if he could take it out for a spin to see if he could see what I was on about, and he raised the seat somewhat in the process. Now I’m a bit of a short arse, and the bike is now too tall for me, but I didn’t have time this morning to be able to lower the saddle any - which is kinda fortunate, or that bucket on the front of the works vehicle would have gone straight into my neck and I’d probably not be here to type this. I know I lead a bit of a charmed life (or as I like to call it, balanced ; )) but that kinda thing just weirds me out. Still, I got in and out of casualty in half hour this evening - must be a record for a Friday afternoon! And I think I’ve fixed the rest of the site. But I’m gonna keep testing things I think : ) Like whether or not I can post to the blog... : D
