I have been on holiday for a week at Port Ban in Argyll, the beach looked across the Sound of Jura to the Isle of Jura where George Orwell completed Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Louise and I had a very relaxing time and we hope to go back in the future and do some of the things that we did get round to doing this time.
I have around 150 photos from the week, several of Jura with sunsets and mists. I also have photos from two Standing Stone sites in Argyll. I will post many of them to my Flickr steam tomorrow.
I had a chance to do a fair bit of writing and when I get it typed up I will be adding more chapters to Hb
It was good to be disconnected from the web for a week to get a little break, even my mobile phone was useless as it didn’t get a signal and I forgot the charger 
Anyway enough about me how you all doing?

Argh!
When I got my new mobile phone about 4 months ago I went round the online job agencies that I had registered with and update my CV and details with the new number. I have just discovered that I had entered a 7 instead of a 1 into my the Address Book on my Mac, so when I referenced the number I put the wrong number down everywhere!
Is it any wonder I have not had a call from anyone, they could e-mail but if you called someone who claimed to be a techie person and found they had the wrong number on their CV would you bother!!
As the saying goes, PANTS!

At the moment it is too hot to sleep, if I have the fan on it is too noise for me to sleep and the instant I turn it off I feel as if I have been set on fire. Okay I exaggerate but it is not pleasant.
Tomorrow evening I am running a 5k race, I think I will need plenty of water!
I am off for a weeks holiday on Saturday, a chance to escape the computers and recharge. Of course me being, well, me I am starting to worry about all the little things that could go wrong, they won’t but that won’t stop part of my twisted mind from torturing some other part.
The internet connection to our office went down today and our head technician had a conversation with some one at our ISP’s tech support that went a bit like this.
Our Tech (OT) : How long before you can give us an update.
ISP : I could be 24 hours.
OT : 24 hours!
ISP : But we will keep you up-to-date as we progress.
OT : I’ll give you the number to phone.
ISP: We can’t phone, we’ll send e-mail.
OT : That’s no use.
ISP : Why?
OT : Because we don’t have an Internet connection!
I honestly think it was Dogberts tech-support we got through to.

For a while I have wanted to have a writing project to focus on so I have decided to take one of my writing ideas to produce an online novel, it will be published on its own blog. My plan is to publish at least a chapter a month, initially it may be more.
The first chapter of my online vampire novel can be found at Hb
News etc will be published on my Writing Blog

In the last year I seem to have become obsessed with Vampire stories. I guess it started off when my girlfriend lent me her Buffy tapes and DVD’s. I have been watching Angel on the Sci-Fi channel and I have just watched Ultraviolet on DVD and it is also being repeated on Sci-Fi .
I have written a skit piece about a Vampire hunter. I am planning a second part and now I have another much longer Vampire story forming in my head which is keeping me from switching off and getting the sleep I need.
If the story does manage to escape from my brain to the word processor I will post it here.

Actually I haven’t forgotten about blogging it is mainly I have had nothing worth blogging about, no change there you all shout.
It has also been quite hot for the last month or so, something we are not very used to in Scotland, this tends to mean I am too hot at night and I don’t get a very good sleep. As a result I have little or no energy left when I get back from work, hence the lack of blog writing and reading. I will do my best to catch up with my blog list this weekend.
Updates here will be thin on the ground until I return from my holiday at the end of the month as I have a web development project to get started and I am working on a couple of projects for the blog. I have a few ideas for a follow up to Diary of a Wannabe Vampire Slayer and I am working up some ideas for a PodCast script. Also I hope to have some photos to share from my holiday.
