In Sickness and In Health 28 February, 2007 — Stuart Brown

Yesterday I woke up with a slight sore throat and yet I shrugged it off in the name of getting to work. Today I've been lumbered with an even worse sore throat, a cough and a runny nose. I suspect I have a throat infection - they're all the rage this time of year.

Still, I'm thankful to my employers for being quite generous in the working-from-home policy, so in between lemsips, blowing my nose and naps I'll be working remotely. It's not something I'd normally like to do, as there are a million distractions at home - the TV, Xbox, YouTube, sleep, and even the washing up - but it's better than venturing out on the cold air on my bike.

There's the newly-redesigned Manchester Evening News site, too - with slick Web 2.0 styles and shiny RSS buttons too. Plenty to keep me occupied there, and it's nice to see a smaller newspaper get to grips better than many other larger ones.

Just a shame Web 2.0 is so 2006.
