# Thanks to Robert for pointing out the stupid typo (feed.opml instead of feeds.opml) in the element of my feed. That's now been corrected.

The xsl stylesheet appears to have stopped working though (I had that problem before) so I've temporarily removed it until I work out why.

Update: ignore that, it's something to do with the browser on my phone. As you were.

 # A couple of weeks ago I decided that I was going to return to World of Warcraft. I created a new character 1 but didn't do anything with it. A second character only made it a few levels.

I thought it wasn't going to happen until a few days ago when I returned to the first character and just started playing. I'm still going and enjoying it — taking my time, reading all the quest text and watching all the cut scenes no matter how many times I've seen them before.

The immersive approach seems to be working.

# In other news, I've also been able to concentrate on music for the first time in ages. Maybe it's the nicer weather or the pills are starting to have an effect.

Just the start of something new.

I've got a track from a while ago that I never uploaded anywhere as it was going to be on a new EP but then couldn't finish any others to go with it. Maybe it will happen now.

 # Dan pointed to a new proposed standard from Dave Winer for blogroll advertisement and discover: a link tag with rel attribute of 'blogroll'.

I've added one to the home and blog pages that points to the OPML generated by /reader:

I've also added the new channel level element to the RSS feed.

 # The weather definitely affects my mood. Yesterday was a lovely warm, sunny day, the kind of spring day that hints of summer to come. Today is cooler and grey. Not the dark grey of impending storms but a boring, nothing grey – it's just there.

Yesterday, my mood was relatively good. We had returned from hospital the evening before, relieved that my wife didn't have to be admitted. It also helped that I completed a large task for work in Excel. The nice weather almost a confirmation of the relief associated with both.

Today, I have a wall of emails, a further backlog of tasks, and multiple meetings which will prevent me from spending time on those tasks. There is no indication of when we will be able to recruit the people for my team so I'm still doing everything. It's all too much.

The greyness of the day matches and amplifies the greyness of my mood.

It's been just over a week since I went back to the doctor and started on my meds again – just a low introductory dose that will be reviewed after four weeks. I know that it takes a while for them to take effect so I'm not expecting instant results, I certainly don't feel that they're doing anything yet but that's as anticipated.

# I've made a couple of tweaks – why do I sound surprised!

  • The latest post on the home page is truncated again with a 'read more' arrow
  • The RSS feed once more has a customised version of Matt Webb's pretty feed xsl stylesheet

 # Anne (AKA Apple Annie) suggested an alternative to NaBloPoMo 1 in WeblogPoMo, running through May. It was originally conceived for those with blogs hosted at weblog.lol. However, in her words:

I didn't want to exclude anyone not using weblog, nor necessarily people not even using omg.lol, so it is open to anyone

May is as good a time as any to jump back on the blog (I have put a few thoughts over at the Carousel) but I can't promise I'll post every day this month. Anything is better than nothing, and however many times I do post throughout the month will be enough.

I'll be keeping things restricted to just the Daily Feed.

Anne suggests bloggers choose a guiding topic for the month so as to feel more inclined to post. I suppose if I were to choose something it would be mental health but we'll see what happens.

# Still, currently in Preston Hospital with my wife so not an ideal start to May.


  1. National Blog Posting Month, itself an adjacent to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November each year
