I’m going to miss Soundcloud

It seems that Soundcloud is about to disappear: the sound-sharing website has only a few weeks, possibly months, of money left in the coffers and, if current reports are to be believed, once that has run out it will disappear. There are reports of backups being made, by archive.org and even individuals, but time will tell how … Continue reading I’m going to miss Soundcloud →

Notes from hospital (1)

I am in hospital. It’s Tuesday now, almost midday, and I’m supposed to be here for two weeks. I came in around Friday lunchtime: 95 of my expected 336 hours down; 241 to go. Because I have cystic fibrosis my body makes a very hospitable home for infections, especially in my lungs. Every now and … Continue reading Notes from hospital (1) →
