Yesterday marked the beginning of the end of one of my largest and most prestigious projects. Since 2003 I have worked as the web consultant to British Heart Foundation National Centre and yesterday was the day I was told that the responsibility was now being transferred to the university as part of a streamlining project. I had been working on the development of a major overhaul of the website over the past few months, but my schedule doesn't permit large scale rebuilds until the ends of an academic year (generally) so the account had been put on hold and I spent most of my time in the past six months updating the existing site. It is a shame for me, as I would really have liked to have worked further on the next generation, and upgrading the original site to come into line with web standards. Some of my work will move across, but I am unsure of how much. I have offered my services in the future should they need them on other projects. It was the first major site project that I undertook while at Loughborough and so sentimentally will always be important. It is also the first major client I have ever ended the account with, but at least I have the satisfaction of putting working for the BHF NC on my CV as well as being an employee of the Loughborough Sports Science department (a coup d'état considering my sporting 'prowess'). The current project will be tied up in the next two or three months.

Also yesterday heralded one or two other events. For example, I'm probably getting a new phone. Well in fact, I am. Nick is helping me out and I'm going to be picking up a Sony W800i, which although not the newest, is the best I can afford right now. It is quite important in the scheme of things, as I've never been on contract before, but in retrospect I have been incredibly naive in my choice of pay as you go plan. This will hopefully be a new departure from ridiculous spending and call-making avoidance. After all, it's good to talk.

I managed to get an emergency visit to the medical centre last night. Although it wasn't much of an emergency for me, in order for me to get to see the nurse, I had to be, so I became one. It meant I was able to pick up a prescription for inhalers and headed back home in order to finish off some work for Echos and PCdoesIT.

This morning I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can''t tell you anything about that.

Tonight is Swede's birthday, so it's a houseparty around theirs. It looks like me, The Swan and Jono are heading over in ten, so I''m off to get myself sorted. Goodnight.
