My book, Building Social Web Applications is making its way through production at the minute, I've done the last substantial edits and am creating the website to support the book. It feels odd to be on this side of it, writing a book has been a large part of the last eighteen months or so. A good feeling though and I'm generally pleased with the results. It should be out in September and the book is available for pre-order from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Mostly recovered from swine flu now. Not great, but not too bad. Flu is never fun. As the saying goes "with a cold you can get out of bed, with flu you can't".
