well as you will have seen from my many tweets, i was indeed struck down with the dreaded pig flu. i’ve managed to dig my way out of my trough and i’m back on top form. i thought that you might find it useful for me to share a few of the signs that you might want to look out for though :-

as you can see, when you’re finally better, you’re so grateful, you’re happier than you’ve ever been – so there is an upside

sending hugs,

well it was bound to happen, given that i attract drama… i only went and got myself a dose of the swine flu i’m going to keep this brief, because, well frankly, my bed looks damn good right now. so for this week, i’m passing the video over to my little friend to host (with a drop of irony for good measure).

enjoy.

but when it comes to lying to children, there are so many guilty culprets… time we had a look to assess the situation me thinks!

i’m still getting over the fact that there was still ice-cream!

have an awesome week!

well it’s saturday and the hangover from thursday night’s techcrunch europa awards is just about wearing off… what a night!

spotify well and truly stole the show, winning awards for the best web application/service, best startup founders and best new startup summer 2008-2009 – which seemed more than a good enough reason for me to consume another champagne with spotify being my favourite app of late. i think all of my christmases came at once when shakil kahn from spotify asked to be introduced to me and then went on to introduce me to roberta!

whilst i was disappointed that my good friend richard moross of moo only made it to the finalists for best entrepreneur, it was sweetened slightly by huddle winning the best enterprise/b2b startup (emea) award.

it was fantastic to finally meet the travelling geeks, including Robert Scoble, Sarah Lacy and Meghan Asha. it was great to see so many familiar faces, including my friends Tariq Krim (Netvibes), Zee Kane (The Next Web), Michael Smith (Firebox), Andy McLoughlin (Huddle) and Andrew Scott (Rummble) amongst many others.

the event just went to prove what a happening web scene exists in europe, how tight the community is and that even in times of an economic turndown, paid events still serve a very good purpose. i walked away more inspired and motivated than i can remember being in a very long time, promising myself to attend more events in future. thanks to mike butcher for organising!

now please don’t think that i’m a public transport snob, i’m not. it’s just that my standards seem to be different from those of my fellow travellers… i’m sure that a few of my points with strike a chord!

i’m equipped with hand steriliser and a face mask, i should be fine…

have an awesome thursday.
