... so, full of confident smugness ....

... onto the widgets and gadgets module, which is good fun. And you can see something happening straight away, so you either get it right or wrong. If you get it wrong it doesn’t work, simple as that. I like that kind of learning, none of this crap about there being no winners or losers, it’s all about taking part. No it isn’t! It’s about getting the box of chocolates at the end.

So I widgetted (a new entry for the English dictionary?) the BBC weather forecast for Manchester, so that when I’m having the odd pangs for old buildings, chippies that have vinegar as standard, and the need for a night out with my bezzy, I can call up my blog and see straightaway that 12,000 miles away it’s peeing down and it’s cold, even though it’s the end of summer there and it’s sunny and warm in Christchurch even though it’s the end of winter.

So, the purpose of widgets is to make you feel better. I like them.
