Suddenly there’s just a couple of weeks to go until I leave Edinburgh. I find this very hard to believe, although there’s a strange feeling somewhere that it definitely is happening.

I got my contract from the Beeb through the post. Black and white, there it is: job. I find this very hard to believe, although there’s a strange feeling somewhere that it definitely is happening.

Not long from now I’ll be 30 years old. I’ll have left Edinburgh, signed that contract, begun the journey to London. Three decades. Blimey. It definitely is strange.

I’ve just finished started working on an idea - something that I was experimenting with at work, as a way to solve those tricky situations when you have lots of content, but not enough space to put it.

I thought it might be something worth chucking out there.

It builds on a movement script by Jeremy Keith - his book, DOM Scripting, is very good.

Have a play with the Sliding Lists demo, and you’ll see the first version. Scrappy at the moment, but I’ll improve it.

I won’t recap on the New Year break, although I will say that it did involve drinking a surprising amount… but not in a bad way. Mostly.

Everything’s a bit up in the air at the moment, so there may be a few gaps in the next while…
