11 days and no updates?

That's correct, 11 days and counting. So, what's up? Well, I'm ill again and been off work now for two weeks and counting - what's up? Well, I have a very angry colon which isn't too much fun. I'm on some rather strong drugs and to be honest this site is really the least of my worries at the moment. But...
I've almost finished the latest in the grid series, which is proving to be much more than a 'Simple Step', maybe I need to rename that series eh? Either that or just make them smaller and, well, simpler. I've got some other articles in works too, one of which isn't going to be published here, but will hopefully bring some sense to wayfinding on the web and how we can draw on signage design to do that. That's something I'm really interested at the moment and will touch on semiotics (still doing the research though).
So, please do keep checking in. I've not gone, or given up, just having a bit of a rest.

I'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.
I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

Pffft, eleven days is nothing. I’m on forty-three days and counting (for my Editorials section, anyway, which is the focus of my site), and I’ve been in perfect health! You’ve got a long way to go in the slacking game, Boulton. Keep trying.
Oh, and feel better, too…

You’re right Rob, I certainly shouldn’t feel bad about eleven days. Forty-three is a very impressive total!

Thanks Chaps, just a slight pang of guilt for not writing anything remotely interesting for ages.
Well, I’m on steroids John but i’ve heard smack is good for colophon’s, particularly the angry kind :o)

Sorry to hear you’re ill mate, doesn’t exactly sound like the most pleasant of illnesses either - don’t stay at that keyboard for too long and get better soon

Step away from the keyboard!
Now sit down and relax.
Eleven days without adding a suitably wise and erudite article?! I think your loyal readers will forgive you for that under normal circumstances let alone when you are suffering.
Get well soon mate.

I second Jon’s remark — blog updates aren’t life or death. Oh, and thanks for giving me your cold.
