It’s been about 2 weeks since my last post and since I’m the one usually bashing on other bloggers not posting regularly enough, I’ve posting an interim update.

Why the delay?

Couple of things – I had a bout of tendonitis (you might’ve seen my wrist brace at January’s Affiliate Summit) that flared up pretty badly about a week ago. I went to see a orthodontics specialist and got a steroid jab in my tendon. Hopefully things improve, else he might have to cut open my wrist (in a good way) to fix the stuff in there. That might affect my reaction time when it comes to FPS games. oh well.

At the same time I got my steroid shot and my wrist started to recover, I played some ball games last week and it probably wasn’t a good idea to wear running shoes on a basketball court… The consequence? Twisting my right ankle (it was bend 90 degrees to the left with a nice “snap” sound). Now it’s about 20% larger than my left foot and I’m hobbling around like a hobbit. Keeps life interesting, right?

On the work front, I’ve taken up an editorial gig at a newspaper (remember those?) and it’s interesting to see what will appear in the newspaper a day before publication. Good fodder for trend research.

I’d been talking to a CPA network about a major project relating to Facebook (nothing to do with FB ads or affiliate marketing) and the deal is frozen for the moment. It’ll still be one of my major focuses this year (as soon as I get my taxes done), so there’ll be fewer twitter and blog updates till some of this backlog gets cleared.

I probably won’t be on AIM as much as I used to be, so to all the affiliate managers asking:

1. Yes, I’m still in the industry
2. Yes, I plan to promote the offers we discussed
3. No, I probably only can do it after April 20th
