Remember when click-click used to be the sound of knitting needles? No. Me neither. I’ve always hated that kind of thing, never had the patience for it.
Nonetheless, the latest clicking chorus is a fairly new feature only really heard in the last decade or so. But it’s getting louder and I’m not sure how to stop it.
After a couple of days away from my computer (ok I have a BlackBerry, but that doesn’t really count), I sat down to catch up.
I check my emails – both addresses, see how my ebay sales are going, have a look at the blog, zip onto Facebook and plough through everything RSS has delivered.
An hour has passed, I need another coffee and the baby has woken up.
I like to know what’s going on, see the latest ideas and generally keep in touch, but it’s getting out of hand.
Please could someone invent a gadget that only delivers the ten most important clicky things and then locks shut until I’ve done enough other stuff.
