The shape of things to come.

This is just to let you know of a few things we are working on for the future of our website and blog pages etc that may be of interest to you - Or not, as the case may be.
In conversation with Charliemac (as this ramble is posted to 4 different blog sites you may or may not know who he is) we are looking at some kind of webcam feed for whilst we are on the road so that you can actually look out of our windscreen and try to put your foot through the floor when you think I am too close to the vehicle in front - I hate backseat drivers!!. This feed will then hopefully be accessed via the website and possibly one or two of the blog sites. I am testing it at the moment by feeding a view of our garden, and it does not work but after working with computers for over 25 years I expect to solve that very soon. It will also feature a chat box so you can interact with us but please don't expect a reply whilst I am driving, though the co-driver may respond if she's not asleep or engrossed in a film.
In conjunction with the above we plan GPS tracking so that you can see exactly where we are just by looking at a map on the net. This is not fully working yet either as all I can get it to do at the moment is show us at home or in Norway. And we are never in Norway!! Well not yet anyway, who knows.
Also, already gone live on the main blog site (www.flog-it.blogspot.com) is another chat box so you can leave messages and we can respond quickly. We added this because we do not have comments enabled on that blog even though it is our main point of contact. Also we can leave little snippets of info whilst on the road without having to write a complete blog posting. Take a look and see what you think.
And finally, as part of our other work, do you need a holiday? Take a look at the picture. This is one of the holiday villas that we manage that still has some early and late season weeks available for booking. It has fantastic views over Tamariu from almost the highest point in the hills so if you want to keep us in work during these hard times then you need to take a holiday. It does actually have a fantastic terrace area and balcony and also a very big swimming pool, just that this photo does not really do justice to the size and situation of the villa.
