I've never had to wear a wrist strap, before, but the sheer agony in my wrist, yesterday, was on a whole other level.

Tendonitis in the wrist is something that runs in our family, so it's been somewhat odd that I've never been in much pain, especially given all the time I spend typing away.
But, nope. Looks like I'm definitely starting to get old, now!

It became apparently through the first half of the day, that this wasn't a niggling cramp that would simply go away, and so Mum dug out her admittedly large collection of wrist straps, and I picked out the most suitable candidate.

Deep Heat added, and strap firmly in place, I took the rest of the day off. To be fair, I had already suggested I was taking the day off, so this at least made me do that!
I spent a fair amount of the day playing Four in-a Row against AL, and I've made a few mental notes as to how I can make him a little less dumb when playing. Not enough to warrant a "AI Level 2", but definitely enough to stop him from ignoring really obvious moves!

Today I'll be attempting to code that, and seeing if my wrist wants to continue typing.
I must admit, having a giant strap on your wrist makes even the simplest of typing (eg, this blog post) all the more difficult, as your wrist doesn't seem to sit in the exact position it normally does, and my thumb (Mr Spacebar Hitter) is missing the key every one in five attempts. Using the trackpad is a whole other issue.

I can't imagine actual coding will be any better!
